Break unwanted patterns and create lasting change with hypnotherapy and hypnosis in Mackay, Queensland.
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful way to release limiting patterns, strengthen confidence, and create lasting positive change. By working with the subconscious mind, it helps you shift habits, calm stress, and reconnect with your inner resources for growth, healing, and resilience.
Each session is individually tailored and can also integrate energy healing and mind-body techniques for a deeper, fully supported transformation.
✔ Online or in-studio sessions available
✔ Safe, gentle, and client-guided process
Many people come to hypnotherapy feeling trapped in patterns they genuinely want to change but can’t seem to. You may recognise this in yourself as:
Repeating habits you wish you could stop
Constant stress or overthinking
Low confidence or self-doubt, even when things seem fine
Procrastination or feeling unmotivated
Emotional patterns that keep repeating
Reaching for food, alcohol, cigarettes, or distractions when stressed
Trouble switching off or sleeping well
Saying yes when your whole body wants to say no
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower — they are programs stored in the subconscious mind, shaping many of your automatic habits, emotional responses, and behaviours.
Hypnotherapy gently guides you into a relaxed, focused state, where your subconscious becomes open to positive, lasting change. From here, the patterns that kept you stuck can start to shift naturally.
With the right support, meaningful change often feels more achievable and less effortful than you might expect.
Hypnotherapy is a safe, therapeutic process that taps into your natural, focused state of attention. In this state, your mind is absorbed, present, and open — like being fully immersed in a book, meditation, or guided journey.
You remain fully aware and in control. You cannot be made to do anything you don’t want to do, and you can speak, move, or leave the state at any time.
My role is to guide you into deep relaxation and focus, then use gentle, tailored suggestions, imagery, and inner exploration to support the changes you want to make.
Because hypnotherapy works with the subconscious — the part of the mind that holds long-standing patterns — shifts often happen more smoothly and naturally than conscious effort alone.
It can be used on its own for specific goals or alongside other approaches, such as Reiki, Access Bars, coaching, or mind-body techniques. Many people use hypnotherapy to:
Break unwanted habits and addictions
Reduce stress and anxiety
Improve sleep and relaxation
Build confidence and self-esteem
Strengthen motivation, focus, and performance
Hypnotherapy supports positive change from the inside out, helping you move toward outcomes that truly matter to you.
For most of every day - over 90% - we operate from automatic habits and subconscious patterns. We spend less than 10% of our waking life in conscious thought. This is why, even when we want to change, old patterns often persist. It is simply easier - especially when we are stressed, busy, or emotionally overwhelmed - to operate from habit rather than conscious decision-making.
Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a state of focused relaxation where you can bypass your mind's gatekeeper and work with the subconscious level directly:
Your mind becomes receptive to positive suggestions
Automatic habits and emotional patterns can be gently shifted
Self-limiting beliefs can be reframed
Inner resources like confidence, motivation, and calmness can be strengthened
Hypnosis can be used for:
Breaking repetitive habits and addictions, such as smoking, overthinking, or emotional eating
Reducing stress and anxiety and feeling emotionally regulated
Improved sleep and relaxation
Increased self-belief, positive self-talk, and confidence
Stronger motivation and focus, making tasks easier to start and complete
Emotional shifts toward hope, resilience, and self-compassion
More balanced relationships with food, body, work, and self-care
Clarity and resilience in overcoming limiting beliefs and emotional blocks
I offer clients the opportunity to experience blend hypnotherapy sessions with Reiki, Access Bars, coaching, or other modalities to support change on subconscious, emotional, energetic, and physical levels. This creates a fully supported, inside-out transformation.
Many studies have proven that hypnotherapy can assist with creating positive change across most areas of life.
Soothe an overworked nervous system, ease emotional overload, and feel calmer, more resilient, and energised
Quiet mental chatter, ease worry, and support restorative sleep for better physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing
Release patterns such as alcohol overuse, sugar cravings, nail biting, excess screen-time & other negative habits
Boost confidence, focus, and performance in just about anything - career, sport, study, creativity, public speaking, relationships, achieving goals - even under pressure
Move from stuck and overwhelmed into aligned action. Build focus, momentum, and drive so starting and completing tasks feels achievable
Strengthen self-belief, cultivate optimism, and nurture a kinder inner voice for more empowered confidence in life, work, and relationships
Break free from cravings and habitual triggers, replacing old routines with lasting, smoke-free habits
Shift emotional eating patterns, manage cravings, & create a respectful relationship with food, exercise & your body
Shift limiting beliefs, inner critic patterns, self-doubt, and other blocks that prevent you from stepping into your full potential
Blending hypnotherapy with complementary mind–body modalities for deeper transformation
At Love In Action Reiki & Hypnotherapy, every session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs. Hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind, while modalities such as Reiki, Access Bars, guided meditation, and other mind-body techniques support the release of emotional and energetic tension held in your body and nervous system.
