I used to think that transformation was all about creating permanent lasting change. I know now that nothing is permanent except change. I don’t believe in accidents; I believe in divine appointments. I have been on a healing journey of transformation that has led me to think that every challenge I’ve faced and every setback and obstacle I’ve had to overcome is a guiding force carving out the pathway of my destiny. 

Maybe that sounds a little “woo woo” to you, but…

I can guarantee there will come a time when you’re down and out and feel like you’ve tried everything but surrender to the possibility that the universe is conspiring for you, not against you. Everything starts to shift once you change that core belief! At least, that’s what happened to me. 

Life often has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, guiding us toward our true purpose. My journey into the world of hypnotherapy is a testament to this truth. Starting as a passionate yoga teacher and travelling the globe to conduct yoga retreats, life took a twist when I faced a back injury that changed the course of my career.

Now this is the story all about how I transitioned from being a yoga teacher and massage therapist to becoming a dedicated hypnotherapist, helping individuals unlock their inner potential and find healing from within.

The Early Days as a Yoga Teacher:

My fascination with the art of yoga began in my early twenties when I attended a local yoga class to manage stress and find balance in life. As I immersed myself in the practice, I discovered not only the physical benefits but also the profound impact it had on my mental and emotional well-being. The transformative power of yoga captivated me, and I knew that I wanted to share this gift with others.

I embarked on a journey to become a certified yoga teacher. Through rigorous training and practice, I honed my skills and eventually started leading yoga retreats in picturesque locations around the world. The joy of witnessing my students connect with their bodies and minds was immensely gratifying, and I knew I had found my calling.

The Transition to Massage Therapy:

As my yoga journey flourished, I became increasingly curious about complementary healing modalities. This curiosity led me to delve into the world of massage therapy. Learning various massage techniques not only expanded my skillset but also enabled me to offer a more holistic approach to my students and clients.

For years, I thrived as a yoga teacher and massage therapist, content with the path I had chosen. However, life had other plans for me, and an unforeseen back injury brought everything to a screeching halt.

The Turning Point:

That back injury left me physically restricted and emotionally drained. Despite trying numerous conventional therapies, my healing process seemed to stagnate. It was during this challenging period that I discovered the power of hypnotherapy as a potential solution to my predicament.

Being open to alternative healing methods, I decided to give hypnotherapy a chance. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Through hypnosis, I tapped into my subconscious mind, uncovering hidden beliefs and emotional blocks that were hindering my recovery. With each session, I felt a profound sense of release and empowerment.

The Birth of a New Calling:

My personal experience with hypnotherapy not only accelerated my physical healing but also sparked a new passion within me. I became determined to help others harness the incredible power of their minds to heal and transform their lives.

Driven by this newfound purpose, I embarked on a rigorous journey of learning and training to become a certified hypnotherapist. Drawing from my background in yoga and massage therapy, I integrated various techniques to offer a unique and comprehensive approach to hypnotherapy.

The Transition Process:

The transition from being a yoga teacher and massage therapist to a hypnotherapist was not without challenges. Leaving behind what I had known for years was both scary and exhilarating. However, I trusted that this transformation was a part of my greater purpose, and my dedication to helping others was unwavering.

Embracing my new identity, I started offering hypnotherapy sessions to clients who sought guidance in various areas of their lives, including stress management, overcoming fears and addictions, breaking bad habits, and improving overall well-being.

My journey from a yoga teacher and massage therapist to a hypnotherapist has been a remarkable transformation, guided by unexpected twists and turns. Embracing change and being open to new possibilities allowed me to discover my true calling in helping others through hypnotherapy.

As I look back on this incredible journey, I am grateful for the obstacles that steered me toward my life’s purpose. Today, I find fulfillment in empowering my clients to unlock their inner potential and embark on their paths of healing and personal growth, just as I did. Life’s unexpected detours can lead us to the most fulfilling destinations, and mine brought me to the profound world of hypnotherapy.
