My Journey Into Hypnotherapy: When the Universe Calls, You Answer

I never planned to become a therapist. In fact, the very idea terrified me - the thought of someone placing their complete trust in me to help solve their deepest problems felt overwhelming. But sometimes life has other plans.

 

Twelve months ago, everything in my life felt like it was shifting. I was going through changes that left me feeling unsettled, like something profound was about to happen. Then I heard Marisa Peer on a podcast I regularly follow, and something deep inside me screamed "DO THIS." Not think about it, not doubt it, not talk myself out of it before I'd even started - just do it.

The very next day, I called her company and enrolled in RTT training. I changed jobs to accommodate the course hours and dove in completely. My twin sister became my greatest supporter, transforming our spare room into a study space, complete with a bookcase adorned with a plaque reading "Your next chapter is going to be amazing."

​

The journey wasn't easy. Some weeks flowed with excitement and inspiration, while others brought life's inevitable challenges that threatened to knock me off course. But I never stopped. I acknowledged those niggling monkey mind thoughts, talked them around, and kept moving forward. With each passing week, I became stronger, more determined, and more inspired by the difference I could make in lives like mine - like my sister's, who has been my unwavering rock throughout this transformation.

What Makes Me Unique: From Retail to Healing Hearts

My path to hypnotherapy is unconventional. I come from a retail background with zero formal therapy training, having never intended to venture into this field. For years, I thrived in fast-paced retail environments, building confidence through quick banter with colleagues who became my extended family and forming connections with regular customers I'd see weekly.

 

But I've always been naturally empathetic - drawn to those who need help, a listening ear, or gentle guidance. This trait served me well as I climbed the ladder to become a people manager, where colleagues would naturally turn to me for support. Yet I never imagined this would lead to therapy.

 

What truly makes me unique is that I embarked on this training not to help others initially, but to transform myself. I wanted to become the individual I knew I could be - confident, powerful in my thoughts, assertive, and authentically myself 100% of the time. This approach resonated with me because it offered something different from traditional methods, moving away from medication toward rewiring beliefs and upgrading thoughts, feelings, and emotions one heart and soul at a time.

My Twin Story: The Heartbeat of Everything I Do

Being an identical twin isn't just part of my identity - it's the very heartbeat of my existence. There's no greater bond than the connection my sister and I share. From childhood, it felt like "us against the world," and while that dynamic has evolved, I wouldn't be where I am today without her constant presence in my life.

​

We live wonderfully separate yet intertwined lives - different careers, different friends (though some overlap), different hobbies, thoughts, and feelings. This is what makes us such a formidable twin team. We're best friends who speak daily, live together by choice, and despite busy schedules that sometimes keep us apart, we prioritize quality time each week to catch up, recharge, and reconnect.

​

The most beautiful part? When I'm away from her, there's always that excited anticipation knowing I have so much more to share when we reunite. This connection has been both my greatest strength and, as I discovered through my own work, the source of some of my deepest challenges.

The Revelation: When Hypnotherapy Showed Me the Twin Blueprint

Through my own hypnotherapy sessions, I uncovered something remarkable. Many of my presenting problems- confidence issues, financial beliefs, relationship struggles, even my asthma - traced back to being an identical twin. The most surprising revelation came during a session about my breathing condition. My subconscious revealed that at just three or four years old, I had unconsciously taken on my sister's asthma, wanting to protect her from her attacks.

​

These discoveries showed me how our childhood experiences as twins create powerful subconscious blueprints that shape who we become, often without our conscious awareness. Working through these patterns hasn't diminished our bond - it's made us even stronger. We're now formidable both as individuals and as a twin pair, each authentic at our core while maintaining our extraordinary connection.

My Approach: Meeting Twins Where They Don't Know They Need Help

My philosophy centers on authentic connection and understanding what twins don't even realize they're doing to themselves. So many challenges we face - identity struggles, relationship difficulties, fear of separation, guilt around individual success - stem from being a twin, yet we rarely make these connections consciously.

​

I meet twins exactly where they are, helping them uncover and transform subconscious patterns while enhancing rather than diminishing their precious twin bond. It's about becoming remarkably powerful individuals who celebrate their authentic selves while maintaining that magical connection that makes twins so extraordinary.

Who I Am Beyond Therapy?

I'm a determined, honest, joyful human being who wakes each morning with gratitude. I meditate daily, eat nourishing food, fast regularly, and love hiking and traveling. I have a wonderful partner who doesn't quite understand what I do but supports me wholeheartedly, and of course, my incredible twin sister - my rock, shelter, tissue, ears, and partner in every life adventure.

​

I'm someone who finds profound joy in simple moments - watching a pigeon bathe in a puddle, being moved to tears by a shooting star, laughing at things that make perfect sense only to my sister and me. I'm a 90's emo soul at heart, which probably explains my deep love for meaningful connections and emotional authenticity. I cherish quiet time for reflection, lose myself in meaningful books, and absorb podcasts about how the universe works.

​

Most importantly, I love who I am as an individual and celebrate what my sister and I create together. I want to share this energy with other twins, helping you become the very best versions of yourselves - both individually and together.
