Meet Teresa

Teresa is a qualified hypnotherapist having completed her training under Kaz Field Anderson, Director Training at Hypnotherapy Training Australia. Hypnotherapy Training Australia is accredited and recognised by the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and is a founding member of Hypnotherapy Council of Australia.

A Brilliant You offers a range of holistic and spiritual healing services as well as hypnotherapy, which separately or combined, depending on your needs and your goals, have the power to effect positive change.

Drawing on her knowledge of psychology and gift for healing and helping others, Teresa will work with you to address trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, phobias or anything that is holding you back from reaching your goals.

She understands that your situation unique and will tailor a program just for you, to address your needs – all you need is an open mind.

Teresa will explain the process and review your treatment goals. Talking to you in a gentle, soothing tone, Teresa may describe images that create a sense of relaxation, security and well-being. Once you are in deep state of relaxation, Teresa will suggest ways for you to reach your goals and help you visualise what success means and looks like to you, in your unique life and circumstances.

It is a safe, complementary and alternative medical treatment. Any adverse reactions are extremely rare, and the risks are very low as the client always maintains complete control. Qualified practitioners like Teresa always make sure that the client is not experiencing any dizziness, headaches or other adverse reaction before the session is over.

Your willingness to attend a session and to try to address a problem or issue of concern to you, is already an indication that you are open to holistic and spiritual healing. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, but it is just one option and may work in conjunction with other therapies and can complement western medicine. Hypnosis and other holistic healing services have different effects on different people. The willingness you have to effect change is what will make the healing service work for you. To be effective, you must be willing, peaceful and trusting.

You lie on a massage table, fully dressed, while a practitioner places their palms on or just over different body parts that are thought to be hubs for energy. The practitioner positions their hands in up to 15 different ways. They decide how long to leave their palms in each spot based on the flow of energy that they perceive they’re feeling through their hands.

Even though you’re resting on a massage table, the practitioner isn’t giving a massage, using pressure, or manipulating your joints. They’re simply using gentle touch at most.

You might feel sensations like heat, tingling, or pulsing where their hands are, or throughout your body. Or you might not notice any changes. Some people get so relaxed that they fall asleep.

A Reiki session usually lasts about 50 minutes. Cost of session $100.

It might. A review of studies found that hands-on Reiki was better than a placebo (a “fake” treatment that researchers use to compare with results of a real treatment in a study) at doing things like lowering resting heart rate and blood pressure. The researchers said that Reiki has also been found to be more effective than placebo at easing anxiety, pain, and depression and at boosting quality of life and self-esteem in people with long-term health conditions.

If you’re getting Reiki for a health condition, you’ll still need to follow your treatment and see your doctor like you usually do. Reiki doesn’t replace your regular medical care. It is complementary.