When blended intentionally, these approaches create a deeply supportive environment for change, allowing shifts to occur on mental, emotional, and energetic levels. Clients notice they can relax more fully, access insight more easily, and experience changes that feel natural, aligned, and lasting.
This gentle pairing supports both the subconscious mind and the body’s energy system. Hypnotherapy releases limiting patterns, while Reiki fosters deep relaxation, emotional balance, and receptivity to meaningful transformation.
Often helpful for: stress, burnout, emotional healing, releasing old patterns, restoring inner balance
Access Bars releases mental clutter and energetic congestion. Combined with hypnotherapy, clients often experience mental spaciousness, making it easier to shift beliefs, reduce overthinking, and install empowering subconscious patterns.
Often helpful for: overthinking, decision fatigue, stress, overwhelm, creating clarity
A deep mind-body reset that works across multiple levels simultaneously, calming the nervous system, clearing energetic blockages, and guiding the subconscious toward new patterns. Ideal for clients ready for deeper transformation or a full energetic reset.
Every person’s journey is unique, and sessions are designed to support you. Hypnotherapy addresses the subconscious mind, while energy-based modalities release tension stored in the body and nervous system. Together, these approaches create a safe container for change from the inside out — helping you move forward with clarity, calm, and confidence.

True transformation rarely happens through one technique alone. Hypnotherapy works with the mind, energy healing supports the body and emotions, Access Bars quiet mental clutter, inner child and trauma work address unresolved emotional patterns, and coaching provides guidance for practical life changes.

Hypnotherapy at Love In Action is a gentle, collaborative, and heart-centred process. Every session is designed to meet you where you are, helping you feel relaxed, safe, and supported as you move toward meaningful, lasting change.
Here’s a look at how a session generally unfolds, while remaining flexible and personalised to your needs.
Step 1 – Initial Consultation & Nervous System Reset (2–2.5 hours)
Your first session is an opportunity to slow down, connect, and set clear intentions for our work together.
During this session we will:
explore what you’d like support with
discuss the patterns or challenges that have been holding you back
answer your questions about hypnotherapy
co-create the focus and outcomes for your sessions
You may find it helpful for this first session to include a relaxation element — such as Reiki, Access Bars, breathwork, or a short stress-reduction hypnosis. This helps to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind and create feelings of comfort and safety as we get acquainted before deeper subconscious work begins.
Step 2 – Pre-Talk & Setting Your Intention
At the start of each session, we do a brief check-in to review your progress, refine your goals, and ensure the session is fully aligned with your needs.
This conversation ensures your session is personalised, no matter your goals.
Step 3 – Entering a Deeply Relaxed, Focused State
Next, I gently guide you into hypnosis using calming words, breath, and focused attention. You may notice:
your body relaxing
your breathing slowing
your attention turning inward, like a peaceful meditation or daydream
You are always aware, in control, and can adjust or step out of hypnosis at any time. Once comfortably relaxed, we may deepen this state with guided imagery or calming suggestions, so your subconscious mind becomes open and receptive to positive change.
You don’t need to “try” — your mind naturally goes to the level that is right for you.
Step 4 – Therapeutic Subconscious Work
From this relaxed state, we begin working directly with the subconscious patterns connected to your goals.
This may include:
positive, future-focused suggestions
reframing old beliefs or habits
guided imagery and inner exploration
strengthening resources like confidence, calm, motivation, or boundaries
For blended sessions, Reiki or Access Bars may be incorporated after the hypnotherapy session to support emotional and energetic release alongside subconscious repatterning.
Step 5 – Returning to Wakeful Awareness
Once the work is complete, I gently guide you back to full everyday awareness. Most people report feeling:
calm and relaxed
mentally clear
refreshed and grounded
We take a few moments to reflect on the session, answer questions, and plan your next steps, ensuring the changes are integrated and supported.
Step 6 – Integration & Reinforcement
Real transformation happens when new patterns are reinforced over time.
Between sessions, you may receive:
simple practices to use daily
journaling prompts
personalised recordings
intuitive guidance to strengthen integration
These tools help the positive changes become natural and lasting in your everyday life.
While everyone’s journey is unique, many hypnotherapy studies find that 3–6 focused sessions allow enough time to create and stabilise meaningful change.
Your sessions can take place online or in person, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. Both formats are equally effective.
