Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful and evidence-based method for creating meaningful change by working with the subconscious mind — the part of the brain where core beliefs, protective patterns and long-held emotional responses are stored. This is where true transformation begins.
🍃Rather than relying solely on conscious insight or willpower, Hypnotherapy helps shift the very patterns that drive our behaviour beneath the surface. Using therapeutic techniques grounded in neuroscience, it allows for realignment on a cognitive, emotional and physiological level — gently restoring balance where stress, trauma or negative self-perception have taken hold.
In everyday life, we operate mostly from the beta brainwave state — a heightened, analytical mode that can often tip into anxiety or mental fatigue. Hypnosis gently guides the brain into the alpha and theta states — the same slower rhythms experienced during deep meditation or just before sleep. As your brain shifts into alpha or theta state, your conscious mind begins to soften its grip, and your awareness turns inward, allowing you to become less distracted by the outside world and more attuned to your inner experience. In these slower rhythms, the subconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to therapeutic suggestion. The protective filters of the critical mind relax, allowing new perspectives, insights and possibilities to take root more easily — allowing for deeper integration and rewiring.
From this place of calm focus, hypnotherapy helps to bypass resistance and rewire long-held thought loops — shifting unhelpful patterns at the source. Hypnotherapy is clinically recognised for its effectiveness in addressing a range of issues, including: anxiety, chronic stress, phobias and fears (e.g. flying, driving, public speaking), low self-esteem and inner conflict, sleep issues and nervous system dysregulation, habits and compulsions or emotional burnout or trauma recovery.
With personalised therapeutic guidance and carefully crafted suggestions tailored to your goals, hypnotherapy supports your brain in forming new neural pathways — ones that reinforce calm, confidence and clarity. These sessions are not only deeply relaxing, but also profoundly recalibrating, helping the nervous system reset and allowing space for new, more empowering responses to emerge.
When your thoughts change, your neural pathways begin to rewire. Your nervous system recalibrates. And new possibilities unfold — from the inside out.🍃
🍃Each session begins by guiding you into a state of deep relaxation and focused attention. This is typically achieved through a combination of calming breathwork, gentle verbal cues and visualisation techniques — all designed to signal safety to the body and initiate a parasympathetic — rest and restore — response in the nervous system.
As your brain shifts into alpha or theta state, your conscious mind begins to soften its grip, and your awareness turns inward, allowing you to become less distracted by the outside world and more attuned to your inner experience.
From this calm and receptive space, I offer targeted, supportive suggestions tailored to your unique goals and challenges — whether that’s to release emotional tension, overcome fears, increase motivation, or reconnect with your inner confidence.
Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level — where deep-seated core beliefs, unprocessed emotions and protective behavioural patterns are deeply held. By accessing this level of mind, we can gently interrupt old loops, release outdated programming, and create more adaptive and empowering internal pathways. In this way, hypnotherapy often support more rapid and lasting transformation than conscious-level intervention alone.
You are always in control. Despite popular misconceptions, hypnosis is not a form of mind control. You remain conscious, aware and able to stop the process at any time. Most clients describe the experience as deeply peaceful, insightful and empowering — similar to a guided meditation, but with a clear therapeutic intention.
Many people notice meaningful shifts after just one session — feeling lighter, clearer, more emotionally free and aligned within themselves. For others, transformation unfolds gradually over a series of sessions, as the mind and body continue to integrate and rewire in response to the new internal landscape being formed.
Hypnotherapy is an incredibly effective, rapid, versatile and powerful therapeutic tool — it’s a reminder that the mind can change, the nervous system can heal and lasting transformation is absolutely possible…when we begin working from the inside out.🍃

What People Are Saying
Each journey at The Healing Sanctuary is unique — and I’m honoured by the trust my clients place in me. Here are some of the reflections they’ve generously shared from our time together.
“Tanya’s HYPNOTHERAPY sessions have been a profound part of my healing journey. As someone with trauma in my past, I’ve often found it hard to relax or trust people. But with Tanya, I felt deeply safe and seen. She guided me through the process with such care, helping me release old patterns and connect with parts of myself I’d forgotten. It wasn’t just relaxation — it was repair. I feel more whole now and more hopeful than I’ve felt in years.”
