“There was a time I couldn’t even sit at my own piano without feeling unwell…”
Modern technology seems to have taken over our world in the last twenty years, and we now find ourselves living amongst countless frequencies in the air.
Think back to years ago — “put the wireless on”… the radio, as many of our grandparents would say. Since then, signals sent through the airwaves have increased tremendously — far more than we even realise. Wi-Fi, mobile phones, Bluetooth, wireless connections, and now 5G have all become a completely normal part of everyday life… something we rarely question or even think about.
For most people, this is simply the way the world is.
But for some… it’s very different.
For some, these invisible frequencies can feel overwhelming, frightening, and at times completely debilitating.
This isn’t something new. It was first reported as far back as the 1940s, yet awareness is still limited. Some may dismiss it — “those waves can’t affect you”… but for some people, they absolutely can and do.
It’s important to remember… we are all electromagnetic beings.
We operate at a frequency.
Our thoughts emit a frequency.
Our emotions carry energy.
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt something wasn’t quite right… perhaps tension, or the aftermath of an argument, without seeing or hearing anything? That’s energy. We’ve all experienced it.

So… What Are the Symptoms?…
EHS affects people in very different ways. For some, the symptoms are subtle. For others, they can be intense and life-altering.
These may include:
- Tiredness
- Brain fog
- Aches and pains
- Sharp shooting pains
- Weak muscles
- Dizziness
- Feeling faint or fainting
- Heart palpitations
- Fast heartbeat
- Low mood
- Depression
When someone with EHS is exposed to electromagnetic frequencies, it can disrupt the natural balance of the body, leaving them feeling unwell, anxious, and often unable to function in everyday environments.
For me, it became overwhelming.
What started as sensitivity to mobile phones gradually progressed to electrical equipment — TVs, irons, Wi-Fi — even sitting at my own electronic keyboard whilst teaching became difficult.
It reached a point where I could no longer ignore it. I remember buying a brand new car… and just two days later, I nearly fainted at the wheel. The electronic systems within the car affected me so deeply, it was frightening.
At that time, life didn’t feel normal anymore.
Simple, everyday things became challenges.
And underneath it all… there was fear.

You can find more information about Electrical Sensitivity, also known as ‘Microwave Sickness’, on the Powerwatch Website.

The photo above can also be found in Mike England’s book ‘Miracles Happen with One Good Thought’. Mike shares my personal journey with Electrical Sensitivity and how he worked with me to create the positive changes that now allow me to live a normal life again.
Mike England quite simply changed my life.
I have so much gratitude for him — not only for helping me overcome EHS, but also for supporting me through my cancer journey. His work inspired me to train as a hypnotherapist myself, and it is now the foundation of the work I do with others today.
I am also very much looking forward to working with Mike again in the near future… watch this space!

Fear of Electricity…
This may sound unusual to some… but for the person experiencing it, it is very real. Fear plays a significant role in EHS.
As we know, when fear is present, it can grow. The subconscious mind stores every experience — especially those linked with strong emotion. And when fear is attached, it holds onto it even more.
Over time, the mind builds patterns. Like updating an app on your phone, the more information that’s added, the stronger and more automatic the response becomes.
This is what happens with thoughts, reactions and feelings around EHS. The mind continues to run the same “program”… often without us even realising.
⸻
The Good News… The Program Can Change…
When we change the program, the physical responses can begin to change too.
This may sound far-fetched to some… but I can only speak from my own experience. The process worked phenomenally for me.
Today, I live completely free from EHS symptoms. I use mobile phones, Wi-Fi, computers and electrical equipment every single day — something that once felt impossible.
⸻
So How Can Hypnotherapy Help?…
Hypnotherapy allows us to access the part of the mind where these patterns are stored — the subconscious – the part of our brain that runs these unwanted programs (please see Hypnotherapy and The Mind). When your subconscious mind has an idea logged away and you keep adding to it, it runs the program more powerfully creating a belief. When a belief or response has been repeated over time, it becomes automatic.
But just as patterns are created, they can also be changed.
Like most situations in life, people change and develop. As we grow older, we no longer require old habits and patterns that were initially beneficial to us. If we can change a habit, we can change a response. When we change the response, we change the experience. And when we change the experience, we begin to create a completely new way of being. When we change the experience, we log new information into our operating system – our subconscious – that’s when big changes can happen!
Stress begins with a thought (see Stress). So, if a thought can create a physical response… changing that thought can change the response too. That is exactly how I created change in my own life. Please see my Home page and About for further info.

Moving Forward…
If you are experiencing symptoms of EHS — or feel that something just isn’t right — please know you are not alone. I truly understand how frightening and limiting it can feel, because I have lived it. And I also know that change is possible.
If it worked for me, it could work for you too.
Every person’s journey is unique, but the foundation of change is often the same — understanding the mind and learning how to work with it, rather than against it.
When we change our perspective on something we no longer wish to experience… that something can begin to lose its power. And in time… it can become nothing.
I am more than happy to chat with you to help create change in your life and bring back some normality. I use my experience to create positive change for you. Allowing you to move forward, back into life — as the person you were always meant to be.
