About Alan Jones
I have had the good fortune to enjoy several very different careers; A State Registered Nurse, BBC Journalist, and Clinical Hypnotherapist.
I present talks 8-10 times each month and enjoy meeting and speaking to members of clubs, societies and large organisations, and offer a wide range of topics.
Subject to availability, I am always happy to stand in if a scheduled speaker cancels at short notice.
