TESTIMONIALS
"What Stella offers isn’t just coaching. It’s cosmic recalibration. She doesn’t just guide you. She hands you the map back to yourself." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emma B
"I used to sit uncomfortably with things and let them fester rather than address them.
Not withdrawing like I used to has made such a difference.
It all feels so easy and comfortable with no awkward moments.
You truly have transformed my life and my previous grief now sits as gratitude for such beautiful memories I was able to recreate.
I will be eternally grateful that I had the privilege and opportunity to work with you 🙏🕊️🥰xxx" Jane A
"Dear Stella, I am honoured and grateful that you have ignited, guided, and witnessed my transformation.
I am keen to get back in my body… to unleash my self-expression, which has been greatly suppressed.
Thank you for all that you do — for me and for the world.🌿🌅" Joanne S

I'm glad you're here...
I’m Stella Dove,
founder of
Emotional Recalibration Therapy, specialising in
inner-child healing,
attachment repair,
and somatic hypnotherapy
in London & online.
Emotional Recalibration Therapy is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach combining clinical hypnosis, inner child healing, and somatic regulation to restore nervous system balance and resolve the emotional imprints of trauma.
I’ve spoken at the House of Lords and the European Parliament — but the most important thing I bring to this work isn’t credentials. It’s lived experience. I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of abuse, to walk an impossible road — when peace feels too far, and healing feels like it belongs to everyone else but you.
That voice that says, “It might work for others, but not for me. I’m too broken.”
I’ve heard it too. I’ve lived it.
Read What Is the Father Wound? which explores the lifelong imprint of the absent father - how early separation shapes attachment, trust, and identity — and how trauma-informed inner child healing helps mend the unseen fractures of love withheld.
What Is the Mother Wound? The mother wound forms when love is tied to performance, perfection, or silence.
It lives in the nervous system as guilt, people-pleasing, and mistrust of softness — the inherited belief that care must control to count.
You are not broken. You are becoming. You do not have to carry this alone.
My work is grounded in clinical study, developed through practice, and inspired not just through my own lived experience, but by the journeys of those I’ve been honoured to walk beside.
I have lived the long nights, the impossible choices, the silence after the breakdown. I know what it means to rebuild from nothing - to sit with shame, regret, and self-abandonment — and still choose to reignite the inner spark.

My Experience with Stella
After losing my child suddenly and unexpectedly, I was completely broken. I didn’t know how to live with the pain or where to even begin.
Finding Stella has changed my life. She has a rare gift. She’s intuitive, gentle, wise, and incredibly knowledgeable. She seems to understand exactly what I need, even when I can’t express it myself.
For the first time in years, my body has started to feel safe after experiencing deep trauma. I trust her with feelings that once felt too heavy to carry. Stella has been helping me not only hold my grief but also gently heal parts of myself that were hurt long before my loss.
Through our sessions, especially the hypnotherapy — I leave feeling a little lighter, a little stronger, and more able to carry my grief with compassion rather than fear. Guided by Stella, I’ve even begun to feel moments of joy and hope again, feelings I never thought would return.
I am deeply grateful for Stella. Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude for the way she has helped me find a sense of peace in the midst of heartbreak.
Thank you Stella, your care and guidance to those “light bulb moments” have truly changed my life 🖤🤍

Cosmic Recalibration
A week before I turned 50, I found myself in a quiet and very stylish room in central London with a woman I barely knew - her name is Stella Dove. And what happened next changed everything.
In just 48 hours, she helped me peel back the noise, the masks, the old trauma stories, and guided me back to the control centre of my mind. With her steady voice and deep knowing, she dropped me into hypnosis and handed me the keys.
What I found inside was wild:
My Audacious Dial.
And I turned it up.
All the way.
That night, I met my higher self for the first time.
She looked down at me and said,
“Babe. You rock.”
It was out-of-body, full-body, beyond-words.
And from that moment on, everything got bigger, bolder, brighter.
I stopped holding back. and I started taking up the space I’d been craving.
What Stella offers isn’t just coaching. It’s cosmic recalibration.
She doesn’t just guide you. She hands you the map back to yourself.
I’ll never forget it.
And I’ll never dial it down again.
Emma B
Absolute Game Changer
“My past is not an excuse anymore for not living my best life.
No one can save me. I saved myself.
Self-discovery can be lonely and uncomfortable, but it’s also liberating.
I’ve had the best year since I got clean.
I need to love myself first before I can love anyone else.
I’m learning to live bravely, without apology.”
Two years later, she reflected again:
“A lot has happened, but I’ve done it bravely and with class.
I’m sober, I adore myself, and I’m having a baby.
The 12 Steps helped me with my past, but the life coaching (Emotional Recalibration Therapy) was the absolute game changer for my self-esteem and self-belief.
I will always be grateful to you, Stella Dove, for that gift. ❤️”

🎥 Watch: Why Do People Come To See Me?

What Is A Medicine Woman?
✨In every culture, there have been women who walk between worlds.
Women who carry the remedies for both body and soul.
Women who listen with their whole being — not just to words, but to the tremble in your voice, the heaviness in your breath, the stories your body has been holding for years.
They are the ones who do not rush you.
Who do not “fix” you.
Who refuse to see you as broken.
Instead, they walk beside you while you remember who you really are.
The title Medicine Woman is often misunderstood in our modern world.
Some imagine a fringe figure, shrouded in mystery, far from reality.
But in truth, the Medicine Woman has always been part of the fabric of human life — a healer, a guide, a witness, a keeper of ancient ways adapted for the present.
A Medicine Woman may work with herbs and plant medicine.
She may work with hands-on healing, energy work, or breathwork.
She may guide you into altered states of consciousness for deep release.
She may sit in stillness with you, holding a silence that is anything but empty.
The tools vary. The essence does not.
Today, my medicine is Emotional Recalibration — a blend of trauma informed inner child healing using hypnotherapy and somatic integration. It is not “alternative” to medicine — it is complementary to life. It is a return to wholeness, layer by layer, by releasing the shade from your light until you shine in your full brilliance.
When you sit with me, you will never be told you are powerless.
You will never be rushed through your grief, your rage, your numbness, your remembering.I will not walk ahead of you, pulling you forward. I will not walk behind you, pushing you along.I will walk beside you, matching your pace, until the ground feels steady beneath your feet again.
In a society obsessed with quick fixes and “positive vibes only,” the Medicine Woman reminds you that your healing is not linear, not performative, and not for public approval. It is sacred work. It is yours.
If you have been longing for a space where your truth is safe, your emotions are welcome, and your story is honoured without judgement — this is the work.
✨ In my latest reflection, I share what it truly means to walk the Medicine Woman’s path in today’s world.
