It was while working in the fitness industry that I discovered my love of working closely with people. As I progressed in that field, my skill set and desire directed me to work with those that were facing challenges and disadvantages in their lives; the lady with the ‘dead shoulder’, those with severe weight challenges, physiological limitations & injuries and the intellectually impaired. I had found my niche and as long as it involved assisting people to be the best they could be, enabling me to assist and support them to meet their goals, I loved what I was doing.

 

A hunger to learn, grow and develop my skill set then led me on to certify in therapeutic massage, figure fitness, art therapy, police victim support training. The opportunities seemed endless; I was like a sponge, constantly wanting more information and tools. This progressed to enrolling in university to start counselling training.

 

Specialising in Clinical Hypnotherapy seemed a natural further step, having later joined a partnership in a Private Natural Health Clinic in Auckland. Exposure to an in-house Clinical Hypnotherapist’s work and his tutoring for the Hypnotherapy School was my introduction to the wonderful world of Hypnotherapy. On realising that the commodity of Hypnotherapy awards the opportunity to make a ‘permanent change’, I was sold!

 

I have been working within this field for close to 20 years now, am passionate about my work and humbled that it allows me to make a difference. I feel privileged to have travelled the journey that I have and experienced the many opportunities that have enriched my learning and skills along the way.
