Our Founder
Catherine Raincock BSc (Hons)
Clinical Hypnotherapist · Founder, The LIFE Method
Catherine Raincock has worked with the subconscious mind for over a decade. Her early practice was broad, supporting high-functioning men, women, and children in resolving the behavioural and physiological patterns that chronic stress and early experience leave behind. She trained under world-renowned therapist and author Marisa Peer and established life coach Michelle Zelli, before qualifying as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.
Over time, something specific began to emerge. Women who came to her with fertility challenges, women who had done everything medicine offered, were conceiving. The success rates were difficult to ignore, and they pointed to something the fertility industry was systematically missing: the subconscious and nervous system patterns that determine whether the body feels safe enough to sustain new life.
Catherine narrowed her practice entirely to fertility. She had identified a root cause that no clinic was examining, and she had the methodology to address it. Influenced by the work of Dr Gabor Maté on childhood experience and chronic illness, Bessel van der Kolk on somatic trauma storage, and developments in stress physiology and psychoneuroimmunology, she refined an approach that bridges subconscious patterning, nervous system regulation, and reproductive function.
The result of this decade of refinement is The LIFE Method, the only structured, integrated framework in existence that applies the science of childhood trauma and subconscious reprogramming directly to fertility. With a 75% success rate across all clients, including those post-multiple failed IVF cycles, it is not a complementary add-on to medicine, it is the foundation that medicine has been missing.

Founder & Creator of The LIFE Method, the culmination of over a decade working exclusively in fertility.
"This work exists at the intersection of subconscious science, stress physiology, and reproductive biology, and it took a decade to refine. There is no methodology like this because nobody else has built it."
Catherine’s Approach
Catherine's work is not positioned in opposition to medicine, it is the regulatory foundation that strengthens it. She works with women who are already embedded in private medical care, who have seen the consultants who sense that something deeper remains unaddressed.
Her methodology examines how chronic stress, subconscious threat responses, environmental load, and physiological depletion intersect to influence reproductive signalling. It does not treat fertility as a hormonal problem to be managed, it treats it as a systemic state to be understood and corrected at the level of cause.
The Body
The body does not conceive in a state of threat. Before the reproductive system can function optimally, the nervous system must register safety, not intellectually, but somatically.
The Root
The root is almost always subconscious. What happened before the age of five is frequently still governing the body's reproductive response today.
Conscious
Mechanism matters, every client deserves to understand precisely why the work is being done and exactly how it functions biologically. Intelligent women make better use of the work they understand.
Whole System
Fertility is a whole system approach. Mind, body, and environment must be addressed simultaneously because treating one without the others is precisely what has not been working.
“With The LIFE Method, we don’t just address what shows up in symptoms but what is shaping it.”
-
L
Locate the Root
We map the precise subconscious beliefs, inherited narratives, and physiological patterns governing your fertility response.
-
I
Interrupt the Pattern
Using advanced subconscious reprogramming, we neutralise the threat signals your nervous system has been running on autopilot. The body cannot conceive under chronic sympathetic activation.
-
F
Fortify the Conditions
We build the hormonal, emotional, and relational environment that conception requires. The actual internal conditions of safety and readiness that no scan can measure.
-
E
Embody the Outcome
Your nervous system must experience the identity of mother before the body will commit to creating one. We embed this somatically, removing the final layer of unconscious resistance.
The Team
Isabella Surpless BA · BSc
MSc Specialist Fertility Nutritionist & Functional Health Practitioner
Isabella brings over two decades of academic and clinical experience to nutritional therapy and functional health. Originally trained in History at the University of Bristol and Global History at the London School of Economics, she later completed a BSc in Nutritional Therapy, transitioning from the humanities into applied nutritional science with rigorous clinical grounding.
Her early personal experience of complex health challenges led her to question conventional models of care and pursue a deeper understanding of the relationship between nutrition, physiology, and long-term wellbeing. That curiosity became a lifelong clinical commitment to evidence-informed, systems-based practice.
Isabella specialises in the often-overlooked drivers of chronic dysfunction, digestive integrity, microbiome balance, inflammatory load, and micronutrient depletion. Her work integrates biochemical individuality with precise, sustainable intervention, grounded in scientific literacy and ongoing clinical supervision.
Within The LIFE Method, Isabella oversees the physiological optimisation component, ensuring each client's nutritional and metabolic landscape is fully aligned to support reproductive health at its foundation. She interprets every client's HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) results and designs the bespoke biochemical protocol that runs in parallel with Catherine's subconscious and nervous system work.
Alongside her clinical practice, Isabella lectures and supervises nutritional medicine, supporting the next generation of practitioners in bridging academic research with applied patient care.

Lucy Johnson
Advisory Council · Psychotherapist & Founder of Lovebrook & Green
Lucy Johnson holds an MA in Psychotherapy and brings over two decades of experience spanning environmental entrepreneurship, clinical practice and behaviour change. She began her career as a television journalist, covering environment, foreign affairs and politics before retraining as a psychotherapist. She founded one of the UK’s first conscious lifestyle platforms, Green Salon, helping clients rebalance their lives with nature. Out of this grew Lovebrook & Green, the world’s first ethical department store, stocking fashion, beauty, home and garden and gifting brands, firmly rooted in ethics and the principles of nature. In her clinical practice, Lucy specialises in anxiety and trauma, using eco-therapy to support the nervous system’s response to unresolved emotions. The breath of her training and experience as a clinician, entrepreneur and journalist makes her one of the most incisive minds on the council.
