WHY THE PATTERN KEEPS REPEATING
The pattern you keep noticing began as a belief formed early in life, before you had the awareness to question it. Your nervous system learned it, stored it, and has been running it in the background ever since.
Insight helps you recognise why. It rarely changes it. Lasting change happens at the level where the original belief still lives, in the body and the subconscious mind. That is the level this work goes to.
LEARN TO RESPOND, NOT REACT
You don't like how you react. So why can't you change it?
Your body takes over before your brain catches up
You know what you want to say. You've planned the response. But in the moment your body does something else. You freeze, you shut down, or you react in a way you didn't choose and can't take back.
WHY THIS HAPPENS
Your nervous system operates beneath conscious thought. When it detects threat it downregulates the prefrontal cortex, the part responsible for rational thinking and impulse control. Knowing what to do isn't enough, because your thinking brain is briefly offline.
You swing between wired and wiped out
Some days you're wired: racing thoughts, restless, unable to sit still. Other days you're shut down: numb, exhausted, disconnected. You never quite know which version of yourself you'll wake up as. You just want to feel joy again.
WHY THIS HAPPENS
Your system is oscillating between hyperarousal and shutdown, stuck in protective mode. When it becomes chronic, cortisol stays elevated, which affects sleep, mood, energy and your ability to think clearly under pressure.
You’re holding too many plates
Work, kids, ageing parents, your own changing health. You manage all of it, until one unexpected email lands and it's suddenly too much. Small things that never used to bother you now derail the whole day.
WHY THIS HAPPENS
When your system is already at capacity, even small demands push you past your window of tolerance. What you once held comfortably now exceeds the resources your system has available.
These aren't mindset problems.
They're physiology.
Your nervous system is built to keep you alive, not to keep you happy. With chronic stress or anxiety, a high-alert baseline stops feeling like an emergency and starts feeling normal. At that point insight and coping strategies aren't enough, because the pattern isn't held in the thinking mind.
That's what RTT® is for.
IF THIS FEELS FAMILIAR
From the outside, you look like you're on top of it.
The work gets done. Nobody would suspect otherwise. The cost is private, and the body keeps a record no one else can see.
You're not in crisis. You're carrying it, and the weight of carrying it is what slowly wears your system down. An initial consultation is where we work out what would help, and what fits.
THE METHOD
What RTT® is
Your conscious mind holds your goals, your intentions and your insight. The subconscious holds everything else: the automatic responses, the learned associations, the beliefs formed long before you had the capacity to question them. That's why you can understand a pattern completely and still find yourself repeating it. You've been working on the wrong floor of the building.
Rapid Transformational Therapy, developed by Marisa Peer, is a structured process that works with that subconscious layer directly. It isn't a single technique. Hypnotherapy creates the relaxed, focused state where subconscious material becomes easier to reach. Regression finds where a belief formed and what it was protecting you from at the time. Parts work explores the internal conflicts and protective strategies holding it in place, and cognitive and behavioural principles support building the new response.
You leave with a personalised recording that reinforces the change over the following weeks, because repetition is how the brain builds new pathways and lets old ones weaken.
IT ISN’T MYSTICAL
It's accessing the theta brain state, the same relaxed, focused state you pass through just before sleep, where pattern change happens more easily. You stay aware and in control the whole time.
HOW I WORK WITH THIS
Neuro-education, regulation practices and RTT®, combined.
A belief can change in a single session. A nervous system that has been braced for fifteen years cannot. Rapid and lasting are two different problems, so the work combines three elements, each doing something the other two can't. Whether the pattern shows up as anxiety, burnout, anger, or self-doubt.

BHSc · C.Hyp · RTTP
RTT® PRACTITIONER · CERTIFIED HYPNOTHERAPIST · NERVOUS SYSTEM COACH · FORMER PHYSIOTHERAPIST
I've worked in the New Zealand health sector for over 20 years, including a decade as a physiotherapist in respiratory and neurological rehabilitation, and a decade in corporate leadership, all while caregiving for a disabled family member and raising children.
So I understand nervous system dysregulation clinically, and I understand it from the inside. I know what it's like to hold a demanding job, a family, and someone else's care at the same time, and what years of that does to a body.
My work goes to the root, not the symptoms: RTT® for the belief patterns, regulation tools for the body, and clinical assessment beneath it all - across every area the pattern shows up, work, sleep, relationships and capacity.

What stood out most was how safe and grounded she made the space feel. Her questions helped me connect patterns I hadn't fully understood before. Something shifted in how I see things now, and the recording has been a big part of reinforcing that.

IF IT’S STRESS & BURNOUT
Why "Calm Down" Doesn't Work
Why calming techniques can make things worse, and what to reach for instead when your system is wired or shut down.
IF IT’S ANXIETY & PANIC
Why You Can't Think Your Way Out of Panic
You can know a great deal about your anxiety and still be frightened of it. What's actually happening in a panic wave, and why understanding it isn't enough.
COMMON QUESTIONS
The questions people ask first
-
Therapy helps you understand your patterns, and that understanding matters. This work is about changing them, at the level of the nervous system and the belief underneath. Most people who come to me already understand exactly why they react the way they do, and the body keeps doing it regardless: wired before a meeting, flat by evening, awake at 2am when everything in them wants to sleep. Understanding hasn't shifted it, because the pattern isn't held in the conscious mind. RTT® finds the root belief and reframes it where it's stored, and the regulation work builds your body's capacity to hold the change.
-
No. If meditation made you feel worse, that's a sign your nervous system was in shutdown and needed activation, not more stillness. When you're already exhausted, disconnected and foggy, calming techniques tend to drop you deeper in. Here you learn to read what state your system is actually in and match the right tool to it, rather than defaulting to 'calm down' and hoping.
-
Rapid Transformational Therapy uses hypnotherapy to reach subconscious patterns that keep your nervous system stuck. Many people understand their triggers intellectually, but their body still reacts, because the pattern is stored below conscious awareness. It isn't mystical. It's accessing theta brain states, where pattern change happens more easily. I use RTT® specifically for the subconscious patterns driving chronic stress, anxiety, panic and burnout.
-
Yes. Everything is delivered online via Zoom, so you can be anywhere in New Zealand or Australia. All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection.
-
This work isn't designed for acute mental health crises. If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, active self-harm urges, or a psychiatric emergency, please contact your GP, the Mental Health Crisis Line (0800 611 116), or Emergency Services (111). This work needs enough stability to engage with the material.
-
Yes. Standalone RTT® sessions are $450, run 90 minutes, and include a personalised recording. They work best for people who've already done some therapeutic or nervous system work and want targeted pattern change. If you're not sure whether a standalone session or a programme fits better, email me and we'll work it out together.
