Louise Hamilton Hypnotherapy

Not hypnotherapy or horse related, but as a large number of my clients and followers are menopausal I thought it worth sharing, if it might help even 1 person feel better….

If you’re already on HRT but still struggling with things like:
👉 Extreme fatigue
👉 Achy joints & muscle pain
👉 Brain fog / memory / concentration struggles
👉 Little to no s*x drive

…then it might be worth asking your GP to check your testosterone levels. As far as I’m aware, no GP will ever suggest it but if you ask they will do it

I only found this out completely by accident – turns out I have none whatsoever in my system 🤯.

What I’ve learned so far:
➡️ NHS guidance says GPs can prescribe testosterone, but from calling around, most don’t.
➡️ Instead, you usually need to be asked to be referred to a menopause clinic (I’ve been waiting 10 weeks and finally have an appointment in 4 weeks’ time – hallelujah 🙌).

In the meantime, I’ve been living on ibuprofen just to manage the constant pain in my back, hips and hamstrings (even though I am currently stretching 3-4 times a day with yoga). I’m in bed ridiculously early most nights because I’m exhausted – sometimes by 7:30pm (if not earlier 😩). And the brain fog? Let’s just say I can’t even remember which rein I cantered MJ on 20 seconds ago, let alone anything more complicated 🫠.

I’m not posting this for sympathy – but in case it helps someone else join the dots and push for answers. If you’ve ticked any of the above boxes and thought “that’s me!”, it might be worth asking about testosterone.

We’re not told this stuff… so sometimes we have to share it with each other 💕

Just can’t wait for the supercharged bionic me once I get the testosterone in me👍🏃‍♀️🧐🔥

🕷️ It’s that time of year again… “spider season”! 🕷️
For some people it’s just a passing thought, but for others, the fear of spiders can take over everyday life - checking corners, avoiding certain rooms, feeling on edge at home. It can feel exhausting.
The good news? You don’t have to live with that fear.
With gentle, supportive hypnotherapy, I can help you feel calm, confident, and in control again, so you can go about your life without that constant worry.
Imagine being able to walk into any room without hesitation, relax in your own home, and feel free from that fear.
If this is something you’d love for yourself, drop me a message. You don’t have to do it alone.
✨ Here’s to a calmer, spider-season-free you! ✨

What a brilliant weekend at the Scottish TREC Championships in beautiful South Lanarkshire!

It was such a pleasure to be there as a sponsor, working from my little mobile therapy room with that gorgeous backdrop all around. I had some lovely hypnotherapy sessions over the weekend and really enjoyed the chance to share how it can make such a difference - not just for horse riders, but for all sorts of areas in life.

Best of all was getting out, having those conversations, and meeting so many new faces (and a few familiar ones too!). It’s always inspiring to hear people’s stories and chat about how hypnotherapy can help with confidence, self-belief, nerves and so much more.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat – what a supportive and welcoming community. 💕

✨ Exciting news ✨

I’ve been learning how to update my website myself (yay for tech progress! 🙌), which means you’ll start seeing fresh updates more often.

To celebrate, I’ve added a FREE hypnotherapy recording in the blog section of my site 💻💫

This gentle session is designed to guide you into a deep state of calm and relaxation - a lovely introduction to hypnosis, giving you the chance to experience it in a safe, easy way. It’s perfect if you’re curious about my work, want to unwind, or just need some extra support preparing for positive changes in your life. It is designed to be listened to as you drift off to sleep, and as an added bonus, lots of people find it also helps improve their sleep!

So if you’d like to try it out, pop over to the blog section of my website, have a listen, and let me know how you get on.

👉 Please feel free to tag a friend who might benefit and share this post – the more calm and relaxation we can spread, the better 💕

Exciting news! ✨

I’m really proud to be sponsoring the GB TREC Championships this weekend 🐴🇬🇧

I’ll also be there on Sunday with my cosy mobile therapy room, offering mini pre-competition sessions to help settle any nerves, boost confidence, and get you in the right headspace before you ride.

Whether it’s calming the butterflies, building self-belief, or just finding a moment of focus before you ride, hypnotherapy can make a real difference. I’ll also be around to answer any questions if you’re curious about how hypnotherapy could help with things like competition anxiety, confidence in the saddle, or even challenges outside of riding.

If you’re competing (or just passing by!), please do come and say hello - I’d love to meet you. Wishing everyone the very best of luck this weekend! 💙🐎

Great news!

Louise Hamilton Hypnotherapy will be available at the champs for any competition nerves or if you just want to chat about how hypnotherapy could help you!

Just drop her a message to enquire - she is planning to be onsite on Sunday but if the need/demand is there could come on Saturday afternoon/evening.

Just had to share this…
We’re brilliant at pampering our horses and making sure all their needs are met, but we’re not always as kind to ourselves. So here’s a little reminder to pause, check in with you, and look after your own mental wellbeing too ❤️

This morning at 6am I was out taking MJ for an in-hand walk to help keep her weight off – not quite the plan I had in mind for us right now.
She’s been having problems with her sacroiliac joint, and it’s been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster if I’m honest. After her first injection we had 6 brilliant months together, but this time round I’m just not seeing the same results. It’s left me second-guessing everything… worrying if I’m doing the right thing for her, overthinking every little action, and feeling disappointed when things don’t go the way I hoped.
When you care so deeply for your horse, it’s so easy for the worry to creep in and for the “what ifs” to spiral – which can leave you feeling anxious, low in mood, and bracing yourself for something else to go wrong.
If you’re going through something similar with your horse, please know you’re not alone – and there are ways to take back control of the worry and find a calmer, more confident headspace again. This is exactly the kind of support I offer, and I’d love to help if you need it.

Cross Country day at Scone Horse Trials 🐎💨 … wow, what brave horses and riders out there today! I feel so privileged to be able to say I’ve worked with 11 of the eventers competing, (from 90cm to 4* riders) helping them in different ways across all three disciplines. 💛

It’s such a reminder that while our horses give their all, sometimes it’s our minds that can hold us back from riding at our best. If you feel like your confidence or self-belief is stopping you from reaching your potential, drop me a PM – I’d love to chat about how I can support you too. 🌟

Mum and I are at Scone Horse Trials today, proudly wearing our Louise Hamilton Hypnotherapy shirts 🐴💙 If you spot us, come and say hi!

Right now we’re soaking up some world-class dressage – such a delight to watch, though it’s definitely the most tense of the three disciplines.

If you sometimes find yourself carrying that same tension into the “stressage” arena (we’ve all been there 🙈), remember your horse will pick up on it too. Staying calm and relaxed makes such a difference – for both of you.

If you’d like a little help finding your calm so your horse can stay relaxed and tension-free, just drop me a PM – I’d love to chat about how I can help 💫

I’ve just realised that back in September I posted that MJ is not likely to be ridden again due to pain issues. Well….the best thing happened..I started using a new (independent, equine specialist) vet from Newmarket and he suggested that it is her sacroiliac causing her pain issues due to her DSLD, not the DSLD causing the pain. So on 21 Jan we had her sacroiliac injected and she’s being ridden again showing not a flicker of discomfort in any way. Vet due back in March and I’m now even wondering if we will be able to get back to some low level competing….but if not, I’m just glad to have my wee heart horse, horse of a lifetime back to making ridden memories together🏇❤️👌

Rowley Mile Equine. THE BEST!!!
