This program isn't like anything you've ever tried before.

Group Coaching isn't like other forms of therapy:

• There's a transformative power being in a Safe Space and a small group with other people who "get" you - because they're going through the same thing.  
• In this group you'll be accepted, respected and appreciated for who you are. It'll feel like you've "come home". The strength you'll gain from the group coaching is life-changing: it'll  give you the courage to create the future you want.  
• With group coaching we go and change the way you think, feel and behave. This is not a quick fix, pill or a cream. It's a personal transformation.

Madeleine isn't like other therapists:

• She knows what you're going through, having suffered from Erythrophobia for 20+ years (now in her 50s, she cured herself in her 30s). 
• She doesn't just offer one approach - she offers a holistic body-brain solution that condenses her wide personal experience and training as a medical doctor, certified somatic coach, neuroscience practitioner, trauma-sensitive coach and teacher. All this bundled up into a program designed with care and understanding specifically for blushers. And delivered with sensitivity and love because Madeleine knows first hand what it's like "to be in hiding". 

We like the way Kristina says it:  

"I am 60 in June. I've struggled with blushing forever and I've tried all kinds of therapy - nothing worked. So when I signed up for this program it was like a last chance. I thought: if this doesn't work - then that's it! That's my life!  I'll just have to accept it.  

But something so very surprising happened. And I’m so grateful.  After the second session, I felt there was a bit of fear falling away. Until now, I’ve spent all my waking hours trying to hide my blushing, using lighting, scarves, whatever!

But at the second session I felt something shift. Something has become unlocked. I even managed to casually throw the fact that I blush into a conversation!"

Short answer: it depends.

Chances are you've been struggling with this for a few years, or even a life-time. And even though some people like Maeve have had truly transformational results, others like Sam have been more modest:  

Maeve from Ireland:

"Since doing the program, I feel as if blushing is in the past. As if I’ve closed that chapter in the book. It’s incredible when you think that I started blushing when I was 23 and I’m 46 next month! So that’s massive, absolutely massive!"

and

Sam from Liverpool:

"It’s not a case of being cured after 6 weeks – but since doing the program, my mindset has shifted to a more positive mind. And I’ve got tools, understanding and the validation that I can take on board and make progress with. Even if I stay exactly as I am at this moment, and don’t make any further progress, I’d still recommend the program”

The thing that sets this program apart from anything else out there is its holistic approach. As a trained medical doctor, somatic coach and neuroscience practitioner, self-cured blusher Madeleine has created a Framework that has the transformational power of group coaching at it's core - but includes so much more:

• Group Coaching: whether you join as with self-study or group coaching, you enter a supportive and supported community. It's not a self-help group or a support group (although it is incredibly supportive and helpful!) it's a coached group, facilitated by Madeleine with the structure, guidance and support to help you grow.
• Somatic Coaching and the body-brain connection: trained and mentored by the world's expert on body-brain embodiment Dr Amanda Blake, Madeleine coaches you through the whole-person approach that works to ultimately cure your blushing
• Neuroscience: Madeleine majored in Neuroscience as part of her medical degree and has since additionally trained as a Neuroscience of Change practitioner. This approach increases the effectiveness of the BlushBloom framework
• Trauma Sensitive: Blushing can be described as a traumatic pathway in the body-brain interface. Almost like a form of PSTD. As a trained trauma-informed coach, Madeleine incorporates these principles in her unique Framework.

We think Michaela from the Czech Republic says it best:

"I was worried my English would not be good, and that I would not understand. But I understand Madeleine's english very well. Some people in the group speak very quickly so I didn't catch everything. I think I missed about 20% but then I watched the recordings, pressed pause, slowed the speed, used google translator and wrote notes. It works very well. Madeleine and the group supported me. It wasn't a problem. I would recommend the program for anybody who has middle English". 

That's okay. This program is flexible. You can opt to join the live group coaching sessions or you can wait 48hrs for the recordings - or both!We just have 2 rules the live group coaching:

Rule 1: Arrive on time. Out of respect for your fellow participants and for the safe group coaching space.

Rule 2: Be ready to stay for the full 90 minutes (60 minute recorded session and +/- 30 min small group coaching and practice in breakout groups)

The connections you make with the other members are truly life-changing and experiencing group-coaching first hand has an energy and magic all of its own.

That said, the recordings are incredibly powerful.

Tina said it perfectly:

"Unfortunately I could not attend the live session and for some reason expected the recording to have less of an impact. How wrong I was! The connection to what was said in the sharing round was immediate and oh-so relatable. Thank you for this session! OMG It makes me so happy!"

And just because you miss one or two sessions - you can still join the next one!

Madeleine understands that you might be nervous about joining live group coaching sessions. She's been through it herself and is sensitive to your need for safety. She designed the program step-by-step with that in mind. 

• You won't need to put your camera on.
• There won't be an "ice-breaker" where you have to speak
• In fact, this is probably the only group setting where you will be 100% accepted for yourself, by people who can 100% relate. There's no better place to grow!

We love how Laura puts it: 

"I know it seems scary to join a random group where you don’t know anyone!. I was scared when I started because I thought there would be nobody like me. But I promise you – that’s the scariest it gets! Once you make that first step, it just gets easier and easier. It will open you up in so many ways"

Michaela was also nervous before the first session... here's what she said:

"The first meeting was a warm start for me. I liked that there wasn't the usual talking circle right away, but a step-by-step introduction. We  spoke about it afterwards with the others - and this step-by-step approach was very helpful for all of us because it wasn't "too much" in the beginning. I liked talking in pairs - it was easier for me to share and helped me feel good in the group". 

Candice said this:

"I remember being extremely anxious about joining the group. I have that social anxiety. I get anxious meeting new people, so it’s scary to be thrown into a group full of strangers and not knowing what to expect. And to be honest, I did get nervous speaking in front of everyone – but I still did it, and I came out a lot better because of it".

 And Tina said this:

"I would normally avoid being in a group at all costs! I was nervous for the first session and I didn’t know what to expect. I was worried there’d be some kind of ice-breaker and we’d all have to speak in turn. I’m glad that didn’t happen! Madeleine’s compassion, understanding and encouragement – and the fact that she knows what she’s talking about - really helped. It’s just such a relief to be open: it’s liberating! To have people listen to you – and not only listen to you (a therapist can do that) – but also validate you because they really “get it”. Madeleine’s been through it herself and the other people in the group are going through it too – and they’re all real, lovely people! And if they are, then I am too!"  

You'll have access to the recordings and materials on the Blush2Bloom portal for about a year, so there'll be plenty of time to complete the program.

By signing up, you'll also have life time self-study access to future Blush2Bloom 6-week programs for as long as Madeleine continues to run it, including all updates. This means that you can follow future programs - for free.
