Astrid helped me with a pain flare up that lasted way too long. After the 1st session I started to feel better. After 4 sessions my fear of movement decreased significantly and I have been able to exercise again. Every session helped me feel lighter and gave me the me necessary space for my recovery.

Astrid is an amazing hypnotherapist. Authentic, compassionate, and so understanding. She has helped me over time and, more recently, helped me to clear some deep-seated grief that had been underlying for some time. I could express my feelings freely, as Astrid is very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. Astrid is my go-to when things don’t feel right. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone who wants to overcome whatever they may be facing.

I wasnt sure if this would work, but after only 3 sessions, I already started to notice a positive difference! Astrid is very kind, caring and understanding, with so much knowledge and experience. It is a very safe and welcoming feeling space. I leave the session feeling lighter, and more positive. Highly recommended!

Life changing. I’ve done three sessions with Astrid so far and am feeling much more uplifted and at peace. Healing is a work in progress and the level of care and attention given by Astrid in all aspects I really feel heard and looked after. I highly recommend her and I can’t wait to continue my healing journey with her. Thank you Astrid you’re truly an angel.

I was referred to Astrid by a friend, and I will be eternally grateful - Nothing can describe the relief of finally, finding something that helped me on such a profound and life changing level. Astrid’s work is truly a gift.After years of trying anything, talk therapy, self-help, meditation - to find something that gives me so much calm, self acceptance and strength has totally transformed my self confidence and outlook. I am never felt so safe and so much self love. Anyone I know that has difficulty they have not been able to shift. I immediately tell them to go and see her!

Astrid was recommended to me by a friend to help with my childhood trauma. Iv gotta say this woman is incredible. Iv just had my second session & straight away I can feel I'm able to regulate my emotions & negative thoughts. I'm heaps more level & feel less constricted. Definitely recommend Astrid.

Astrid is amazing! Hypnosis has been a truly transformative experience for me. Astrid is helping me to address deep-rooted issues and eliminate counter productive behaviours. I’m feeling lighter and more empowered. While counselling helped me to identify patterns of behaviours tied to emotional experiences, Astrid has helped me to eliminate unwanted habits, reactions and behaviours. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.

Thank you Astrid for your expertise and compassion during my health journey with Long Covid. Working with you has made such a positive difference to my self-belief and wellbeing overall. I am incredibly grateful for our sessions via facetime. I found it both convenient and effective to be able to relax at home, whilst being expertly guided by you during our sessions. It also meant I could continue to relax. This was so important and effective for me. Thanks again!

I wish I had met Astrid 20 years ago! Not only is she lovely, down to earth and calming- she is actually brilliant at what she does and has managed to literally turn my life around in a matter of weeks.I genuinely believed I had not much hope to ever get healthy and lose weight (I admit I loved to binge on take away and adored wine in excess) and every attempt at the new fad diets always ended with a pizza and disappointment. But here I am, living proof the miracles can happen and its all thanks to Astrid!!!I know I probably sound like an infomercial but whatever it is you need help with, honestly look no further and do yourself a favour and call Astrid.

Wow, Astrid is amazing. I read the reviews and thought I would try as I have been diagnosed with diabetes. I want to reverse it; I don't want to be on medication. I went to see Astrid and it has been amazing. Totally changed my outlook towards food and my chocolate addiction. Of course, I also have many other issues. Astrid is helping so much with all of them! I cannot believe how much better I feel every day. One session and I am feeling amazing and have lost almost 10 kilos in a very short time which is difficult they say after 50!Thank you so much Astrid. Truly life changing!Highly recommend! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

I am immensely grateful for the profound healing journey I embarked on with Astrid, an extraordinary energy healer and hypnotherapist. In just a few weeks, Astrid's expertise and compassionate approach helped me navigate and overcome past traumas while also providing the key to healing from a debilitating illness that had plagued me for a challenging six months. From the moment I met Astrid, her warm and welcoming nature immediately created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my deepest concerns and vulnerabilities.Astrid's ability to tailor the experience to my needs was truly invaluable. Allowing me to record our sessions not only provided me with a means of revisiting and continuing the healing process in the comfort of my own home, but it also reinforced the positive transformations we achieved during our in-person sessions. Her exceptional skills as a hypnotherapist and energy healer became evident as she guided me through the process of releasing deep-rooted traumas, bringing about a profound shift within me. With newfound clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being, I have experienced a remarkable transformation under Astrid's compassionate guidance.In summary, my experience with Astrid has been nothing short of extraordinary. Her expertise, unwavering dedication, and empathetic nature have played a pivotal role in my healing journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Astrid to anyone seeking profound transformation, emotional healing, and a compassionate guide. She has truly been a remarkable presence in my life, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact she has had on my well-being.

