NLP / Hypnotherapy

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the relationship between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).

NLP can help you programme your ‘vice’ into something you detest (great for food cravings), change negative beliefs, patterns & habits, eliminate phobias, increase motivation, and anchor positive emotional states.

Hypnotherapy is a technique which ties in beautifully with NLP. Hypnosis is a natural relaxed state; we enter in and out of a few times on an average day. For example, if you drove home tonight; do you remember the entire journey? No, because you were in a hypnotic trance. Ever tried to talk to someone glued to the TV, and can’t get through; yes, they were in a hypnotic state.

Hypnotherapy works by inducing a hypnotic state, which allows us to communicate directly with the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. During hypnosis, you are in control at every moment and will not do anything against your will.

NLP Hypnotherapy is great for increasing self confidence, reducing cravings, achieving goals, increasing success, reducing negative thoughts, reducing anxiety, eliminating addictions, quitting cigarettes, and weight loss.

Iridology

The iris presents the practitioner with a map of the entire body. Used as a diagnostic tool to detect imbalances in the body.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage provides a whole body experience aimed towards physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Using various Swedish and therapeutic massage techniques, relaxation massage works to increase lymphatic and cardiovascular flow, strengthen the immune system, and balance hormones to help create a state of inner peace and calm. Reiki can also be incorporated into massage.

Weight Loss

Lose weight without losing nutrients.

There is a common mis-conception in society that in order to reduce weight, one must reduce food quantities, and calories. Whilst this may be an issue, as a general rule people wanting to lose weight should eat more, not less. It’s more fundamental to change the types of foods/drinks consumed and change eating ‘habits’. NLP Hypnotherapy is brilliant for this, as it addresses the unconscious mind; habits are stored in the unconscious part of the mind.

Biological Impendence Analysis (BIA) is used in weight loss programs to track muscle, fat, and hydration levels. BIA is also used to compare your biological age to chronological age; find out how old you really are!

Life Coaching

Before we implement the law of attraction, and work on goals and visualisations, we need to ‘clear out the crap’. Clear past negative emotions and beliefs, which are blocking you from achieving the life you really want. Alter beliefs and values, to align them with your dreams and goals.

Health and Wellness Coaching

Health and Wellness Coaching will empower you to make a change for the better; eliminate negative habits, set health wellness goals and create achievable 12-week action plans.

Habits take 21 days to make or break, using the conscious mind. Habits takes a few minutes to re-programme once we tap into the unconscious mind.

Goals are implanted into the unconscious mind using Time Line Therapy and NLP techniques.

Simple realistic action plans are drawn up, to ensure optimum success. 

Quit Smoking

Utilising the latest NLP and Hypnotherapy techniques; quit smoking safely without the stress.

Why should you quit?

• The average smoker spends about $4,000 per year on cigarettes
• Non-smokers live on average about 14 years longer than smokers (American Heart Association)
• Smoking increases risk of developing stroke, heart attack and certain cancers
• Smoking depletes certain vitamins and minerals
• Smoking increases the release of stress hormones

Please only book, if ‘quitting’ is your decision, not your wife’s/friend’s/children’s. This is because NLP Hypnotherapy will only work if YOU want to change.
