🎉 Today a very special delivery arrived!

I’m delighted to share that the latest issue of Massage & Myotherapy Australia Journal features Clinical Hypnotherapy on the cover — and right at the very forefront you’ll find the article I wrote on behalf of the Australian Hypnotherapists’ Association.

A heartfelt thank you to the team at the Australian Massage & Myotherapy Association for their interest in clinical hypnotherapy. It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring this modality to the attention of thousands of therapists, allied-health colleagues, students and clients.

I’m honoured to be part of this collaboration and excited for the great exposure it will bring. Here’s to growing understanding and integration of clinical hypnotherapy within our therapeutic community. 🙏✨

🗞️ In the Media! 🗞️
THE AHA and Hypnotherapy get a great write up in a feature I was asked to do on World Mental Health Day in this week’s Sentinel Times Newspaper.

The article shines a light on the positive benefits of Clinical Hypnotherapy in supporting mental wellness, resilience, and personal growth.

A big thank you to the Sentinel Times for helping spread awareness of evidence-based hypnotherapy and its contribution to the mental health landscape. 👏

IN MEMORIAM: Douglas Rhodes

We would like to take a moment to honour the life and contribution of Douglas (Doug) Rhodes, a respected hypnotherapist and pioneer of our profession.

Doug practiced hypnotherapy in Melbourne for many years up until the early 1990s. He was actively involved in important legislative work with the Victorian state government, helping to establish hypnotherapy as a recognised treatment modality. His commitment to advancing the profession created opportunities for future generations of practitioners to work with greater recognition and integrity.

Following his time in Australia, Doug continued his practice in New Zealand for several years, carrying forward his dedication to helping others through hypnotherapy.

Doug passed away peacefully in Christchurch, New Zealand, at the end of April 2025, aged 93. He leaves behind not only a legacy of professional contribution but also warm memories among those who knew him personally.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Giovanna, who holds a wealth of knowledge about the early days of hypnotherapy in Victoria.

We extend our deepest gratitude for Doug’s lasting impact on the profession and our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

🌿 Interview Feature in the South Gippsland Sentinel-Times 🌿

Today I had the privilege of speaking with Sentinel-Times, the regional Gippsland newspaper, about World Mental Health Day and the crucial role of clinical hypnotherapy in supporting mental wellbeing.

The Sentinel-Times is a well-read weekly in South Gippsland & Bass Coast, with a paid print circulation of about 7,243 copies. 
It also serves an estimated readership of over 10,000 per issue. 

In the interview, I emphasised how Clinical Hypnotherapy can help people better manage symptoms of anxiety and depression — especially in these times when mental health awareness is front of mind.

I may have also highlighted that AHA is home to registered, well-trained clinical hypnotherapists across Australia. 😉
And If you’re seeking a qualified therapist, visit the “Find a Hypnotherapist” page on the AHA website and let us help you on your journey.

Spreading awareness wherever we can — here’s to more conversations, more support, and more healing. 💚

I’m delighted to share this article, “The Quiet Power of Clinical Hypnotherapy: A Journey into the Mind’s Innate Healing Potential”, which has now been published in Massage & Myotherapy Australia’s Spring Journal (Issue 3, 2025).

This piece debunks some myths and explores the evidence-based role of clinical hypnotherapy in supporting health, wellbeing, and the body’s innate capacity for healing. I’m honoured to contribute to this respected professional publication.
