INTRODUCING:
QUARTERLY MASTERCLASSES

Following feedback on The Neuroscience of Stress and Wellness series, I am thrilled to introduce my quarterly masterclasses. These sessions will be 90 minutes and include the theory and latest research, followed by a practical session of meditation and Q&A.
Combining the neuroscience with practical tools, these sessions will equip you with tangible aids to catalyse awareness, relaxation and stress management.

Co-dependence
What is it and why is may be blocking your needs, creating resentment and keeping you stuck.
Co-dependance is on a spectrum and many of us have features of this dynamic play out in our lives. The line between inter-dependence and co-dependence may be blurred. You may feel guilty or selfish when prioritising yourself and may continuously be trying to live up to unrealistic expectations.
There are many definitions of codependency but essentially it refers to an imbalanced relationship pattern. When reviewing the literature, 4 main common threads emerge:
- External focusing
- Self-sacrifice
- Interpersonal conflict and control
- Emotional constraint (Dear et al. 2004)
So ask yourself:
Do you focus on others’ needs? Do you attempt to control or fix other people’s problems? Do you feel responsible for their emotional states? Does this behaviour result in high self sacrifice? Do you feel resentful? People pleasing? Do you absorb and mirror other people’s emotions? Can you only be happy if those around you are? Do you have trouble knowing what your needs are, let alone meeting them?
If any of these resonate, this masterclass is for you.
We will cover:
- The features of codependence
- Why it may play out in your life and relationships
- The impact it may have on your physical and mental health
- Bringing awareness to these patterns in a compassionate non judgmental way
- Deciding if it is serving you
- Creating a sustainable roadmap to rewire and cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself
- Practical meditation session (the style of meditation will be discussed after!)
- Live Q&A and opportunity for hot seat coaching with Dr Debar

Procrastination
Why is it protective and has nothing to do with laziness. Reframing the concept of self-sabotage.
New year. New you. Resolutions made, resolutions broken. New year. Same you.
Why the cycle?
Laziness? Poor discipline? No time? NO.
Let’s go deeper. Be nicer and more strategic. We need to feel our way first then take smaller steps into sustainable change. The process is more enjoyable if you leverage your neuroscience in achieving who you want to be, how you want to feel, think and behave.
Join me in this masterclass where we will:
- Dissect the concept of procrastination
- Unearth why you are protecting yourself
- Discover the underlying fears or motivations
- Consider the alternative
- Create and commit to small tiny actions
- Practical visualtion meditation
- Live Q&A and opportunity for hot seat coaching with Dr Debar

Brainwaves
The simplest way to change your state and create your life.
Our thoughts, feelings, level of awareness and degree of embodiment are influenced by our state. The latter is related to our brainwave pattern. So if we change our brainwave activity we can change our state and therefore access different levels of our subconscious. This can promote deeper states of relaxation, creativity, insight and much more!
Join me for this very practical masterclass where we will dive into:
- Different brainwave patterns
What state corresponds to each pattern - How you can leverage these states to intentionally create what you want, uncover blocks and experience insight
- Practice awareness of each of your states
- Meditation to change state
- Breathwork to change state (This will require a quiet space to lie down)

Resentments
How do we let go?
Resentment can be focussed inwards but is often focused externally and to do with a past event. It is a heavy deep energy that can result in anger, sadness, frustration, tension and inability to move on. The past then lives in the present and can affect relationships, suppresses positive emotions and most importantly keeps us stuck. Acceptance is challenging and the only person that truly suffers, both emotionally and physically, is you.
For this reason, bringing awareness and shining light on these resentments is imperative as it will lighten your load, free your mind and allow you to experience joy and gratitude again. It is not about dismissing or minimising rather truly accepting and forgiving yourself first before contemplating forgiving others.
If any of this resonates then this masterclass is for you. Through visualisation, meditation and journalling we will walk through:
- What resentments actually are and how they many manifest
- Their health impact
- The importance of considering loosening their grip on you
- List your current resentments
- How they have served you
- How they are affecting you
- The process of release
- Live Q&A and opportunity for hot seat coaching with Dr Debar
