Mind Garden Hypnotherapy

Mind Garden Hypnotherapy Sara at Mind Garden Hypnotherapy and Mind Garden Kids is a qualified and registered Hypnotherapist

Sara is a clinical hypnotherapist with a practice at her home in Christchurch, New Zealand. Sara originally trained as a primary school teacher in England and taught in both London and New Zealand. She became in interested in Hypnosis when she was studying to be a teacher and often used relaxation and visualisation within the classroom setting. Later on when she came to New Zealand she became much more interested in hypnotherapy and did extensive research which gave her a much deeper understanding of clinical hypnotherapy and its applications. A few years later when she became pregnant with her first child she decided to do Hypnobirthing. That experience changed her life! “I just couldn’t believe that I would be able to give birth without any pain but that is exactly what happened”. It was then that she decided to study to be a hypnotherapist but with a new baby to look after it was a few years later that she finally enrolled on the Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy course offered by the Professional School of Hypnotherapy and is currently completing her final portfolio. When Sara’s son, Jake, was diagnosed with Leukemia, she used hypnotherapy in a number of ways to help him. Part of his treatment involved taking pills, sometimes up to 10 a day. As the chemo made him sicker he built up an aversion to taking the pills to the point where he would feel sick or vomit if they were even mentioned. She ended up taking him to a fantastic hypnotherapist and the change was amazing. He came out of the first session saying I can take my pills now and Sara came out thinking “That is what I want to do”. Sara now enjoys working with children, especially those who are facing the challenges of illness. She continues to enjoy providing a free monthly relaxation and stress relief session to the mothers and fathers at the Child Cancer Foundation.

I had a lovely teenage girl come for a hypnotherapy session last week who was becoming anxious when she thought about school.

So much so that she hadn't been to school in a couple of weeks.

In her imagination she was running a future video of herself failing, making an idiot of herself, becoming overwhelmed and having a panic attack. She had run this video so many times that her mind and body believed her and were preventing her from going to school (making her feel sick for example).

In hypnosis we simply changed the focus and ran a new improved video. The change was remarkable and she bravely decided to go to school the next day where she said she "had a brilliant day".

Sometimes it really is simply what we focus on that we get more of!
