Workshops
If you drink to de-stress or to alleviate social shyness, or you are just plain worried about how much you drink, then this programme is for you. The Drink Less Mind workshop is an empowering day that re-educates your mind consciously and unconsciously to reduce your drinking. Most heavy drinking is a habit that can be un-learnt.
The Drink Less Mind workshop is a thought provoking and insightful look at why people drink too much alcohol. People from all walks of life attend who all have one thing in common. They are secretly worried about how much they drink.
This programme is not for alcoholics (although many alcoholics have said they think the programme is brilliant at helping them to cope without drinking at all). There is a big need in the market for people who recognise that their drinking sometimes interferes with their lives in negative ways such as: procrastination, stress, anxiety, low self esteem and depression.
We are a culture of drinkers, which I kindly support, however sometimes we use alcohol as an emotional crutch that leads us down the slippery slope of another drink to forget, to forgive, to give love and make love.
I believe that alcohol is the symptom not the cause of over drinking and that the desire to drink more than we would like to is an emotional habit. An emotional habit that can be unlearnt!
Over-drinking heralds low self worth, shyness, fear of sexual intimacy, social anxieties just to name a few to be the culprit to the secret reasons why we drink when we know it truly isn't helping our health and emotional well-being.
Social shyness and anxiety I believe is a major player when it comes to drinking too much, this includes people from all walks of life who simply don't believe they can relax enough without having 'that' drink. There are others who feel they are not intelligent enough or funny enough unless they have that drink. There also those who feel in order to be intimate they need a 'good luck' charm swig of whatever in the false belief that it will calm their nerves and of course it does and this is when it becomes an emotional habit.
The goal of the day workshop:
- To consciously and unconsciously educate your mind to connect with your emotions rather than transferring them straight to alcohol
- Stress management tools to help you cope better rather than using alcohol as your crutch
- To change your inner dialogue to be more positive
- Becoming more assertive
- Increase in natural self esteem without using alcohol as your confidence pill
- Encourage natural, deeper sleep
- Learning how to deal with difficult people and situations beyond your control
- To pace your drinking more slowly
- To drink more water before during and after you drink alcohol

The Drink Less Mind therapy has received some recent media coverage, see below:
Extract from Body & Soul, The Saturday Times, May 2008
(full article please see Media Coverage page)
"About 80 per cent of Foster's clients are women in their thirties and older, mainly high-flying professionals who have little time to relax and working mums for whom "me-time" means uncorking the pinot grigio as soon as the kids are in bed. Foster says the body quickly gets used to that extra glass, and before they know it may be downing a bottle or more a night. "I mainly deal with people who are not ruining their lives with alcohol but recognise that they drink more than they should, and they have got into a bit of a rut. Many people have got themselves into an automatic pattern of drinking, which is pure habit. They start drinking because of social shyness, or to de-stress and turn off from the difficulties they face daily, and that slowly creeps up because the more they do it the more the mind thinks it is normal. Foster helps people to unlearn these habits and establish healthier ones".

"Even for a self-confessed control freak, it's impossible not to drift away to Georgia's soothing voice as she gently re-programmes our minds to make healthier choices. After the last of the sessions, I am so relaxed that I sleep for 12 hours that night. In the days following the workshop, I leave two (boozy) dinner parties sober, having had less than a couple of glasses of wine without giving it much thought. I feel stronger, partly due to a new awareness of my personal triggers. The common sense tips from Georgia as well as the subliminal mantras such as 'I am dealing with life more healthily without over-drinking', are present in my mind. I enjoy the festive period without the roaring pain and paranoia associated with hangovers".
More dates to be announced soon.

Georgia Foster is an inspiring writer and therapist who walks her talk. The Weight Less Mind takes you on a highly emotive journey of Georgia's own struggle with binge eating and yo-yo dieting. Over the past 10 years Georgia has helped thousands of people move on from emotional eating, to lose weight successfully.
Weight problems are at epidemic proportions in Britain. Georgia believes food is the symptom not the cause of being overweight. We all know how to eat right and exercise more, so why are we not doing it? Perhaps the answer lies in the question. Why is it so hard to lose weight and maintain it?

Many people assume that having sex is a physical act. In fact, as Foster & Foster's workshop and new book will highlight, the difference between average sex and amazing sex is the presence of ultimately 4 different secrets - without one or more of these secrets, sex will likely be a truly unfulfilled experience - and it all begins in the mind. By understanding the 4 key secrets you will not only know how to really keep passion alive in a long-term relationship yet also dramatically boost your sexual self-esteem and confidence in ways that support you.

This book and workshop explains why stress is the number one emotional disease in the western world and how it is interpreted within you depends on one thing - how you think and feel about you!
Acknowledging stress can be difficult because we all like to think we are coping. Many people feel too embarrassed to admit that they are stressed because they feel they may lose their job or that people will see them as being weak or useless. Below are some of the thousands of symptoms of stress:
- Repetitive negative thoughts
- Self doubt Anxiety and fear
- Paranoia Low self esteem
- Insomnia or sleeping too much
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Wanting to retreat from the world
- Excessive drinking
- Excessive smoking
- Depression
- Suicidal thoughts

Finding your missing peace when you've lost the plot
Cost: $22.00 + $2.00 P&H
I believe low self worth is at epidemic proportions. Why should we feel like a second class citizen in life? Well you don't. I know exactly what it is like to have low self esteem. I suffered from it for over 16 years. I thought everybody was better than me, cleverer than me, slimmer than me, you name it! This CD is brilliant for changing negative inner dialogue to a more positive one. Just listen to this CD twice a day and you will notice that you are feeling more confident, more relaxed and more importantly you will be learning to like yourself.
$22.00 + $2.00 P&H
Insomnia is such a debilitating experience. The reason why people don't sleep is that their mind has trained itself to think that by staying awake they will resolve their problems. The irony of this is that the more you stay awake and worry the more tired you are the next day and then the problem is exacerbated because you are exhausted. Training your mind to sleep better will allow you to stop worrying about your past (which you cannot change) and trust in your future. Which means you will wake feeling able to cope with your life situations through a clearer and more optimistic mind.

How often do we get to relax? Very few of us do. This CD is a great way to have 'me' time. It is a lovely healing CD that allows your to drift into a space where you let go of the outside world and re-charge your batteries. A great way to start your day and/or a great way to go to sleep at night.

Hypnosis is the easiest and healthiest way to stop smoking. Many people say that they don't have the willpower to stop but actually the reason why people can't stop is simply that it has become a learnt behaviour. It is an unconscious habit. Associations such as drinking alcohol, coffee, stressful moments all trigger the desire to smoke. The Stop Smoking CD re-educates the mind to experience these moments without the desire to smoke, so you can be free to live your life without puffing away on a cigarette.
