Holidays Opening 2025 - 2026
Andrew Hardwick Hypnotherapy

We know that December is a frantic time for so many of you. With the holidays coming up, there's the usual end-of-year rush to complete all your work before you down tools for family time.

It can be a stressful time, yes, but the holidays also mean you have time off work. I have a name for that - I call it YOU TIME!

YOU TIME is very important, because often it's difficult to get when you're working!
But here's the thing; During the holidays, you're not working, but I am
My plan is to be there for you, for when you need me to be

If you eat too much during all the holidays feasts, and want to lose weight, I can help you get into the mindset to cut down, or have a full weight loss hypnosis program
If you want the motivation to get in shape with exercise, I can give you the mindset to do that, with hypnosis, coaching or tai chi
If your New Year's resolution is to stop smoking, va**ng, drinking, gambling, or any other old habit you want rid of, I can help you with that too

Here are my opening hours
I look forward to working with you soon

Are you a busy professional over 40, and don't want to accidentally forget something?

Make a list!

Lists have power, because they help us to organise our thoughts, our priorities and our work. They act as reminders

You don't have to believe me, just look around and you will see the evidence;

* History is a list of dates
* Calendars list the months and days
* Your diary lists your appointments
* You get emails from someone's list
* You send offers out to your client list

Lists give energy and we enthusiastically tick things off the list

* To Do Lists e.g. "Buy bread and milk"
* To Don't Lists e.g. "Don't forget eggs"
* Lists to be on e.g. Short list for jobs
* Lists to not be on e.g. Blacklist

Without a list we may lack direction, enthusiasm or energy for the task ahead; Which is what listless means!

Thanks for LISTening to this tip from

As a busy professional over 40, are you still happy to be a small cog in the big wheel of the industry you're in?

Let's look at this from the metaphor of gears on a bicycle. Gears have many cogs. Each cog is a different size, and will rotate at a predetermined velocity. That's how cogs work. But each cog can only become engaged in its work when acted upon by the bicycle chain.
The cogs serve the chain, so the chain is in charge. The chain is the boss!

Hence, I ask you again, "As a busy professional over 40, are you still happy to be a small cog in the big wheel of the industry you're in?"

OR DO YOU WANT TO BE THE CHAIN?

As your Hypnotherapist and Life Coach I won't look at solving the problems that got you where you are today, but I will look at finding ways forward to where you want to be tomorrow. Then we can reframe your mindset so that you can take control and be the chain that drives the cogs. Does this appeal to you?

How are you today?

It sounds like a simple question, but in fact it's so much more. The answer you give to that question is often polite, rather than the real and honest answer.

Having served 3 decades as a Registered Nurse and now in my 2nd decade as a Hypnotherapist has taught me some home truths. One of those is that people often hide the truth from themselves or others. They do this partly because the truth hurts, and partly because they may think no one wants to hear it.

I have many friends whom I know are struggling, and ask them "How are you today?" They respond with a polite "I'm OK", or "I'm fine", rather than telling me what they are really feeling

How do I know this, you may ask?
When I ask the same question to my Hypnotherapy and Coaching clients, they start with the same answer. But, because it's a therapy session and they are there for a purpose to get something positive from it, I draw out the real answer, with further, probing questions. Only then does the true narrative of what that client is going through come to the fore. The narrative has to be revealed, in order for me to help them change it.

That's when change begins - Change fear to joy, change pain to comfort, or change procrastination to motivation. Once that change is complete, they are transformed, and the REAL answer to the question "How are you today?" is "I'm doing great now, thank you!"

Your personal change is just a phone call away

Are you a busy professional aged over 40, and ready to make changes in life?

Psychologist Carl Jung once said, "Life begins at 40; The first 40 years are just research" With research so critical to the success of your business, then I'm sure you understand the significance of Jung's profound observation about life itself

​The changes you make at this point in life will be based upon what those first 40 years of research into life have taught you. By 40 you will be more aware of your likes, your dislikes, what you want more of in life and what you want less of.

I can help you:
* Hypnotherapy and NLP to focus your mind
* Tai Chi to improve breathing, balance and movement
* Coaching for lifestyle changes
* Tapping into your true potential

With Petone Community House – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

In truth I've been a fan of Petone Community House since the Wellington earthquake of November 14th 2016.

On that day I simultaneously lost access to both of my in-person venues that I used for Hypnotherapy. In Wellington, I lost access to the room I was leasing from Exodus Gym in Tory Street, where the car park had been torn asunder by the quake. Also, I lost access to the room I had been using for Hypnotherapy at StMark's Uniting Congregations Church, in Woburn, Lower Hutt.

Petone Community House welcomed me, and in so doing enabled me to provide my services to clients in Wellington and the Hutt Valley. In many ways they helped me save my business, and I am forever grateful.

Growth by pruning

One of the joys of home ownership is gardening. Over the years it has given me a fresh perspective on growth

There was a time I thought about growth as purely requiring upsizing, such as from low income to high income, small ideas to big ideas and from sole trader to corporate business

What gardening taught me, that I hadn't previously appreciated, was that growth can also be achieved by pruning

Pruning is very cathartic, and also an art form. It involves getting rid of old leaves and branches that are not flourishing, so that those left behind can make more efficient use of the available nutrients, and so can flourish

Beyond gardening, life in general presents many opportunities for pruning too.

There are many things we collect over the years, which at some point in life we may no longer need - Habits, beliefs, superstitions, out of date feelings etc, all of which can hold us back.

Pruning them from your life can free up time, energy, money, and take the weight off your mind, so that you can enjoy the garden of life to the full.

Think about it -
* What if you can prune away fear, and grow confidence in its place?
* What if you can prune away pain and instead grow comfort?
* What if you can prune away unhealthy eating habits and grow healthy ones to replace them?

YOU CAN!

In fact, you can learn how to do all this, with Andrew Hardwick Hypnotherapy

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Andrew
