If you want to learn The Switch but there are barriers to you attending the 4-day course, The Switch Webinar Series is a great solution for you!
It is a pre-recorded programme spread over six weeks to make learning more flexible, less intensive and significantly cheaper.
Each movie contains sections filmed in the studio with Mel Abbott speaking directly to you, in which you will learn many of The Switch concepts, while also seeing The Switch slides on your screen to support your learning.
Each movie also contains sections where Mel is teaching a live group of six participants who will be demonstrating all the group activities and techniques, discussing the issues they are dealing with and the progress they are making at the course.
These people were carefully selected to ensure that there will be someone (or several people) that you can personally relate to. There is an age range from 15 to 67, men and women, lots of different illnesses, and one person who had no illness and was there for life enhancement and performance instead.

Note: The Switch Webinar Series does not include The Switch topics about uncovering the underlying cause of your problem(s) and releasing past trauma using The Deep Switch.
You can join a Webinar cohort up till the end of Week 2. After that, you would be signing up to attend the next cohort the following month.
When The Switch® Webinar Series is a better choice:
You are too ill to attend 6-hour live sessions on consecutive days. The Switch Webinar Series is broken down into shorter sessions and spread over a longer time scale with flexibility about when to watch the modules.
You have no chronic illness and are seeking personal growth and life enhancement, so you don’t feel the need for a more intensive, supportive programme and don’t want to take days off work to attend.
If you can't afford The Switch programme, The Switch Webinar Series is a good option. Due to being mostly pre-recorded, it is less than half the price.
If you feel uncomfortable with group training courses, The Switch Webinar Series provides a self-directed approach to learning and growth.
If you have no trauma or you don't want to address trauma, The Switch Webinar Series does not cover any of the trauma topics or how to resolve trauma by using The Deep Switch. This is because it could be dangerous for people to work through deep trauma alone without a therapist, and it would be too vulnerable for the live participants to be filmed working through deep trauma.
While The Switch Webinar Series offers flexibility and lower costs, The Switch provides a more comprehensive approach to recovery with more support from Mel Abbott and more deep emotional work taking place. Being part of a supportive group environment can also provide inspiration and a sense of not being alone on your journey. If you have the financial means and the ability to attend, The Switch is the optimal choice.
What is Covered at The Switch® Webinar Series?
Are You Ready?
Week 1
During our first week together we will be building the foundations for your journey, making sure you are ready to recover, and that you have an overall understanding of the core principles of The Switch.
- Understand the science of mind-body interaction
- Discover the underlying cause of chronic illness and life blocks
- Reframe barriers to recovery and life enhancement
- Create a vision for your future
“I wanted to jump straight in and get started on recovery, but I had some barriers to recovery that I needed to sort out first. This module turned out to be very important to me ”
Your Body is AMAZING
Week 2
This week, we will focus on your body.
- Rebuild your faith in your body's healing ability
- Learn techniques to calm the stress response and activate natural healing
- Reprogramme neural pathways and behaviour patterns to assist healing
- First live Q&A group call with Mel Abbott
“I knew I’d been stressed for years and I knew I needed to stop it, but I didn’t know how. Suddenly, it all made sense. I haven’t felt this calm in years! I love it! And it feels so easy!”
Thoughts and Emotions are Powerful
Week 3
Whether you are here for recovery or life enhancement, learning how to take control of your thoughts and emotions can be life-changing!
- Move yourself more quickly into desirable thinking patterns and emotional states
- Learn the science of pain neurology and how to rewire your neural pain pathways
- Learn 'The Quick Switch' to reprogramme thoughts and emotions in a quick easy-to-use format, which you repeat regularly to get results
“I've always felt like a victim to my thoughts and emotions, like they were a runaway train that I had no control over. It's so liberating to know that I can now intervene and steer this train wherever I want to go! The Quick Switch is so easy to use and so effective!"
What You Believe, You Create
Week 4
Science shows that beliefs hugely influence reality.
- Use muscle testing to identify limiting beliefs
- Use 'The Belief Switch' to reprogramme faulty beliefs
- Bonus movie - The Sealed Section - dealing with adult only issues (discretion advised)
“That was mind-blowing really! I had no idea how much my life was being limited by beliefs I took on as a baby! I just thought everyone felt that way and it was normal. I didn't realise how much better my life would be with a better belief system running my subconscious choices and actions. Thanks Mel. This is genius!”
Spring-clean Your Lifestyle
Week 5
If you are living or working in a toxic environment, it's going to affect your well-being.
- Learn the 12 key components to the science of well-being
- Do 'Lifestyle Switches' to resolve areas of imbalance
“Lifestyle was the most powerful part of the course for me. Different parts resonate with different people, but for me I realised that all my health issues were linked to my work situation, and now I can see what I need to do to resolve this and to allow my health to come right.”
Moving Forward
Week 6
Learn how to take what you've learnt at The Switch and move forward in your life.
- Revisit your goals for moving forward
- Learn how to deal with challenging people and triggers in your environment
- Address any areas that you are still feeling unsure about by using 'The Switch'
“It was so interesting to finish this 6-week journey back where we started with our focus boards. It made me realise how far I've come already and how excited I now feel to get out there and achieve all my dreams. I feel ready now. I have the tools and I know I can have everything on that focus board. It's strange to think that only 6 weeks ago, it all felt so impossible.”

Their issues included:
Anxiety

Chronic fatigue syndrome
Long-COVID

It's OK if You Have a Different Issue
I have seen over 200 different conditions addressed with The Switch and could only select six people to demonstrate in this Webinar Series. You will be able to see how these people apply The Switch principles to a wide range of issues and you will be able to see how it then applies to your own situation. Plus there are live Q&A group calls with Mel Abbott so that you can ask specific questions about your condition.
