I do specialize in love and relationships, relationship and personal coaching, past life regression, energy healing, getting over a break up, infidelity, how to gain back your self confidence and love and dealing with a narcissist. I also apply psychoanalysis to my readings and to uplift my client's spirits and finding their life direction especially after the relationship devastation. I'm a very frank and straightforward reader, I don't sugarcoat and been doing this for 18 years now. I'm a former news journalist in the middle-east.

I do specialize in getting back their love ones without any spells or hoodoo or voodoo whatever. Love and relationships expert and dating guru.

--------

I can personally vouch for the experience of pain, anguish, depression, loss and isolation. So I do feel for what my clients are going through as well. The hellish ordeal of the break-ups till you pick up the million pieces of you again. I feel sorry for those people who already gnawed the desperation of delving into voodoo practice or paying hefty amounts for spells that doesn't work. I have already proven to several of my clients how I could easily manifest and regain that lost love in your relationship or save the boat for your sinking marriage and try again WITHOUT ANY SPELLS.

Most of the people say that second chances are just giving your exes a chance to dodge the bullet right through the core. But for me,  it's not. ONLY, if you will still be the same old person that you were in the past and nothing still changes and that will be my main task in your life if you want to manifest happiness, regain that lost love and connection with an awry relationship.

​My skills:

Dating While Disabled is a self-help book about dating with an illness. It is the first of it's kind, no one has ever written about dating with an illness/disability. DWD will be out June 21st and will provide dating advice on how and when to tell a prospective partner about your illness/disability. It also gives advice on how to tell your partner that you do not want children due to the illness. Since most people with an illness/disability have money issues I also give 100 cheap date ideas so they can feel like they do not have to forgo dating because of money. With my particular illness which is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I can dislocate every joint in my body, because of this sex because difficult, I give advice on new sex positions and implementing pillows into your routine to help figure out which positions and other things you can do to alleviate pain and maintain your sex life. 

I discuss at length the persons need to love themselves and their diagnosis before attempting to date. I also go through why they should not be looking for a partner if they are only looking for one because they need financial or emotional support. Whomever their partner will be is not their nurse and treating them as such will cause friction in the relationship. I discuss personality types that are suited best for people with an illness/handicap/disability and any red flags they should look for during the "get to know you" phase. 

Dating is hard enough, but adding an illness/handicap/disability makes it even harder, but not impossible. I am currently single and I know someone is out there for me and will look at my diagnosis as a strength versus a weakness. I put my heart and soul into this book and it will have 3 other books apart of the series. I will write about different stages in the relationship and how to continue on with each phase while disabled.

She was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, or EDS for short, when she was 25 years old. Before knowing about having EDS she had many surgeries correcting things that her body does naturally which is to hyper-extend. Because she was diagnosed on a fluke, she was able to help other family members to be diagnosed, but most of the time EDS is not an easy illness to be diagnosed due to the lack in research. She has had 56 surgeries so far and is slated to have more in the future. 

She is an advocate for research for people with EDS. Please feel free to contact her regarding Ehlers Danlos Syndrome if you suspect you may have EDS. Awareness for EDS is gaining momentum and hopefully will be more well known throughout the world in the coming years.

Art and Abolition is a non-profit organization based in Nairobi, Kenya that aims to restore justice to female youth surivors of sex-slavery. We are currently hosting a "$1600 in 16 Days #everygirl Campaign" to rent a new foster home for our girls and Art and Abolition founder, Britannie Richardson, for one full year. Due to threats of violence from their caregivers and extreme poverty, girls are forced to sell their bodies for everyday needs like water, food, clothing and school fees. Art and Abolition is currenlty doing something to change this through our education, art therapy, and economic empowerment programs. This campaign is focused on housing our girls in a safe, healthy environment so they can continue to heal, mentally, physically and emotionally as well as feeling free to just be children who's only job is to succeed in school and build healthy realationships with thier caregivers and peers. To secure our new Foster Home we need to raise money by April 1st.

With the hope of Art and Abolition securing this new foster home, she will be returning to volunteer and provide creative art therapy to the girls duirng their upcoming fall camp which (agian hopefully!) will be held this August along with Art and Abolition's staff and DMT colleague.  

Pitch: In this day of sky-rocketing mental illness, prescription drug abuse and overdose, a broken criminal justice system, and a presidential election characterized by divisive language and an emphasis on blaming others, it's nice to hear that modern neuroscience indicates that we use the power of neuroplasticity to cultivate and strengthen our overall wellbeing. 

Through years of study and rigorous mental training, guided by generous mentors and teachers, John Lykurgus Wade overcame alcholism, depression, severe PTSD, and 8 1/2 of incarceration, and now teaches Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), developed at Emory University and is now even taught at the Emory School of Medicine. In fact Research is currently being conducted at Emory and other universities to examine the benefits of CBCT for a variety of populations including medical students, nurses, cancer survivors, veterans with PTSD, HIV+ individuals, school children, and parents of autistic children.

In 2014, John and his wife Roxy reached out to Timothy Harrison, the Assistant Director of CBCT and Carol Beck, the Assistant Director of the Emory-Tibet Partnership (ETP) to learn more about CBCT and its ability to develop and cultivate well-being. Realizing compassion training’s (which includes “mindfulness") ability to foster prosocial mental states (including mental stability, resilience, gratitude, empathy, and compassion), John, and his wife Roxy, travelled from their home in the Hill Country of Central Texas to Atlanta Georgia to attend the Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) Foundation Course. Acceptance into the extensive CBCT Teacher Training program followed, led by Geshe Lobbing Tenzin Negi, PhD.

