I recently had my first hypnosis session with Rebecca to help me lose weight, and I was blown away by her patience and calm demeanor. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease, which allowed me to fully open up and absorb the experience. Rebecca empowered me with her words, helping me tap into my inner strength and believe in myself. She instilled confidence in me, and I now feel like I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I'm excited to continue my journey with her guidance. Thank you, Rebecca

I am so so happy with the outcome. I got out of hypnotherapy. I was very sceptical at first but seeing the results firsthand it’s the best decision I ever made. Dr Rebecca is a very patient and lovely woman who makes you feel welcome from the minute you walk in the door. I have recommended people to her who are also seeing the same results. I will forever recommend this lovely family business and their services to everyone!

I have been smoking since I was 13, I am now 65. I was unsure if hypnosis would help me but I have tried and failed with every other type of help that is out there. After meeting Rebecca and having my first and only session I have stopped smoking, I have had no cravings or withdrawals it's amazing, I wish I had done this many years ago. If you are wanting to do this don't hesitate IT WORKS. thank you Rebecca for your wonderful help.

I have suffered from IBS-D for the last 10 years and have tried different approaches except gut-directed hypnotherapy. I came across Norwest Wellbeing in my searches as I'm local to the Hills District. Rebecca Smith is a god-send. I wish I had seen her 10 years ago! One session with her was literally what it took for me to get over this. Within 2 weeks, I was able to travel overseas for 2 months with no issues. Amazing! Thank you Bec!

Rebecca is amazing! After the first session I noticed such a positive difference with myself. I felt so comfortable throughout the process and have enjoyed my sessions so much. Highly recommend:)

Ive recently seen Rebecca for multiple sessions focusing on healing complex ptsd. She has changed my life and helped me heal and move forward. She also is just such a warm sweet person who makes you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. Highly recommend

When I’m with a client discussing hypnotherapy for perimenopause and menopause, I see that mixture of hope and hesitation in every woman who walks through my door. ‘Will this be different?’ they wonder. After helping hundreds of women navigate this significant life transition using clinical hypnotherapy, I can tell you this is different.

As your Clinical Hypnotherapist specialising in women’s health, I understand that managing perimenopause and menopause isn’t just about treating hot flushes – it’s about addressing the whole-body experience and reclaiming your sense of wellbeing. It’s about finding balance in your mind first, then watching your body respond.

“What drives me is seeing women transform their menopausal journey from a struggle to an empowering transition. When a client tells me they’re finally sleeping through the night, their mood swings have stabilised, or they’ve regained their confidence and energy – those are the real victories.” – Rebecca Smith, Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Rebecca's approach was different from anything I'd tried before. She understood exactly what I was going through - the unpredictable hot flushes, the night sweats, the mood swings that affected my relationships. Working with her wasn't just about managing symptoms; it was about embracing this new chapter of life. For the first time since perimenopause began, I feel like myself again.

The Science Behind Your Success: Why Hypnotherapy for Perimenopause and Menopause Works

Picture this: You’re waking up refreshed after a full night’s sleep, no longer disrupted by night sweats. Your day flows without the unpredictable hot flushes that once interrupted your meetings. This isn’t just wishful thinking – it’s about rewiring your body’s response to hormonal changes. And science proves it works.

Beyond Hormone Replacement: Your Mind-Body Connection

“I’ve tried everything,” Angela told me during her first visit. “Every supplement, every remedy. Nothing provided lasting relief.” Like many of our clients, Angela didn’t realise that effective management of menopausal symptoms involves the powerful connection between mind and body.

Here's what the research reveals about your brain's remarkable ability to transform:

The Power of Your Mind, Proven by Science

Clinical studies have shown that women using hypnotherapy for menopausal symptoms experienced a 74% reduction in hot flushes and night sweats compared to control groups. Many also reported significant improvements in sleep quality and mood stability. But what makes this approach so different?

“After months of disrupted sleep and unpredictable hot flushes, hypnotherapy helped me understand how my thoughts were amplifying my symptoms. It wasn’t just about the hormonal changes – it was about how my mind was responding to them. Now, I feel balanced and in control for the first time since perimenopause began.” – Angela, experiencing comfortable nights and reduced symptoms after 3 sessions

The Mind-Body Breakthrough

A study published by the National Library of Medicine found a mean reduction of 55.82% in hot flashes for the clinical hypnosis intervention (74.16%) versus a 12.89 hot flash reduction (17.13%) for the control group.

