I’m Natalie, a Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Carterton, Wairarapa. I underwent my Hypnotherapy training with the NZ School of Professional Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis NZ with additional training from Clinical Hypnosis Australia. I hold additional certifications in children’s hypnotherapy from the NZ School of Prof. Hypnotherapy and the Goulding Sleep Talk Method for parents, Simpson Protocol and Golden Thread technique from Hypnosis NZ. I am a certified Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapist. I hold numerous qualifications, am highly experienced in a range of hypnosis techniques and am a member of Hypnosis New Zealand which means I have chosen to be bound by strict guidelines pertaining to safe hypnotherapy practices.

I am a Mindfulness facilitator certified by Mindfulness in NZ and am trained in Transcendental Meditation for which I received a scholarship to undertake their training programme due to my Masters thesis at Victoria University in 2014 on the effects of large-scale meditation on global conflict. My study also looked into the effects of constructs of the mind that have been disproven to exist (time and space, for example) and why they are central justifications for war when, in fact, they do not exist outside of our minds. You may view my research into the large-scale effects of trauma in the International Review here: <https://www.jstor.org/stable/48551466>

The techniques I use are a combination of tried and true hypnosis practices, traditional methods of trauma healing passed down through societies, and the latest developments in trauma research.

I have an insatiable interest in trauma and the mental, physical and emotional blockers we have to healing. I draw on both the latest research in trauma healing and studies of trauma-healing across generations to devise a personal treatment plan with the ultimate goal of healing trauma stuck in both the mind and body.

All of you is welcome here. I see the uniqueness and beauty in everyone in all stages of their journey without judgement.
