Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Hypnotherapy is a natural, focused state of deep relaxation, similar to daydreaming or being absorbed in a movie. Unlike the myths seen in movies, you are not asleep or unconscious. Instead, your attention is highly focused, and your conscious mind takes a back seat, allowing for deeper access to your subconscious mind where deep-seated habits, beliefs and emotions are stored.
In this relaxed state, sometimes called a “hypnotic state” you are more open to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking that support healing, change and growth. Far from stage tricks or mind control, clinical hypnotherapy is a well researched therapeutic practice used by healthcare professionals worldwide.
Hypnosis creates a calm, immersive experience where your everyday distractions fade away. Hypnosis works because it quiets the parts of the brain linked to stress and self-criticism, allowing your nervous system to settle.
In this relaxed state, you can release old patterns, shift unhelpful beliefs and strengthen focus, imagination and healing responses.
Research shows hypnotherapy is effective in reducing anxiety, ease pain, support better sleep, and even help with behaviour change like quitting smoking or managing weight. (Times Magazine – How Hypnosis Works, According to Science 28/4/2022 https://time.com/6171844/how-hypnosis-works/ ).

Trance” may sound mysterious but it’s something you already experience in everyday life. Think of being absorbed in a film, a good book, or arriving somewhere without remembering the drive. Hypnotherapy uses this natural ability to focus and immerse to guide you to safely explore new possibilities, reframe challenges and reconnect with your inner resources.

Surprisingly common. About two-thirds of adults can experience hypnosis easily, and nearly everyone has moments in daily life that resemble trance; like getting lost in thought on a walk or driving on “autopilot.” In hypnotherapy, this everyday experience is harnessed purposefully for your wellbeing.
At Your Path to Calm, I believe in focusing on strengths, resources and future goals, not just problems. Solution-focused clinical hypnotherapy empowers you to reframe challenges, build resilience and move toward the life you deserve.
Many of us spend our days running on stress without even noticing. When the nervous system gets locked in “survival mode,” it can leave us anxious, tense, or drained. In this state, the body diverts energy away from digestion, hormone balance, immunity, and even memory because it thinks survival is all that matters. This is why stress, cravings, and old emotional patterns can feel so hard to shift.
Think of your nervous system like it has two gears:
Learning how to switch into the parasympathetic state is one of the most powerful ways to support both emotional healing and long-term health. It’s here that the body processes trauma, restores balance, and begins its natural repair work.
This is where somatic practices can make a profound difference. By listening to the body and responding with awareness, somatics help you reconnect to yourself in a deeper way. They give you tools to notice where stress is being held, to move or breathe through it, and to gently release it. Over time, these practices can help break unhelpful patterns, ease tension, and create lasting transformation.
Alongside somatic awareness, simple techniques like Breathwork, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and mindfulness act as anchors for nervous system regulation. Each one communicates safety to the body and helps activate the vagus nerve, the “superhighway” connecting your brain, heart, lungs, and gut. This is the switch that guides you out of stress and back into calm.
When your nervous system feels safe, hypnotherapy is able to work more deeply. In this grounded and receptive state, the subconscious mind becomes open to change, allowing you to process old experiences, reframe limiting beliefs, and move forward with more freedom and calm.
