*a notebook or journal

*Warm socks & a light blanket or covering for the final lying down sessions

Please note: I provide a thick roll of new carpet to lay under each person’s yoga mat. If lying on the floor is difficult for you, let me know as I can provide a deep reclining futon chair for you, or feel free to relax on the lounge.

1. You will receive a lovely take-away resource booklet with diagrams & information. This will serve as future reference. It provides you with helpful reminders on how to use hypnotherapy with yourself, for yourself.

2. One week before the session, I will send you an 18 minute hypnotic recording by email. Listening to this each night during the lead-up will prepare your mindset - for the experience of hypnosis.

3. Morning & afternoon breaks are scheduled. I provide a selection of black & herbal teas, along with both sweet and healthy savoury snacks.

   Please note however, that lunch is not provided. Please read the day’s schedule regarding the lunch options.

To Prepare: you are invited to focus on a problem you’d like to dissolve, or a goal you wish to achieve. Please communicate your intention with me privately via email or by phone when booking. I will keep your information strictly in confidence.  There’s no need to divulge any personal content with the group, but feel free to do so if you choose to share.

In this way, hypnotherapy is very different from traditional talking therapies. It works because the changes take place rapidly inside the nervous system. If no issues or goals in particular come to mind, that’s perfect! You’ll be free and open to accommodate new perspectives and gain valuable knowledge on how to maintain your health & well-being. 

As the day unfolds you’ll notice new insights emerging. I strongly encourage you to write them out by hand as they come to light.

One week before the session, I will send you an 18 minute hypnotic recording by email. Listening to this each night over the lead-up week will shift your mindset - to be ready for the experience of hypnosis.

10.30: Welcome with morning coffee or tea provided. We move into an introduction to hypnotherapy. (There’ll be GF snacks & oat milk alternatives).

Beginning with discussion on the function and attributes of the subconscious/unconscious mind, we then flow into a seated somatic relaxation.

The first session continues with exploring the nature of light trance.

12.45 - 1.30 lunch break - (45mins)

You may like to visit the Little Village Cafe (7 mins walk) up the road, or bring a packed lunch to enjoy in the park (5 mins walk) down the road . Otherwise both options are less than a minute’s drive. Please note that lunch is not provided.

1.30 - 3.00: Mid-afternoon session

Learning about the power of the mind, imagination and language, including practices on how to gain access to the unconscious mind.

I’ll then be guiding you into a relaxed hypnotic state to prepare you for embedding the desired changes you’ve chosen.

This is also your perfect opportunity to enhance your personal power if embarking on a creative project, personal development or a career/business venture.

3.25 - 3.45 Afternoon tea break - (20mins) We check in over refreshments and refine the individual wording of the desired changes you want to embed - used in the lying down hypnotherapy session. Wording can be discussed with me in private, or with the group if you choose to share.

3.45 – 4.45: Late afternoon session - The first lying-down Induction

This is accompanied with a beautiful sound track to assist in active imagination. You will be led into an experience of deep physical relaxation and meditation - creating the conditions needed for your unconscious mind to be receptive to your directions.

I will be guiding your unconscious mind to set it into action, undertaking the changes you want.

After a small pause to re-set, the Second lying-down Induction focuses on directions for boosting your immune system, rest & repair functions, deepening sleep, resolving anxiety, and implementing everything you’ve experienced over the day.

5.45 - 6.00: Finally for 15 minutes, bask the bliss and assimilate your your fresh, new perspectives.

Gently rouse yourself to become fully awake again as you step out renewed!

Over this full-day program, you’ll have learnt how to communicate effectively with your incredible unconscious mind.

You’ll have explored and experienced hypnotherapy personally, and be equipped with techniques to continue the ongoing practice of self-hypnosis.

Your conscious mind sets your goals, as your unconscious mind gets them!

So even as you read this, your unconscious mind will be getting curious.

In hypnosis you’ll become deeply physically relaxed, yet highly mentally focused and motivated on what you really and truly want for yourself. I will guide and support you every step of the way.

Despite the work being of a life-changing nature, it’s full of lightness, and often a bit of fun!
