Limbic Brain
In hypnosis we activate the part of the brain in control of our automatic responses (the Limbic brain) — it's intuitive, emotional, visual and instinctual. It speaks in images, symbols and sensation. This part of the brain processes information in a non-linear way — more like everything, everywhere all at once.
This is a different processing centre to the neo-cortex — at the front of brain — which governs language, logic, sequence, and analytics. This area of the brain is most active when you're conscious and going about your day, repeating thought and speech patterns, day to day routines, and calculating situations with strategy based on what's been successful/kept you safe in the past.
​​​
The operational differences of these processing centres is why it's often difficult to talk your way into feeling better, or why you can understand certain situations logically, but still have strong automatic emotional/physical reactions – they're entirely different processing centres of the brain.
​
Hypnotherapy works directly with the Limbic brain with experiential processes. We practice visualisation, imagination and interoception (sensing what you feel inside) so you can open your perceptions beyond regular thought patterns, illuminating details from within which are most relevant to you.

The body keeps the score
​
If you've read the work of Dr Gabor Maté or Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk, you'll come to understand that the body keeps track of every experience you've ever had. This data is stored in your subconscious, distributed throughout the body.
​
Utilising somatic (body) imaging, breath work, and sensing what you feel physically, we don't necessarily need to go into the particulars of 'the story' to make meaningful change on a deep level. We can follow the messages coming directly from your body and work with that intelligence to shift energy, plant seeds and practice the reality you'd prefer to experience.
​​In hypnosis, we can create environments from within beyond the limitations of physical matter and current conditions. By projecting experiences from the inside out to exist within and acclimatise to, we prepare the subconscious mind/body to acclimatise to these conditions in advance, bridging the gap between where you are and where you'd like to exist.
​
Everything in this physical reality began as an idea — a concept within the mind before it materialised. Hypnosis enables us to access these aspects of our creative energy, directing your attention to focus on the essence of the ideal. By immersing yourself in these new neural processes, it generates a ripple effect, starting within and building out into your physical reality.

Beyond belief
Mind is the builder — the physical is the result.
“The experiences we are having each moment are actually changing the structure of our brains.”

My work is to help you use your own subconscious as a reference point for navigating your inner and outer worlds.​
​
For many years I’ve been studying the realm of consciousness; learning how the brain and body work together, and how the subtle aspects of our experience — such as inner dialogue, gut feelings, somatic sensation, intuition, imagination, dreams, and the field we exist within — all play an integral role in our wellbeing.
​This is the realm of the subconscious.
​
Hypnotherapy proves effective because it provides you with the opportunity to tap into and directly influence the subconscious to generate positive change. Together, we create an atmosphere which allows you to relax, settle into yourself, acknowledge where you are, and attune to the messages emerging from within, awaiting your attention.
​
Our perception is the key. We have way more influence over our experience than we *think*. Your subconscious already knows the way, and in hypnosis we can address it directly.

The beauty is — you never know what you'll discover.
