Background
After completing my Ph.D and working as a medical researcher in the field of Immunology and cancer. I felt there was still a gap in our understanding of the human body and how dis-ease manifests itself.
If there was one thing I learned from my experience in the biomedical field. It was the importance and understanding of balance and homeostasis.
The most basic definition for cancer is the ‘dysregulation of normal biological functions’. With the emphasis on ‘normal’ biological functions. I always queried how we transitioned from ‘normal’ to ‘dysregulated’.
From my studies I learned and realised how our bodies, our cells, and our chemical signals all worked in synergy under a homeostatic balance. If that delicate balance was disrupted, it would lead to dysregulation of normal functions and the potential for the on-set of disease.
This posed more questions, if we can disrupt this delicate balance to manifest disease. Therefore we must be able to promote repair and balance toward normal biological functions. Ultimately, leading to a more regulated and balanced system between the mind and body.
I eventually left research because I felt there was more to learn and understand. In other words, there was more to the basic idea of biological and genetic factors being the main source of producing disease.
Through my own personal tragedies and experiences. I continued my journey to discover more about the mind and its affects on the human body and its role in disease. When I came across clinical hypnotherapy, my experiences opened my eyes to see one of the many crucial pieces in understanding the connection between the human body and disease.
My intention is to provide and serve a holistic and integrative approach (together with biomedical sciences, medical intuition and Hypnoenergetics®) of clinical hypnotherapy. And foster the many beneficial benefits of hypnotherapy for your health and well-being.
More about your local Melbourne hypnotherapist
-
I am a big believer in holistic methods. Coming from a medical research background in Cancer and Immunology. The immune system demonstrated how complex our mind, bodies and biological systems really are. But at the same time how integrated and inter-connected our organs, immune system truly are when it comes to understanding dis-ease and balance.
Even though I am a qualified hypnotherapist, my training and experience from medical research has allowed me to imagine and visualise the human body as a intricate and complex biological system. In other words everything is connected and nothing is separate.
Due to my holistic approach I also combine and take on board other tools that include:
Gestalt Therapy,
Hypnoenergetics®
Ericksonian Hypnotherapy,
Regression Therapy,
Breathwork (Pranayama)
Muscle Testing (Kinesiology tools)
Medical Intuition and Vibrational Medicine (Incorporating intuitive communication, energy healing, sound healing and crystal healing)
With this holistic methodology I believe, it provides a more powerful method of helping you become more grounded, more balanced and providing you with a more solid foundation for healing, recovery and most importantly to overcome your struggles.
