Change your love story, Change your reality

Trauma Therapy

Every human being deserves to feel loved, loveable, worthy of love and worthy of being loved.  It’s a natural and innate human need. The implications of not feeling loved, loveable, or enough may cause many dis-eases, self-harming habits, and emotional instability. 

Rediscover your sense of self to lead a meaningful life.  Alleviate and manage emotions, feelings, and illnesses or addictions that are derived from relational trauma and that keep you from living your life fully.

Here are some examples of where RTT® can powerfully change your life.

Trauma from childhood can vary from intense to subtle occurrences. Examples of intense events can be abuse (physical, sexual, emotional), the death of a parent/grandparent/sibling, divorce, domestic violence, and an absent father or mother figure.  Subtle examples of traumatic events can be that the child perceives the primary caregiver as not protecting them, loving them, or making them feel like they matter. Both types of childhood traumatic events have significant implications because children cannot fully express their needs. They will internalize these painful experiences and believe that something is wrong with them and it will always be this way.  This in turn impacts their lifespan.

Become free from these painful emotional events, revisit your way of thinking about these adverse experiences, and become the person you want to be.

Learn how childhood beliefs shape your adult reality and what you can do to change them.

Divorce and separation may unconsciously trigger any past hurts that we were not aware of.  Emotional pain from our childhood will determine how well we handle painful events.

If you are left feeling unworthy of love, unhappy, depressed, anxious, and alone then it may be residue from your childhood hurts. Internal conflict within the person may be present and this causes a lot of confusion and even more distress around this issue. 

Understand the root cause of a low sense of self and change your beliefs surrounding the relationship and its ending so that you can feel free to move forward and be even stronger and happier than before.

Emotional, physical, sexual and financial abuse strips away at the affected person’s dignity. Leading to weight issues, and even illnesses. Feelings of anxiety, depression, self-blame, self-doubt, shame, fear, disrespected and loneliness are common and create a lot of mental and physical instability.

Rebuild your sense of self-worth, self-respect, self-love, and independence and gain strength and beliefs for a loving relationship.

Children from blended families who have suffered emotional pain with feelings of guilt, not feeling accepted, hurt, anger, rejection, resentment, disappointment, insignificant, and unloved may find that this type of relational trauma has an impact throughout their lifespan affecting their relationships, work performance, and emotional wellbeing.

These adverse childhood experiences make the world appear unsafe and therefore the adult will be stuck in most areas of their lives.

Inner healing from past childhood traumatic experiences can improve communication and connection among your loved ones. 

Remember if you are linking pain and pleasure to someone or something then you cannot be fully open to that person or thing. Let’s investigate why you are not finding the connection you want.  You will find that when you can accept yourself fully then you will be able to accept your loved ones fully.

If the child does not develop a strong sense of self during childhood for whatever reason, in adolescence and young adulthood relationships may be challenging and cause emotional pain that keeps them going back to dysfunctional/toxic relationships.

This can be very damaging for teenagers or young adults who have formed their identity around a certain partner or friend that has blindsided or ghosted them and left them feeling shame, not enough, disappointment, different, and or no closure. They may turn to habits that cause harm to themselves or find themselves depressed and isolated.

Free yourself from past trauma and heal the wounds that keep you stuck and falling into patterns that no longer serve you.

Past trauma and or grief and loss can leave you feeling lonely, guilty, depressed, anxious, numb, angry, and hurt.  These feelings may persist and the underlying problem may not always be obvious to the individual. 

RTT® unblocks these thoughts and feelings that keep you from connecting so you can improve your relationship with yourself and others.

Health Therapy

A healthy subconscious mind = A healthy physical life

Scientific evidence has shown that your mind has the power to heal your body.  Hypnosis, and particularly RTT®, is powerfully effective at alleviating and or healing certain physical ailments or concerns by accessing the subconscious mind.

That is, hypnosis works to find the root cause of emotional pain or harmful beliefs of where, when, how, why, and what happened to have caused your dis-ease, illness, physical condition or addiction/s.  Many medical conditions are unexplained which makes diagnosing complex.  Not all physical conditions are associated with the mind, however, most are related in some way.

Below are some of the health issues and addictions that RTT® can alleviate or heal.

HARMONY Therapy

Reclaim Your Sense of Self After Childhood Trauma

If you feel disconnected from who you truly are, know that you’re not alone. Childhood trauma has a profound impact on your identity, shaping how you view yourself and interact with the world. These early experiences can cause you to lose sight of your own worth, dreams, and even your sense of belonging.

