Over 15 years ago I started my journey in becoming a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I remember the first day I opened for business it was exciting I had a brand new office so fresh you could smell the paint on the walls. All I needed to complete the scene was my first client, so I went down stairs and put my sign out on the footpath for the first time and returned quickly sitting proudly in my new office chair waiting eagerly for someone to knock on the door. After only half an hour I heard the door open, my heart raced with excitement as my first client introduced himself he was an elderly gentleman who wanted my help. I am sure I must have looked like the Cheshire Cat out of Alice In Wonderland. In fact at that stage I felt like I was playing a part of an expert in the field of hypnosis he had no idea that he was my first paying client! and that I was really shaking in my boots! To be honest he was the best client I could have wished for and he came in for a number of sessions it helped pay off the set up costs of my business. I new at that moment I was exactly where I was meant to be in life! 15 years later I am proud to say that I feel privileged to be a hypnotherapist. I get to help people to be the best version of themselves that they can be, what better job could there be!

Over the years I have worked on so many people and see how powerful hypnosis can be. One of my resent clients came up to me at the woman's expo in Wellington she was with her two friends they said " We can't believe how much our friend has changed she sleeps with a book on spiders next to her bed!" This was a client who came in with a phobia of spiders, when she first came in she relayed how this phobia had stopped her from going into her home, one day she came home from work and there was a spider on her front porch, all she could do was imagine that there were more spiders inside her home and had to go and get the next door nabour to check inside her home before she felt safe to go inside. Another time before that she was flatting and when she was in the bathroom she saw a spider she screamed so much that her flat mates had to break down the door to save her. So there she was at the woman's expo and she said with a proud voice did you know that a female Tarantula can live to be 22 years old! She then said "I walked into a spiders web the other day and only thought that crossed my mind was that I had ruined the spiders home." I love my job when I see the changers that people make is really amazing to see how with the right thoughts we can all be a master of our minds. if you are ready to be the best version you can be go to my web site www.meredithmccarthy.com
