I have been married for over 26 years and have two children, so when I work with others I can relate to some of the challengers that life can bring, juggling family and work.

​

One of my passions is painting and this for me is a great way to slow down and really look at life with clear eyes. It is a great form of meditation it forces you to really stay in the now and be fully aware of what the paint is doing and what you are really seeing.

Experience and Qualifications

I have been practising Clinical Hypnotherapy in Wellington for over 31 years and have had the privilege of helping thousands of people transform their lives. It’s incredibly satisfying to witness individuals make empowering changes. I believe that hypnotherapy has a wide range of applications, offering life-changing results. When you learn to tap into your imagination, you unlock pure potential. The mind and body are interconnected—when you shift your mind, your body follows, and what you focus on in this moment has the potential to become your future.

For 11 years, I served as a trainer with the New Zealand School of Professional Hypnotherapists. I am a Registered Professional Member of the New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH), where I currently serve as President and sit on the examination board. In addition to my professional practice, I founded the New Zealand Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy (NZACH), which offers advanced training in the field of hypnotherapy.

​

Throughout my career, I have shared my knowledge as a speaker at international hypnosis conferences and on platforms such as Radio NZ, Hutt FM, and various podcasts. I also co-host the NZACH Talk Time podcast, where we discuss therapeutic approaches to hypnotherapy.

​

As an author, I’ve written:
  • "Betting on Recovery: A Hypnotherapist’s Guide to Overcoming Gambling Addiction"

  • "Resolving Anxiety and Taming Your Mind Monster"

I also developed "Unlock the Power of Your Mind with the HELP System", a framework designed to empower individuals by cultivating self-belief and resilience.

​

Training and Additional Qualifications
  • Osmosis Academy of Hypnotherapy, Auckland: This academy meets the standards of the Hypnotherapy Guild (USA) and is recognised internationally. I completed my training here and have been practising in Wellington since 1993.

  • Motivational Interviewing for Smoking Cessation: I have successfully helped many clients overcome smoking addictions.

  • Reiki Master/Teacher: I integrate Reiki healing into my practice.

  • Yoga Teacher Training (200 hours), 2017: I completed my certification to deepen my understanding of mind-body connection.

  • Workshops and Retreats: Over the years, I’ve run numerous workshops, providing participants with tools and techniques to create positive change in their lives.

​

I love guiding clients through change using hypnotherapy, NLP, meditation, and Reiki, helping them transform their thoughts and behaviours in an empowering and positive way.

If you have any questions, feel free to call or email me.
