About Orassy ultimate Health
I have been working with the Orassy since 2009. What is offered at the Orassy cannot be found elsewhere. Founded in 2007, it is the brainchild of Professor Konstantin Pavlidis, scientist, world-reknowned therapist, and master in several of the ancient healing (wisdom) traditions. Through combining advanced scientific discoveries with complementary medicine and ancient wisdom traditions, Professor Pavlidis has created is a highly unique and advanced system for human health.
Working in conjunction with a range of experts, your pathway through the Orassy leaves no stone unturned. Using what we term Orassy Integrative Medicine, we work at the level of the root cause to illness. To this end, you will take part in a thorough assessment of your lifestyle and the psycho-emotional imbalances that may be creating and perpetuating ill health. Not only do we do this through a lengthy medical and lifestyle consultation, we also house a full suite of devices from the basic medical through to mid-quantum and full quantum technologies to fully decipher what is going on for you. We then work together with you to create a programme that addresses and rebalances these factors.
When to Come to See Us
We offer a wide range of approaches and services, to accommodate your specific needs. The wise city-dweller may already be aware of the harmful effects their environment may be having upon them, and wish to work to address and re-balance these negative effects before illness sets in. If this is you, then opting for our 8-step programme is considered the minimum required for anyone living in a city to establish and maintain good health. If you have a medical concern then a more in-depth approach is taken and you will have a medical consultation with Dr. Forbes to include routine medical testing and examination. If it is self-development and growth you are interested in, the Orassy offers the highest level of courses, workshops, classes and individual sessions, unparalleled in the UK.
What To Expect
Please book your session with the Orassy reception, stating your preference for either a consultation with Dr. Forbes, The Full Integrative Heath Analysis, or the 8 step programme (please see our website for details). Once an appointment is made you will be sent a questionnaire which we would ask you to return at least a week prior to the consultation. The initial consultation with Dr. Forbes is 1.5h. There is the option of including a full set of blood tests, which we would recommend to those seeking help for a medical condition if you had not had your blood taken within six weeks of the appointment. Otherwise please bring your latest blood results with you to the consultation. pH testing, urinalysis, blood pressure, smear tests and examination are also offered if needed. Once you have had the initial consultation, we will formulate a plan together as to whether you return for a follow-up with Dr. Forbes following an initial management plan (lifestyle and nutritional changes, emotional work, classes, supplements or remedies) or whether you are referred for further 'root cause' testing using one, some, or all of the devices with our device operator and therapist, and/or a consultation with our nutritional consultant for Live Blood Analysis. If you opt for the Full Integrative Health Analysis then the latter two sessions are automatically included
About the Therapies
Whilst I am no longer a registered Thrive! or Pure Hypnoanalysis practitioner, the insights and skills I gained through the trainings and as a practitioner have afforded me a vast depth of knowledge and experience in psychotherapy. This, combined with the skill set and experience I have since acquired in other therapeutic modalities enables deep and permanent change to occur for my clients.
Thrive!
An innovative and life-changing training programme in which trainees are guided through a process of self-insight and awareness acquisition, which lays the solid foundations needed for subsequent changes to take place. Trainees then go on to learn specific skill sets for managing their thoughts and emotions in a healthy, positive way. Most people don’t know how to think properly! They have never been taught. If you don’t know how to manage your thoughts effectively and in-so-doing creating exactly the life you want to lead, you will be very much in the dark when it comes to managing your emotions.
Pure Hypnoanalysis
Pure Hypnoanalysis deals with unconscious anxiety, particularly manifesting itself as social anxiety (the fear of being judged), which in turn can be responsible for a vast array of conditions. Any psychosomatic symptom, anxiety, phobia, depression, relationship issues, self—image and confidence issues, stammering, over-blushing, shy bladder/bowel, sexual problems including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation and weight issues can be as a result of unconscious anxiety.
As you can imagine, working on a cognitive (conscious/intellectual) level with such individuals would not produce the same results as homing in on the root cause and relieving it.
Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnosis is also known as Medical Hypnosis, Medical Hypnotherapy, Suggestion Therapy and Suggestion Hypnotherapy. It is a specialty that utilises hypnosis as a means of allowing suggestions that facilitate positive change to take hold in the subconscious part of the mind.
This is a great way to break simple habits and cycles or behaviour, as well as promoting behavioural change. Clinical hypnosis is particularly successful in helping with smoking cessation, weight loss, motivation, nail-biting, simple phobias, pregnancy, delivery and postnatal care, chronic pain, insomnia, and confidence issues.
Emotrance
Emotrance is a relatively new but unbelievably powerful and effective technique enabling people to manage their emotions in a healthy, positive, and pro-active manner. Many do not consider the impact that ‘stuck’ emotions might be having on both their psychological and physical wellbeing, but not knowing how to manage and release them effectively can be an underlying cause of countless ailments and personal problems. If we break the word ‘Emotion’ down into ‘E’ – ‘Motion’ it helps us to describe exactly what it is which is simply ‘Energy’(‘E’) in ‘Motion’ – it is a physical sensation! Have a try for yourself. Focus your attention onto something that is causing you concern at the moment- a problem- something that upsets you, worries you, or makes you angry… Really focus on it and let it build for a moment.