In 2015, John and Roxy, working with Timothy Harrison, and with the approval of Dr. Negi, led an initiative to bring Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) to an online platform, motivated by the wish to bring the program to a wider audience. And after months of research and experimentation, John and Roxy were given approval to launch the world’s first platform (Living Heart+Mind) to offer Online Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT). 

In her book, Landscapes of the Heart: the working world of a sex and relationship therapist, published April 7 2016, Juliet Grayson takes us through the doorway into the hidden world or a psychotherapy session.  She shakes our assumptions about how relationships work, and what to expect from our intimate partners, showing us different routes to more satisfying and loving intimacy, and giving us a grounded understanding of what makes relationships successful. 

These compelling stories give us privileged access to the therapy room, providing a vivid picture of the therapeutic process, which includes the therapist’s inner thoughts.  We sit on Juliet’s shoulder and witness her humanity and compassion, as she uses a rich blend of life-changing approaches, drawing on twenty-five years of clinical experience.  In each fascinating journey, we follow the client(s) through two or more sessions, covering weeks or months.  Thus we can track the effects of the insights her clients (five couples and one individual) have gained, as they progress to more loving relationships. In each case, Juliet shares a particular aspect of theory, so we can see the methodologies that underpin her work. 

A variety of methodologies

Juliet shows us a range of methods from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), emotional fusion, anger management, Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP), and introduces us to two of her new models: ‘The Pleaser,The Boss, The Loner and the Self-Developer’, and Five Star Conscious Relating.

The first book showing sessions of Pesso Boyden System Psychmotor Therapy in the UK

Juliet introduces us to PBSP: a potent methodology that is relatively unknown in the UK.  PBSP was established in USA in 1960’s, and is well known in Holland and many European countries.  She shows us how PBSP works in action, both in one-to-one sessions, and within a group.

This book is for the general public, anyone interested in relationships, for one-to-one therapists who want to learn about working with couples, for students of counselling and psychotherapy

This book will give helpful insights, tips and tools to anyone who wants to have a good relationship.  It will be fascinating for anyone thinking of attending a therapy session.  It is a must for students of counselling and psychotherapy. It is an invaluable resource for any therapist who wants to learn more about working with couples, and stands alongside Juliet’s six modular workshop on: How To Work With Couples: for therapists who usually work one-to-one.

What others say about the book

A powerful, compassionate & authoritative guide to the secrets of an exceptional sex and couples counsellor.  Juliet Grayson captures the essence of this mysterious, transformational process of working successfully with couples on their most painful and intimate issues.  It's an essential read for anyone who also want to enhance their own self awareness and emotional intelligence.

Judith Lowe, PPD Learning Ltd, NLP Training Institute

Beautifully written. A compelling and lively read, steeped in humanity and

compassion. I found her great many insights into the relatively new

A valuable book for anyone curious about this field of therapy.

Dr Michael Crowe, DM, FRCPsych

I am delighted to see Juliet publish the first book in the UK describing

the effectiveness of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor (PBSP)

in individual and group sessions. This continues Juliet’s passion:

to spread the message that PBSP is a transformative method that

supports people becoming more fully who they truly are and finding

greater meaning and pleasure in life.

Landscapes of the Heart can be read from several perspectives. Its easy to-

read style will inform struggling couples – as well as benefit couples

who want to improve a satisfactory relationship. Therapists (or anyone

interested in becoming a therapist) will learn about the systemic nature

of working with couples from the comprehensive client cases. And

there are powerful examples with explanations of how to use the Pesso

Boyden method in psychosexual work. This is an absorbing, practical

and beautifully written book we will recommend to many people.

I wrote an essay recently called Healing the Mother Wound that was published. Little did I know that baby would grow wings and fly all around the world. It went viral. I tapped into a universal vein that had mind blowing impact.  I received letters worldwide thanking me for writing that piece- a deep, personal window into rage, grief and healing.  A forgiveness that not many come to in life.

These letters in my inbox spilled out cathartic releases from people.  One woman said her tears had been locked up inside her, a dry- to- the- bone empty well that she had to live with, bury, hide. When she landed on my essay, she said a waterfall of tears poured out of her for the first time in years. A healing so deep penetrated the core of her anger and resentment toward her mother, and she found her way back 'home' to herself. Softened. Open. Fueled with compassion. 

This is the direct impact of sharing our stories. The hard ones. The ones that make me cringe to send out into the world, exposing my under belly to thousands of people.  The ripple effect that I witnessed is the very reason why I write, why I help writers' write, why writing the truth, being courageous enough to craft it out, is powerful beyond measure. 

Not only is the process of writing an alchemical unveiling, it has the ability to reveal yourself to yourself. A peeling of layers, an unearthing of personal truth has the capacity to reach deep inside another person and literally change their lives as it changes your life. 

I am a writing coach. I edit books and essays. I look beneathe the grammar and typos for the deeper story, the voice that wants to be speak and be heard, for the heart's pulse threading the words together like strands of pearls.  

There are many people with poignant stories they keep hidden in the darkest cavern of their memory, in fear of letting them out into the light of day, of being vulnerable, of hurting others.  Maya Angelou said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you."  The weight of it is exhausting and detrimental to the soul and peace of mind. To lay it down on paper and step by step, saying it out loud, the load of life lightens and we realize our grief, our shame, our wound is universal. What is also universal is resilience, the cultivation of wisdom that can come from our hurt, and the shared journey of being ever so bone and blood-filled human.
