"I consulted Andrew for weight loss. He helped me to strengthen my willpower to eat more healthily and only to eat when I was actually hungry rather than snacking unnecessarily. I have lost 3kg in 3 weeks."

Personal Development & Performance Enhancement for You, Your Children, Your Team & Your Business
A valued friend and client once said to me "I don't really want to be hypnotized, but I do want the outcome it can give me." There are a lot of other people who think like that too. I know that when hypnosis is mentioned, some part of you will be curious enough to try it, whilst another part of you may want to run away! So rather than tell you about the wonderful power of hypnosis myself, here are some TESTIMONIALS from my valued clients. Their journeys are inspirational, so I will let their words convince you to call me on 04 388 8818 or 021 153 2508
Please note that all TESTIMONIALS are published here with the informed consent of each of my clients. Also, some names have been changed

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Conception & Fertility
After 21/2 years of trying to conceive, having a number of tests which came back saying my partner and I were all OK, I looked to myself and wondered if it was more a mental barrier stopping the miracle of pregnancy occuring. Counting days, then the disappointment of not being pregnant did seem to take its toll after this length of time, and my optimism seemed to diminish month after month.
I was lucky enough to come across Andrew's website, and after having a conversation via the phone, I felt Hypnotherapy was definitely worthwhile to get me in the right head space and visualise myself being a mum. I came out of my first session with Andrew looking at the "glass half full again", and believed it was only a matter of time until I became a mum.
So here we are 5 weeks later, and I'm happy to announce I'm pregnant for the first time, and couldn't be happier!
I'm sure there are a lot of people who have been in the same situation, and as well as being physically ready you need to be emotional, and visualise this happening. I wish you all the best if you are heading down this path, as I look forward to the amazing journey my partner and I now have ahead of us.

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Children - Self-Control
A few weeks ago I took my then 4 year old son to see Andrew as, after researching what Hypnotherapy can achieve for people, I hoped that Andrew would be able to help Dominic realise that he can calm down quickly when things don't go his way. Dominic was an easy baby, but when he turned 18 months old he entered into the so-called "terrible twos" phase. He quickly became prone to long and violent fits of rage when he didn't get his own way. This is normal enough, but what I found frustrating was that Dominic wasn't able to get hold of his emotions once he'd dropped them. Worse was that this behaviour looked set to stay, and as Dom approached 5 years old I felt that I had to do something more constructive to address the situation than simply sending Dominic into time out. Andrew hypnotised him while I was there, and used a series of metaphors to explain to Dominic's subconscious that he did have the ability to control himself more, and that he'd even benefit from doing so, by having a more comfortable and fun life. Almost immediately after the session I could see that he was a more calm and relaxed little boy. This has continued - While Dominic does still have normal tantrums (he's a child after all), what is fantastic for him is that he is able to recover from them far more quickly than before. This has had an enormously positive effect on the whole family. We all of us enjoy life more. Thanks Andrew.

Testimonial: Hypnosis to Stop Smoking
Andrew was able to help me with smoking cessation thru hypnotherapy. He put me at ease from the first moment with him. I found him through word of mouth. He was recommended to me via someone who had used his services. I am smokefree still

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Children - Sleep Issues
We brought Hannah to Andrew because she was having trouble staying asleep and had developed a fear of being in her bedroom alone, this had escalated over time and was affecting not only Hannah's sleep but the whole families. I felt totally comfortable leaving Hannah in Andrew's care and she thoroughly enjoyed her sessions with him. After 3 sessions she was able to go to bed without hysterics and sleep through the night, if she did wake up she was able to go back to sleep. I wouldn't hesitate in putting her through more hypnotherapy if any further issues come up.
Mother, Janine
I close my eyes and hear Andrew gently talk to me. I feel like I'm awake but I'm so relaxed and tired that I could dose forever. It's weird my brain is talking for me and I don't do anything. The next thing I know Andrew is waking me up and I feel really relaxed and refreshed. Now I go off to bed without being scared and can sleep the whole night without waking up, I even sometimes turned off my light.

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Anger Management, Needle Phobia and Fertility
I know I've achieved a great deal within myself, I feel like I have a window to my soul through my imagination, I'm finally discovering who I am and what makes me happy. I have a long road to go but this is the exciting beginning of possibility and hope. I've been using relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques on myself (which i've learnt from our sessions) for various things, but one of them is to get over my fear of needles, which I've had since I was a child. Well, after weeks of practicising I have put it to the test today, I had my blood test without pain, fear, or any anxiety, actually if you were a fly on the wall you'd never guess I was ever scared of needles. Further proof of the further successes I've gained from the hypnotherapy sessions. I'm looking forward to working with you on Birth by hypnosis, I'm due in early March so would look to start in January, I'll make contact then.

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Public Speaking and Workplace Presentations
Just following up on the session you provided me a couple of Sundays ago. I can confirm my presentation went very well, flawless perhaps. I must admit however I did experience anxiety prior to it, but obviously something kicked in and it worked. Thanks very much for your giving up your time on the Sunday, it was much appreciated.

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Business Performance Enhancement
I found Andrew to be very calm in disposition and knowledgeable about hypnotherapy. He researched the areas of behaviour I was trying to modify through hypnotherapy deeply and has had a very positive effect on my behaviour. I would have no problems recommending his services to anybody who believes hypnotherapy can help them to achieve more out of life. It is working for me.

Amazing experience, nothing like what I thought it would be. Andrew helped me see positive things in my mind that I would never have have been able to imagine by myself and embed them in my mind

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Weight Management
I felt so relaxed during my session but could hear everything Andrew was saying. My body was relaxed and it was a wonderful experience. The subtle messages that Andrew used were brilliant. I could actually see my future clearly in my mind and it was beautiful. Definitely a bonus to feel this good!

Testimonial: Hypnosis for Addiction to Chocolate
Before Christmas I was having difficulty in losing the last 1.5kg of 5kg. This was mainly due to my chocolate addiction. I had 2 sessions with Andy, and after the first session I didn't want to eat chocolate. I didn't have the compulsion anymore. He was at all times very professional and very reassuring. I now use his techniques to get to sleep at night

Testimonial: Hypnosis for a Phobia of Using Ladders
Having climbed hills and abseiled down buildings without a second thought, I have often wondered how I developed a phobia to going up beyond the third step of a set of ladders. As such, I was immensely grateful to a hypnotherapy colleague who freed me of my phobia in a single session
