Meet
Cathy
Hello and Welcome!
My name is Cathy Ibbotson (Francis) and I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Yoga Teacher working in the beautiful Conwy Valley, Snowdonia in North Wales.
I have 3 passions, two of which I am lucky enough to work with.
I am a yoga teacher and yoga teacher trainer.
I have been teaching since 2012. My training was a 500 hour British Wheel of Yoga training and I have since completed many, many hours of CPD with teachers such as Kino Mcgregor, Paul Grilley, Jason Crandell, John Scott and Richard Adamo.
My classes are flowing and dynamic and are a balance between building strength and flexibility as both are equally important. Classes also incorporate breathwork (pranayama) and meditation. I also throw in a little yin yoga here and there, again because I believe it's important to create balance.
I run my own 200 hour yoga teacher training programme, accredited by Yoga Teachers Together. If you'd like more information about the training or upcoming dates please drop me a message and I can let you have more details.
My other passion is hypnotherapy. I started my journey in 2021 and I hold 3 qualifications. The first is the HPD gained through North Wales Hypnotherapy Academy and the second is the Diploma in Hypnotherapy which I gained studying with Hypnotic World. The third is a Diploma in Advanced Hypnotherapy also awarded by the N.W.H.A.
I am a member of The National Council for Hypnotherapy and The Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association and am bound to adhere to their code of ethics and am accountable to both these organisation's. I take my continuing professional development seriously and keep my knowledge updated and, as is good practice as a hypnotherapist, I have a supervisor with whom I regularly check in. I also hold a current DBS certificate.
I work from Aspire North Wales Clinic Colwyn Bay, online and if you're local I'm happy to come to you, enabling you to relax in the comfort of your own home.
And, just in case you're interested, my third passion is houseplants!