I've had motion sickness quite severely for all of my life. I was at the end of the road after trying absolutely everything out there and that's when I sourced the services of Astrid. My sessions were simple and direct and I felt very comfortable. I have now discovered that I can travel backwards on a tram, can actually read in a moving vehicle and sail on a small rocking boat. I cannot stress enough how the hypnotherapy has altered my life and I can't begin to thank Astrid enough for her assistance. I truly am a different person!

I have Immense respect for Astridâ€™s caring, clarity, wisdom, and skill. I had unexpected side benefits from our work together. Her compassion, understanding and caring nature is an inspiration. Her PA is a pleasure to speak with also ????. I would highly recommend Astrid to anyone considering Hypnotheraoy, Energy Healing or EFT Tapping.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I first saw Astrid however I have been blown away.I went to see Astrid after I got to a place making unhealthy eating choices and putting on weight.Since I have seen Astrid, I am making healthy choices, I am calm and in control of my environment, I have more energy, I am sleeping better. The whole experience and outcomes have been AMAZING!I did not understand the impact that only three sessions could have and since this time I have recommended friends to go and see Astrid too. It has been amazing and I thankyou Astrid from the bottom of my heart.

I first went to Astrid nearly 10 years ago and am still a regular customer. I can't recommend her service highly enough. She is a beautiful human who seems to have magic powers when it comes to healing. After each session I walk out feeling calm relaxed and focused. I feel so lucky to have found someone I trust and who truly delivers as holistic healer.

I had 3 sessions with Astrid and it felt like a switch flipped in my mind! Astrid is very caring and supportive. Her voice is soothing and relaxing. Thank you for your support, Astrid!

I found Astridâ€™s website and couldnâ€™t believe that someone out there might truly understand what I was experiencing, the hole of despair, anxiety and fear I found myself in after going through an emotionally traumatic relationship and separation.I walked into my first hypnotherapy and energy healing session a shaky and overwhelmed mess, the stress had ruminated so physically in my stomach I wasnâ€™t eating, my entire body was tense and I was barely able to describe what I was feeling, how I wanted to feel or even what my expectation was. Astrid listened to my story, for the first time I felt heard and validated, and because of her openness in sharing her own lifeâ€™s experience, I was immediately reassured that I was safe and understood and that healing was very possible. I left that day feeling lighter than I may have ever felt in my life, my nervous system was calm and my thoughts were clear.During my second session, I suppose you could say she â€œwent a little deeperâ€ pulling energy that does not serve or belong to me, replacing it with stillness in thought, strength and confidence.I am so grateful to have found Astrid and canâ€™t wait to continue this healing journey with her.Astrid, you are a true healer and possibly the warmest, most compassionate, non-judgemental human I have ever met. Thankyou.

After a couple of sessions with Astrid for anxiety relief and the removal of stagnant energy, I can not recommend her enough. She is incredibly easy to talk to, professional yet relatable. If you are looking for something to combine talk therapy with... hypnosis is it!

Astrid is more than a hypnotist! She is the ultimate problem solver. I have referred friends to her. She will do whatever it takes to get the positive results you are after! If anything else is required she will then refer you to the right person. A broker of great information/possibilities and knowledge! You can't ask for more than that!

After years of putting it off, I finally confronted some long held personal habits that were holding me back from being the person I wanted to be. I chose Astrid after some recommendations and found her to be the catalyst to my road to recovery. I can honestly say that after 5 sessions I am a totally new guy and whatsmore feel that these changes are going to be permanent. I was apprehensive about the zoom sessions we had to undertake during lockdown but found them equally as beneficial and no way detracted from the overall experience. Indeed ,It allowed me to relax and seek meditative guidance in my own relaxed atmosphere at home

I have been to few healers in the last 7 years and got some relief but the problems and issues will come up again . I was not able to find permanent solution to what I was looking for and what was hurting me .With Astrid I felt that the process was so organic . Within the first 3 sessions I overcame my guilt and anxiety that I had been carrying for years .She understands you and never judges you which is very important for me as I cannot be myself if I feel someone is judging me for everything I say.She is a true healer and love the tapping and hypno sessions with her as after every session I have had a breakthrough .Astrid thank you so much and will see you very soon

Astrid is incredibly kind, supportive and caring. Through her support and guidance I've been able to manage my anxieties and have learnt tools to set boundaries and protect my energy. Astrid's hypnotherapy and energy healing techniques really work and I've noticed a huge difference in my mental health and wellbeing. Thank you Astrid, I look forward to my next visit.

Astrid is like my guardian Angel! I had been in and out of eating disorders for 20years. After 2 Hypno and tapping sessions with Astrid, my urges had gone. Astrid is something special. The 3 different modalities (hypnosis, energy healing and tapping) that Astrid uses are a amazingly effective combination! After 20years of fear, I feel safe around food which is such a liberating feeling. I feel so grateful to have found Astrid and would recommend any long term â€œself-sabbatagerâ€ to give Astrid a call ????
