I’ve been running Access Bars classes for a while now, and one thing I’ve noticed as a facilitator is that some students, once certified, find it genuinely hard to find someone to swap sessions with. Life gets busy, colleagues are scattered, schedules don’t align. And it’s a shame – because these tools are so valuable, and so much of that value gets left unused.
We can run some sessions on ourselves, yes. We all know that when someone else is running a session on you, it works on a completely different level. There’s something that happens when you’re on the receiving end that you simply can’t replicate alone.
I was lucky enough to have a practitioner nearby when I first started, and we swapped sessions regularly for over a year. And I noticed something shifting. Life just became easier. Clearer. The overwhelm, the stress, the tension in my body and mind – it started to lift. Things I used to put off, I started doing. Situations started resolving in ways that felt almost effortless. More joy. More space.
What I also noticed is that when you receive sessions regularly yourself, something changes in how you talk about your work. You’re not just explaining Access Bars – you’re speaking from lived experience. That’s a completely different energy. And people feel it.
That’s why I started hosting Gifting & Receiving events for Access Consciousness practitioners in London – a space where we come together to swap Access Bars,Energetic Facelift, and Body Processes sessions with each other.
There is something special when practitioners come together not to work for clients, but to gift sessions to each other. And every time I host one, I ask myself: What can we change? And how much fun can we have? Turns out – quite a lot.
It’s a small, intimate gathering – just for practitioners.
This event is open to all certified Access Consciousness practitioners. All levels of experience are welcome – whether you’ve just completed your first certification or you’ve been practising for years.
We come together, we swap sessions, we look after each other. Simple as that.
The event runs from 10:30am to 3:30pm in a private, relaxed setting in near Norbury railway station, SW16, South London.
Here’s how the day flows:
When you arrive, we have hot drinks – tea, coffee – and a proper chat. We take time to get to know each other, which I genuinely love. Some of the best conversations happen in those first 30 minutes. And I don’t just mean polite small talk – I mean real conversations. With people who have the same vibe as you.
First swap. We pair up and do our first round of sessions – Access Bars, Energetic Facelift, or Body Processes, depending on what you and your partner choose.
Lunch break. Snacks are provided. We sit together, share how it’s going, swap stories. The kind of conversations you can have with fellow practitioners but not usually with clients – about sessions, about building a practice, about the experiences that come up in this work. It’s one of my favourite parts of the day.
Second swap. Another round after lunch.
By the end of the day, you’ll have gifted and received two full sessions – and you’ll leave feeling noticeably lighter, more relaxed, and with more space inside than when you arrived.
This event is for you if:
If you’re new to Access Consciousness and have questions about practice or sessions, I’m happy to help and guide you if needed.
Not yet certified? If you’d like to become an Access Bars practitioner, you can find out more about upcoming Access Bars classes in London here.
I genuinely believe it’s important for practitioners, of any modality, to regularly experience the sessions they offer to others. These sessions create space for new possibilities. We know this. We tell our clients. And yet, we’re often the last ones to receive.
Talking to Access colleagues, I hear the same thing again and again: it’s hard to find someone for a swap. Schedules, distance, just not knowing who else is out there. These events are my answer to that.
And here’s something worth mentioning – swapping with different practitioners means you’ll have a different session each time. Every person brings something different to how they work, and receiving from someone new can be surprisingly expansive.
There’s also the confidence that comes from practice. The more sessions you do, the more confident you become – in your touch, in your presence, in how you hold space. For newer practitioners especially, having someone experienced nearby who can gently guide finger placement or answer a question in the moment – that makes a real difference. Not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because confidence grows with practice.
The event takes place in a private residence in Norbury, SW16, South London.
The exact address is shared after registration.
Getting to Norbury railway station is easy:
Norbury station is a short walk from the venue.
£25 per person – to gift and receive sessions as part of the swap.
If you’d prefer to come and receive a session only, without swapping, sessions are available at £60 for an hour.
I run these regularly – both weekdays and weekends, depending on what works for the group.
Rather than listing fixed dates here, I keep these events intentionally small and personal. If you’re interested in joining a future one, send me a private message with your contact details and let me know whether weekdays or weekends generally work better for you.
I’ll be in touch when the next one is coming up.
If you’ve been meaning to get a session for yourself for a while now – and somehow it keeps not happening – this might be exactly what you were looking for.
You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment. You just need to show up, receive, and gift the same back to someone else.
And if you have the tools already – why not use them?
Send me a message if you’d like to join the next Access Bars Gifting & Receiving event in London. I’d love to have you there.
Who can attend the Gifting & Receiving event? The event is open to all certified Access Consciousness practitioners – Access Bars, Energetic Facelift, and Body Processes. All levels of experience are welcome, whether you’ve just completed your certification or you’ve been practising for years.
Do I need to bring anything? Just yourself. Hot drinks and snacks will be provided throughout the day. If you prefer a specific lunch, feel free to bring it with you. Please wear comfortable clothes, as you’ll be giving and receiving hands-on session.
What sessions will we be swapping? Access Bars, Access Energetic Facelift, and Access Body Processes. You and your swap partner choose what works best for both of you on the day.
What if I’m newly certified and feel nervous about practising? This is honestly one of the best spaces to practice. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, everyone here is a practitioner, and I’m present throughout the day. If you have any questions about finger placement, running a session, or anything about your practice, I’m happy to help and guide you. Confidence grows with practice – and this is exactly the kind of space where that happens naturally.
I haven’t swapped sessions with anyone since I certified. Is that okay? Completely fine – and you’re not alone in that. A lot of practitioners find it hard to find someone to swap with after they certify. That’s exactly why these events exist. You’ll be in good company.
Will the sessions feel different with different practitioners? Yes – and that’s one of the things I love most about these events. Every practitioner brings something different to how they work. Receiving from someone new can be a surprisingly different experience, even if it’s the same session you’ve had before.
Can I come just to receive a session without swapping? Yes. If you’d prefer to come and receive a session only, without participating in the swap, sessions are available at £60 for an hour.
Can we talk about our practice and business at the event? Absolutely – and it happens naturally. These events bring together people with the same vibe, and conversations about sessions, building a practice, and experiences that come up in this work are very much part of the day. It’s one of the things that makes these gatherings different from anything else.
Where exactly is the event located? The event is held in a private residence in Norbury, SW16, South London. The exact address is shared after registration. Norbury railway station is approximately 23 minutes from London Victoria and 33 minutes from London Bridge by train.
How much does it cost? £25 per person to participate in the swap. If you’d prefer to receive only, sessions are £60 for an hour.
How do I find out about upcoming dates? I run these events regularly on both weekdays and weekends. Send me a private message with your contact details and whether weekdays or weekends work better for you – I’ll let you know as soon as the next date is confirmed.
