Wow it always feels a bit surreal the first few times I acknowledge the turning of a new year. A fresh start, a clean slate, and a brand new year for a brand new you.......... all of the New Year related messages I am sure you have heard, seen or even said yourself by the time you are reading this. Although, we don’t need a new year to make changes, to start our fresh journeys or to change our direction and this is all within your own power at any point in any year and the sooner you start believing you really will start seeing. If you are making any new year’s resolutions this year let this be one, to have the power to believe and imagine (image in) your wishes, wants and desires into reality. I was reading an article over the Christmas period which was explaining the 5 ways in which we can easily apply the law of attraction to our lives and I wanted to share these 5 points with you: 1. You become what you think about most, but you also attract what you think about most. 2. Your thoughts cause your feelings.3. Begin to talk about what you want with others and enrol them in your dream, your desire, and your want. 4. Remember "I am... 5. Take inspired action that aligns you with what you want. In short you are what you think, believe, speak about and you are what you believe you are. So start taking steps to realise your dreams......... remember always the late great Wayne Dyer’s most powerful quotation “tell me a man’s thoughts today and I will show you his future tomorrow”. If anyone reading this needs help or guidance in understanding how to manifest this notion into your own lives I invite you to book in a 1-2-1 with me, I am always on hand whether it be via face time, email or in one of our studios to discuss. I was once again overwhelmed well and truly by the amount of gifts, cards and well wishes I not only received personally but that the team’s received in all of our locations, as you can see from the pictures below our tree was once again bulging. As tradition goes, we gave all gifts to our teams on the last day of work ensuring all had a little something to take away as a thank you from our clients. I know I say this every year but thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, your generosity and kindness is just amazing and your words of thanks just mean the world to all of us. Thank you thank you thank you. www.lucindaellery-hairloss.co.uk and www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com

CHEMO – JACQUI BELTRAO’S STORY ‘Being diagnosed with cancer is cruel in so many ways, but for me the worst thing about the treatment for my breast cancer was the thought that I would lose my hair. It seems vain but it’s true – for me as a TV presenter it was the very worst thing. I coped fine with my mastectomy, it was reconstructed on the spot and within a few weeks I was totally on the mend. But I have to admit chemotherapy terrified me. The thought of looking really sick, sick enough to be pitied in the street because I’d lost my hair, was something I did not want to go through. The on – off nature of a wig was depressing and the image of me lying down beside my husband at night with a bald head, filled me with dread - not to mention how it might affect my children. What I wanted was a permanent head of hair to see me through to the day when my own hair had grown back to what it was – and in my mind that’s a time frame of about a year or more. After chemo number 2 I had already developed quite a few thin patches especially near the front and was relying on my sunglasses as a headband to cover up the baldness. Then I found out about the Lucinda Ellery Consultancy and their revolutionary Intralace System which was exactly what I was looking for. I had my Intralace System fitted at the Edinburgh Studio in April 2014. When I arrived it was with short sorry thinning hair, when I left I felt a million dollars with a thick head of long blonde hair that swished around my shoulders. It was gorgeous and I can’t begin to explain the lift it gave me and instead of feeling defeated by this cancer treatment I felt empowered’ Jacqui used our Intralace System throughout her chemotherapy treatment and during that time she lost 80% of her own natural hair. Like many other clients Jacqui was relieved that the changes to her own hair were not visible because she was using the Intralace System. In February 2015 she had the system removed as her own natural hair had completely regrown underneath the Intralace System.

FRONTAL FIBROSING ALOPECIA – JENNY NAGLE’S STORY Having hair again reminds me of when I first tried on a pair of spectacles. In that initial moment the shock of seeing everything so clearly only highlighted what I have been missing. My own hair loss from Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia was fairly gradual and I chose to ignore it in the weird belief that it would somehow rectify itself. It was only when a few members of my family began to tease me about it that I allowed myself to become fully conscious of my new reality. Then I tried most of the treatments known to man, there was even a period when I managed to convince myself that they were helping, My condition worsened, I tried combing what hair I had left over my receding hair line in the mistaken belief that it looked alright. My family no longer demanded that I stand at the front of the line for family photos and I became a background figure both mentally and physically. Despite the fact that this was not a physically life threatening problem I never realised that my psyche was dying, disappearing into a reclusive grey depression. My ‘Ahha’ moment came for me when I read an article by Sara Vine who had been to Lucinda Ellery for a treatment for thinning hair and was ecstatic about her results. With much encouragement from my family and friends I went and, as soon as Chris put the Natural hair line parting on my head I remembered who I was, I almost cried. There I was, me, the real me. I have had my new hair for months now and I love it. I have regained most of my self-esteem and I am constantly surprised that I had never noticed the detrimental effect my negative feelings had had on my relationships with my husband, children, grandchildren and friends, actually, everyone, but now I’m trying to improve relationships becoming involved in events and be in the front of photographs. Instead of clothes that would help me disappear I have a new smart wardrobe that shouts ‘Hey look at me, look at my great hair.’     Jenny before the application of The Intralace System Jenny wearing the Intralace System   www.lucindaellery-hairloss.co.uk and www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com
