Welcome To HeadHeartHealing

I believe that our actions or decisions are often made with our Heads (conscious minds) but our Hearts (subconscious minds) are not always in agreement… which often leads to conflict, self sabotage and illness.

We often make decisions with our Heads

I offer one-on-one, private consultations in a supportive and safe environment, to assist you to identify what is holding you back, so that you can be more of who you truly are.

Past Life Regression

Personalized, highly confidential consultations for:

Academic / athletic performance

With hypnosis, the subconscious mind is able to easily experience how it feels to achieve your goals ensuring that the conscious mind directs and supports you positively.

Addictions

Hypnosis can reconnect you to that part of you that is not controlled by your addiction. By strengthening and building this vital part, you are empowered to create a more meaningful and satisfying life for yourself.

Anxiety

Hypnosis can assist you to connect and ultimately determine what your unique anxiety triggers are. With the help of your subconscious mind, an alternative reaction to these triggers may be established, levels of anxiety can be significantly reduced enabling you to enjoy a calmer and more fulfilling life.

Bereavement

Hypnosis can assist you to connect to those parts of you that strengthen and guide you so that you can experience inner support during your time of bereavement.

Bullying

Bullying is unfortunately a very stressful and often scary reality for many learners. Hypnosis can assist you to reconnect to your inner strength enabling you to be better empowered in situations where you previously felt helpless.

Confidence

Hypnosis can assist you to connect to what it is that is holding you back from being your confident self! With your own unique inner guidance, you can experience how it feels to be confident and self-assured enabling you to develop and build your own levels of confidence going forward. You will be given confidence enhancing tools to use whenever needed.

Depression

Living a lighter and more fulfilling life becomes achievable when events and / or behaviours that impact on your ability to feel positive thoughts and emotions are identified and dealt with in a gentle, supportive manner.

Eating Challenges

Hypnosis can assist you to connect to that part of you that needs food to experience comfort. When an understanding of this unwanted behavior is established and dealt with, you can once again develop a healthy relationship with food as well as feed your soul in a nurturing, loving manner.

Emotional Upsets

If emotional upsets are impacting on your ability to lead a satisfying life, then hypnosis can assist you to reconnect to that part of you that strengthens and guides you enabling you to navigate life’s ups and downs more easily.

Fears & Phobias

Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source of your fears or phobias so that with this new understanding, alternative reactions to triggers can be established and strengthened.

Guilt Feelings

Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source of your guilt feelings, enabling you to make peace and to let go for once and for all, enabling you to lead a lighter, freer life.

Pain Management

Migraines, lower back ache, inflammatory conditions may be subconscious reactions to stress and repressed emotions. Hypnosis can assist you to connect to the origins of these events so that pain levels can be reduced and managed. You will also be given practical tools for you to use to manage your discomfort whenever needed.

Panic Attacks

Hypnosis can assist you to find an alternative, more productive response to stressors that usually activate your flight and fight response when it is not necessarily needed. Once an alternative response is well developed and strengthened, your “old” response can be weakened to the point that it no longer has the power to control you.

Past Life Regression

We subconsciously carry forward experiences, attitudes, and relationship dynamics from prior lives into our current lifetimes. This can be beneficial, but when upsetting experiences are left unresolved, relationships are left unhealed – attitudes and decisions may be carried forward from a past lifetime which could negatively influence our current experience. Past Life Regression using Hypnosis can assist you to explore and discover your own beliefs about the existence of past-life experiences, and help such experiences to create a more beneficial understanding within yourself.

Public Speaking

At some stage in our lives we will be called upon to speak in public. This can either be an enjoyable or highly fearful experience. Hypnosis can assist you to relax so that you may present your true self in a positive and productive manner. You will be given practical tools to assist you whenever needed.

We all have habits that hold us back in some way. For example procrastination is something that we may experience sometime in our lives. If your unwanted habits are impacting on your ability to lead the life you deserve, then hypnosis can assist you to connect to the source enabling you to establish an alternative, more productive and positive pattern of achievement.

Weight Management

Do you find that you start a new diet with huge enthusiasm only to find that you go back to your old eating patterns every time? It could be that you are making the decision to go on a diet with your Head (conscious mind) but your Heart (subconscious mind) has its own reasons for not agreeing with your decision. A successful, sustainable eating and lifestyle plan is dependent on full understanding and support on a conscious and subconscious level. It is easier than you think – read below a satisfied clients account of her own experience …

– “I have struggled with my weight for most of my life, but especially in the latter years. After much deliberation, I decided to try a dietician in 2010, but subconsciously I was scared of failure even though I badly wanted to shed the weight. I lost 17 kg over a period of year, but it was like a yo yo, the weight going up and down all the time. Eventually I gained all my weight plus more.

In October 2012 I prepared myself for hypnotherapy with Des and there was a bit of apprehension, but also enthusiasm. Des was reassuring right from the start and had a calming effect on me. After two sessions, I felt a complete shift in the processing of my thoughts in terms of healthy eating. I ventured to a dietician and the gym in such a short time, with a positive attitude and no feeling of failure at all. I have never felt this way before and it feels AWESOME! Thank you Des for allowing me to believe in myself again and I will enjoy this journey for the rest of my life!”

About Me

I have been a practicing Hypnotherapist since 2010. My interest in Hypnosis started when I experienced what it felt like to get divorced and discovered that I was drug sensitive and unable to tolerate anti depressants. Desperate and depressed, I investigated alternative therapies and went to see a Hypnosis Practitioner. I’m happy to say I have never looked back!

I believe that our actions or decisions are often made with our heads (conscious minds) but our hearts (subconscious minds) are not always in agreement which often leads to conflict, self sabotage and illness. I am constantly amazed at how Hypnosis addresses these conflicts in a totally client centered and highly effective manner so that we can be free to lead normal, loving and happy lives.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who struggle with stopping smoking and weight management, as I believe being able to conquer what controls you, is key to your own healing. I also consult clients with other challenges such as early childhood trauma, depression, low self esteem, fears, phobias and insomnia.

Feel free to call or email me for more info.

I look forward to partnering you on your healing journey!