But healing is possible. By addressing the root cause of the trauma, we can work together to rediscover the confident, empowered person within you. Through proven therapeutic approaches, we’ll explore your past to create a healthier, more fulfilling present and future.

It’s time to break free from the chains of your past and reclaim your true self. Let’s take the first step toward healing—together.

What does it mean to be loved if you do not love yourself first?  Understanding what it means to love yourself and put yourself first is important.  Many people feel resentment and guilt towards their loved ones because they have occupied themselves in the process of fulfilling another person’s needs without leaving any time for themselves e.g., the mother role or the breadwinner role, or the caregiver role and so on.

Some people even go as far as neglecting their needs, so they do not upset others or to keep the peace by not expressing what they need e.g., not asking the boss for a raise in income or not wanting to create conflict with a spouse or a child or just not being authentic.  People pleasing behaviour is common in these instances and feelings of “if I don’t say yes then I run the risk of not being loved or being abandoned or losing my job”. Self-love always begs the question/s: “Am I putting myself first?“ and “Do I make time for myself?” or “Do I really want to do this?” or “Are my needs being met in this partnership?” and taking action to ensure that your needs and hearts desires are met.

Wire in, fire in beliefs of self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-assurance, self-acceptance, self-image, and self-love. Learn to be your own cheerleader and be resistant to rejection, imposter syndrome, procrastination, toxic relationships, depression, and anxiety.

Understand how to attract an abundance of love, connection, and heart desires in your life.

Many people confuse love for something else and are deeply disappointed when things do not work out.

Understand what being in a loving relationship is and what is needed.  Understand how to acquire the self-worth and self-love leading to attracting these partnerships.

Live a life full of love, support, connection, and care.

"Your body hears everything your mind says."

- Naomi Judd

RAPID Transformational Therapy®

Empower yourself for freedom, love, and an amazing transformation in your life.

What is RTT®?

RTT® is a multi-award-winning therapeutic approach founded by Marisa Peer that has been built on psychology, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and healing. RTT® is known to discard damaging beliefs and habits successfully, rapidly, and permanently by investigating with the individual how, where, and when they came to make these beliefs that live on in the subconscious mind.

How Does RTT® Work?

Once this is achieved then the person is guided to make sense of the attached interpretation to these experiences and resulting beliefs. By reframing these old beliefs with new beliefs, ensures that these old thought processes do not cause havoc in the individual’s life again. Thus, setting the person up for freedom, empowerment, love, and an amazing transformation in their lives.

How is RTT® Different?

RTT® works on the assumption that you know what is the root cause of your issue but the only problem is it is buried deep in your subconscious mind. RTT® is an accelerated form of therapy that gets to the root cause in your subconscious. Unlike traditional therapy that deals with the conscious mind, during RTT® we access the subconscious mind through hypnosis, find the root cause of that belief and change it to something better and beneficial to you.

By rapidly rewiring the brain’s neural pathways, RTT® replaces our out-dated belief systems and negative behavior patterns. New life-affirming beliefs are formed, and the transformational process begins. Online and in-person sessions are offered. Book your free call.

Start your journey now, and take control of how you want to live your life.

What Clients Are Saying

I approached Manuela because I was not getting the results I wanted from conventional psychotherapy and really needed to shift some long-entrenched beliefs about myself. I liked the fact that she is a trained psychologist, as well as trained in RTT.

I had an enormous fear of being alone and lonely, as well as some deep-seated beliefs about earning love and not being lovable. Our session addressed all these issues, and I have seen big shifts emotionally. I have been very diligent in listening to my audio every day, which has made all the difference. I appreciated the fact that Manuela was very generous with her time and I felt supported throughout

From the moment I reached out to Manuela at Serene Scenes Wellbeing, I felt at ease. She has been incredibly caring, understanding, and supportive throughout my journey of addressing mental challenges related to my relationship with food.

The hypnotherapy sessions have been invaluable, helping me uncover and address past experiences that shaped my beliefs about myself and my emotional connection to food. The audio sessions continue to reinforce these positive changes, working with my subconscious to break the habit of using food as a source of comfort.

After just over three months, I feel mentally stronger and more in control of my emotions. My mindset around food has transformed - I now see it as nourishment for my body rather than a crutch. While my journey to a healthy weight is ongoing, I feel lighter, more self-aware, and excited about the progress ahead.

I am truly grateful that my path crossed with Manuela’s. The experience has been life-changing, and the insights I’ve gained will stay with me forever.

