Gippsland Hypnotherapy, Sale (2026)

20/12/2025

As the year winds down and we move into the holiday period, I want to wish you all a very warm, gentle and happy end to the year. 🎄✨

I also want to acknowledge something that doesn’t always get said loudly enough.

For many people, this time of year isn’t all joy, connection and celebration. It can be lonely, stressful, emotional or deeply confronting — sometimes all at once. Family dynamics can be complicated. Relationships can feel strained. Grief, change, health challenges or exhaustion can rise to the surface when the world expects us to be merry.

Life is complex. Families are complex. And we all navigate this season in our own way.

So if you’re not spending this time doing what you love with the people you love, please know this: it’s absolutely okay to spend time doing what you love for you.

Rest. Walk. Read. Create. Breathe. Say no. Say yes when it feels right. Honour your nervous system. Choose what feels supportive, not what feels obligatory.

Self-care isn’t selfish — especially at this time of year. It’s essential.

However you’re moving through the coming days, I hope you’re kind to yourself and give yourself permission to meet this season exactly where you are.

Sending warmth and compassion to you and yours.

Back to basics moment today 💭

I was at my GP’s this morning, seeing someone different to tick off a last-minute to-do before the end of the year. He asked what I do, and we got chatting. One of those simple conversations that quietly brings everything back to basics.

If you’re a potential client, you might be wondering how you actually engage me or Gippsland Hypnotherapy.

Here’s the simple answer:

✨ You don’t need a referral — this is what GPs call self-referral.
✨ You just need a challenge you’d like support with.

That might look like:

• Wanting to quit smoking because it’s costing you time, money, and your health — and feeling like you’ve 'tried everything' already
• Wanting relief from anxiety, whether it’s around family dynamics, work, or going out in public
• Feeling fearful about needles and needing a blood test or immunisation
• Struggling to sleep because your nervous system feels constantly wired and stressed, with no off switch in sight

Most importantly, you’re curious about how coaching and hypnotherapy can help you create change with more ease and flow.

Less pushing.
Less hustling.
Less trial and error.

That’s where I come in.

I offer a free initial consult so we can chat about where you’re at, what you’d like to change, and what support makes the most sense for you — whether that’s working with me, checking in with your GP, or exploring another option altogether.

PS: Don’t wait for the New Year to change things. Most resolutions fail because they rely on gritted-teeth determination and perfect willpower — and perfect isn’t a thing.

PPS: You can start the year with greater certainty, calm, and support — without pushing yourself into another cycle of 'trying harder'.

This is why I do this work 🤍

Supporting people through real change — not just coping, but feeling safer, stronger, and more at home within themselves — is something I never take lightly. When a client chooses to trust the process and share their experience, it truly means the world to me.

If you’ve been quietly wondering whether coaching and hypnotherapy could help you, know this: you don’t have to have it all figured out, and you don’t have to do it alone.

✨ Curious? Start with a conversation – support begins there.

Sometimes the most rewarding work happens in the places you least expect.

This week I had the absolute privilege of meeting Jo Brailey from the Swifts Creek Bush Nursing Centre – and I'm thrilled to share that I've been invited to run a wellness workshop for their female clients in the new year.

I left our conversation genuinely humbled.

The nurses in these remote communities are extraordinary. Many volunteers contribute their time to make these not-for-profit centres work, and even when their nursing shift officially ends, they can be on call 24/7 – attending births, responding to car and farm incidents, and supporting everyday health needs for locals who rely on them.

It's hard to put into words just how dedicated, skilled, and community-minded they are. What they do goes far beyond healthcare – it's heart, resilience, and service woven together.

I'm honoured to contribute in whatever small way I can, and I'm excited to support the women of Swifts Creek with tools for wellbeing, calm, and confidence in 2026.

If you've never come across the incredible work of bush nursing centres, here's a great place to start: Swifts Creek Bush Nursing Centre.

