I became fascinated by hypnotherapy, having discovered it through my struggle with a debilitating chronic illness that left me powerless and frustrated. I'd tried everything and had pretty much given up any hope of finding a ‘cure’ to being well again. I’d been running my award-winning Music & Culture PR agency with offices in London and Berlin, and was about to withdraw from the business as working was becoming impossible. Then I spoke to a friend who’d used hypnotherapy and NLP for her ME / CFS.

Until that point hypnotherapy, to me, was what people used if they had a phobia or wanted to stop smoking. I had no idea of the other immense capabilities and capacity it had for healing and recovering from illness, especially when my symptoms had felt so physical. But after just a few sessions I was fully transformed. Not only was I rid of all my symptoms, but everything in my life was enhanced.

Even before I’d become ill, I’d found myself crashing at weekends, never feeling restored after a full night’s sleep. I had food intolerances and had withdrawn from social situations. I ran negative thought patterns and didn’t have a positive dialogue going on inside myself.

Now I have so much energy. My sleep is amazing and my thinking is clear, simple and positive. Decision-making is easy. I get excited about all of the incredible things I have coming up and socially I feel easy, calm and relaxed. Life is fun again, really fun. I not only love myself but feel like I’ve got to know and understand the true me, in a whole new way. It’s like gaining a new friend in myself, but one that’s always there and always on my side.

This personal experience, along with my subsequent clinical training has given me incredible expertise and knowledge, which I now use to help others overcome their own issues. I love this work and am so passionate about it. I’m fascinated by what hypnotherapy can do and, in my eyes, the opportunities to make positive change with it are limitless.
