For new clients Kirsten will...

  • Assess your case and gather information from your health and injury history

  • Focus on corrective bodywork and movement, typically you will perform a series of movements and muscle testing assessments, which help identify what needs treating

  • Create a treatment plan that is specific to you and your goals

  • During your treatment you will be asked to get up, walk, stand or move to see how the corrections made on the table are reflected in your body.

  • This does not always require any clothing removal. Active wear is recommended

  • Rehab training concludes your treatment with the breakdown of exercises to complement the session, These are demonstrated and assigned as part of the corrective homework, which empowers you to heal yourself

  • Please note that if you are not looking for corrective bodywork but just wish to receive a therapeutic massage, this can be available for you.

About your Hypnotherapy Sessions

A hypnotherapy session usually lasts for about an hour. While one session can be helpful for some people, several sessions are usually recommended.


During a clinical hypnotherapy session, you will be guided into a state of relaxation that makes you more susceptible to desired changes, enabling the therapeutic use and benefit of suggestions and imagery to release negative feelings and rapidly integrate new skills, strategies, and strengths.


Whilst in hypnosis, you will still hear and know what is being said. You are aware of what is happening and are in control of your mind and body. Creative talents and abilities can be unlocked in the process. You can deliberately program your subconscious with beneficial ideas that have a post-hypnotic effect on your sleep, pain, and behaviours.


For real change to happen, a minimum of three to five sessions are recommended.
