My Story

I lost count of how many times I tried to change my life, only to end up right back where I started. Every fresh start seemed to spiral into the same old patterns, leaving me exhausted, frustrated, and wondering why sheer willpower was never enough to break the cycle.

If you have ever felt that quiet, heavy despair of trying so hard only to feel stuck, there is a reason we get trapped here.

We try to solve deep emotional struggles with logic and determination. But logic isn’t running the show. Up to 95% of our reactions, choices, and fears are driven by the subconscious—the hidden archive of our early imprints and conditioned beliefs. When we try to force change using only conscious effort, our minds fight back. It drags us back to what is familiar because, to our nervous system, the familiar feels safe—even when it hurts.

Real, lasting movement only happens when we address those patterns where they actually live: in the subconscious mind.

That realization shifted everything for me. It led me to Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®). Trained directly by its founder, Marisa Peer, I finally found what I had been searching for—a fast, precise, and grounded way to reach the root of human struggle. Today, I watch clients break free from heavy, lifelong limitations in just one to three sessions, shifting from just getting through the day to truly living.

My desire to understand human suffering started early. At fourteen, I began my path as a nurse. But working with patients, I quickly saw that so much of our physical pain begins far deeper than the body.

That insight sparked a decades-long journey. I earned university degrees in sociology and social work, trained in psychology, traveled to India in the 1990s to immerse myself in yoga, and studied across the globe to understand how we hold stress, trauma, and resilience.

Yet, across all those years, I kept searching for an approach that cuts straight to the root of our pain while fully honoring our individuality. None of us process struggle or healing in the exact same way. What wounds one person barely touches another, which means true transformation can never be a one-size-fits-all formula.

RTT® honors each person's unique story. It allows us to pinpoint your specific subconscious blocks, clear them at the source, and rewrite the underlying script—practically, safely, and permanently.

If you are ready to stop repeating the past, I am here to walk that path with you.

RTT with Erika's guidance has helped me overcome feeling listless about life, family and work. After only one week I felt lighter and happier. The change was subtle at first. Now after three weeks the mental and emotional shift is noticeable. I'm not carrying the world on my shoulders. Challenges don't seem so overbearing. I'm able to focus more intently, be kinder to myself and feel excited about the future. Thank you, Erika, for this beautiful gift!

My childhood anxieties which still have an effect on my late adult life prompted me to partake in the RTT and Hypnosis with Erika.
She immediately recognised where I was stuck. During the mild hypnosis Erika guided me to relive my experiences and her sharp intuition and discretion brought instant changes to my old patterns.
Followed by listening to the supportive and personalised tape for the following 28 days, I noticed a change in my wellbeing regarding increased inner strength, better sleep and a decline in anxiety. My family and friends too noticed a positive difference in my level of confidence.
Erika thank you for your help and professional approach throughout the sessions. I highly recommend Erika Lenses LEEL Therapy !