Online Sessions:
Relax in your own home in a familiar, safe environment
All modalities, except Access Bars, are fully effective at a distance
You’ll need a quiet space, a device with camera/internet, and headphones if possible
In-Studio Sessions:
Enjoy a peaceful, dedicated healing environment for full immersion
Ideal for hands-on energy work or in-person coaching
Step away from daily responsibilities and focus fully on your transformation
Choosing the Right Option:
The best format is the one that allows you to feel safe, supported, and fully present. If you’re unsure, we can discuss it during your free 15-minute consultation.
A Mind-Body Approach to Lasting Change
Traditional hypnotherapy services focus solely on the mind. At Love In Action in Mackay, Queensland, your experience is offered in a wider, more holistic container - one that honours your mind, body, nervous system, energy, and practical life changes.
The transformation focus isn’t just “in your head.” It’s supported through your whole being, so change feels natural, integrated, and deeply sustainable.
A Truly Holistic, Trauma-Aware Approach
Your sessions draw on my experience in Reiki, guided imagery, emotional release work, inner child healing, Access Bars, intuitive coaching, and subconscious reframing - not just hypnotherapy.
This means you are met where you are emotionally, energetically, and spiritually, moving at a pace that feels safe, grounded, and deeply respectful of your history.
This integrated approach is especially supportive if you:
feel traditional hypnotherapy is too clinical or one-dimensional
feel stuck in emotional, behavioural or fear-based patterns
carry stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or nervous system fatigue
are sensitive, intuitive, or empathic
Personalised Sessions - Modern Hypnotherapy or Blended for Deeper Transformation
Hypnotherapy can be used as a stand-alone modality to address specific issues - breaking habits, improving sleep, managing stress, or boosting confidence. Even a single focused session can create meaningful change by working directly with your subconscious mind.
For a deeper, multi-layered transformation, sessions can be blended with complementary mind–body modalities tailored to your needs that day, such as:
Hypnotherapy – subconscious change and habit transformation
Reiki – calming the nervous system and restoring energetic balance
Access Bars – quieting mental noise and releasing stuck energy
Breathwork & Guided Meditation – supporting emotional resilience and nervous system regulation
Intuitive Mentoring & Coaching – helping you integrate insights into daily life
This approach allows us to address mental, emotional, physical, energetic, and subconscious layers simultaneously, creating a session that is unique, fully personalised, safe, and deeply supportive.
Whether you choose hypnotherapy alone or a blended session, my promise is that: every experience is designed around your goals, pace, and comfort, helping you step into lasting change with confidence and ease.
A Safe, Nurturing Space for Sensitives and Empaths
Love In Action Reiki & Hypnotherapy is a haven for empaths, sensitives, and those carrying emotional or nervous system intensity - people who don’t always feel safe in talk-based therapy environments.
Sessions are gentle, non-judgmental, and deeply validating, with a focus on:
nervous system regulation
emotional safety
healthy boundaries
empowerment and self-trust
You are encouraged to check in with your body, ask questions, and co-create the process, so transformation feels supported and embodied.
Subconscious & Energetic Change Work - Grounded in Heart and Intuition
Reiki, Access Bars, guided imagery, and intuitive energy work naturally complement hypnotherapy, supporting relaxed awareness, subconscious insight, and the body’s innate healing intelligence.
What this means for you:
Support from someone who understands both hypnotherapy and the subtle language of intuition and energy
Change work that feels physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually aligned, grounded, and deeply human
A process that is never cold or clinical — always heart-centred, safe, and personally supportive
Many studio clients notice how safe and relaxed they feel from the start - with a common reflection being: "I feel so safe here and can instantly relax."
This sense of safety and ease is the foundation for deep subconscious change and genuine healing.
Ongoing Support, Not Just a Single Session
Your transformation is not a one-off event. Between sessions, you may receive:
simple practices to use daily
journaling prompts
personalised recordings
intuitive guidance to strengthen integration
This ensures that your hypnotherapy journey becomes a supported process, helping new patterns become familiar and natural in your everyday life.
Whether online or in the studio, sessions offer the same personalised, effective support.
Online: Relax deeply in your own home - energy work and blended modalities work fully at a distance.
In-studio: Immerse yourself in a peaceful, dedicated healing environment - perfect for hands-on energy work or coaching.
Both formats are equally supportive. The best choice is whatever helps you feel safe, comfortable, and fully present.

I saw Susie when my energy levels were the lowest they have ever been. Even getting out of bed felt like a struggle and I knew something had to change.
After just one hypnosis session I felt aligned again. My sleep improved and my energy returned. I even got more clarity on something I struggled with.
I’m so grateful to Susie for her gentle, powerful work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had an online Hypnotherapy session with Suzie this morning, & it was wonderful. She has a very calm, serene manner and gentle voice, and took time to understand what I wanted to achieve. I felt very relaxed & refreshed following the session and trust that it will help me progress my business in the weeks to come.

