Your Mind Redesigned Hypnotherapy

If “just relax” worked… you’d already be asleep.

A lot of people with busy, analytical minds struggle at night.

Not because they’re doing anything wrong —
but because their mind is doing what it’s good at:

• replaying the day
• planning tomorrow
• analysing everything
• staying switched on

So when someone says “just relax”…
it doesn’t land.

(I’ve even had a client laugh at that suggestion — fair enough.)

What I noticed over time in clinic is this:

👉 analytical minds don’t need to be quieted
👉 they need to be guided

When you give the mind:

structure
sequence
something to do

…it actually helps the body begin to settle.

That’s how this sleep protocol came about.

Not from theory alone —
but from real client feedback:

✔ what worked
✔ what didn’t
✔ what actually helped people switch off

It now follows a simple flow:

• clear the mental load earlier in the evening
• guide the body into a rest state
• use hypnosis at bedtime
• support returning to sleep if you wake at 2am
• set up the next day to support better sleep naturally

This isn’t about forcing sleep.

It’s about creating the conditions where sleep becomes possible.

If your mind tends to stay switched on at night —
this was designed for you.

👉 Use it tonight

If you’re anything like many of the women I work with, life can sometimes feel like it’s running at full speed.

Work, family, responsibilities, expectations… and somewhere in there you’re supposed to stay calm, clear-headed and functioning at your best.

The truth is, stress isn’t just about having too much to do.
It’s about how the nervous system responds to the pressure around us.

When that system stays switched on for too long, we start to notice familiar signs:

mental overload

irritability or exhaustion

difficulty concentrating

feeling like you're always “on”

That’s exactly why we created Thrive: Unlock Clarity & Peak Efficiency.

It’s a practical online course designed to help you understand what stress is doing in your body — and how to gently bring your system back into balance.

Inside the course you’ll learn:

• How the stress response works
• How to identify your personal triggers
• Simple nervous system calming techniques
• Guided hypnosis exercises for mental reset
• Gentle yoga flows designed to reclaim calm

The course combines tools from clinical hypnotherapy, NLP and behavioural science, along with movement practices that reconnect body and mind.

It’s delivered in 4 modules and 10 short lessons, and takes about 1 hour 40 minutes to complete — designed to be practical and easy to work through at your own pace.

You can explore the course here:

To celebrate the launch, Udemy is currently offering the course for $14.99 (normally $29.99) until 5 March.

If life has been feeling a little full lately, I hope this course offers you a few practical tools to help restore clarity, calm and balance.

Warmly,
Marisa

Your Mind Redesigned is a Sunshine Coast-based clinical hypnotherapy practice helping you reduce stress and anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and shift unwanted habits such as smoking and emotional eating.

Founded by Marisa Netherwood, a professionally registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, the practice integrates evidence-informed hypnotherapy with cognitive and behavioural tools to support meaningful, sustainable change.

Many clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or frustrated by patterns they “know better than” but can’t seem to shift. Hypnotherapy works particularly well here because these patterns often operate below conscious awareness.

Common areas of support include:
• Stress & anxiety reduction
• Habit change (smoking, emotional eating)
• Confidence & mindset
• Sleep & nervous system regulation
• Emotional resilience

Sessions are available in Palmwoods on the Sunshine Coast and online Australia-wide.

If you're ready to feel calmer, clearer and more in control, book an initial consultation to begin.

Mentally over-spent? Can I show you how to save your energy for what really matters?

I'm so proud of my client, we’ll call her R. We've been working on a really complex issue involving anxiety, agoraphobia and driving on a certain stretch of road.
R is a very informed person. She’s had past experience with hypnotherapy, some good, some bad. When she came to me, she was very specific - It was because of how tailored I am towards clients. She tried basic scripts before, and it didn't work for her
I'll admit to you, it took awhile for Rachel's subconscious mind to relax with me. Yet as rapport built over time, she started noticing changes. She would go to woollies without “white knuckling it” through the experience. She was able to brave Boxing Day crowds of a big shopping centre without a panic attack.
She’s even been for a drive through the previously worrisome stretch of road without incident, and now she knows she can do it.
This progress hasn't been overnight.
It wasn't a one session wonder.
And we still have a little work to do to get her to the level of relaxation R desires.
Yet, we’re committed to the goal and moving forward in a sustainable direction.
I wanted to share this because it's been a real journey for us both and celebrating progress is just as important, if not more so, than cheering only for a completed goal.
After all, it's the participation in the journey of life than the rush towards the destination that makes the trip more pleasurable.

Social Media Ban for Under 16's - Parents, do you feel prepared? Comment INFO for more details.

Are you concerned about the upcoming social media ban and how it will affect your teen?

Local workshops aim to help families navigate social media changes
By Behaviour and Mental Health Practitioner, Marisa Netherwood

With the upcoming under-16 social media delay taking effect on 10 December, many hinterland families are preparing for a transition that feels both necessary and challenging. While it isn’t technically a ban, the reality is that many young people will still be caught in the cross-waters as the change rolls out. Some won’t feel much loss at all – but for others, the shift will remove something that has played a big role in their daily lives.

As a parent to a 14-year-old, I wanted to understand what role social media actually played for young people: connection, identity cues, entertainment, dopamine reward, creativity, sensory regulation and more. When you remove something that meets multiple psychological needs, kids don’t just lose a pastime – they lose a structure. And structure needs replacing, not ignoring.

With that in mind, we’ve created a one-hour parent and caregiver information session to help families understand the delay, anticipate emotional and behavioural ripple-effects, and support their children with clarity and empathy rather than confusion and conflict. Central to the session is the Bridge Matrix – an 11-category framework mapping out what social media used to offer and how families can rebuild those benefits in healthier, real-world ways. Parents receive a printable version to co-design with their child, creating a personalised plan that feels collaborative rather than imposed.

But we’ve also recognised another challenge: many teens and tweens simply won’t sit down with a parent to workshop an activity plan. Developmentally, it’s normal – not defiance, just a need for autonomy. So we’ve also developed a two-hour teen workshop that delivers the same bridging principles through novelty, movement, hands-on activities and self-driven exploration. It helps young people craft their own matrix in a way that feels empowering and age-appropriate.

This change presents a challenge – and with the right tools and mindset, it can become an opportunity to strengthen wellbeing, rebuild real-world connection, and support kids who will genuinely feel the impact. Local parents and caregivers interested in early session details are welcome to get in touch at info@yourmindredesigned.com.

Parents of teens — with the under-16 social media ban starting soon, many families are wondering how to help their kids adjust without conflict or overwhelm.
We’re running a short parent session that gives you a clear roadmap for this transition, plus a practical activity matrix you and your teen can build together.
We’re also hosting a longer workshop for teens based on the matrix, focusing on connection, creation, movement, flow state, and healthy dopamine alternatives.
If you’d like early details or want to join the first intake, comment INFO or send me a message.
We’re all about making this transition easier on everyone — and maybe even turning it into an unexpected opportunity.
