Why I do this work.

At thirty (~6yrs ago), my physical body started to give up. I developed an unexplained pain which started in my feet, then spread to my legs, hands and arms. For almost a year I could barely walk a few hundred metres, I stopped working, eventually my mental health went south and I fell into a deep depression, isolating myself from friends and family. Finding comfort in alcohol, food, sleep and painkillers, I gained 30kgs and hated myself, and the world.

I had every test imaginable; parasites, lead, mould, nerve damage, autoimmune. I tried yoga, breathwork, steroid injections, acupuncture, CBD, psilocybin therapy, biofeedback machines, massage. Eventually a doctor said to me "some people just live with pain their whole lives" — well, that was horrifying news for me, how could anyone live like this? Like, I was technically alive, but I absolutely was not living.

Then, I booked in for an Emotional Healing Hypnosis session. I was put on a waitlist and coincidentally, by the time the session rolled around, I was already seeing improvements in my situation. I decided to keep the appointment anyway, and I'm so glad I did. I initially went in asking about the pain, where did it come from, why me (lots of blaming and no agency). Under hypnosis, we went back to a memory from when I was three years old — one my conscious mind had deleted. This event had shaped the subconscious beliefs I held around self worth, and essentially had me trapped in a state of shame, leading me to addictions: drinking, drugs, food etc.

I won't tell you one session cured my pain. It didn't, and you'll never hear me make claims like that. But it showed me the root cause of my shame, self doubt and unknown anxiety, and gave me the opportunity to take my power back, and choose to do everything in my power to heal. It was the eye opener I needed, the wake up call to remind me, no one is coming to save me (just myself, of course).

I was eventually diagnosed with a number of autoimmune conditions linked to stress — suppressed emotions and a lifestyle of drinking and party drugs are not a calm environment for the body to live in — which I have been able to manage, and have been symptom-free for over 5 years.

Today I'm almost two years sober from drugs and alcohol. My body is healthy and I'm genuinely in love with it. I don't weigh myself but am the healthiest I have ever been, love what I see in the mirror, prioritise movement and my overall wellbeing. I am so grateful for my feet for sending me this message which changed my life completely.

I trained in Emotional Healing Hypnosis because I truly believe I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't been given this opportunity to get to know myself better, and be empowered to heal. I know what's waiting on the other side and I want that for you too.

With love and autonomy
