Book Your Session

Clinical sessions are booked and delivered on-site at Meridian Health Clinic Ltd, Auckland, offering a professional environment designed for comfort, focus, and optimal treatment outcomes.

I bring together a range of clinical and wellness tools to support change in the mind, body, and nervous system.

Depending on your goals, we may work with:

1. Clinical Hypnotherapy

As a qualified Professional Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, I work with clients to support:

Nervous system regulation and emotional balance
Confidence, motivation, performance (study, sport, creative work)
Stress, phobias, low mood, and overwhelm
Patterns around food, sleep, habits, and subconscious blocks
Support for those navigating PTSD, pain, autoimmune reactivity, and anxiety
Inner child, parts work, and regression-style sessions

⚠️While many clients come with specific challenges or symptoms, my work is not framed as a replacement for medical or psychological treatment.

I offer hypnotherapy as part of a coaching and resilience-building model that complements other healthcare.

3. Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine & Five Element Acupuncture

(Registered Acupuncture Practice | Cupping | Moxibustion | Electro-stimulation)

I am approved to practice acupuncture in New Zealand under the Chinese Medicine Council, providing regulated, safe, and professional care.

Using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element principles, my acupuncture work engages the body directly—regulating the nervous system, releasing tension, and restoring balance to the body’s energetic and physical systems.

Sessions are tailored to your presentation and goals, and may include:

- Fine, sterile acupuncture needles applied to targeted points

- Optional cupping therapy or moxibustion

- Electro-acupuncture where appropriate

- Touchpoint-based support for nervous system regulation, circulation, and emotional flow

Diagnosis & Approach

Assessment is made according to TCM principles, including pulse and tongue diagnosis, alongside a detailed understanding of your symptoms and overall presentation.

Rather than diagnosing medical conditions in a Western sense, this approach identifies patterns of imbalance within the body (such as Qi, Blood, Yin/Yang, and organ system relationships), which guide treatment.

Assessment & Pattern Diagnosis

Diagnosis is carried out according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, including:

- Pulse and tongue assessment

- Observation of posture, energy flow, and somatic patterns

- Identification of patterns of imbalance in Qi, Blood, Yin/Yang, and organ system relationships

This is not a Western medical diagnosis but a pattern-based clinical assessment guiding your individualised treatment plan.

Conditions & Patterns Acupuncture Supports

Acupuncture may be used to support a wide range of conditions, including:

Musculoskeletal pain and tension – back, neck, shoulders, injuries, repetitive strain, postural imbalances
Headaches and migraines – including tension and stress-related headaches
Stress and nervous system regulation – anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and emotional dysregulation
Fatigue and sleep disturbances – including insomnia, poor recovery, and exhaustion
Digestive complaints – bloating, indigestion, constipation, IBS-related symptoms
Reproductive and hormonal balance – menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, libido changes
Immune and inflammatory support – supporting overall resilience, allergies, recurrent infections
Respiratory support – mild asthma patterns, sinus congestion, seasonal sensitivities
Emotional and behavioural regulation – supporting mood swings, compulsive patterns, stress-related behaviours
Circulation and energy flow – improving vitality, peripheral circulation, and overall energetic balance
Somatic holding and body tension patterns – releasing trapped physical or emotional stress
Chronic conditions with pattern-based components – such as chronic pain or tension where the nervous system and Qi flow are involved

All treatments are applied with clinical intention, clear consent, and tailored to your individual presentation.

Integrated Approach

Acupuncture forms the “bottom-up” component of my practice, working directly with the body and nervous system to release tension, improve regulation, and restore balance.

It is often integrated with clinical hypnotherapy, trauma-informed coaching, and psycho-sensory methods, creating a holistic mind-body approach to recovery, regulation, and personal growth.

Important Note

Acupuncture is provided as a regulated healthcare modality. It may support a wide range of conditions, and is used alongside—rather than in place of—medical or mental health care where required.

How The Sessions Work

Open to All Genders – While I specialise in men's work through my group and coaching programs, all 1:1 clinical sessions are available to both men and women.

What This Is Not

❌ I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions under a regulated health provider scope

❌ I do not replace or override your existing medical or mental health care

Instead, I work alongside these systems—supporting your resilience, regulation, and reconnection through mind-body-spirit integration.

Why Work With Me?

Because this isn’t JUST THERAPY. It’s DEEP, LASTING TRANSFORMATION.

Transformation lives where therapy often ends—in the space where you learn to lead yourself.

Hypnotherapy, when combined with trauma-informed coaching, somatic integration, and meridian-based techniques, becomes a powerful change process that reaches below the surface—into the nervous system, subconscious mind, and body-held patterns.

While I am not a psychotherapist in New Zealand, my work is grounded in clinical-level training and real-world results.

No formulas. No fixing. Just a space to evolve from coping into clarity—again and again as life evolves.

What Are The Steps Now To Get Started?

Feel uneasy discussing your issue? That’s not a problem. I offer various change work options, such as metaphors of movement and content-free hypnosis, allowing for personal transformation without discussing the specifics.
