Bring:

*Notebook &/or journal, plus pen

* a water bottle

*Yoga mat or camping foam roll for the final lying down sessions of the day

* A small pillow/cushion

*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 your yoga mat. If lying on the floor is difficult for you, let me know as I can provide a deep reclining futon chair for one participant. Alternatively, feel free to relax in one of the arm chairs in the room.

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 over the lead-up week will shift your mindset - to be ready 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 food.

   Please note however, that lunch is not provided.

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 share any personal content with the group, but feel free to do so if you choose to.

In this way, hypnotherapy is very different from traditional talking therapies. It works because the changes take place rapidly inside your mind and the nervous system is re-wired accordingly. 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.

10.00: Welcome & greetings

An introduction to modern hypnotherapy along with discussion of the nature and function of the unconscious mind followed with a somatic relaxation induction.

11.20 - 11.50: Morning tea break -  a selection of teas is served with light sweet & savoury snacks in the kitchen. GF & soy milk is included. Please let me know of any extra dietary restrictions.

11.50 - 1.00: Morning session continues. We explore the state of trance and play with some simple practical exercises including breathwork.

1.00 - 2.00: Lunch hour

Lunch is not provided. Katoomba’s cafes are just a few minutes’ walking distance. Alternatively, you can bring your own lunch to enjoy in the park across the road, or sit on the front lawn.

2.00 - 3.30: Mid-afternoon session

Learning about the power of language and word choice, leading towards designing the exact wording you’ll give your unconscious mind in hypnosis. I’ll guide you into a hypnotic induction by inducing deep relaxation to prepare you for embedding your desired changes. If you don’t have any particularly pressing problems or goals, this is your perfect opportunity to embark on a creative project, personal development or a new career/business venture.

3.30 - 3.50: Short afternoon tea break - includes checking on and refining your individual wording for the directions you have prepared for your unconscious mind. This can be done with me in private, or with the group if you choose to share.

3.50 – 5.40: Late afternoon session - includes two lying down inductions

In the First Induction- accompanied by sound track and active imagination - I will lead you into an experience of deep meditation and relaxation. This creates the conditions needed for the unconscious mind to be receptive to your new specific directions. You will be embedding your goals and directions now.

I will be guiding your unconscious mind to get it working on-side with you, delivering the changes you want.

In the Second Induction - accompanied by a different sound track and active imagination - your unconscious mind will be directed to step-up activity by boosting your immune system, improving general health, deepening your sleep, dissolving anxiety and implementing everything you’ve learnt over the day.

5.40 - 6.00: Bask the relaxed state, reflecting on and absorbing your fresh new perspectives. Finally fully wake up!

Over the 8 hours of this full-day program, you’ll have learnt how to work with your incredible unconscious mind.

You’ll have experienced hypnotherapy personally and be equipped with techniques for your ongoing self-hypnosis through exploring the state of self-induced trance.

The conscious mind sets your goals and your unconscious mind gets them!

So even as you read this, your unconscious mind will be very curious and is already working in the background towards changing any deep-seated, unresourceful programming you may carry.

In hypnosis you’ll become deeply relaxed yet highly 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!
