About Me

I’m Bonnie, and I know first-hand what it means to rebuild your life from the inside out.

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to become a hypnotherapist.

My path began long before I ever trained — shaped by real experiences, real adversity, and the deep understanding that healing has to be both compassionate and powerful.

I settled down young and became a mother of four, navigating births that ranged from straightforward to deeply traumatic. After my first baby, I spent ten days in hospital recovering from surgery. My third birth was so frightening that I genuinely believed I might not survive it, let alone do it again.

As the years went on, for many reasons, I realised I had outgrown my first marriage. I wanted more — not in a material sense, but more life, more purpose. We divorced, and I began training as a counsellor. Eventually, I remarried.

What followed was emotional abuse that slowly stripped away my confidence and sense of self. The night we separated, the police removed him from the house after he assaulted both me and my son.

After that, I didn’t just feel lost — I had lost myself.

I genuinely didn’t know what I liked, who I was, or what I wanted. And yet, despite everything, a small part of me refused to stay broken. I knew I needed to rebuild — and I needed to discover who I truly was. I found myself drawn into the care sector: children’s homes, hostels, mental health services, drug and alcohol support, and youth justice. This rebuilt my self-worth and my belief in myself, piece by piece.

Along the way, I found hypnosis.

And for the first time in years, the fear left my body. Not “managed,” not “coping” — it lifted. I felt lighter, safer, and more myself than I had in a very long time. And I knew: If this could change my life, it was going to become my life’s work.

So I trained. I went deep. And I kept learning.

Today, I use a powerful combination of:

Hypnotherapy

IEMT

The BLAST Technique

The Swan

My sessions are designed to create deep, gentle transformation — and most clients feel noticeably lighter after the first session.

My intention is simple: To make trauma healing accessible, compassionate, and powerful — for anyone who’s tired of simply coping.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Hypnotherapy

  • Hypnotherapy guides you into a trance-like state of deep relaxation and focused attention, making the subconscious mind more open to positive suggestions that can help change thoughts, feelings, or behaviours.

  • Absolutely not. You're fully aware and in control—you can hear everything, decline suggestions, and stop at any time. You can speak, move, decline suggestions, or end the session anytime.

  • No. Hypnosis requires your consent, and you can always emerge from a trance; there are no cases of people being “stuck. You must be willing, and you always retain full power to exit.

  • It’s like a deep daydream or mental focus. Many describe it as a deep daydream or meditative state—relaxed, time-dilated, deeply focused—similar to being absorbed in a film or craft.

  • Most people who are willing and can focus can be hypnotised.

  • Generally very safe. Rarely, people experience mild headache or grogginess. It's not advised without care in severe psychiatric conditions and should be done by qualified practitioners.

  • Common uses include anxiety, stress, phobias, pain management, IBS, sleep issues, quitting smoking, confidence, depression, PTSD, habit change—even IBS relief shows up to 70% improvement.

About IEMT

  • Integral eye movement therapy (IEMT) is a type of psychotherapy that uses precise eye movements to assist clients in processing and releasing emotional trauma, unpleasant emotions, and firmly held beliefs. It is an innovative approach in the field of psychological therapies that draws on both the principles of eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) and the concept of cognitive restructuring.

  • IEMT can help a broad range of individuals, including those struggling with:

    PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), phobias and fears, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem or self-worth, anger and frustration, limiting beliefs or negative thought patterns, grief and loss.

    While IEMT is most typically used to treat emotional trauma and psychological suffering, it can also be utilised to increase performance, such as breaking through mental barriers in sports or business.

  • Both Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) use eye movements as a therapeutic tool, but they differ in their focus and approach.

    IEMT is often used to address a broader range of issues, including emotional patterns and self-perception, while EMDR is primarily used for processing traumatic memories.