Three Ways Your Mind Transforms Your Menopausal Experience

Modern research has uncovered exactly how hypnotherapy creates lasting change during perimenopause and menopause:

1. The Regulation Effect

Your autonomic nervous system can be calmed through hypnotic techniques. Through guided relaxation, we help your body respond more effectively to hormonal fluctuations – making hot flushes less intense and less frequent.

2. The Sleep Reset

Like Angela, you might have developed disrupted sleep patterns due to night sweats. Clinical studies show hypnotherapy helps restore natural sleep cycles by addressing anxiety and temperature regulation at the unconscious level.

3. The Emotional Balance

Recent studies reveal that participants who used self-hypnosis techniques didn’t just experience fewer physical symptoms – they naturally developed improved emotional resilience during hormonal shifts without feeling overwhelmed.

Through gentle hypnotherapy, Rebecca guides you into a relaxed state where she can help your unconscious mind create new responses to hormonal changes, making symptom management both easier and more sustainable.

Individual Sessions

Each session is tailored to address:

Your Questions About The Journey

We recomend two to five sessions, but treatment is unique as you are, so the number of sessions may vary.

Some private health funds provide coverage for hypnotherapy. We recommend checking with your provider for specific details.

Unlike treatments that only address physical symptoms, hypnotherapy works with your subconscious to create natural changes in how your body responds to hormonal fluctuations. Think of it like updating your mind's stress response system. Where medication alone might mask symptoms, hypnotherapy creates lasting changes by calming your nervous system and reducing symptom intensity. Our clients often say, "I'm not fighting with my body anymore - the hot flushes are less intense and less frequent now."

If you can daydream, you can be hypnotised. The hypnotic state is a natural state we all experience daily, like when you become absorbed in a good book or film. We'll work together to find the perfect approach for you. As Angela shared: "I was sceptical at first, but Rebecca helped me find my way into it. Now I wish I'd tried it before trying so many supplements."

If you can daydream, you can be hypnotised. The hypnotic state is a natural state we all experience daily, like when you drive home and don't remember parts of the journey. We'll work together to find the perfect approach for you. As Emma shared: "I was sceptical at first, but Rebecca helped me find my way into it. Now I wish I'd tried it years ago."

Many clients notice shifts after their second or third session - improved sleep quality, reduced hot flush intensity, or just feeling more balanced emotionally. Margaret's story is typical: "After my third session, I realised I'd gone the whole day without a significant hot flush. It wasn't just luck - I felt calmer overall." Your changes will build progressively, creating a sustainable new relationship with this natural transition.

At Norwest Wellbeing, Rebecca combines clinical hypnotherapy with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to address persistent symptoms and create lasting comfort. As an experienced healthcare professional specialising in women's health, Rebecca understands that successful symptom management requires addressing both physical and emotional aspects. Her approach works by addressing the underlying stress responses that can intensify menopausal symptoms. During your personalised sessions, she'll help you develop new thought patterns and physiological responses that support your journey through this transition.

Scientific Support for Your Journey:

Our approach at Norwest Wellbeing is backed by extensive research demonstrating the effectiveness of clinical hypnotherapy for improving perimenopause and menopause symptoms:

Randomized Controlled Trial for Hot Flashes (2013):
A landmark study by Elkins et al. published in the journal Menopause showed that clinical hypnosis resulted in a remarkable 74.16% reduction in hot flash frequency compared to just 17.13% in the control group. The research also found an 80.32% reduction in hot flash severity scores, demonstrating hypnotherapy’s powerful effectiveness for this common menopausal symptom.

Physiologically Verified Results:
This same study uniquely demonstrated a 56.86% reduction in physiologically monitored hot flashes (measured using skin conductance monitoring), providing objective evidence that hypnotherapy doesn’t just change perception but actually reduces the occurrence of physical symptoms.

Improved Sleep Quality (2020):
Research published in the Journal of Women’s Health showed that self-hypnosis significantly improved sleep quality in menopausal women. Participants reported increased sleep time and reduced sleep disturbances. The study found clinically meaningful improvements in sleep quality in 50-77% of participants across different delivery methods.

Multi-Symptom Benefits:
Research from Baylor University found that hypnotherapy improved not only hot flashes but also related symptoms, including sleep quality (53.63% improvement), daily interference from symptoms (82.11% reduction), and overall quality of life measures, making it a comprehensive approach to menopause management.