Wise advice for new parents 👶🍼🧑‍🍼

I’ve been absolutely loving The Chats Fam: Momchats and Dadchats. They’re hilarious, they don’t take life too seriously (well… mostly!), and they offer such a refreshing take on the chaos of family life.

But this particular piece of advice for new parents really hit home for me. Honestly, it would’ve been a game changer back in the day.

After 20+ years of marriage, two little ones who are now 9 and 13, and navigating peri-menopause on top of it all, I can say hand-on-heart that those early years were tough — beautiful, but heavy. A bit of humour and some grounded wisdom would’ve made a world of difference.

And if you’re in one of those seasons where everything feels “a lot”, please know you don’t have to carry it alone. Whether it’s anxiety, overwhelm, or simply needing a mental breather, hypnotherapy can be such a calming reset.

If you ever want some support, a safe space, or a personalised session, I’m here. 💛

Warmly,

We always have a choice 🧘‍♀️✨

We can match the chaos — or hold our centre.

Earlier this week I sat down at my desk with a to-do list bigger than my laptop screen. Deadlines slipping, communication patchy, a messy issue on my website… and no one rushing to fix it.

I felt that familiar inner storm brewing — tight shoulders, shallow breath, the “FFS, it can’t be that hard” loop running wild.

Then I caught myself.

This is the exact crossroads I coach my clients through.

Chaos happens. But we get to choose how we meet it.

So I stepped back. Took a breath. Reminded myself:
“I choose the energy I bring into this.”

And everything softened.

A few truths landed:
✨ Some people bring scattered energy to everything — it doesn’t mean we need to join them.
✨ Calm clarity shows us what aligns and what doesn’t.
✨ Your standards aren’t “too much” — they’re your values guiding the way.
✨ When we stay centred, we don’t get dragged into other people’s storms.

So instead of spiralling, I dealt with it intentionally. No heat. No blame. Just clarity and boundaries.

The reminder?

Life will always throw a bit of chaos. Our power is in how we respond.

Stay centred. Stay clear. Choose your energy.
That’s how we become the steady ones — in business, relationships, and life.

How do you ground yourself when everything feels messy?

Who else feels like they’ve got a billion tabs open in their brain… and the laptop is just confirming it?

It’s Friday, and it’s been an epic week — clients, kids, squeezing in my fitness tennis lesson (even though I nearly talked myself into the couch… and then had a brilliant time once I got there), plus our final Gippsland Women in Business event for 2025 and the AGM. Both an absolute success, and I’m still buzzing.

Today, though, I’m slowing down so I can speed up.

I’m smelling the roses and giving myself space to just be.
I’m officially closing all the open tabs.

Next step: a blank piece of paper and my ‘things list’ — not a to-do list. That comes later, once I’ve downloaded the mental clutter, regrouped, and chosen my top three hot things that will help me feel grounded, in control, and back in my flow.

From there, the creativity and productivity always return.

Can you relate? Is it time to close your tabs and regroup too?

Nirelle xo

Ps. How gorgeous are my roses!

💥 Perimenopause hit me like a wrecking ball I never saw coming.

If you know, you know.
If you don’t — that’s okay. Most of us didn’t either, until it hit.

For two years, I pushed through fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, joint pain, and skin flare-ups — thinking I was just “burnt out” or “too busy.”

Turns out, I was in the thick of perimenopause.

It’s the silent, private storm so many women over 40 are weathering — often alone, confused, and feeling like a stranger in their own skin.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
🧠 It’s not all in your head.
💬 You’re not crazy.
💪 And you’re definitely not alone.

This is a story about breaking the silence — about learning to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and rebuild your confidence when hormones (and Imposter Syndrome) try to knock you flat.

I’m sharing my journey — the messy, human, real version — because it’s time we talked about this openly.

👉 Read my full here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-hell-called-perimenopause-nirelle-bennett-hq2ac

If it resonates, please share it with the women in your life who might need to hear: You’re not going mad — you’re just changing.
