Robert Shields - Principal

 (Born May 14th, 1936 in the North East of England, U.K.).

Back to home page

Founder of  New Life’ Courses (Est. 1986) and The Robert Shields College he is a professional and experienced Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist (qualified in 1979) who has treated a wide range of psychological problems during the twenty one years he has been in practice.

A practitioner of various forms of Alternative Medicine, and other related subjects, he has also trained well over one hundred and fifty Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists as ethical and professional practitioners on his live courses before his retirement and has approximately 1,800 students and graduates from his distance learning course supplied through the Internet..  

Before retiring in 2001, he also was an active healer and medium and developed psychic mediums and spiritual healers through his courses where his motto has, and will always be, 'to do effective psychic work, you MUST keep your feet on the ground and avoid having your ego take over'.    

As a result there are hundreds of good psychics and healers in the United Kingdom who are working ethically and for the benefit of their clients, not themselves.

Subliminal Pioneer

He is the original pioneer in the use of subliminals (hidden beneficial messages that flash on a video screen so quickly that they are accepted by the unconscious mind without censorship.    Note - subliminals are illegal when used for advertising, but not when used for therapeutic purposes).    His idea, which was developed in 1983 and used in his pioneering Video Therapy Tapes (see below), has been copied by therapists all over the world on their audio and video tapes. 

Video Producer

In 1983 he produced three videos: ‘Coping With Stress’, ‘Videoslim (To Lose Weight)’ and ‘Stop Smoking’ which, unfortunately have reached their 'sell by dates'. His Lose Weight and Stop Smoking videos were translated into Dutch, Greek and Portuguese by those country’s leading Hypnotherapy organizations and his Coping With Stress video was and may still be, used by both medical and educational establishments throughout the country.  

The Stop Smoking tape was a top seller with a Los Angeles video business during 1987.     A large percentage of public libraries in the United Kingdom stocked his video tapes for many years and some still do.    

Alternative Medicine Magazine Editor

Robert was also the editor of the first ever magazine published on Alternative Medicine when he edited the first six issues of The Association of Natural Medicine’s in-house journal ‘Natural Medicine’. It was published as an A4 glossy magazine and had an original launch run of over two thousand copies. Many of the articles and features were written by Robert himself.

Course Tutor and Radio Presenter

He has run courses and workshops in Denmark and the United Kingdom since 1986 and was once invited to lecture in Moscow (sadly declined due to political climate at the time).

He has also appeared as a guest on a number of radio stations, including BBC Essex, BBC Kent, Southern Counties Radio, London's Liberty Radio, Radio Lotus (Copenhagen) and had his own show ‘An Hour of the Unexplained’ on cable Radio Basildon (unfortunately, now closed down).  

Television Personality

During the shooting of Anglia Television's 'Magic and Mystery Show', Robert, as a member of the audience, was recognized by the presenter Eamon Holmes, and asked to do an impromptu Past-Life Regression with a member of the audience as an extra to the shooting of the programme.  The Director and producer were so impressed, they decided to broadcast Robert's contribution and it was given star billing. As a result, he was invited back to do a second show.

He has also appeared on Harlech Television's 'Something Strange', again demonstrating Past-Life Regression and Carlton Television's magazine program 'Capital Woman' discussing his part in helping the police with their Yorkshire Ripper investigations. 

Accompanied by a past client who had her 15 year phobia removed in less than ten minutes, he also discussed his revolutionary Fear Elimination Therapy (see below for details) on cable television's 'Live TV'.

Sadly, due to a very traumatic marriage break-up, Robert stopped working for a number of years, but happily in 1995, he met and married his present wife, Nora.    As a result of his first marriage break-up, Robert lost site of his life's goal to help others and his work stopped for almost three years.    However, having met his now lovely wife Nora, his interest  in life was renewed and he has now resumed his life's commitment to helping as many people as possible to improve the quality of their lives through self-improvement and study.    

Note:  All towns, places, radio stations and television stations are in the United Kingdom (unless otherwise stated)

Nora Shields (nee Garcia) - Vice Principal

(Born in The Philippines on June 16th, 1960 in Villasis in the province of Pangasinan)

In order to support her parents and family, she left her beloved Philippines to work in Saudi Arabia and eventually moved to England.   This is where she met her husband Robert,  and now, eleven years later, both Nora and Robert are looking forward to a long and happy relationship, both as husband and wife and business partners..

During her early years, she was involved with healing in the Philippines and was known as the 'Eye Doctor'.    Many people from all over the Philippines would travel to see her for treatment with her 'magic water' to cure a wide range of eye complaints.   

Her techniques and knowledge were handed down by a very old healer she met whilst visiting a friend in the Northern Provinces (jungle region).  They hit it off so well that the old lady asked her to stay and she taught Nora all she knew about healing eye complaints.    Part of the process was to use pure water from a specially 'blessed and prepared'  bowl which, when used to clean the eyes, produced amazing cures.

During her time with the old lady, the village where they lived was visited by jungle terrorists and she was recruited into their Army against her will.    It was only after a daring escape was she able to rejoin her family in her own village in Pangasinan.

Robert jokes that the terrorists had a lucky escape:)

All her healing work was done for very little or no payment and the needs of her family had to be given priority with the result she had to give up her healing practice to earn enough to support her family.

We hope that, one day, she will reveal the secrets she learnt and put them in a course for those students interested in curing eye complaints.
