What is Hypnotherapy and How Does It Work?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, powerful process that helps you access the subconscious mind, where deep emotional patterns, beliefs, and old programming live. It’s not about mind control. You are always in control and aware of everything happening during the session.
We bypass the conscious mind, the part that overthinks, judges, and analyses and speak directly to the part of you that holds the real answers.
Your subconscious mind stores your habits, fears, self-worth, and emotional blocks. And that’s also where deep healing happens. Through guided relaxation, visualisation, and therapeutic suggestions, we can release what’s been holding you back — and rewire the beliefs that support the life you deserve.
Most clients say hypnotherapy feels like a deep meditation or peaceful dream. You don’t have to “try”, just relax and allow the transformation to begin.
Take the first step. Healing starts here.

What Can Hypnotherapy Help With?
Anxiety, Stress & Emotional Overwhelm
Struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or panic attacks? Hypnotherapy helps calm the nervous system and rewire subconscious patterns that drive fear and stress. Feel more grounded, calm, and in control.
Emotional Eating, Sugar Cravings & Weight Issues
Hypnotherapy addresses emotional eating, sugar cravings, and body image struggles by healing the root cause — not just the symptom. Learn to trust your body and create lasting change without restriction.
Bad Habits, Addictions & Compulsive Patterns
Break free from habits like smoking, drinking, nail biting, or mindless scrolling. Hypnotherapy reprograms your subconscious to respond differently — making change feel natural and achievable.
Low Self-Worth, Confidence & People-Pleasing
If you constantly doubt yourself or find it hard to speak up, hypnotherapy can shift the beliefs that keep you small. Rebuild your confidence and start showing up as the real you.
Trauma Bonds, Toxic Relationships & Repeated Patterns
If you keep going back, justifying their behaviour, or losing yourself in love, hypnotherapy can help you break the trauma bond, heal past wounds, and stop repeating toxic cycles.

My Story
Maree-Nicole
For half my life, I was stuck in a toxic relationship that slowly chipped away at my self-worth. I kept going back, trapped in a trauma bond I didn’t yet have the language for. I lived with shame, fear of change, and a deep, quiet belief that maybe it was all my fault.
Even when I reached out for help through counselling and psychology, something still felt missing. I gained awareness, but I couldn’t break the cycle. I still felt invisible… abandoned… and unsure of how to trust myself again.
But everything changed when I found hypnotherapy. It gave me access to the part of myself that traditional talk therapy couldn’t reach. For the first time, I saw the patterns clearly. I released the pain, rewired the beliefs, and finally reconnected with the woman I had forgotten.
I completed my Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and dedicated my life to helping others do the same, not just for myself but also for my three incredible children, who became my greatest teachers.
I see you — because I’ve been you.
And I’m here to help you rise.

Tracey Ward19/12/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Nicole at Soulful Healing Hypnotherapy 19th December 2024: My 2nd session with Nicole, as I was experiencing a past trauma trigger. Nicole lead me through to the event in my past life that was impacting me in my present. This was performed over Zoom and I went from crying to feeling the wait lifted and released. Thank you again Nicole for the skills and compassion you have in helping those of us who gravitate to you. Highly recommended 5 stars I recently met with Nicole while she was on the Gold Coast, QLD, for a hypnotherapy session. I must admit, this was my fourth attempt at hypnotherapy, as the previous three practitioners were unable to get me into a trance state. From the moment I walked in, Nicole made me feel completely safe and nurtured in her presence. She took the time to explain her approach and chose a method she felt would best suit me, considering my past concerns. To my surprise, Nicole was 100% successful in guiding me into a deep trance, taking me all the way back to a powerful and emotional memory of being just a week old in my mother’s arms. This was my first experience of feeling abandoned, as my mother, struggling with her role, found it difficult to cope with being a young mother. The session allowed me to explore and release these deep-seated emotions from different timelines, and I was able to have a profound cry of relief. I cannot recommend Nicole's services highly enough. Her expertise, compassion, and skill brought me healing beyond what I thought was possible. With the utmost gratitude, thank you, Nicole, for this transformative experience. 🌟

Frequently Asked Questions
Hypnotherapy & Healing Sessions
What is hypnotherapy, and how does it work?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that helps you access the subconscious mind — where habits, emotions, and beliefs live. Through guided relaxation and focused attention, we can release stuck emotions, rewire patterns, and create deep healing from within.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
Not at all. You remain in full control the entire time. Hypnosis simply creates a calm, receptive state where your subconscious becomes more open to healing suggestions. You’ll be relaxed, aware, and completely safe.
What’s the difference between Reiki, Karuna Ki, and HypnoQi?
- Usui Reiki is the traditional system of energy healing, perfect for calming stress, balancing energy, and restoring peace.
- Karuna Ki Reiki is a more advanced, compassion-focused healing modality that goes deeper into emotional wounds, trauma release, shadow healing, and inner child support. It’s ideal for those who’ve experienced emotional abuse, grief, or shame.
- HypnoQi is my signature blend of Reiki and hypnotherapy. It works on both the energetic and subconscious levels, helping you clear emotional blocks, release limiting beliefs, and reset the nervous system in one powerful session.

Who is this program for?
The I See You Breakthrough Program is for women who feel emotionally drained, stuck in trauma bonds, or caught in toxic relationship cycles. It’s designed to help you release what no longer serves you and reclaim your self-worth and identity.
What if I’ve already left the relationship — is it still for me?
Absolutely. Many clients come after leaving the relationship but still feel confused, triggered, or stuck in old patterns. This program helps you heal the emotional imprint, not just the situation.

Can the program be delivered in co-ed schools?
Yes. The program is adaptable for girls-only, boys-only, or mixed groups. All sessions are age-appropriate, trauma-informed, and delivered with compassion and care.

Can we view the journals before booking the program?
The Self-Healing Journal is available for purchase and viewing at any time.
However, to protect intellectual property, the full classroom workbook is only shared with approved schools upon enrolment. A program info kit with an overview is available on request.
Book & Free Audio – I See You
Is your book just your story, or is it a self-help book?
It’s both. I See You shares my personal journey while guiding you through reflections, truths, and healing tools to help you process your own experiences. It’s written for every woman who feels invisible in a toxic relationship.
What’s included in the Rise Above audio series?
You’ll receive four guided healing sessions:
