, I'm Keira Smith, a depressed fitness instructor turned positive behavioural change hypnotherapist.

Before I did this job, I never knew there was a way to clear trauma and move past emotional blocks without talking about the past, like in traditional talk therapy.

Having lived through an abusive childhood, brain surgery that left me visually impaired, death of family members, and fertility issues, I was in an extremely dark place that I felt there was no escape. I used to dread each day, and struggled to cope with my job.

After desperately trying various methods to fix my problems, I discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. It was the only thing that truly helped me make lasting changes.

Since then, I've used my new understanding of the science of behavioural change to help others move past stress, anxiety, and negative habits, and achieve goals they were almost ready to give up on.

I'm passionate about showing people how they can transform their lives without constantly reliving past traumas or feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

Potential Topics:

It’s not your problems that are keeping you stuck: it’s stress that you may not even be aware of
Breaking free from negative patterns without dwelling on the past
Biggest myths of behaviour and life change
The underrepresented science of real behavioural change and why it matters
Practical steps to regain control if you’re struggling to cope at work

If your audience could benefit from any of those or related topics, I’d love to discuss speaking at your events, either online or in person.

The year 2023 is a significant milestone in cardiology, mainly due to the pioneering contributions of Klaus Peter Rentrop, MD. This year marks the 45th anniversary of his revolutionary development of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), introduced in 1978, which has become a cornerstone in the treatment of heart attacks. It also celebrates the 30th anniversary of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology, an organization that Rentrop helped found, significantly impacting the practice and study of cardiac care.

Rentrop, a native of Cologne, Germany, now a prominent figure in New York's medical community, has been instrumental in shaping the future of cardiology. His rigorous academic preparation, highlighted by a Cardiology Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic completed in 1973, laid a solid foundation for his innovative medical contributions.

Rentrop's early achievements include the introduction of PCI. This procedure fundamentally changed the approach to managing acute myocardial infarctions, significantly improving survival rates and quality of care for heart attack patients. In 1979, he expanded the scope of cardiac care by introducing thrombolytic therapy, which has become essential in the emergency treatment of heart attacks.

His scholarly work also led to the "Rentrop Collateral Classification" creation in 1985. This classification system, derived from his extensive research into the heart’s collateral circulation, has become invaluable in clinical settings and academic research worldwide.

Beyond acute cardiac interventions, Rentrop has contributed significantly to chronic cardiovascular care. He developed the 0.8mm Spectronetics Laser catheter, which facilitates the minimally invasive removal of atherosclerotic tissue, enhancing patient recovery and outcomes in cardiac procedures.

Furthermore, Rentrop introduced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to New York's medical community, a diagnostic tool that has revolutionized the management of chronic coronary artery disease. This technology allows for precise heart blood flow imaging, enabling more accurate assessments and better-informed treatment decisions.

Rentrop's dedication extends beyond his professional achievements to include significant philanthropic efforts. For seven years, he has donated $8.5 million from his patent royalties and his annual salary to help expand access to advanced cardiac PET technologies for underserved communities.

In his personal life, Rentrop is committed to activities that foster physical and intellectual health. He engages in meditative walking, swimming, chess, and reading, which provide relaxation and enrich his knowledge and well-being.

Through his groundbreaking medical work, philanthropic efforts, and personal dedication to lifelong learning, Peter Rentrop, MD, continues to influence the field of cardiology and inspire healthcare professionals and patients alike. His enduring legacy is reflected in improved outcomes for heart attack patients and advancements in cardiac care practices worldwide.

Klaus Peter Rentrop is a pioneering cardiologist whose work has had a transformative impact on treating heart disease. In 2023, two key milestones underscored his lasting contributions: the 45th anniversary of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which he first performed in 1978, and the 30th anniversary of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology, which he co-founded in 1993. These milestones reflect his significant role in shaping the landscape of modern cardiology.

Originally from Cologne, Germany, Dr. Klaus P. Rentrop now resides in New York, where he has built a distinguished career in cardiology. His medical education includes training at leading institutions in Germany and the United States, culminating in a Cardiology Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in 1973. This experience provided the foundation for his pioneering work in heart disease treatment and cardiac research.

Klaus Peter Rentrop MD’s career is defined by his introduction of PCI in 1978. This groundbreaking procedure, which uses a catheter to open blocked coronary arteries, revolutionized the treatment of heart attacks. PCI quickly became the gold standard for treating heart attacks, improving survival rates, and shortening patient recovery times. In 1979, he also contributed to the establishment of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, further enhancing the ability to treat heart attacks effectively in their early stages.

In 1985, Klaus P. Rentrop introduced the Rentrop Collateral Classification, a system designed to assess the collateral circulation in the heart. This classification has become essential in diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, allowing healthcare providers to evaluate blockage severity better and determine the most appropriate treatment strategies.

Beyond his work in acute care, Klaus Peter has significantly contributed to treating chronic cardiovascular conditions. He holds a patent for the 0.8mm Spectronetics Laser catheter, which removes plaque from coronary and peripheral arteries. Additionally, he introduced Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for cardiac imaging in the New York area. This diagnostic technology has become the standard for assessing coronary artery disease and guiding treatment decisions.

Klaus P. Rentrop is also dedicated to expanding access to advanced healthcare. He invested over $8.5 million from his patent royalties and seven-year salary to help bring cutting-edge cardiac care to underserved populations.

Klaus Peter Rentrop’s contributions to cardiology have saved lives and advanced the field. His work continues to inspire future cardiologists and improve patient care worldwide.
