I decided to try hypnotherapy because I was suffering from chronic pain that impacted my mental health.
I have to admit I was sceptical but I was recommended to Geraldine by a friend & had tried just about everything so I thought I'd give it a go.
I can honestly say she has transformed my life. Her professional approach, knowledge, skill & kindness made me feel heard & comfortable. My pain has greatly reduced, and I am happy & able to get on with my life. Thank you.

The Good News:
Thankfully, research has shown and now supports hypnotherapy as a highly effective solution for managing chronic pain. It can help you cope better with the emotional responses of your condition by re-focusing the mind and calming down the central nervous system to ease the fear, stress, and anxiety which can exacerbate persistent pain conditions.
During hypnosis, a remarkable process takes place. Neural activity is suppressed, leading to the inhibition of emotional interpretation of pain sensations. This means that the mind becomes less reactive to pain, allowing for better coping mechanisms. Additionally, hypnosis has the ability to deactivate specific areas of the brain that control pain, altering our perception of pain itself.
Furthermore, hypnotherapy has been found to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and rest. By doing so, it reduces the transmission of pain messages to the brain, resulting in a decrease in pain intensity. This can have a profound impact on one's overall well-being.
By helping you achieve a state of deep relaxation and refocusing your mind, hypnotherapy enables you to regain a sense of control over your well-being. It also improves sleep quality, allowing you to wake up with more vitality and positivity. This holistic approach to pain management addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of pain, providing a comprehensive solution for those seeking relief.
