Dr Shyra Raj in her therapy room

Consultant Rheumatologist · Subconscious Healing Practitioner · Cheshire & online

Doctor-led mind-body healing, for when your body has been trying to tell you something.

When anxiety, pain or exhaustion persist despite doing everything right, the cause often sits beneath the surface. I bring over 25 years of medicine together with subconscious healing, to help you understand what your body has been carrying and gently change the patterns behind it.

A relaxed conversation on Zoom to explore whether this approach is right for you.

Signs you may be living in survival mode

Your body is not working against you. Symptoms are often the body's way of protecting you. Healing begins with understanding them and creating safety, rather than trying to fix something broken.
  • You look capable on the outside, yet feel anxious, wired or exhausted underneath.
  • You live with pain, fatigue or fibromyalgia-type symptoms that tests have not fully explained.
  • You put everyone else first and find it hard to rest, say no or ask for help.
  • You understand your patterns intellectually, but they keep returning.
  • You have tried medication, talking therapy or self-help and still feel stuck.

How this works

A gentle process that works at the level of the subconscious

Each session focuses on one specific issue. Many people find that one to three sessions are enough to create meaningful change, though deeper patterns can take longer.

Uncover the root

In a calm, guided state we identify the experiences and beliefs that first shaped the pattern you are living with today.

Reframe and release

We work with those early meanings so your mind and body no longer need to hold on to them for protection.

Integrate the change

A personalised hypnosis audio, follow-up calls and aftercare help the new way of feeling settle into everyday life.

Dr Shyra Raj, Consultant Rheumatologist

Meet Dr Shyra

A doctor, and a fellow traveller on the healing path

I qualified as a doctor in 1999 and have spent most of my career as a Consultant Rheumatologist, caring for people with chronic pain, autoimmune conditions and long-term illness. Again and again I saw how closely stress, past experiences and the nervous system were woven into physical symptoms.

My own journey through trauma and recovery taught me the same lesson from the inside. It led me to train in Rapid Transformational Therapy®, other subconscious healing approaches and women's empowerment coaching, so I could offer the deeper, whole-person care I wished more people could access.

Warmest wishes, Dr Shyra
