THE GENTLE RELEASE®
Release what is still holding you back. Move forward differently.
You can understand why you feel the way you do and still find yourself repeating the same emotional responses, patterns or looping behaviours. The Gentle Release® was created to help you work with what is still sitting underneath those patterns, without endlessly analysing, explaining or reliving the past.
You may know what the problem is. That doesn’t always mean it has shifted.
You may know where a response came from. You may have talked about it before. You may even have done a great deal of personal development work already.
And yet something can still get triggered, repeated or carried forward. That is the space The Gentle Release® was created to work with. The Gentle Release® is a structured approach designed to help people move beyond emotional weight, limiting beliefs and repeated responses that no longer serve them.
The aim is not to erase your experiences or pretend they did not happen. It is to reduce the emotional charge attached to them so that the past does not have to keep influencing what happens next.

WHAT IS THE GENTLE RELEASE®?
Sometimes you already know the story. What needs to change is the relationship you have with it.
The Gentle Release® is a structured process developed to help reduce the emotional charge attached to past experiences, limiting beliefs and repeated emotional responses.
Rather than requiring someone to repeatedly revisit every detail of an experience, the process works with how that experience is still being held and represented now. Sometimes you already know the story. What you need is help changing the relationship you have with it.
The Gentle Release® brings together our experience of coaching, NLP-based approaches and emotional release work to create a practical, structured way of helping people move forward without endlessly analysing or reliving the past.
FOR COACHES
When a client brings more than a goal.
A coaching conversation can begin with a goal, a decision or a behaviour. Then something deeper appears. An emotional response. An old experience. A belief that is clearly affecting what is happening now.
For many coaches, that is the moment the questions start: Can I work with this? Am I going too far? Is this now therapy?
The Gentle Release® Practitioner Programme was developed to help coaches recognise that boundary, understand what is happening and use a structured process appropriately within their professional practice.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
What changes when the emotional weight starts to lift.
Everyone’s experience of The Gentle Release® is different, but clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer and less emotionally pulled back into the same old responses.
“I felt fantastic, I felt at peace and it made me realise and evaluate my relationship with the 3 people that I had in mind. I felt as though I was not carrying a burden with me any longer and I am looking forward to working with Sandy on a technique called The Gentle Release. This was worth the fee that I paid.”

1:1 Client
Since working on my anxiety with Sandy, I’ve been doing really well. I even went on my first night out for a work colleague’s birthday after six years — I felt apprehensive but not overly anxious. I also slept better than I had in ages that night. Sandy, you should bottle what you do and sell it — you’d make a fortune. I’m excited to keep using the strategies I want to use, not ones I feel I have to. Thanks again.

MEET AMANDA & SANDY
Built from experience. Developed for real conversations.
Amanda and Sandy developed The Gentle Release® from years of coaching, training and working with people who understood what was happening intellectually, but still found themselves carrying the emotional impact of the past.
Sandy brings decades of coaching, NLP, practitioner and training experience. Amanda brings her own coaching and practitioner background, alongside a very real understanding of what it means to keep moving forward while still carrying things that have not fully shifted.
Together, we created The Gentle Release® to be practical, structured and gentle. Not another way to endlessly analyse the problem, but a process designed to help people begin changing their relationship with what has been holding them back.
