Transforming Lives: My Journey from Cancer Survivor to Hypnotherapy Expert
In 1996, a pivotal moment reshaped my entire existence. The diagnosis of Papillary Cancer, a type of thyroid cancer, was presented to me. Dubbed the ‘gentler’ form of cancer, it was paradoxically a beacon of hope amidst the fear and uncertainty. Facing this life-altering challenge, I made a solemn vow: to survive and dedicate my life to aiding others, despite feeling overwhelmed and isolated at the time.
A New Chapter in Australia
The turning point came in 2011, when life’s unpredictable currents swept me along to Brisbane, Australia. This move was prompted by my partner’s career opportunity—a chance that felt like a serendipitous invitation to explore a land I had always dreamt of. Shortly after arriving, I found myself working closely with the CEO of Santos, marking the beginning of an extraordinary chapter.
Australia’s advanced healthcare system opened new horizons for me. A $99.00 weekend course on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) caught my eye, and without hesitation, I embraced the opportunity. This initial encounter with NLP ignited a passion that led me to delve deeper into the discipline, culminating in participation in an advanced course and a specialised programme designed to assist smokers in quitting.
The Journey into Hypnotherapy
My curiosity and hunger for knowledge didn’t stop there. By 2013, life had whisked us away to Seoul, South Korea. Faced with the limitation of not having a working visa, I seized the opportunity to pursue a diploma in Hypnotherapy and Coaching. This decision was not just a career move; it was a step towards discovering the transformative power of hypnosis in healing the mind by altering brainwave states.
Discovering BWRT in Dubai
The adventure continued, and in 2016, Dubai became our new home. It was here that I encountered Terence Watts and his innovative Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT). Watts’s groundbreaking approach to rewiring the brain quickly and efficiently captivated me, offering a method that could facilitate profound changes without the need for clients to disclose their innermost issues. Eager to explore this further, I embarked on a journey to master BWRT, completing Level 3 and numerous other courses under Watts’s tutelage.
A Mission Rooted in Personal Growth and Healing
My life’s journey has been enriched by a deep-seated interest in philosophy, the arts, healing, and spirituality. These pillars have shaped my mission: to assist individuals in uncovering their authentic selves, liberating them from the shackles of limitations, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. Whether through hypnotherapy or BWRT, my goal is to facilitate the manifestation of desires and needs, guiding others towards a path of fulfillment and self-discovery.
With a heart full of love and a commitment to healing, I am here to support your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself. Let us embark on this journey together, where transformation is not just a possibility but a promise.
Sincerely,
Kim
Kim is so much more than BWRT & Hypnotherapy; she is expert at a range of therapies and can adapt the therapy she is providing to suit the client’s needs. Kim can also draw on an in-depth knowledge of a range of mental health conditions and is conversant with alternative therapies.
My own experience with Kim in this respect is that she quickly identified that I may be suffering with an underactive Thyroid gland. The standard blood test did not meet the NHS criteria, so my GP concluded that my thyroid function was okay. Kim recommended that undertake a private test (not expensive) that goes more in-depth than the standard NHS test. The result confirmed that my thyroid was underactive; my GP agreed and placed me on medication that had a beneficial effect within one week.
It was down to Kim’s knowledge and tenacity that I have made this progress. Kim has a range of tools at her disposal and I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their mental health.
Therapy serves as a guiding light through the vicissitudes of life, offering individuals a safe and supportive space to navigate the ever-changing tides of their experiences. It provides valuable tools to cope with life’s challenges, whether they be personal, relational, or emotional.
Therapy, particularly through modalities like BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT) and hypnosis, offers a powerful and targeted approach to navigating the vicissitudes of life. BWRT allows individuals to rewire subconscious thought patterns, enabling them to respond more effectively to life’s ups and downs. It equips you with tools to address underlying issues that may exacerbate the impact of life’s challenges, helping you to regain emotional balance and resilience.
Hypnosis, on the other hand, offers a deep exploration of the subconscious mind, where many entrenched beliefs and reactions to life’s uncertainties reside. By accessing this realm, individuals can reframe their responses to stress, anxiety, and adversity, fostering a greater sense of control and adaptability.
Together, BWRT and hypnosis provide a holistic therapeutic approach that empowers individuals to not only weather life’s changes but also thrive and grow in the face of them, ultimately achieving a more balanced and harmonious existence.
