Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers, real reassurance, and clarity you can trust.

Women often Google or ask AI things like:

“How does hypnotherapy work?”
“Will I be in control?”
“How many sessions will I need?”
“Is hypnosis safe?”
“Does hypnotherapy work for menopause / burnout / anxiety?”
“How much does hypnotherapy cost?”
“Can online hypnosis really work?”

So let’s make everything simple and clear.

What Issue Do You Want Help With?

I specialise in supporting women, especially corporate, high-achieving women, with:

Burnout
Stress & anxiety
Perimenopause & menopause symptoms
Emotional overwhelm
Nervous-system dysregulation
Brain fog
Confidence & identity loss
Sugar cravings & emotional eating
Sleep issues
Overthinking
Boundary-setting & people-pleasing

My clients are based in Brisbane, across Australia, in New Zealand, and internationally via online sessions.

How Many Session Will I Need?

Here’s a simple guide:

Burnout: 5 sessions
Perimenopause / MenoMind™: 8 sessions
Stress & Anxiety: 3–5 sessions
Weight Loss / Sugar Detox: 3–5 sessions

Most women feel noticeable improvement within the first 1–2 sessions, and deeper steadiness over the recommended programme.

If you’re unsure, your complimentary consultation will give you a personalised plan.

What Happens In A Session?

Every session is gentle, grounded, supportive and designed for busy, overwhelmed women.

A typical session includes:

A check-in on what’s been happening
Understanding what’s driving the emotional or physical symptoms
Nervous-system calming
Hypnotherapy tailored to what your mind and body need that day
Practical tools you can use between sessions
Space to breathe, feel safe, and reconnect with yourself

Clients often say:

“I feel calmer just being here.”

Is Hypnotherapy Online As Effective As In-Person?

Yes, in some cases, it’s even more effective.

Why?

Your nervous system relaxes more easily in your own environment
You’re not rushing to get to an appointment
You feel safe and comfortable in your space
Your brain responds the same way to auditory hypnosis
You can have sessions from anywhere (Brisbane, Australia-wide, NZ, or overseas)

Most clients prefer online sessions once they try them.

What are NLP processes and how do they help?

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) works with the patterns of thought and language that shape your experience. We use gentle techniques to help you reframe limiting beliefs, release emotional blocks, and create new, supportive patterns. It's like updating the software of your mind to work for you, not against you.

What’s the difference between hypnosis and NLP?

Both work with your subconscious mind, but in different ways. Hypnosis uses a relaxed, trance-like states to access your subconscious, while NLP works with language patterns (the words you use to shape your reality)and conscious awareness to create change. I often blend both approaches for the most effective transformation, tailored to what feels right for you.

Will I Be In Control All The Time?

Always.

Hypnosis is not mind control. It’s a relaxed, focused state where:

you hear everything
you’re fully aware
you can stop at any time
you cannot be made to say or do anything you don’t want to

You remain completely in control, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

It feels like a calm, heavy exhale… where everything finally quiets down.

What Does Hypnotherapy Feel Like?

Most women describe it as:

calm
peaceful
grounding
soothing
like a “mental reset”
like meditation, but deeper and easier

You may feel lighter, more settled, and clearer afterwards.

Do I Work With Trauma?

I work with stress, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and nervous-system overload.

If someone has:

active psychosis
bipolar with psychosis
schizophrenia
severe depression with suicidal ideation
borderline personality disorder
dissociative disorders
severe substance misuse
uncontrolled epilepsy

…I refer them to a specialist better suited to support them safely.

How Much Does It Cost?

2-Hour Breakthrough Session: $280
1-Hour Session: $180
5-Session Programme: $847
12-Session Programme: $2,497

Do You Offer Payment Plans

Yes.

Women shouldn’t feel financially overwhelmed while seeking help.

I offer weekly, fortnightly, and monthly options across most programmes.

Just mention it in your complimentary consult.

Will You Be Talking A Lot, Or Is It Mainly Hypnosis?

It’s a blend, but not heavy talk therapy.

We spend:

a few minutes exploring what’s happening
a few minutes calming your system
the rest in hypnosis or emotional re-regulation work

You get exactly what you need that day.

What If I Don't Know What Programme I Need?

That’s what the complimentary consultation is for.

I’ll help you:

understand what’s happening
map out what’s driving your symptoms
recommend the right number of sessions
answer any questions
walk away feeling clearer

No pressure.

No awkward sales pitch.

Just clarity.

What Is Your Cancellation Policy?

I ask for 24 hours’ notice where possible.

Life happens, especially for busy women juggling a lot.

If something urgent comes up, just let me know.

Is This Confidential?

Always.

Everything shared is private, safe and held with the utmost respect.

Your story matters, and it’s held with compassion, not judgement.

What If I've Tried Other Therapy And It Didn't Work?

That’s incredibly common.

Many women come to hypnotherapy because:

talking alone wasn’t enough
their nervous system still felt activated
they intellectually understood things but emotionally felt stuck
they wanted relief, not analysis

Hypnotherapy works at a deeper, nervous-system level, which is why many women finally feel change.

Do You Offer Support Between Sessions?

Yes, through Voxer I offer support to clients who are in my programmes.

This means if you’re having a tough moment…

You’re not alone.

You can send a voice note and receive support between sessions.

Do You Work With Women Outside of Brisbane?

Yes , I work with clients:

across Australia
across New Zealand
and internationally

Sessions are online and timezone-friendly.

Perimenopause & Menopause Support

Can hypnotherapy really help with perimenopause symptoms?

Absolutely!

Hypnotherapy is highly effective for supporting perimenopause symptoms including hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, brain fog, and anxiety. We work with both the physical and emotional aspects of hormonal transitions, helping your nervous system find balance and teaching your body new ways to respond to hormonal fluctuations.

I'm Not Sure I'm In Perimenopause - Can You Help?

Yes!

Whether you're experiencing unexplained mood changes, energy fluctuations, weight shifts, or just feeling "off," we can work together to restore balance. My approach addresses the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - regardless of where you are in your hormonal journey.

How Do You Approach Perimenopause Differently From Medical Treatments?

I work complementary to medical care, focusing on the emotional and psychological aspects of hormonal transitions. While doctors address the physical symptoms, I help you navigate the identity shifts, emotional changes, and life changes that often accompany menopause transitions. Many clients find this holistic approach creates deeper, more lasting relief.

What If My Doctor Says Symptoms Are Just Part Of Aging?

You don't have to accept suffering as inevitable. While hormonal changes are natural, the distress they cause doesn't have to be. My approach helps you work with your body's wisdom to find relief, balance, and renewed vitality during this sacred transition.

Weight & Body Relationship

How Is Your Approach To Weight Different From Dieting?

Instead of restriction and willpower, we focus on healing your relationship with food and your body. Using hypnotherapy and somatic techniques, we address the subconscious patterns, emotional triggers, and nervous system responses that drive eating behaviours. This creates sustainable change that feels natural, not forced.

What If I've Tried Everything And Nothing Has Worked?

Yes!

Emotional eating often stems from subconscious patterns and nervous system responses to stress. We gently rewire these automatic responses, help you reconnect with your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, and develop healthier ways to process emotions. The change feels organic, not restrictive.

Do You Provide Meal Plans Or Specific Diets?

No, I don't prescribe diets, meal plans or withdrawal of foods. Instead, I help you reconnect with your body's innate wisdom about what, when, and how much to eat. We focus on healing the relationship with food and trusting your body's natural intelligence. This approach is much more sustainable and honouring of your personal needs.