I approached Manuela because I needed help with understanding why every night was a fight with my partner at the time. I chose Manuela because she has such a warmth about her.

Her presence is that of a loving mother, who will just patiently sit and listen, with no judgement. And I knew the space she will create for me, will give me an opportunity to really explore my problems with relationships once and for all. I never expected the session she had with me would so quickly help me find the man I had seen in my visualization.

I found the experience with Manuela to be so caring, kind and compassionate. I could just pour out my heart for hours, and she just got it. One thing I like about Manuela is her ability to make you feel like everything is going to be fine, because you have the power within yourself.

I would recommend Manuela not only for relationships. I also consulted her for self-esteem issues, being too scared to move along in my studies and with her phenomenal session I am opening my very own practice today. Her recording carries me through the tough times, and gives me the boost I need on a low day. I would recommend her to anyone. Manuela is an exceptional therapist and coach. I wish had known her sooner!

My RTT session with Manuela was the most effective and rewarding therapy I think there is, I could literally feel the change. Manuela is highly professional and warm and welcoming at the same time. I felt completely safe during the sessions and I am forever grateful for how this has helped me.

I contacted Manuela for help with a longstanding relationship issue, it’s an area that I’ve already done a lot of work on, but I still wasn’t making any progress. I’m a therapist and a bit picky about who I work with, but Manuela was a delight, taking the most extensive history and weaving all of the issues into one magical experience.

I knew instantly that a shift had been made, because that night I started looking at the situation from a new clearer perspective. Whilst not the primary presenting issue, I did mention my habit of comfort eating and it was briefly included during the session. To my amazement (and delight) I woke up the next day with no sugar addiction. I’ve effortlessly stopped snacking, sticking to 3 meals a day. That change alone is priceless.

My relationship issue isn’t a solved next day kind of thing, but I know it is on its way and am finding great comfort in listening to my recording once or twice a day. Thank you Manuela, for a fun and effective RTT experience.
Sarah
After my session with Manuela, I feel more confident, self-assured, and fearless. I have a better understanding of the way my mind works. With this new found power and boosted confidence, I can now easily overcome obstacles and handle difficult situations. Manuela is truly gifted at what she does!

My testimonial for Manuela Lopes...💖💖💖💖💖💖 Wow, so many thoughts and feelings from my time with you in both consultation and in the RTT session itself.

Firstly, I felt guided and supported throughout which enabled me to open up and be vulnerable which I can find quite difficult but right away you conveyed your empathy, your wise observations and advice which was so comforting and encouraging. Setting us up for a good session that was powerful and liberating. Having looked over so many scenes, behaviours and patterns that have been destructive in my life I felt wiped and drained but so very free. It was like a big weight had been let go once I released some old deep rooted beliefs.

I know I have to do the work now myself to wire in those changes from our session by listening to my recording but I already feel so much relief and inspiration and notice my shoulders are back and I am standing up taller. My confidence is growing as is my determination to succeed in life and business . I look forward to seeing how much better things get from here! Keep you posted and thank you so very much again. I highly recommend Manuela Lopes as an amazing therapist.
Angelika
Thank you Manuela for an amazing RTT session on money blocks. I felt so relaxed during the session and it was if the blocks just left my mind. I haven’t been worried about money since the session. I look forward to moving on with a stress free abundant life. I definitely recommend you to anyone needing help.

I reached out to Manuela because I was having money blocks that were holding me back. Knowing the power of RTT® I knew that my session would be amazing, but I didn’t know Manuela had a natural ability to make me feel so relaxed and safe instantly.

I also feel much lighter, and I don’t feel the fear of being broke lingering over me all the time! Just two days after the session I booked 5 speaking engagements! She is awesome! Highly recommend!!
Christina
Manuela provided us with valuable insights and deepened our understanding of each other. Through her guidance, my husband became more in touch with his emotions, and I gained a clearer awareness of how he truly feels.

Her approach has significantly improved our communication, enhanced our conflict resolution skills, and strengthened the bond between us. We now have a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another.

I approached Manuela because I read an article on how to solve diet problems with hypnosis. I wanted to be more healthy but I knew I had to make lifestyle changes.

First, I searched for a Psychologist/Hypnotherapist online and I found that Manuela was doing hypnosis virtually. After the hypnosis session, the audio I received helped me to overcome my diet problems. Changed my outlook on food and also empowered me to be in control to make good choices regarding food. I didn’t think it was possible to overcome emotional and impulsive eating but I managed it with the support and regular follow up sessions.

I can highly recommend Manuela as she is highly professional and she made me feel comfortable during each session.