“What I appreciated most was Tanya’s ability to integrate the science behind the subconscious with a deeply intuitive and supportive approach. I was dealing with a confidence crisis that was affecting my work and personal life. HYPNOTHERAPY with Tanya helped me quiet the mental noise, reframe my inner narrative and build new neural pathways grounded in clarity and strength. The impact has been lasting. It’s like I’m operating from a different level now — one that actually serves me. “
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from HYPNOTHERAPY, but I felt safe the moment I stepped into Tanya’s clinic. Her voice, her presence, everything about the session allowed me to finally relax — like, really relax — in a way I hadn’t in years. We worked through the roots of my anxiety and self-doubt and something just clicked. I left feeling lighter, clearer and more in tune with myself. It’s hard to put into words, but something deep within me shifted — and that shift is still unfolding in the most beautiful way.”
“I came to Tanya wanting to quit smoking after years of failed attempts. Her HYPNOTHERAPY sessions were nothing like I expected — they were calm, focused and surprisingly powerful. She helped me get to the core of why I was smoking and gently rewired the patterns that were keeping me stuck. Two sessions done and I’ve now been smoke-free for over a month. More than that, I feel clearer in my thinking and more in control overall. Highly recommend.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful method that supports change at the subconscious level — where long-held beliefs, behavioural patterns and emotional responses are deeply stored.
Using calming breathwork and guided relaxation techniques, we guide your brain into either an alpha or theta brainwave state — the same state experienced during deep meditation or just before sleep. In this relaxed and receptive space, the protective filters of the critical mind soften, and your subconscious becomes more open to suggestion, insight and emotional recalibration.
Rather than forcing change through willpower alone, Hypnotherapy allows your nervous system to reset and your brain to form new neural pathways — so you can begin to respond to life with greater calm, confidence and clarity.
The number of sessions depends on what you’re working through and how deeply the pattern is rooted. While some clients experience a meaningful shift after just one session, most benefit from a series of 2 to 4 sessions to allow the changes to fully integrate and take root at a subconscious level.
Issues like phobias, performance anxiety or sleep disturbances may shift more quickly, whereas deeper patterns — such as long-standing self-worth issues, emotional trauma, or weight loss — often require a more layered approach. This is because we’re not just treating symptoms — we’re rewiring neural pathways, softening the nervous system’s stress response and upgrading subconscious beliefs. Each session builds on the last, creating greater clarity, inner stability and emotional freedom over time.
We’ll always work at your pace and together we’ll determine what feels right for your needs. There’s no pressure — only support, insight and space for lasting transformation.
Yes — Hypnotherapy is especially effective in helping to calm the nervous system, release emotional tension and shift patterns of overthinking or overwhelm.
Many of the symptoms we associate with anxiety or burnout — racing thoughts, fatigue, insomnia, irritability — stem from subconscious stress loops and unresolved emotional patterns that live beneath the surface. In session, we bypass conscious resistance and gently guide the mind and body into a state where these patterns can be safely acknowledged, softened and rewired. Over time, this process helps create a new internal landscape — one that feels more grounded, emotionally resilient and deeply supportive of your wellbeing.
Weight loss challenges are often about more than food or willpower — they’re connected to subconscious beliefs, emotional associations and protective behaviours stored beneath the surface.
Hypnotherapy can help uncover and release these deeper drivers — whether it’s stress eating, low self-worth, inner conflict or the fear of change itself. Through personalised, goal-oriented sessions, we gently rewire the patterns that have been getting in the way and install new, empowering beliefs that support long-term change.
For sustainable results, 3 to 4 sessions are typically recommended, as this gives your mind and body time to integrate the shifts and solidify new behaviours. Clients often report not just changes in eating habits, but a renewed sense of motivation, confidence and connection with their body.
Yes, absolutely. Despite common myths, hypnosis is not mind control. You remain fully aware, conscious and in control throughout the session. Most clients describe the experience as deeply peaceful and relaxing — similar to a guided meditation with a clear therapeutic intention.
You’ll never be made to say or do anything against your will. Instead, you’ll be gently guided into a focused, receptive state where your subconscious mind can more easily accept positive, empowering suggestions aligned with your goals.
Many people emerge from a session feeling lighter, clearer and more emotionally free — with subtle but powerful changes continuing to unfold in the days and weeks that follow.
