About Mind Garden Hypnotherapy
Sara Wilson at Mind Garden Hypnotherapy and Mind Garden Kids provides a range of hypnotherapy services tailored to the individual
Sara is a clinical hypnotherapist with a practice at her home in Christchurch, New Zealand. Sara originally trained as a primary school teacher in England and taught in both London and New Zealand. She became in interested in Hypnosis when she was studying to be a teacher and often used relaxation and visualisation within the classroom setting. Later on when she came to New Zealand she became much more interested in hypnotherapy and did extensive research which gave her a much deeper understanding of clinical hypnotherapy and its applications.
A few years later when she became pregnant with her first child she decided to do Hypnobirthing. That experience changed her life! “I just couldn’t believe that I would be able to give birth without any pain but that is exactly what happened”. It was then that she decided to study to be a hypnotherapist but with a new baby to look after it was a few years later that she finally enrolled on the Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy course offered by the Professional School of Hypnotherapy and is currently completing her final portfolio.
When Sara’s son, Jake, was diagnosed with Leukemia, she used hypnotherapy in a number of ways to help him. Part of his treatment involved taking pills, sometimes up to 10 a day. As the chemo made him sicker he built up an aversion to taking the pills to the point where he would feel sick or vomit if they were even mentioned. She ended up taking him to a fantastic hypnotherapist and the change was amazing. He came out of the first session saying I can take my pills now and Sara came out thinking “That is what I want to do”.
Sara now enjoys working with both adults and children, especially those who are facing the challenges of illness. She continues to enjoy providing a free monthly relaxation and stress relief session to the mothers and fathers at the Child Cancer Foundation.

Birth Journey
$95 per session
Hypnobirthing gives you the power to birth your baby in the best possible way. When mothers are relaxed and in control they experience the birth process in a completely different way. Using a combination of deep relaxation, breathing techniques, birth visualisation and pain control hypnosis sessions at your own home or at my practice both mum and dad are able to be active participants in the birthing process. Often dads are keen to be involved in the hypnosis process and I am happy to train them so that they are able to bring about a state of deep relaxation in their partners.

I would love your help with a new project I am working on.
Are you one of the millions of people that are affected by anxiety or depression? Do you have physical responses to your anxiety such as sleeplessness, fast breathing and raised heart rate, stomach or digestive issues? If so I would love your help!
I am developing a course including mindfulness, hypnotherapy, visualisation and relaxation techniques to help reduce stress and anxiety. This includes lots of practical tools that you can apply in your everyday life. Each week also includes a free recording that you can take home and practice with.
If this sounds like something you or someone you know would be interested in, I will be running a free pilot session in the next month or so. Places will be limited and I will be looking for your commitment to provide feedback to inform my decisions around the final course content. If you would like to be considered for this please either reply to this post or message me directly and I will give you more information.
The course would cover the following issues. But it would be great to know if you have any other ideas:
1. Dealing with negative self talk
2. Controlling emotional responses
3. Improving sleep
4. Relaxation techniques
5. Improving “foggy” thinking
Thanks everyone and please share with anyone you think would benefit 🙂

I think that this is the essence of hypnosis. Whether you want to stop smoking, lose weight, or reduce stress and anxiety, in that wonderfully relaxed state we get to change what we focus on. We give energy to our dreams, to the best versions of ourselves 🙂 What do you choose to focus on today?

I just love this story! If we live mindfully we get to really enjoy what we have right now. Is it time to reevaluate what is important to you?

Do you want to eat more healthily but find yourself reaching for an extra biscuit with your cuppa without even consciously thinking about it? We so often self sabotage ourselves because we are running programs in our mind that were set up long ago. Cup of tea = relaxing 5 minutes = biscuit. Your brain goes on autopilot because you have done it so many times before. In a deeply relaxed state you have the opportunity to change these programs to what YOU want.
