Client stories - Women's Health
You'll find that these success stories aren't just testimonials - they're blueprints for possibility, showing how targeted hypnotherapy sessions can catalyze profound change in your life, regardless of how long you've struggled with your challenges.
Emma's IBS Journey
“I used to know where every public toilet was in Sydney. That’s what living with IBS does to you—it shrinks your world to places where you know you can reach a bathroom quickly.”
For Emma, IBS had ruled her life for eight years. She’d turned down dinner invitations, avoided public transport, and even chosen her career based on bathroom access.
“I tried everything my doctor suggested. Some things helped a bit, but I was still living in fear of the next flare-up. The worst part was the anxiety—worrying about having symptoms made the symptoms worse. It was a horrible cycle.”
After reading an article about the gut-brain connection, Emma decided to call Norwest Wellbeing.
“Rebecca explained things in a way that finally made sense. She talked about how stress affects digestion and how hypnotherapy could help calm my nervous system. It wasn’t about magic—it was about retraining my body’s responses.”
In her sessions, Emma learned techniques to manage early signs of digestive distress and ways to calm her anxiety about potential symptoms.
“The first time I went out for dinner and actually enjoyed my meal without worrying, I nearly cried. It seems like such a small thing, but it was huge for me.”
Six months later, Emma’s symptoms haven’t completely disappeared, but they’re much less frequent and severe.
“The best part isn’t even the physical improvement—it’s the freedom. I recently went on a bush walk with friends without mapping the toilet blocks first. That kind of normal life is what I’m most grateful for.”
Jen's IVF Story
“The waiting room at the IVF clinic used to make my heart race. I’d sit there, scrolling through success stories on my phone, trying to convince myself it would work this time.”
After trying for a baby for almost two years, Jen and her husband decided to try IVF. What she didn’t expect was the emotional rollercoaster that came with it.
“I was a mess, really. I’d wake up at 2 AM checking forums and calculating my chances. My husband was worried about me. When my doctor mentioned stress might be making things harder, I almost laughed—of course I was stressed!”
That’s when a friend suggested talking to Rebecca at Norwest Wellbeing.
“I wasn’t sure hypnotherapy would help, but I was willing to try anything. Rebecca wasn’t what I expected. She listened to me—really listened—and explained how my constant worry was keeping my body in fight-or-flight mode.”
During her sessions, Jen learned how to calm her racing thoughts and get better sleep. The techniques were simple enough to use at home.
“After a few weeks, I noticed I wasn’t checking my phone first thing in the morning to read more fertility stories. I could go to appointments feeling calmer. My husband said I seemed more like myself again.”
While Jen knows the medical treatments were essential, she believes the hypnotherapy helped her cope with the process.
“I’m not saying it was magic, but learning to manage my stress made the whole journey more bearable. And when we finally got our positive test, I was actually able to enjoy the moment instead of immediately worrying about what could go wrong next.”
Lisa's Weight Transformation
“Every Monday was the same—I’d start a new diet feeling hopeful, and by Friday night I’d be elbow-deep in a bag of chips, hating myself. I’d been trapped in this pattern for most of my adult life.”
At 42, Lisa had tried every weight loss program available. Each one would work temporarily before she’d regain the weight, plus more.
“Food was either ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ I was either ‘being good’ or ‘cheating.’ My whole life revolved around what I was eating or not eating. It was exhausting.”
When a friend mentioned she’d worked with Rebecca at Norwest Wellbeing for similar issues, Lisa was skeptical but desperate.
“I expected we’d talk about avoiding junk food or creating meal plans. Instead, Rebecca asked about my childhood, my stress levels, and how I felt about myself. That’s when I realized this approach was different.”
Through hypnotherapy, Lisa discovered patterns from her past that triggered her comfort eating. She learned how to recognize emotional hunger versus physical hunger.
“We barely talked about food at all, which was refreshing. Instead, we focused on how I handle difficult feelings and why I turned to food for comfort.”
Over several months, Lisa noticed subtle changes. She’d pause before automatically reaching for snacks when upset. She started enjoying meals without guilt. Most surprisingly, she found herself naturally choosing nutritious foods without feeling deprived.
“I’ve lost weight—about 12kg over eight months—but that’s not even the best part. For the first time in decades, I’m not constantly thinking about food or my body. I can actually focus on living my life instead of planning my next diet. That freedom is worth everything.”
