WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:

It has all been successful at my end. I haven’t bitten my nails since I saw you and as you rightly pointed out I don’t even think about it now. T - Nov 2019

As far as the process has gone for me it has been freeing. I’m free of obsessing over food, free of the guilt and sadness when I eat. I no longer see eating as an emotional outlet or a way to hide my feelings. I feel less stressed and happier. The steps you have given me are small but make the largest changes in both my mental and physical health. Admitting I had a problem with food was difficult but having you there to guide me on the first steps of my journey has been the most important thing, being shown I don’t have to follow restrictive diets to get to a happier state. Being more than just a hypnotist you have been my best motivator. Honestly I couldn’t be more proud of myself. J - Sept 2019

I have been sticking to mindful eating for the most part – a few celebrations also happened, but learning on where I go wrong helps a lot to do better next time. And it does feel uncomfortable after overeating. I cant believe I never noticed it before. Works best when there is no food around to start with, but I don’t live in a bubble, so working on it. Weight loss is at 3.6 kg to date, so 36% of goal achieved. The one minute breathing also helps and I have incorporated this into my day. Sleeping much better and resting heart rate is down 4 beats per minute! It has not been this low since I started the fit bit around 20 months ago. A - August 2019

After trying to lose weight unsuccessfully for over 10 years I saw Kim's post on Facebook. I am very skeptical and like to be in control, so I was not sure about hypnosis... However, I decided to give the VGB a try as it was different from "diet and exercise" which had not worked for me. Going through the process I was surprised how many unconscious habits affected my eating. I learnt to establish new patterns of behaviour regarding food and experiment with changes that worked for me. Kim is very supportive and non-judgmental. The weight loss is almost a by-product of managing eating habits and stress levels. So I now feel much lighter and more relaxed and confident to make other changes in my life.

I first met Kim in October 2017 when I suffered a major panic attack. I spent 6 days in hospital then was sent home with a bottle of lorezapam. I decided to find an alternative to a bottle of pills and that's when I found Kim. With one session she immediately took the chest pain away and taught me the tools to control my anxiety. I went to see in July 2019 to help me with my weight. We did the Virtual Gastric band sessions. I was very happy with the outcome after 3 weeks. I lost 1.6 kgs and it was effortless, change in mindset, being in control, eating healthier and enjoying what you eat. Awareness, feeling better about yourself and being happy. Thank you Kim for your presence, grace expertise and knowledge and friendship. Marie 2019

'Kim is very professional and provides an excellent service in a peaceful and non judgmental setting. As a fellow health professional, I have been really impressed with the results that we have achieved. I have had 25 years of a habitual hair pulling condition (Trichotillomania) after a bereavement. I had resigned myself to never being 'cured' of this embarrassing condition that gave me bald patches on my head. I had tried so hard to do it myself with various strategies over this time but nothing worked. Within a few sessions, I stopped pulling and felt such a difference in other aspects of my life - improved relationships at home and at work. Less anxiety, improved self esteem and a feeling of calm in my life. Nearly four months on and I am still not pulling my hair. I am incredibly grateful and cannot advocate hypnotherapy with Kim enough!' Thanks Kim. P - July 2019

I’m doing really well. I’m now 74.2 kg as of last Friday. I’m trying to only weigh myself once a week but I’m so excited to have lost over 5 kg now and I’m fitting clothes I haven’t worn for a while.  I’m resisting the urge to eat when I get emotional and have been tested a lot in the last week. I really wanted some chocolate and one day I did buy a small bar but I really didn’t enjoy it so haven’t done that again. I’ll keep you updated!  Thanks so much for helping me in this journey to lose the weight and change my habits. Jill

Following gastric bypass surgery last year I was concerned about slipping back into bad eating habits especially with a holiday coming up then 6 weeks off post surgery for a different issue. I was worried I'd put back all the weight I'd lost.  It seemed fortuitous therefore when I saw Kim's ad on my Facebook feed and decided to take charge of my crappy eating habits and see if I could do something about it. Upon meeting Kim, she was warm, inviting and calming.  It was amazing to hear I have the same fears, insecurities and concerns about my eating habits as many others.  I had 3 sessions with Kim, the environment was warm and relaxed and I felt at ease. 
Obviously there's no magic wand to make all your issues disappear but she provides the tools for you to move forward and make good choices when it comes to food.  In addition the audio files are really helpful in reiterating what has been discussed in the sessions and are a good source to use over and over again.  If I need topping up, so to speak, I know that she is just an email or phone call away to provide support as I continue with my weight loss journey.

