About Kushla

My own journey in hypnotherapy started 30 years ago when I first went to a hypnotherapist for a health issue which at the time was successfully overcome with the use of positive mind visualisations. More recently a relative went to a hypnotherapist after being involved in a car accident which was followed by panic attacks which were successfully managed and stopped.

These techniques can aid the healing of the mind and body when there seems to be no hope. Your untapped inner resources of the mind can be called on to help you. This is the power of the unconscious mind. It has the ability to be your best friend in times of trouble. Shown how, you have all the resources inside to help yourself. I am a firm believer that these concepts are solution-focussed and can be used to overcome a myriad of issues that all start in the mind. Why not give it a go and experience it for yourself?

My previous background as a medical radiographer, trained in New Zealand and working in hospitals and private practice, developed my interest in health and wellbeing. I am also the mother of two adult children who are leading successful lives.

I have worked in various other industries, from a newspaper photographer to sales and interviewing for market research, as well as working in a family business as financial administrator while my family was growing up. This background has given me practical people skills and gives me the ability to relate to people from many different backgrounds while being non-judgmental.

For leisure, I like to spend time in the outdoors biking and walking, going to the beach and movies, doing Pilates and yoga and spending time with friends and family. I also do volunteer work as a local Community Patroller which means I have been police checked. I like to continually update my knowledge by reading books on the mind and going to continuing educational courses to advance my skills in this fascinating area of the mind.
