About Gaynor Rosier

Gaynor Rosier is a Psychology graduate with post-graduate qualifications in Teaching, Social Work, Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP, Reiki Healing, Spiritual Healing, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Bereavement Support. She is also a Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner.
Gaynor has been using a trauma-informed approach for the past 30 years to help clients release and reframe painful experiences.Gaynor believes that there is no need to suffer when there’s a way to gently release and transform the pain of grief and trauma into personal growth. Instead of contracting and hiding from distressing emotions, Gaynor helps her clients develop calming skills and feel supported and safe to grow beyond their history.
Gaynor supports clients to practise self-soothing skills, so they feel safe to experience and integrate their emotions.Her mission is to help grievers understand that it is normal to experience a range of grief symptoms that affect the body, mind, and spirit. These symptoms are not a sign of weakness or anything to be ashamed of.
Grieving is a verb. The grief journey is an active process that requires goals, a plan, resources, and the company of like-minded individuals to make progress.You can develop insight, skills and resources to make the journey easier to plan and undertake.Gaynor brings together the latest discoveries in neuroscience, trauma-informed hypnotherapy, and mindful awareness to empower women who are experiencing trauma or grief.

Many people say that time heals. Gaynor knows that time conceals if the loss is not integrated, leading to symptoms of Prolonged Grief Disorder. Gaynor gently guides her clients to connect with the wisdom of their bodies to release trapped emotions through present-moment somatic focus so they can break unhelpful coping patterns and rediscover their natural strength and resilience.She creates a sacred space for mature, professional women around the globe to connect with their higher consciousness for ultimate guidance and wisdom. Those who join her tribe can access their innate resources through practices rooted in positive psychology, somatic work, and mindfulness with measurable results.
Community is a powerful catalyst for healing and growth as we find comfort in sharing our feelings and being heard. In her group program, Grief Relief Toolkit, Gaynor holds a compassionate presence for deep transformation to occur. Helping women transform their emotional pain into meaningful connection, inner wisdom, and embodied spirituality.
Through her charity, Mindset Vitality, Gaynor has created three local Bereavement Friendship Groups in South Wales. These grievers meet twice each month, face-to-face in a safe space where they can share their feelings and discuss coping strategies over a cuppa. 5% of all sales go toward supporting this charity’s work! As a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support for the past six years, Gaynor provides individual and group support, and answers calls to the National Helpline. She is a trained mental health first aider and (disaster) first responder. She supervises other bereavement volunteers.
Gaynor has experienced grief many times:
• Her grandparents died when she was in her teens. Gaynor’s maternal grandmother lived with the family when she had early-onset dementia. Her paternal grandfather also stayed with them during his illness with bone cancer.
• Gaynor’s parents died within a year of each other. Although in her 40s, this left her feeling like an orphan. Both were heavy smokers. Her father had lung cancer and it was very painful to watch his health deteriorate rapidly. Gaynor gave him pain relief and comfort with Reiki healing.
• Gaynor was supporting her widowed mother emotionally and practically when she died in her sleep from “pneumonia”. She only had a cold, and her sudden death came as a massive shock. She died of a broken heart (which is a proven syndrome) as she was very dependent on her life partner and gave up the will to live.
• Gaynor had already lost her older brother to suicide when she was 24. She volunteered to identify his body and attended the inquest to save her parents from that trauma. She supported them through their devastating mix of emotions over the following years. Her sister, who had Down’s syndrome and was blind, outlived their parents and died naturally in her 60s.
• Gaynor has also grieved for many beloved fur babies who gave her such wonderful companionship and unconditional love.
Gaynor loves animals and is passionate about protecting our environment. She has led volunteers in marine conservation underwater research surveys and cleanup activities. Scuba diving is her favourite way of relaxing and meditating in awe of the beauty of the natural world. She is a cancer survivor who made holistic lifestyle changes, inner child and mindset approaches, and self-hypnosis to heal her body, mind, and spirit.