I have learnt so much about myself and my eating habits and it has certainly been a journey. I had no idea what to expect and it was different to what I thought it might be. It is not a magical wand that will just stop you from eating, but to learn about how and why you eat and to stop and take the time to enjoy and taste your food all over again was fantastic. You were awesome to work with on this journey of mine and I will definitely keep you in mind for other matters I would like to work on. Thank you, I really enjoyed my experience.  Jo

 I came to see Kim at the beginning of summer because I was dreading the ‘festive season’ which for me has always been an excuse to pile on the weight and then have to spend the rest of the year trying to get rid of it – I was so over it and sick of my life being spent obsessing about diets and food. The sessions focused on mindful eating which made such sense to me and I found myself eating differently.  I hit my target weight, but to be honest it was even more exciting that I could go out to parties or barbecues and not even be tempted by the food that was all around me – amazing! I’ve never been able to trust myself like this before - I can’t believe that I am now so relaxed about food and for the first time ever I can see this continuing.  Life changing!

 Kicking a habit of a lifetime – thank you Kim! After years of habitual almost daily drinking I realised something had to change. My drinking wasn’t heavy, but it was affecting my sleep and I really was unhappy with how that desire to have a drink was such a constant urge come five o’clock. My sessions with Kim were hugely beneficial, it was as if I was going on a journey right into my subconscious and readjusting the mindset. The results also were immediate. Initially I was very aware of this shift, but with time, not thinking about drinking has become my normal. I am so happy to know I can now have a drink if I want one, which I occasionally do, but that it has become an utterly unimportant part of my life. Mae

 I first discovered Kim and her page Mindful Hypnosis on Facebook.  For some reason it kept popping up on my news feed.  What she was offering was exactly what I was looking for - to be more mindful of my eating and incorporating mindfulness into my everyday life.  I thought long and hard about this and decided on paying for the virtual gastric band package.  This package gave me four sessions with Kim and taught me how to be mindful as well as the all-important gastric band.  Kim is warm, loving, gentle and attentive to your needs. My first session with her was very emotional but most rewarding.  Hypnosis itself feels like quality relaxation.  It is lovely, dream like and you are aware of all that is going on around you.  You can move if you want to, you are just so relaxed that you cannot be bothered!  Kim incorporated my virtual gastric band into my first session and on the way home I was amazed to discover that the ‘indigestion’ I thought I was feeling was actually my band!  Upon eating lunch, I felt that tightness of the band and couldn’t finish my sandwich.  It is such a satisfying feeling to be free of hunger.  Each further appointment with Kim touched on the band and any struggles I was having.  She would then tailor my session to help me in whatever was needed at the time.  During my time with her I was delighted to find that I was slowly (and safely) losing kilos and I was gaining more self love and acceptance.  This change in me has had a ripple affect in my family.  They love the new (relaxed) me and my children have been watching and learning and incorporating their own mindfulness into everyday life.   Thank you Kim. I also wanted to let you know how much I love that second recording you had sent me.  I enjoy it a lot.  I particularly like the end where you let me have a ‘moment’ to reflect and dream.  The music is beautiful and very easy to relax to.

 I’m still not sure how this hypnosis works (being a bit of a skeptic at first) but I know I enjoyed the sessions a lot and I felt more relaxed than I have in years! It felt pretty strange but I started thinking and behaving differently, much calmer and supportive of myself. Kim said she hears this all the time and in the end it doesn’t really matter how you make change so long as you do. I agree it’s been amazing so much calmer in my life and I don’t spend my days letting my thoughts get in the way of life but take time out every day to just get back in the present – thank you this has been such a great skill to have.

Hi Kim, just wanted to let you know that I finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself for the first time in a long time and I’ve now lost 12 kgs!!! Thank you so so much for helping get me here. Anna