Then turn your attention to your body and you will notice that you can actually FEEL the effect of the issue that you’re thinking about IN your body somewhere. It could be anywhere- your chest or your tummy for example. So that feeling is simply trapped energy, which without the skills to diffuse it will remain and can often wreak havoc with the mind or the body. This really is a very useful tool to learn and I will often teach this at the end of a course of Changing Limiting Beliefs to those that want it, giving them a complete complement of both cognitive and emotional skills for life.
Vitali-Chi
An incredible new system that is based on the ancient healing system of acupuncture but without the needles. It is a passive, non-mechanical health circuit that realigns and rebalances the body's natural energy system. Essentially it resolves energy blockages within a person's system, by conducting the natural energy circuit in a healthy way restoring health. There is plenty of evidence to show how the body has an inherent electrical/energy system and that disruption and blockages within this system can lead to ill health. Vitali-chi not only works to move these blockages, but also uses remedies and a 'boost' function to dramatically enhance the results.
Nutrition
Nutrition is a cornerstone therapy in the practice of Integrative Medicine. Most are unaware of how their food and drink choices are negatively impacting on their health and wellbeing. Through making simple changes, you can make a big difference to the way that you look and feel! I have a particular interest in gut healing through the use of Nutrition. IBS, constipation, diarrhoea and inflammatory bowel disease can all be helped with the approach that I use. Remembering, of course, the impact that our emotions has on our guts!
Quantum reflex Analysis
This is a new and innovative approach that helps to identify the root emotional cause to a problem or condition using muscle testing (kinesiology). Using a specific methodology to include tracing your memories back in time to uncover traumatic events, as well as the use of affirmations and an energetic remedy, we can shift an unhelpful belief system that is held by the body that may be driving damaging behaviours or indeed physical dis-ease.

Testimonials
“I grew up in a very dysfunctional home. My childhood memories are not those of a loving home with warm gentle parents, laughter and encouragement. Home was the place where my childhood was stolen, my dreams shattered and my self-confidence trodden on. The end result was a very broken adult who went from one unhealthy relationship to another seeking someone to fix her. In the end it all became too much and so she decided life was no longer worth living. Fast-track many years later and I am now a mum, wife, friend and confidante. All the things I yearned for was finally mine… but yet I was still not entirely whole. I still had a past that I could not make sense of, memories that were fragmented and fears that I could not tell where they originated from. My past had to be confronted and old demons had to be vanquished. With an unwavering determination to rid myself once and for all of my past I decided to see Anna Forbes. I felt I would be able to trust her and she would be able to understand me and where I was coming from. The first session was extremely difficult. It took all the strength I had to get through the door. As the therapy began I became more and more afraid and at my fourth session memories of my terrible past all came flooding back. I was physically sick. I was in tears for days. I was remembering things that for years had been nothing but complete darkness. I wanted to stop then and there. This was all too much. Anna however, kept encouraging me. She never lost patience or pass judgement . She allowed me to see qualities that I never thought I possessed. I was for the first time seeing myself – not this abused child who later began to self-abuse – but this smart, beautiful, strong woman. Memories have now been brought to the core and instead of shoving them to the back of beyond I allow myself to remember and deal with them. My husband has mostly noticed the changes that I have undergone. We now have healthy arguments. Before I saw Anna I would go weeks without saying a word to my husband despite sharing a bed and being under the same roof. I would then be ok and it would be as though the past weeks had not occurred. Now I nip that in the bud. I have the arguments, deal with the issue and move on. I am now able to identify triggers. Those words, smells etc that bring back awful memories. I have learnt to talk a lot more and to accept that my past is simply that – my past. It no longer defines who I am and will not dictate the way I live the rest of my life. Anna, I will be eternally grateful to you. Thanks for seeing me and thanks for allowing me to step out from the shadows and embrace my reality.” Anon
'' Anna, thank you so much for helping me to change my life. After wondering for years what is wrong with me, why I’m feeling so helpless i decide it to give it a go for hypnotherapy. I googled hypnotherapy for anxiety and i found a website address for pure hypnoanalysis. One of the therapists there recommended to come and see you, and such a good choice! I felt a bit awkward at the beginning, but with your kindness and professional approach i managed to let it go and focus on my memories. It was a great journey, a bit hard sometimes, but the result is absolutely wonderful. I’m feeling light as a feather, is like all my worries flew away. I’m feeling so calm, serene and content with myself. Such a great feeling! Now, I’m looking forward to my future. I want to grab life with both of my hands! And I’m so chatty now! and HAPPY! God bless you!" Mihaela G(ex anxiety and social phobia sufferer)'
“I went to Anna with a 'problem', not expecting her to be able to help but as a last resort. It had been eating away at me for the best part of 4 years. My self esteem had hit rock bottom, I was getting no enjoyment from life and I really didn't know where else to turn. She was so kind, sympathetic and non-judgmental and made me feel comfortable and secure enough to talk about my deepest darkest feelings and memories. After 2 months of sessions, I can honestly say that she has cured me. I'm enjoying life again and am looking forward to the future and any challenges that lie ahead. Anna, I can't thank you enough. You've saved me! You're a star.” Anon
“I knew that there were underlying issues regarding my emotional eating and weight gain. The journey which I undertook was at times stressful and scary. Anna's personality and genuine warmth helped me feel at ease during those scary times. By the end I felt like she had become a close friend who helped me understand the root cause of my symptoms" Paul
