About Maxine Bryce
I help people from all walks of life release fear, self-doubt, internal conflict, lack of trust, anxiety, and lack of confidence.
I empower my clients with the tools to helal and I inspire and support them to live life fully and authentically, in health and happiness.
From the tender age of five, my first career in dance introduced me to the fluttering butterflies of ballet exams, a sensation that morphed into crippling anxiety as I faced auditions. Despite the nausea that plagued me at the mere thought of an audition, I achieved notable success, working with top choreographers and gracing stages and television screens across the globe. Yet, the accolades and applause did little to quell the turmoil within.
Life took dramatic turns that forced me to reassess everything. I lost all my possessions in a fire aboard a Caribbean cruise ship and later faced a life-threatening situation in Iraq in 1982. These harrowing experiences made me determined to make my life count, convinced that my survival meant I was destined for something greater.
The most transformative ordeal came when I was held hostage in a foreign country. Guarded daily by men with automatic weapons, I endured months of fear for my life. Despite living in what once felt like a 5-star dream, I suddenly found myself negotiating for survival. At just 21, I secured our release after four grueling months. The emotional toll was immense, leaving me with a pervasive fear of loss, having endured so much uncertainty and insecurity.
These experiences drove me to discover a new way of being, one that was alien to the life of constant fear I had known. My journey into personal development began as I uncovered and transformed the unconscious internal strategies that had held me back. The profound changes I experienced fueled my desire to help others.
Today, I am a Master Practitioner in three different branches of NLP, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Trainer, and an mBIT Master Coach. For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself to helping thousands transform their lives by overcoming stress, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, fear, lack of trust, burnout, and more.
I am passionate about helping you break down the barriers that prevent you from living a life filled with love, purpose, and joy. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.My first career was in dance. From the age of 5 Ballet exams gave me butterflies which later evolved into agaonising anxiety over auditions. Simply the thought of going to an audition made me want to throw up – no matter what I tried I couldn’t relax. Even though I was consistently successful, working for top choreographers on stages and television around the world – the evidence of success didn’t change how I felt inside!
After losing everything I owned in a fire on a Caribbean Cruise ship and another life-threatening experience in Iraq in 1982 I decided to make my life count. I had survived for a reason, I just didn’t know what it was!
The horrific experience of being held hostage in a foreign country, guarded by men with automatic weapons and fearing for my life every day for months, caused me to dig deep within myself to find my strength. Imagine having everything … 5-star luxury – treated like royalty – and then overnight, having everything stripped away! I was chosen as the negotiator and after four long months I finally got us released to return home – All this by the tender age of 21!
The over-riding emotion that I carried from these events was a deep fear of loss. I lost so much, so many times that I never felt safe or secure. There was never certainty or security in my past. I lived in constant fear of losing everything again. Life had shown me that it couldn’t be trusted.
To create what I wanted I had to find a new way of being. One that I had never known. This led me to my journey in personal development. I learned that I’d been running specific unconscious internal strategies that stopped me from being how I wanted to be when it mattered most.
I was so grateful to be able to transform those old patterns and so happy with the positive results of those changes that I decided to become a practitioner and help others. I went on to become a Master Practitioner in 3 different branches of NLP. I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) trainer and an mBIT Master Coach.
For more than 20 years, I've helped thousands of people, just like you, transform Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Self-Doubt, Fear, Lack of Trust, Burnout and other deblitating issues. I would love to help you discover and dissolve the barriers to living the life you truly love.
Maxine Bryce
Being part of a team including Olympic Coaches in the corporate sector gave me vital performance tools and many senior executives were referred to me because of my ability to understand their powerful mental and emotional challenges.
After moving from London to the countryside, my life changed dramatically. I traded my stilettos for trainers, acquired a Cocker Spaniel and an addiction to competing in agility with her!
One of my agility friends knew I helped people with performance anxiety and recommended me to a dressage rider who needed help with competition nerves – and she’s now on Team GB. It mushroomed through referrals and I’m loving this too!
