  ELLEN'S BLOG
 Take me to the Unconscious

I want to share my thoughts, my musings, and some of my clients’ stories with you here so you have some insight into how inspiring this work is.


Hypnotherapy, or hypnosis as it’s also referred to, has an endless bank of amazing and transformative personal stories. In many of these stories, we resolve a specific problem that you may mistake as having a trivial impact on a person’s life.

What really happens though is that eachchange results in a domino effect on a person’s life, relationships, and happiness.

In each of these stories, my clients dared to take that first step to contact me because they knew they could expect more from their life.

Long Covid: A Case of Mistaken Identity


hypnotherapy for anger

My 37 year old client Daniel had two episodes of Covid. Months later, he felt he had still not recovered, particularly from the feeling of fatigue that filled his days no matter how many hours he slept at night.


Long Covid is a chronic illness that still defies medical treatment. The illness itself mimics many of the symptoms of Covid even though the virus itself has been eradicated.


The medical community suggests that Long Covid is a mistake in the body’s signalling system that inaccurately conveys to the immune system that Covid is still present. Daniel’s immune system doesn’t realise that it has already defeated Covid and is still working tirelessly at destroying it. This is what has been eating up all of his energy and explains why Daniel has not had enough energy to feel productive in his daily life.


In hypnotherapy, I helped him experience a powerful state of trance and helped him convey to his immune system that it can go back to its normal security job. We also helped the unconscious mind to relax the body and to experience wellness. The simple experience of changing the mind’s thoughts, perceptions and emotions to ones that reflect the state of mind of a healthy and vigorous body triggers a healing environment. When the mind experiences wellbeing, that message expands throughout the body’s systems. It promotes congruence with the immune, nervous and the lymphatic systems.

Hypnotherapists do not heal or cure. Instead, we help the mind imagine and experience wellbeing to kickstart the body systems to work in synchronicity and restore normality.


Last I heard, Daniel was feeling more energy every day.


Science has proven many times over that the power of the mind affects our wellbeing. This is already a well-established fact in the fields of epigenetics and the psychoneuroimmunology. The mind, the nervous system, the immune system and the lymphatic system all work in synergy. When one body system experiences change, so do the others. In hypnotherapy, we can persuade the mind to begin the body’s healing journey.
