Chronic Pain is like a fire alarm that has not been shut off; you have received the message that there is a problem, sought help or allowed enough time for healing to occur however the neural pathways that are sending the pain message from the brain are still active. The OldPain2Go™ process is a fast and effective technique that recalibrates those neural systems and resets your internal alarm system, so that it can be alert to warn you of new danger.
I am a certified practitioner of OldPain2Go and in my first training session, let go of trapped nerve pain in my elbow, arthritic pain in my wrist and fingers and 25 year old knee pain!

A single session of Hypnotherapy has been shown to impact not only beliefs and feelings positively but alter the expression of 15 genes that enhance stem cell activity and reduce cellular stress and inflammation. (Rossi et al, 2008)
Emotional Freedom Technique, (EFT) combines the tapping of acupressure points with the fingers and elements of mindfulness, exposure therapy, EMDR and self hypnosis. EFT has recently been shown in a pilot study to regulate over 70 genes involved in immune function, tumour supression, insulin regulation and inflammation in just a single session. (Maharaj, M. E. 2016)
Hypnosis and EFT have been shown in clinical trials to be effective in reducing the symptoms and severity of many inflammatory bowel diseases. For a deeper understanding of how the hypnotic process can support you, please refer to these case studies on MS, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis,

As an OldPain2Go practitioner, I have witnessed many people change their lives in 1-3 sessions. More video testimonials from around the world can be accessed here
Many people with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) find hypnotherapy a supportive and effective way to ease their symptoms. Research has shown that hypnotherapy can help with movement difficulties, fainting spells and seizures—sometimes working as well as other treatments like physiotherapy or medication. A systematic review found that adding hypnosis and suggestion to treatment often leads to better outcomes for FND clients (Connors et al., 2022). In one clinical trial, clients who received hypnotherapy as part of their care showed greater improvements in their symptoms compared to those who had standard treatment alone (Moene et al., 2002) and improvements were sustained at a 6 month follow-up.
Hypnotherapy works by calming and “resetting” the brain’s neural pathways that control movement, sensation, and awareness. In FND, the brain is not damaged, but the way it sends and receives signals can become disrupted, leading to real and distressing symptoms. Hypnosis helps the brain enter a calm, highly focused state where new connections can be formed and old, unhelpful patterns can be rewired. This process can reduce the “faulty signals” that trigger symptoms, helping the brain and body work together more smoothly. Over time, many clients notice improvements in their ability to move, feel more in control, and experience fewer symptoms as the nervous system learns healthier patterns.
In your first session with me you will learn self-hypnosis and acupressure techniques that will calm your nervous system and help create new neural pathways for triggers so that you can begin to manage symptoms at home. You will also experience a gentle hypnosis session, listening to me either with your eyes open or closed that will begin the process of re setting your bodies reaction to triggers and stress. Research has shown that up to 8 sessions can be beneficial with around 85% of clients reporting improvements in their physical and psychological wellbeing. As symptoms can escalate, it is beneficial to begin hypnosis sessions early, however even those with debilitating symptoms can experience rapid improvement.

For most people, a diagnosis of cancer results in feelings of shock, anxiety, overwhelm, disbelief and grief, releasing a cascade of stress hormones throughout the body which in turn can disrupt sleep and lead to adrenal fatigue, placing even more stress on recovery. I can support you and your loved ones to come to terms with your diagnosis and release the intense feelings and emotional triggers around relationships, hospitals, treatments and outcomes and provide hypnotherapy audios to aid sleep, boost healing and relieve discomfort.
Many people report nausea, fatigue and pain whilst undergoing cancer treatments. Hypnotherapy and Tapping (EFT) have been clinically shown to reduce nausea, fatigue and pain at this time. More recently, studies have also shown that Hypnotherapy and EFT boost immune function through regulating gene expression. (see research below) Reiki Healing is also available to support the relaxation response and immune system. Reiki is a complementary therapy available in cancer hospitals around the world.
A review of clinical trials showed that " hypnosis may help treat symptoms of nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients, manage pain in a variety of contexts, and also reduce levels of anxiety and overall distress around surgical and medical procedures, both in children and adults. Emerging research shows promise for treating hot flashes in women with breast cancer." -The role of Hypnosis in Cancer Care, L.Carlson et al, 2017. In one study the hypnotherapy group had a significantly higher frequency of days where positive feelings were greater than negative (85% of days versus 43% of days for the Control group). Postoperative complications and hospitalizations for the hypnotic intervention group are significantly shorter than the norm. Emotional Freedom Technique, (EFT) combines the tapping of acupressure points with the fingers and elements of mindfulness, exposure therapy, EMDR and self hypnosis. EFT has recently been shown in a pilot study to regulate over 70 genes involved in immune function, tumour supression, insulin regulation and inflammation in just a single session. (Maharaj, M.
