To our fabulous AHA members,
We invite you to contribute a recorded testimonial to be featured on the AHA's YouTube channel and Facebook groups. We're seeking short (2-5 minutes) testimonials from members at all levels—whether you're a new graduate, or an experienced professional we would love to hear from you.

If you're inspired to share what led you to join the AHA, what has motivated you to remain, and what benefits you find invaluable, we'd love to hear from you.

These testimonials aim to highlight the positive aspects of our association, what we excel in, and what potential members might want to know.

Please send your recordings to president@ahahypnotherapy.org.au

All submissions will be reviewed and have the opportunity to be featured on both our YouTube and Facebook channels.

As a token of appreciation, participants will be entered into a draw for a $100 voucher for CPD on the Intuto platform. We encourage members to get creative and share your unique journey with the AHA!

Another fantastic workshop this evening from the AHA with Selena Hagan from Massage and Myotherapy Australia.

It was so insightful exploring the crossover between our two modalities and recognising the powerful commonalities between hypnotherapy and massage therapy.

Understanding where our approaches align allows us to better support our clients and make appropriate, ethical referrals when needed.

Collaboration truly strengthens client outcomes.

Thank you, Selena 🙏

Day Two and loving it ✨

Currently enjoying Day 2 of Dr Leon Cowen’s Hypnotic Empty Chair workshop.

Such a powerful, practical training experience — insightful, experiential, and immediately applicable in clinical work. Always valuable to deepen skills that support meaningful therapeutic change.

Grateful to keep learning and refining the craft.

Molly Fahey, Dietitian, is conducting a PhD project focused on co-designing a digital health intervention (app and/or website) to support integrated, multidisciplinary care for people living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Molly and the research team at the University of Queensland are currently inviting people with IBS and clinicians who provide healthcare for people with IBS to participate in an 8-12 minute survey, accessible here: https://tinyurl.com/DigiIBSMF



Following the survey, participants may also indicate their interest in a follow‑up interview and/or online workshop(s), during which key design considerations will be explored in greater depth.



The project has been approved by the University of Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee (2025/HE001925).

If you have any questions or would like more information about the project, please don’t hesitate to contact Molly via email (molly.warner@uq.edu.au) or phone, 0409815913.

Thank you very much for considering this invitation.
