What is Clinical Hypnosis?

All hypnotic states are characterised by a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, which individuals allow themselves to enter so that desired, beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the part of the mind known as the subconscious. Under hypnosis, the conscious, rational part of the brain is temporarily bypassed, making the subconscious part, which influences mental and physical functions, receptive to therapy. During the trance state there is heightened concentration for the specific purpose of maximising potential, changing limiting beliefs and behaviours and gaining insight and wisdom.

Although hypnosis may be light, medium or deep, a medium trance is usually used during which metabolism, breathing and heartbeat slow and the brain produces alpha waves. Normal states of consciousness i.e. sleeping, dreaming, being awake, can be detected in the wave patterns produced by the brain. The state of hypnosis differs from all three. The brain waves associated with quiet, receptive states are called alpha waves. In alpha states, the body gradually relaxes. Hypnosis, meditation, day dreaming, being absorbed in a book or music or television, driving and arriving at your destination without recalling all the usual landmarks etc. are good examples of alpha states.

Can anyone be hypnotised?

It is a fact that no-one can be hypnotised against their will and even when hypnotised, a person can still reject any suggestion. Thus therapeutic hypnosis is a state of purposeful co-operation.

Is it safe?

Clinical Hypnotherapy means using hypnosis to treat a variety of medical and psychological problems. It is estimated that 85% of people will readily respond to clinical hypnotherapy. It may even succeed where other, more conventional methods of treatment have not produced the desired results. When carried out by a professionally trained and skilled hypnotherapist, the benefits can be long lasting and often permanent. It is natural and safe, with no harmful side effects.

"Nayana is a gifted healer, a wonderful person with a very pleasant manner. I always look forward to my treatments & I never know which ones she will use.

To date I’ve experienced:- Bowen, Acupuncture, EFT, Massage, Life Coaching, Sound Healing, Hypnotherapy, La Stone Massage. They are all good & work on all levels:- physical, mental, emotional & spiritual.

Since receiving treatments from Nayana my life has dramatically changed. I realise now that before knowing her I was existing rather than living. She has ‘woken me up’, but this has brought its own problems that I’m continuing to work through with her help. It is good to know that Nayana is always there if I need her. She always seems to say the right things – even though they are sometimes not what I want to hear. I don’t know where my life is leading me but I know that Nayana is helping me greatly along the way.

The treatment room at Engleton Road is pleasant, unfortunately the last appointment time here is 4 pm.

Update on me
It about 6 months since my last testimonial & my life has continued to change. I’ve now left my job & I’ve even left the country but the latter is only for 3 months. I had a very strong desire to do some voluntary work in South Africa. During my stay in SA, I’ve done some amazing things ‘for me’. I’ve ridden an elephant, a horse, been up in a microlite & driven a quad bike. Life is fun.
It would have been more difficult for me to cope with all the changes in my life without the support & healings from Nayana. I know that I’m doing the right thing for me even though it may seem illogical to others. Nayana helped me to focus on what I wanted & was able to reassure me that I’d made the right decisions.

Over the last 10 years I changed from someone who only used logic to make decisions to some who now uses intuition. The greatest changes have happened during the last year with the help of Nayana.

"Dear Nayana, A few lines to thank you and to inform you how you've changed my life with the Meridian Tapping technique I received from you recently.
I now have a positive outlook on life and my whole physique is 75% free from aches and pains. I now have space for fun and laughter, which was in short supply before my treatment. New doors have opened for me with opportunities. The anger I had stored up has been released and now I am beginning to embrace the gift of life where as before, my mental overload had made me isolated and apprehensive about taking an unfamiliar step in life.
Thank you for your treatment and teaching."
Female MK (aged 52)
