Welcome

Life is a journey filled with obstacles that put our resilience to the test and so we will all face uncertainty, loss, anxiety, stress and so on. We are not defined by the circumstances we face, but rather by how we respond to them. I have had to confront challenges in my own life, such as stress, anxiety, trauma, parental abandonment, insomnia, chronic pain and the pain of losing a loved one. I am now pain free after 25 years of chronic pain and firmly believe in our mind-body's innate ability to overcome and heal.

I don't just offer hypnotherapy and mindfulness; I work with a wider evidence-based toolkit that allows me to tap into what drives and perpetuates mind-body conditions. Part of this is being trauma-informed. It is learning to see that underneath unwanted conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction or PTSD is a wound. These conditions are manifestations of trauma and a dysregulated nervous system. Fortunately, we can learn how to regulate our nervous system over time.

I work with you to get to the root of your problems, to find long term solutions; so that you can let go of old patterns of behaviour and patterns of thinking. You then have the freedom to lead the happy and healthy life you desire.

Here's what past clients say:

“I underwent a course of hypnotherapy with Maria to overcome the anxiety I had in doing business presentations, and I must say I'm very impressed with the results. After only 3 sessions I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety levels and now take on presentations with much more confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria's hypnotherapy treatments - well worth the money."

”Having had an intractable insomnia problem, I went to see Maria for hypnotherapy. It has worked wonders”

“Massive thanks to you for helping me get my life on track. You have made an enormous difference to me - in how I am and how I relate to others. Thank you so very much."

”Well, it's a month ago today, and not only have I not smoked in that time, I haven't had the slightest desire to do so. Many, many thanks indeed. This is the longest I've ever gone without a cigarette and unlike previous attempts, giving up has been completely stress-free. I'm amazed at how effective the hypnotherapy has been and eternally grateful to you for helping me change my life for the better”

”Having been a smoker for 20 years and tried various techniques (patches, gum, etc.) I thought I would give Hypnotherapy a go. I must admit I was a bit of cynic before my meeting with Maria. In a very relaxed environment Maria talked me through the pros (not many) and cons (many) of smoking. Ten months later I am still not smoking thanks Maria"

”Excellent, treated me for my flying phobia. Had a much more comfortable flying experience afterwards. Highly recommended"

”Maria was an excellent mindfulness trainer, and I would highly recommend her to others"
