Holistic Care

Hypnotherapy & Holistic Care for Women

Sometimes we need support beyond pregnancy and motherhood.

I offer personalised holistic care for women experiencing anxiety, stress, lack of confidence, emotional overwhelm, unwanted habits, difficult experiences or important life transitions.

My approach supports both mind and body. Depending on what you are experiencing and what you would like to change, sessions may include hypnotherapy, therapeutic bodywork or a combination of approaches.

You do not need to have been pregnant or to be a mother to work with me. Doula4me is about supporting women through different stages of life.

How can hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy can help you explore and change patterns that may be holding you back by working with both your conscious and subconscious mind.

It may be particularly helpful if you are experiencing:

  • Anxiety, stress or feeling overwhelmed

  • Lack of confidence or self-belief

  • Fears or phobias

  • Difficult emotions linked to past experiences

  • A period of change or transition

  • Habits you would like to change, such as nail biting, excessive sugar consumption or other repetitive behaviours

  • Difficulty switching off or finding calm

  • Feeling stuck, even when you consciously know what you would like to change

During a session, I use hypnosis and therapeutic techniques to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore new ways of responding to what you are experiencing.

You remain aware and in control throughout. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process designed to help you access your own resources and create changes that feel right for you.

Every woman's journey is unique. For this reason, I combine different holistic tools that support both the body and the subconscious mind. Depending on your needs and intentions, sessions may include:

My Holistic Approach

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to create a focused and deeply relaxed state in which we can explore thoughts, emotions, habits and patterns in a different way.

Rather than simply telling yourself to β€œstop worrying”, β€œbe more confident” or β€œchange a habit”, hypnotherapy allows us to work with the deeper responses that may be contributing to the issue.

The aim is not to change who you are, but to help you access your own resources and develop responses that feel more helpful to you.

Rebozo Bodywork

Rebozo is a traditional form of bodywork using a woven shawl to gently rock, wrap and support the body.

I offer Rebozo as a dedicated treatment as well as using some Rebozo techniques within holistic sessions where appropriate.

HypnoWeave

HypnoWeave combines hypnotherapy with gentle Rebozo bodywork.

While the body is supported through gentle rocking, wrapping or holding with the Rebozo, hypnosis helps encourage a deeper state of relaxation and focus.

This combination can be particularly useful for women who find it easier to relax when the body is involved as well as the mind.

Therapeutic Massage

Gentle bodywork can be incorporated into a session to help you slow down, release physical tension and reconnect with your body.

The approach is adapted to you and may include calming touch, massage or other gentle techniques depending on your needs and preferences.

Often sessions combine several of these approaches to support both the body and the nervous system.

Sessions & Pricing

First Session - Β£90

Approximately 90 minutes.

The first session gives us time to explore what is bringing you to therapy, what you would like to change and the approach that may support you best.

The session may include hypnotherapy, bodywork or a combination of techniques depending on your needs.

Follow-up Sessions - Β£60

Approximately 30-60 minutes.

Follow-up sessions allow us to continue working on your goals and adapt the approach according to how things evolve.

There is no package and no commitment. You can decide after each session whether you would like to continue.

What happens during a session?

Every session begins with a conversation.

We take time to understand what is bringing you to me, what you would like to change and how you would like to feel instead.

From there, I adapt the session using the techniques that feel most appropriate for you.

There is no pressure to achieve a particular state or react in a certain way. You remain aware and in control throughout.

My role is not to tell you what to do. It is to create a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself and explore change at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

β€œBecoming a parent comes with a lot of joy and also some trauma. Through my session with Aude I was able for the first time to see difficult past experiences with compassion and inner peace.Aude created a calm, warm and welcoming environment. She used a mixed of technique from hypnotherapy (gentle guided visualisation) and technique inspired by ancient ritual from Mexico. I would highly recommend Aude's services whether you've just given birth or gave birth a few years ago. You will leave feeling an inner calm.” Marie.
