Finding love, confidence, feeling strong and happier without medication after healing trauma
From fear to feeling safe, calm, stronger and happier
“I was going through a lot in my life and couldn’t understand why. I started conventional therapy but it was only bringing back strong negative emotions from a trauma I didn’t know I had, but not the root of it so I couldn’t work on it.
During my hypnosis with Nat, I discovered why I was feeling like that. I could see it, and understand how it had affected my life in many areas and I was ready to finally be able to work on it.
I was scared at first but working with Nat has been only positive and really easy with her support. She always makes me feel safe and calm and finishes her sessions in a way that I feel strong - not in pain and really sad - as I used to finish my conventional therapy sessions.
I am incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with Nat as thanks to her hypnosis and coaching I am moving on from my trauma and feeling a lot more confident, strong, balanced, worth it and happy.
I feel safe and feel in control of my emotions and past so I can enjoy my present and future. Thank you so much, Nat.”

Talking therapy and medication did not resolve her symptoms
In the first session, Annabel wanted to understand the origin of why she was in so much mental and physical pain. She was depressed, anxious, had panic attacks and suicidal thoughts. She was in her thirties and never had a relationship as she found it difficult to trust others or be touched. She had tried talking therapy, EMDR and was on antidepressants without results.
Finding the root of pain, depression, sadness and anxiety
She wanted to know:
How can I stop feeling alone?
How can I empower myself?
How can I learn to trust others?
How can I move on?
In hypnosis, her subconscious revealed childhood abuse that she had no conscious awareness off. Her younger self was still frozen at that traumatic time. We helped her process this trauma, let go of the emotional burden and relocate to the present time so she was safe. In this process Annabel reclaimed her energy and I guided her to clear and heal her energy field.
Pain-free, less anxiety, depression, better sleep in 3 weeks after hypnotherapy
Three weeks after this first session, Annabel reported that the pain in her back was gone, the panic attacks stopped, anxiety reduced by half, and depression reduced from 10 to 7 (on a scale of 1-10). She slept better feeling more refreshed, her family support improved and so did her self-esteem, which rose from -10, in her words to 3.
Gaining confidence and self trust after healing childhood trauma
For 6 months we worked together to increase her confidence, learning to trust herself and her intuition. She learned to speak up for herself and set boundaries. Annabel developed her ability to discern who to trust and allow to support her. We worked on intimacy and consent challenges around being touched, which had been caused by her childhood and sexual trauma. She learned energetic tools to stop feeling drained or hijacked by the emotions of others. She learned how to deeply listen to herself, learn to trust her intuition and establish inner harmony with her internal parts.
Inner child therapy changes the story in your head
I guided Annabel to heal herself with inner child therapy. This creative process helped her integrate the trauma, by literally editing the visuals in her head. See her illustration that shows her flashbacks of black and white shadows in a room feeling depressed and lonely. After a hypnotherapy session, she drew a colourful happy playroom where she hangs out with her younger parts. She wrote: “Thank you for all your help healing my past and helping me start to live in my present.”
Gaining love, self-esteem and a better job
Annabel found a partner for the first time in her life. He is a great support to her, and they live together. She is happy and she is now standing up for herself and her needs. She has left her underpaid job for a new job with better pay and qualified as a teacher.
Happy without anti-depressant medication
Did the therapy results last? I asked Annabel. She responds: “You take it with you forever. I still use the exercises and tools you taught me. I draw and write my thoughts and feelings in my journal. My self-esteem is still strong.
My workplace tried to blame me for an incident and I would not allow it. I said no it is not my fault. She stopped feeling guilty for things beyond her control.
She shares she has gradually come off her anti-depressant medication as she feels happy. Suicidal thoughts haunted her when she first started her 6-month program with me more than two years ago. Now she feels happy where she is in life.
