PRE-SESSION INFORMATION
Before you get started please read, listen and watch the below instruction recordings.
Please do not listen to your sessions while you are driving or operating any machinery.
I recommend you listen to each week's session every day or at least 3 x per week for the longer version. You can listen to the short session option on other days.
Please take your sessions seriously as you would going into a clinic for a session. Set yourself up, undisturbed, comfortable and ready.
Listen to the below audio, then watch and complete the worksheet video before starting your week 1 session.

Watch the above video for guidance on how to complete your worksheet.
Have your completed worksheet on your lap or beside you while you are listening to your sessions. You do not need to use the one above you can write it on a piece of paper.
The worksheet is simply a place to write your goals, positive affirmations, thoughts, gratitude and values. You keep it on your lap as you are listening to each recording so have something positive to focus on.
Worksheet Sections Summary:
Goals: This is the most import section of your worksheet. You need to have at least one goal to complete your course.
Symptoms to clear: Only complete if you have any physical symptoms.
Thoughts: You only need to complete this section if you can think of any thoughts that trouble you. If you cannot think of any, thats fine. You can have the intention of positive thoughts during your sessions.
Affirmations: These are great for rewiring your mind to think more positive thoughts. They need to be relevant to you.
Habits: List any habits you would like to replace with something positive.
Gratitude: List everything you are grateful for in your personal or work life. This is important for you to identify and focus on and will help you feel more positive.
Values: This is a highly recommended section. It helps you align with what is important to you in your life.
In each recording there are moments and minuets of silence. This is a great time to reflect on your goal and be positive about what you want to achieve.
Each session runs for approximately 40min. Please listen to each one every day or 3 x per week minimum. I have included 15 min short recordings as a backup if you cannot fit in the longer option.

We are naturally programmed to follow nature’s cycles and rhythm of the day. When you follow the natural cycles of nature and your body, you can experience greater physical, mental and emotional balance. The times above are times where our body and mind are more receptive to clearing negative thoughts, releasing stress and balancing emotions.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years and has observed the cycles of nature and the human body. It’s an intrinsic system where nature, our organs and the energy in us called qi runs though us at in a particular way that is influenced by the sun and the time of day.
Crystals:
Crystals and gemstones have different healing properties and vibrations. If you have any, you can use them during your sessions.
Just pick one or more and place it on your body during your session. All of the below stones have different properties and assist in healing and help you go deeper into relaxation.
Below are a few crystals I work with and recommend. If you have other ones than the ones listed you can also use them.
Black Tourmaline for shifting negativity into positive energy
Clear Quartz for connecting with your one true intention.
Rose Quartz for love and trust
Citrine for bringing in abundance of wealth and success
Amethyst for relaxation and going deeper
Lapis Lazuli for help with your inner truth
Aquamarine for clearing toxic thoughts away
Each hypnotherapy session runs for approximately 40 min and includes my voice, guiding you through visualisations. There is a subtle theta wave track in the background and positive subliminal messages relating your each week. Some of the subliminal messages in the background are “I am positive”, “I believe in myself”, “I am happy”, “I am confident”, “I flow through life with ease”, “I have achieved my goals”, ”I am in control of how I feel”, “I love my life”.
Week 1: This week’s focus is on stress release.
Recommended: Find an activity this week that you are able to do to make yourself feel calm and relaxed. If you haven’t tried yoga or Pilates this could be a good week to try it. If that’s not for you, you could go for a walk, swim in a pool, the ocean, have a bath or aim to spend even 20 minutes in nature.
Breathing technique to try: The 4, 7, 8 breathing technique is used to manage stress and anxiety or during relaxation. This method of breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, slows down your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure so you feel calm and relaxed.
The more you repeat this breathing technique, the easier it becomes and the quicker you will notice results. Try and do this breathing at least twice a day.
If you experience stress and anxiety daily or do any of the below then give it a go:
- When you feel stressed at work or with the kids
- While studying/during exams
- In bed, if you find it hard to fall asleep
- If you are overwhelmed, emotional or anxious
- While doing yoga
- While you are practicing mindfulness
- Before doing a speech or presentation
Benefits:
- Improved sleep if you practice this breathing for at least 15 min before sleep
- Reduced stress levels
- Reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms
- Improved concentration
