You're in the right place
When something isn’t shifting, even though you’re trying
A part of you already knows this isn’t working.
Maybe it shows up like this:
You react faster than you mean to and then replay it afterwards, wondering why it keeps happening? Or you hold everything together all day and can’t switch your mind off when it’s finally quiet.You might find yourself freezing, shutting down, or overthinking in moments that don’t seem to match what’s actually happening now?
Sometimes there’s a clear reason for this. A loss? Changes at home or work that haven’t quite settled? Living with ongoing pain or pressure on your system?
And sometimes it’s less obvious, but something underneath still hasn’t resolved.
That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It means a part of your system is staying activated
longer than it needs to. And once that happens, thinking your way out of it rarely works.
You don’t have to be at breaking point to start.
And you don’t have to be completely sure this will help. You just need to recognise that something isn’t shifting on its own.
At Heart & Head Space, we don’t just work with thoughts. We work with how your system responds —
so it can settle, reset, and start working with you instead of against you.
Start wherever it feels right.
Train your brain and body to settle together
HeartSpeak
A part of you has been trying to deal with things in the only way it knows how. Sometimes that works. And sometimes, something stays unresolved — not because you haven’t understood it, but because your system hasn’t fully processed it.
HeartSpeak is the primary method used at Heart & Head Space. It’s a simple, structured way of working with the connection between your thoughts, your body, and how your system stores and responds to experience.
Rather than analysing or revisiting everything in detail, we work with how your system is holding it now.
Why people come to this work
You might recognise:
• a part of you reacting more strongly than the situation seems to warrant
• patterns that repeat, even when you understand them
• a sense that something is still “sitting there”, despite previous work
• having tried approaches like counselling, CBT or EMDR without lasting change
How it works
HeartSpeak is aligned with how emotional processing actually happens.
When something hasn’t fully processed, a part of your system can stay activated or stuck.
This work helps your system:
• complete what didn’t finish at the time
• shift out of that activated or held state
• reduce the need for those patterns to keep repeating
No belief is required. And there is no need to go into detailed retelling unless it’s useful to do so.
What this can help with
HeartSpeak can be used to work with:
• current stress or specific situations
• ongoing patterns or habits
• long-standing emotional responses
• more complex or layered experiences over time
How this fits with the wider work
For some people, HeartSpeak on its own is enough. It's true that most clients opt to combine it with the body-based approach of the Full System Reset: using sound, vibration and targeted Vagus Nerve stimulation to help your wider system to settle.
What to expect
If you’re generally steady and want to resolve something specific, a small number of sessions may be enough. And if your system has been under pressure for a long time, it may take longer to work through.
We agree the pace together. Sometimes people arrive here after trying multiple approaches without the change they were hoping for. Not because those approaches were wrong — but because a part of the system was still holding on. It's different here. The toolbox is large and the approach is tailored to you specifically
Sound &
Frequency
Regulate your system at a sensory & neurological level
Sound & Frequency Therapy is a unique experience here at Heart & Head Space: a layered, clinically-informed approach designed to shift the nervous system out of stress states and into regulation.
Instead of working only through thoughts, this method works through the body, the auditory system, and the nervous system simultaneously. Each session combines multiple layered therapeutic inputs to create a deeper and more measurable effect.
1. Vibro-acoustic Mat
(Foundation Layer)
Continuous full body sensory input:
-
helps reduce hyper-arousal
-
settles muscular tension
-
creates a stable baseline for deeper work
2. Sonic Tuning
(Precision Layer)
Applied over & on the body with precision calibrated tuning forks to:
-
shift localised tension patterns
-
influence nervous system signalling
-
support emotional processing
3. Digital Frequencies
(at home Layer)
Tailored audio tracks, as part of treatment plans of 4+ sessions to:
-
reinforce session effects
-
target specific physical issues
-
entrain the full system
You can choose to add a further ''layer' by including acupuncture or acupressure targeting specific
auricular points linked to:+ vagus nerve stimulation + stress hormone regulation + emotional stabilisation
What this helps with:
-
stuck in stress or overwhelm
-
physically tense without clear cause
-
mentally busy but unable to switch off
-
emotionally reactive or flat
-
unable to access change through talking
Train your brain and body to settle together
Train your brain and body to settle together
Why this works
-
The nervous system responds to rhythm, vibration and frequency
-
40Hz (an example) is being studied for its effect on neurological function and inflammation
-
Auricular stimulation has evidence for reducing anxiety and improving regulation
Auricular Therapy
The optimum healing experience for many people is a combination of therapies. For you it might be to compliment HeartSpeak stress clearing with a blend of auricular (ear acupuncture or acupressure) therapy, supported by imagery audio or Sound & Frequency Healing. There is a huge weight of evidence (through global clinical trials) indicating that auricular stimulation can improve or resolve symptoms in a wide range of issues, from stress to sleep, mood, addictions and hot flushes.
With roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, ear or auricular therapy is currently causing much excitement in Western medicine, as more is understood about the role of the Vagus Nerve in regulating the nervous system. The ear is the only place on the body where the Vagus Nerve can be stimulated externally and so it really is the key to unlocking a calmer, more regulated nervous system. Wherever you are you can explore the benefits of auricular acupressure with AcuCalm, a unique service combining it with a huge therapeutic library of imagery audio.
