On the surface, Helen Shale was a busy professional and high achiever. But she says underneath, unresolved issues led to chronic, long term stress and major health challenges.

“I got into a pretty dark place,” she says.

Once she acknowledged the problem, and sought professional help, not only was she happier, but her life changed in ways she could not have imagined.

Hypnotherapy and counselling taught her skills that she feels everyone should know, and be able to apply to their own lives – and she decided to share that knowledge. 

After three years of training, the Tindalls Bay resident obtained a Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy from the NZ School of Hypnotherapy, and also became a Master Life & Advanced Neurolinguistic Programming coach.

She has been using those skills to work with people for several months and the results encouraged her to start her own clinic.

“Seeing the changes in people is so humbling,” she says. “Hypnotherapy is a remarkably quick way to get to the heart of an issue, safely, by tapping into the subconscious mind.”

She says this can resolve mental, emotional and even physical challenges that may originate from past experiences.

It is especially effective for treating anxiety and stress and the lasting effects of trauma, as well as phobias, pain management and helping with weight loss or habits like smoking.

“However you feel, no-one is broken,” Helen says. “I know from personal experience, and from helping others, that things that happened in the past do not define who we are or what we are capable of. Hypnotherapy is a very effective way to heal and move on to enjoy life to the full.”
