My Story
I created My Wellness Mindset in 2020 during maternity leave with the hopes of educating and inspiring others on Mental Health and how to improve it. I have since worked with over 100 men, women, and children for a range of concerns such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress, ADHD, life transitions, and relationships. While I enjoy working with a range of clients, I would have to say that my specialty lies in attachment and relationships (which can be done either in couples therapy or individually to explore your role in relationships).
I believe in using an integrated approach to therapy, meaning that there is no "one size fits all" or "magic pill" that works for everyone, each individual and their circumstances are unique, and as such require a unique approach. In saying that, I predominately draw upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques due to their effectiveness and scientific backing.
I think what makes me different from many other therapists is my life experience. I grew up in the foster care system and have experienced first-hand some of the biggest challenges life can throw at you, which I believe helps me create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable exploring some of their most difficult moments.
Hello, I'm Jess!
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of the mind, the wisdom of the body, intuition, and our innate ability to heal. While training as a Certified Health Coach over 10 years ago, I felt like something was missing in our approach to healing on all levels. Through my own spiritual and self development journey, I now understand more about our multidimensional nature - that there are aspects of ourselves beyond what we consciously perceive and these aspects can affect us in our day to day lives in profound ways.
This understanding led me to train in regressive hypnosis, which allows the individual to move beyond their conscious mind and access their own higher guidance system, which is the ultimate authority. I feel incredibly honoured, humbled and excited to be doing this transformative work.
When I’m not facilitating QHHT sessions I’m running a design studio, spending time with family, dancing, reading, painting, writing and studying.”
Interesting Fact: I remember past lives in Avalon and Egypt. I was a custodian of ancient, secret knowledge and am here now to remember it and share it.
What is QHHT?
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) is a regressive hypnosis modality developed by renowned hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon. Through QHHT we can access past lives and the subconscious, or what some might call the Higher Self. This technique allows us to pin-point where issues, patterns or concerns are originating from and clear them in most cases.
My clients are usually seeking a higher perspective on their life purpose, better access to their intuition, guidance or insight around key relationships, and clarity around important life decisions or transitions. Some also ask for and receive, physical healing. Many are curious about their past lives. All information is provided by the Higher Self while the client is in a safe and natural trance state, and all sessions are recorded.
