I began using hypnosis in 1999 when my youngest son was a year old. At that time he was covered in ezema and naturally didn't sleep well at night as he was so itchy. My husband and I used to get up to him between 6 and 9 times every night to help him in his distress, and this nightly routine of very broken sleep went on for three years. I have an older son too, who was a very bright and busy toddler and naturally wanted my full attention during the day, regardless of the amount of sleep I'd had. I began to use self-hypnosis to help me get through each day - soon realising the amazing benefits that hypnosis can bring. I quickly felt quite rested after each hypnosis session and also much less stressed.

When my boys were in high school, I decided I wanted to take the best hypnotherapy training available so that I could help others benefit from hypnosis too. I trained at the University of London with a Harley Street practitioner in 2009, gaining my Diploma in Hypnotherapy (and Smoking Cessation Specialist Certificate). I am registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) in the UK, and the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) in the USA.

I have my own clinic in Diss, Norfolk, England where I see clients on a one-to-one basis and help with a variety of issues, but I specialise in stress, anxiety and depression, along with weight loss and smoking cessation.
