The roofline area is the most exposed and vulnerable feature of any property. It is ravaged by all weathers and is susceptible to hazards such as blocked gutters which can cause timber fascias to rot quickly. There is, thank goodness, an answer to this problem in the form of a permanent cure. Not only will it alleviate the worry of expensive replacement of rotten timbers, but also eliminate the need for repainting every few years.

Are you ready for a change? H
ypnotherapy is an effective way in making changes about negative life patterns you probably want to leave behind you. It can improve lives and relieve a number of issues you may experience on a daily basis. With 2017 in sight, it is a perfect time to try to kick old habits: reduce cravings such as food and smoking, control anxiety and phobias and make us feel so much better about ourselves. In our 21st century hectic lives, it’s easy to forget to look after ourselves, putting ‘me’ way down on the list of priorities. Why neglect ourselves when it’s so easily addressed? Weight loss – a lot of people find fatty, junk food hard to give up, and as we grow up we learn bad habits. I can help you break these bad habits by teaching your mind to listen to your body, and eat when you’re hungry, and stop eating when you are full. Reduce your portion size, eat healthier and get excited about exercise. Hypnotherapy can help you reduce your cravings to a more manageable level.
HYPNOtherapy
x
Hypnotherapy is a type of complementary therapy that uses hypnosis, which is an altered state of consciousness and relaxation. This process helps direct imagination in such a way as to bring about intended alterations in sensations, perceptions, feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
Gastric banding – You can pay up to £7,000 for a gastric band procedure. Hypnotherapy for gastric band therapy is a valid alternative to help you lose weight safely and effectively. Gastric band hypnosis aims to convince your mind that you have has a gastric band fitted, which leads you to feel full much quicker and stops you from over eating, be the same as a surgical gastric band would do. Changing your eating habits and supported with the use of gastric band takes only a few sessions. This is a safe, risk free and cost effective alternative to traditional gastric band. Smoking cessation - trying to stop smoking on your own, but just can’t manage it? Whatever the reason for not being able to stop I can help you using hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is a great way to reduce and remove the craving, helping you to forget about smoking, which makes it much easier to give up. Just take one session to give up! Phobias and fears – Hypnotherapy is so successful in treating phobias because they live in our unconscious minds. Hypnotherapy can bypass the conscious mindand focus on retraining the unconsciousness, clients experience significant change very quickly, leaving them much better equipped to cope with life Low self-esteem – low self-esteem is not just lack of confidence but you can feel worthless and have a sense of failure. This can affect every area of your life. Hypnotherapy can all of that, which will give you the freedom to be more confident and excel in every part of your life. Panic attacks – we all get anxious from time to time, but when anxiety stars to happen more often, then its time to seek treatment. Anxiety can take over your life. A panic attack is a sudden surge of anxiety, which gives physical and mental sensations. Hypnotherapy is an effective method of overcoming panic attacks.

Denia this year...
a gem of a town in the Costa Blanca
Denia is a small coastal town on the Costa Blanca with a typically authentic Spanish feel. Rich in history, it boasts a thousand year old castle and well preserved ancient walls and bastions. The area has on average 320 sunny days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15 degrees, even in winter. The area is recognised by the World Health Authority as one of the healthiest areas in the world to live. Discover some 20 kilometres of golden sands; the beaches north of the harbour tend to be livelier, while the southern ones offer up peace and seclusion. Les Deveses and Les Marines – both within 15 minutes’ drive to the north of Denia, are Blue Flag winners, too. You’ll find sunbeds and parasols to rent, while the seafront promenade has a great selection of bars, cafés and restaurants. Recreation and Leisure Denia offers a variety of water sports, including: sailing, wind-surfing, diving, fishing, rowing, and swimming. For those who prefer land to sea, there is also an extensive range of activities to choose from: mountain climbing, hang-gliding, mountain biking and hiking.
Golf Denia has its own 18-hole golf club, located very close to the town. The Club La Sella was designed by the famous Spanish golfer, José Maria Olazabal. Further courses can be found at Oliva, Moriara, and Javea. Eating out There are many welcoming restaurants along the promenade facing the marina. The marina itself has a modern cosmopolitan area where you can dine overlooking the moored yachts bobbing in the water. The town comes alive in the evenings and has a few nightclubs to party the night away. Excursions It’s possible to take the ferry to Ibiza, Mallorca or Formentera directly from the port in Denia. Valencia is around an hour away, with Theme Park, ‘Terra Mitica’ also a short drive. Cuisine The local cuisine of Denia is typically that of the Costa Blanca, which combines delicacies from both

Many civilizations have lived in this area (Celts, Iberians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims), all of which have all left their mark on the gastronomy. The diet in Denia is a healthy Mediterranean one; the Costa Blanca is rich in fish, vegetables, olive-oil, rice and fruit and the ingredients which are all used to prepare delicious, healthy dishes, such as Paella Valenciana, Arroz Negro (black rice), Arroz al horno (Oven baked rice), Arroz a banda (fish and rice stew), Arroz del Señoret (Princes rice). Aside from seafood, typical dishes include succulent lamb chops, rabbit in garlic, roast leg of lamb with garlic and fresh rosemary, and home made sausages and black puddings.

Stork
Cinema, Royal Spa Centre
A long, long time ago, storks used to deliver babies. Those mischievous nippers made this tough, dangerous and sometimes humiliating work.
17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 26th December | 1.45pm • 24th December | 11.15am 21th & 27th December | 5.30pm Running times - 90 minutes So the storks were naturally delighted when times moved on and they found themselves delivering packages for giant internet retailer Cornerstore.com. But when top delivery stork Junior (Andy Samberg) accidentally switches on the baby-making machine, he produces an adorable little girl. With his orphan pal Tulip (Katie Crown), the only human on Stork Mountain, he sets about trying to deliver this unauthorised child to a family that never got the baby they asked for. Along the way, Tulip hopes she may find her parents too. From the studio behind ‘The Lego Movie’, this crazy, fast-paced fun-ride delivers plenty of laughs - as well as an uplifting message about the importance of family and friendship.
