Hypnotherapy Testimonials

Depression
"Steph was recommended to me at a time when I had been diagnosed with depression and was not coping very well with life at all. At a time when I felt most vunerable Steph was empathetic, gentle and professional in her approach to our sessions.
I have felt much calmer, relaxed and more confident in myself and she has given me some tools that I can use to assist my every day situations. She is very professional & excellent at what she does"........ Karen (Personal Trainer)


Smoking
"After 18 years of smoking, with two sessions of hypnotherapy combined with NLP, I gave up smoking easily and relatively effortlessly. The sessions were both relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anybody who has a desire to stop smoking"......... Mike (CEO) Christchurch

"How do I thank and voice how Stephanie has changed my life through hypnotherapy to give up smoking?
Yes, I wanted to give up - half-heartedly; actually I enjoyed smoking and was addicted enough to panic if I didn't have any cigarettes on me. I went into my first session with Stephanie a happy smoker, and haven't had a cigarette since! Yes I can easily be around other smokers without preaching or feeling ill. I am proud that I have been a positive example and that Stephanie has successfully helped friends that I have recommended to her to also stop smoking. Stephanie is a true professional who works with your individual issues - and it works."..........Kate, Area Manager, Christchurch


Phobia
"I had an incredibly deep fear of flying. The moment I knew I had to fly I couldn't sleep. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach, it was such torture. On the plane I barely took a breath, I often couldn't stop the tears flowing and food was definately out of the question. I went along to a fantastic hypnotherapist and it completely changed my life.
The wonderfully relaxing sessions made me feel fantastic and when I went on a trip to Queensland, I was excited to go. I was relaxed on the plane, I ate, I laughed. I shocked everyone that knew me and I shocked myself. I can't thank Stephanie enough for giving me the joy of flight"........ Wendy Steeds, Christchurch

"Hi Stephanie  Thanks very much for your help. I had two great flights over the weekend... Whenever I got a bit nervous I just used my anchor or immediately your voice popped into my mind saying rational things to calm me again. When the plane hit some turbulence and then tipped into a bit of a turn I was happy because I knew it was the pilot moving us onto a gentler path.
It’s wonderful to enjoy flying again!   Cheers......." Lisette Good, Studio Manager, Christchurch

Childbirth
"After the traumatic birth of my first child I wanted to explore alternative options for pain relief, I decided upon hypnotherapy with a waterbirth. The experience was truly amazing, with Steph's help and understanding in the lead up to my delivery, I managed to give birth in a completely natural way using self-hypnosis. Our two midwives with combined experience of over 50 years had never witnessed a more calm and relaxed birth, they were totally blown away"..... Kate Endacott (Hairdresser & Make-up Artist)

"My husband and I attended the HypnoBirthing classes run by Stephanie in the run up to the birth of our son. During labour I used several of the HypnoBirthing techniques that Stephanie had taught us. As a result of the classes, my husband was absolutely fantastic at leading me through some of these techniques and continually managing my focus. I cannot stress enough the importance to me of having a birthing companion like him who was completely confident with the HypnoBirthing techniques and was able to guide me through them. Stephanie's reassurances and calm, confident voice through the hypnosis sessions were also a crucial part of the experience for me. I would certainly recommend HypnoBirthing to anyone who is pregnant. I found Stephanie to be a wonderfully caring and supportive tutor."....... Kathy, Diamond Harbour


Self Confidence
"With an up and coming presentation at work, I felt tense and sick with nerves. After two sessions with Stephanie, I was able to deliver my presentation in a calm, relaxed manner, speaking clearly and with humour. I was amazed at the change in myself"............Spencer, Christchurch
