About Lee Bladon

Hello, I’m Lee Bladon (pronounced blay-dun). I’m a holistic therapist, somatic psychotherapist, coach and author of two books on psychology and inner transformation, specialising in deep emotional healing, anxiety therapy and transpersonal therapy – but I didn’t start out this way…

My journey began back in 2000, when I had a successful career and what looked like the perfect life. Yet despite my outward success, my baseline level of happiness and fulfilment was only about 4 out of 10. I was plagued by chronic anxiety and a persistent feeling that there had to be more to life – but I had no idea what to do about it.

I spent the next decade reading everything I could find on psychology, spirituality, consciousness and philosophy – searching for meaning and a way through. I learnt a great deal during that period, but it didn’t really change who I was. Despite all that knowledge, I was still anxious and unfulfilled.

My Big Breakthrough: Going Within

Then one day, it dawned on me… If I wanted deep transformational change, I needed to go deeper into my consciousness, because I couldn’t think my way to enlightenment and wellbeing. I realised that had to get out of my head and feel down into my heart (where emotions live) and into my belly (where repressed emotions are buried), and that’s when the real changes began.

When I started feeling into my “stuff” instead of just thinking about it, it all started to unpack, heal and reintegrate. I began to feel whole, happy and fulfilled, instead of anxious, insecure and flat. I was transforming, and so was my life! My baseline level of happiness and fulfilment increased from 4/10 to 8/10, and my anxiety faded away as I worked through my stuff and discovered who I really was.

Psychology Meets Spirituality

Along the way I discovered something that would become the foundation of my work as a somatic therapist and transpersonal practitioner – that psychology and spirituality aren’t separate – they’re simply two dimensions of the same inner landscape.

Our psychological “stuff” – the limiting beliefs, emotional wounds and reactive patterns – is simply our consciousness in a contracted and conditioned state. When we work through that material somatically and feel our way through it rather than just thinking about it, something naturally opens up. Clients often find that the deeper the healing goes, the more they begin to experience a genuine sense of presence, clarity and connection that transcends intellectual understanding. This sits at the heart of everything I do as a holistic therapist.
