I recently listened to A Brain That Breathes by Jodi Wilson while I was on holiday, after a friend recommended it to me and it was the perfect book for that time away.

I really enjoyed how Jodi combines research and science with simple, practical ways to slow down, feel less overwhelmed and be more present.

The book explores ideas like “enoughness,” letting your mind wander, restoring your attention and making space to simply do nothing. It’s a refreshing reminder that rest isn’t something we have to earn and that slowing down is important for our brains, bodies and nervous systems.

I’d recommend this book to anyone who feels constantly busy, mentally cluttered or simply needs a little more breathing space in their life.

Last night, I went to Pub Choir with a couple of friends—and what an absolute blast! 🎶😂

Imagine 2,100 people coming together to create an epic version of Take On Me by a-ha. There were so many laughs, so much energy and the perfect opportunity to let loose. Thankfully, no actual singing ability was required! 😄

I absolutely love singing, music and everything connected to it, it genuinely lights me up. Singing is also so good for our mental wellbeing. It helps release stress, lifts our mood and creates that wonderful feeling of connection with others.

More moments like this, please! ❤️🎤

✨ Professional registration in hypnotherapy really matters ✨

Something many people are surprised to learn is that hypnotherapy in New Zealand is not government regulated. This means qualifications, experience, and professional standards can vary significantly between practitioners.

That’s one reason I believe professional membership and registration are so important 💛

I’m honoured to be registered at the highest level with both:
🌿 Hypnosis New Zealand
🌿 The New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH)

These registrations reflect extensive professional training, clinical experience, and a commitment to maintaining high ethical and professional standards within the industry.

Maintaining professional registration requires ongoing commitments including:
✨ Continued professional development and education
✨ Supervision and accountability
✨ Police vetting/screening
✨ Current first aid certification
✨ Ethical, client-centred practice
✨ Ongoing commitment to safe and professional care

For me, supporting clients is about far more than simply using techniques. It’s about creating a space where people feel safe, understood, respected, and supported while working through challenges and creating meaningful change.

Whether clients come for anxiety, fears and phobias, trauma, emotional wellbeing, confidence, habits, or personal growth, they deserve support from someone who values professionalism, integrity, and lifelong learning.

Finding the right hypnotherapist is a very personal choice and knowing your practitioner is properly trained, professionally registered, and accountable can offer real peace of mind ✨

🌿 More than a therapy clinic... a place to learn, connect, and grow.🌿

One of the things I love most about Integrated Insights is that it's more than just the services I provide. I'm incredibly fortunate to share the clinic with a wonderful community of practitioners, each bringing their own knowledge, skills, and passion for supporting wellbeing.

Together, we've created a space where people can not only access individual therapies but also enjoy workshops, group classes, and special events designed to educate, inspire, and connect.

Over the past few months we've had the pleasure of hosting:

✨ Postpartum Mothers Group
✨ Women's Circles
✨ Reiki-Infused Yin Yoga
✨ Sound Bath Evenings
✨ Coercive Control Workshop
✨ Attachment Styles Workshop

And we're just getting started.

As our community continues to grow, I'd love to hear from you.
💚 Is there a workshop, course, or class you'd love to attend? Your ideas help us create events that truly support our local community.

Words matter more than we often realise.

There can be a powerful difference between saying:
❌ “I am anxious”
and
✅ “A part of me is feeling anxious.”

When we say “I am…”, we can unknowingly fuse our identity with the emotion or struggle. It can start to feel like anxiety, anger, sadness, or self-doubt is who we are, rather than something we are experiencing.

But when we begin to say:
• “A part of me feels anxious”
• “A part of me feels hurt”
• “A part of me is struggling right now”

…it creates a little more space, compassion, and perspective.

You are not your anxiety.
You are not your intrusive thoughts.
You are not your trauma or fear.

These are experiences, feelings, or protective parts of you — not your entire identity.

Sometimes healing begins with changing the way we speak to ourselves. 🤍