Most people describe hypnosis as a deeply relaxed and focused state, similar to meditation or becoming absorbed in a book or movie. You remain aware of what is happening and can hear my voice throughout the session. Many people feel calm, comfortable and mentally clear during hypnosis.
No. You remain in control at all times. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process and you cannot be made to do anything against your values or wishes. You can speak, move or end the session whenever you choose.
Many people worry that they won’t be able to relax enough or that their mind is “too busy” for hypnosis. In reality, you don’t need to completely switch off your thoughts for hypnotherapy to work.
It’s very normal for thoughts to drift in and out during hypnosis. The important part is simply allowing yourself to follow the guidance and relax as much as you comfortably can. Even people who feel they have very active minds are often surprised by how naturally their body begins to settle.
If relaxation is difficult at first, we can also include gentle nervous system support techniques such as breathwork, Reiki or guided relaxation to help you settle into the process.What if I can’t “switch off” my mind during hypnosis?
The hypnotic state is the same natural state that people experience as a part of every day - For example when you are reading a great book, watching an engrossing movie, daydreaming, being deeply absorbed in an activity or even just driving your car.
Most people can experience hypnosis if they are willing and open to the process.
People who have experienced a Reiki or Access Bars session would have been in this state for much of their session.
Stage hypnosis is designed purely for entertainment and involves volunteers performing playful suggestions in front of an audience.
Hypnotherapy is very different. It is a therapeutic process used to support positive change, relaxation, and personal growth in a safe and respectful environment.
Hypnotherapy can support many areas of personal change, including:
• breaking unwanted habits (such as smoking or nail biting)
• reducing stress and anxiety
• improving sleep
• building confidence and self-esteem
• increasing motivation and focus
• shifting limiting beliefs and emotional patterns
Sessions can be tailored to your individual goals.
A typical session includes:
• a brief conversation about your goals
• gentle relaxation and hypnotic induction
• subconscious work using tailored suggestions, imagery or reframing
• returning to full awareness and discussing the experience
Whether you attend hypnotherapy sessions in Mackay, Queensland, or choose to work online, the structure of the session remains the same and is tailored to your personal goals
You can read more about my hypnotherapy process in the sections above.
Hypnotherapy is a natural process that most people can experience when they feel comfortable and open to the session. Like any personal development work, results can vary depending on the person, their goals and their readiness for change.
My role is to create a safe, supportive environment and tailor each session to your needs. Even if hypnosis feels subtle at first, many clients still notice shifts in awareness, perspective or behaviour over time.
If you’re unsure, starting with a consultation can help you explore whether hypnotherapy feels like the right fit for you.
This varies depending on your goals and the patterns you would like to change. Some people notice positive shifts after a single session, while others benefit from a short series of sessions.
For many goals, 3–6 sessions allows enough time to create and stabilise meaningful change
Yes. Reiki and other forms of energy work can be offered at a distance and are commonly practiced this way around the world. These modalities can still be incorporated into online sessions if you choose a blended approach.
No. Hypnosis does not remove your ability to choose what you say or share.
You remain aware and in control throughout the session and will only speak about what you feel comfortable discussing. Hypnotherapy is not about forcing memories or revealing secrets - it is about working with your subconscious mind to support positive change in a safe and respectful way.
Your privacy and comfort are always respected.
Many people explore hypnotherapy when they feel ready to make a change but aren’t sure how to shift patterns that keep repeating.
Hypnotherapy may be a supportive approach if you:
✔ feel stuck in habits or behaviours you want to change
✔ notice your mind returning to the same worries or stress patterns
✔ want to build confidence or strengthen boundaries
✔ feel ready to shift subconscious beliefs that may be holding you back
✔ are open to relaxation-based approaches that work with the subconscious mind
✔ would like support that honours both emotional and energetic wellbeing
If you’re feeling ready for change — or simply wondering whether hypnotherapy could support you — a short conversation is the perfect place to start. And best of all, it costs nothing.
During your free 15-minute consultation, we can talk about what you’d like help with, answer any questions you may have about hypnosis, and explore whether hypnotherapy or a blended session would be the right approach for you.
There’s no pressure and no obligation — just a supportive space to learn more and see what feels right for you.
Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Access Bars and other forms of Energy Healing are gentle, non-invasive techniques intended to promote relaxation and well-being. Hypnotherapy, Reiki & Energy practitioners do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe substances, or perform medical treatment, nor do they interfere with the care provided by licensed medical professionals. These treatments are not a substitute for medical or psychological diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. Always consult your physician or qualified healthcare provider for any physical or psychological concerns. These should be viewed as complementary supportive practices to complement, not replace, conventional medical care.
