About

Hypnosis is a narrowing of internal and focal attention which relaxation can be part of. Suggestions are made which allows your subconscious to become receptive to consciously desired changes such as losing weight, reducing anxieties, or quitting smoking.

We often have to fight ourselves to make a change.

Hypnotherapists aim to make positive change easier by reducing internal conflicts.
There are many myths about hypnotherapy. It is important to dispel these before any hypnosis takes place.

You cannot be controlled nor made to do anything against your will.
You have to be receptive to the suggested changes otherwise you’re unlikely to respond.
Motivation is important
Nearly every client says the process is deeply relaxing and stress reducing in it of itself.
According to studies, 90% of people can be hypnotised . When someone ‘can’t’ be, it’s generally due to unnecessary fear. The most important thing to note is that in a therapeutic context, clients are always in control.
I’ve been practising hypnosis and hypnotherapy in a clinical setting for more than 10 years. I initially studied hypnosis at Victoria’s only Government registered hypnotherapy training body, The Academy of Hypnotic Science. I’ve studied under world renowned Psychologist Dr Gordon Emmerson, founder of Ego State Therapy, and Honorary Fellow of Victoria University’s School of Psychology.

I’ve been a professional member of The Australian Hypnotherapist’s Association (The AHA), Australia’s oldest and most prominent Hypnotherapy Association. This membership requires that I undergo regular up to date training, and professional development. All this means really is that I didn’t just do a weekend course to practice hypnosis. Things I’m known for include public speaking hypnosis, and helping people with their particular anxieties.

I am a proud father of two twin boys and I have a beautiful partner who is sick of me leaving hypnosis and psychology books around the house. I am originally from Peru where my beautiful mother still resides.

I love Australia because it is my home. Full of good people, excellent coffee and a wonderful culture. I hope that in the next 10 years more and more people get to know evidence based hypnosis and it’s powerful potential in helping people make positive changes to their lives.
