Vanessa Raw is a British Triathlete and despite having fallen victim to more than her share of injury has been named a member of the British Olympic Triathlon academy squad.This means she is now officially recognised as a competitor capable of reaching the London Olympics in 2012.
All of Vanessa’s focus is on the Olympics in three years’ time. Vanessa said
“I’m into hypnotherapy at the moment and I get to visualise London already. The more I think about it, the more excited I get. I’m pretty fired up now. My plan is to win the event. I think it’s a reasonable expectation.”

Hi Vanessa, Great to see the good results you have been having. I have a question for you. What techniques do you use to relax after training and events? I specialize in reflexology, it’s something may wish to try.
