Hypnotherapy in Newcastle & Tea Gardens
Reiki and Energy Healing in Newcastle
If you are worn out rather than unwell, and you would like an hour where nothing is asked of you, this is the gentlest thing I offer. You lie down fully clothed and I do the work.
Ring me and tell me what you are after. If Reiki is not the right thing for you I will say so. The first conversation is free.
I offer Reiki in my rooms at Lambton and in Tea Gardens. It is a gentle practice from Japan: you lie fully clothed on a treatment table and I rest my hands lightly on or just above you, working through a sequence of positions. It also works from a distance and incorporated during the hypnosis session. It sits alongside your medical care and hypnosis, rather than in place of it. Feel free to decline this powerful healing modality if you wish to only receive hypnotherapy.
What people book it for
Rest, mostly. Recovery after a hard stretch, or the flat feeling that follows a long run of stress. I have found myself using it for pain with clients who were having trouble relaxing into the hypnosis due to pain. Some clients book it between hypnotherapy sessions, some receive it during the hypnotherapy and others book it on its own.
You do not need to believe anything in particular for it to be worth doing, and you will not be asked to. Lying still for an hour while somebody attends to you is not something most people give themselves.
I have worked in health and wellness for over thirty years and I am a certified Reiki practitioner. What I will not do is tell you it treats an illness, because that is your doctor's work.
What Reiki is, and what it is like
The question I am asked most on the phone
What it is
A gentle practice that came out of Japan in 1922 by Mikao Usui. You lie fully clothed on a treatment table and I rest my hands lightly on or just above you, working through a sequence of positions channeling energy.
What people notice
A beautiful sense of calm, stillness and relaxation afterwards are what clients describe to me most. Some experience warmth and tingling,others have an emotional release or a sense of clarity. Some fall asleep, which I take as a compliment.
Where it sits
It is a relaxation practice that sits alongside your hypnotherapy and medical care rather than in place of it.
What happens in a session
One to one, in my own rooms, fully clothed on a treatment table
First
We talk first
What has been going on, what you are hoping for, and anything I should know about your health. This is also where I tell you honestly if I think something else would serve you better.
Then
Then you lie down and rest
You stay fully clothed under a blanket while I work through the hand positions, resting lightly or hovering just above. There is no massage and nothing is manipulated.
Last
Then we sit with a glass of water
People are often slower afterwards than they expect, so we take a moment before you drive. I will tell you what I noticed and hear how it was for you.

“I felt very safe with Brenda. She took the time to clearly understand what I needed... I could let go of the self-talk that was holding me in such a contracted space.”

“I was agitated, emotional and overworked beforehand. Now I am back feeling like my aligned self... We released grief and also emotions that were trapped in me where I really didn't feel like myself. I can't explain how at peace I feel now.”

Your part in it
Hypnotherapy is not something that is done to you. You play an active part in it, and it takes determination and commitment on your behalf. When it goes well, we have achieved that together, and the part you played in it is a real one.
All you need is an open mind, to be able to follow simple instructions and want the change for yourself, not because someone else wants the change.
Where you can have it
If you are not sure which suits you, ring me and we will work it out on the phone.
The pages under this one say what each piece of work involves: distance Reiki from Newcastle. If you are not sure which fits, the rest of what I do is the place to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is energy healing the same as Reiki?
The energy work I do is Reiki, so on my pages they mean the same thing. I would rather say that plainly than let the two sound like separate services.
Do I have to believe in it?
Not at all, and you will not be asked to. Come and see how you find it.
Can I have Reiki and hypnotherapy?
Yes, and some clients have Reiki between their hypnotherapy sessions. We can talk about what suits you.
Do I have to undress?
You stay fully clothed the whole time. Wear something comfortable.
Will you touch me?
Lightly, on or just above the body, in set positions. Tell me if you would rather I kept my hands hovering only, and that is perfectly fine.
Does it treat illness?
It is a relaxation practice and it sits alongside your medical care rather than in place of it. Anything medical belongs with your doctor.
How often should I come?
Some people come once and others monthly. Ask me at your first session and I will give you my honest view rather than a package.
Can I have it if I cannot get to Lambton?
Yes. I offer distance Reiki anywhere in Australia or overseas, and there is a page on it here.
What if I fall asleep?
A good many people do, and I take it as a compliment rather than a problem.
Where are your rooms?
Suite 5, 115 Elder Street, Lambton NSW 2299, and I also see people at Tea Gardens.
Is hypnotherapy covered by Medicare?
No. Medicare doesn't cover hypnotherapy, and it can't be claimed on a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Whether your private health fund pays anything back depends on your fund and your extras cover, so it's worth checking with them before you book. If you'd like to talk it through first, book a free phone call with me.
