EMBODY · 10-WEEK 1:1 PROGRAMME
The pattern you can't think your way out of has a root. We find it. We change it.

1:1, online via Zoom. Evening and weekend options across NZ and Australia.

WHEN INSIGHT ISN’T ENOUGH
You understand your patterns. You can name what triggers you and why. You've probably explained your own psychology to more than one therapist. And in the moments that matter, your body still does the thing.
The pattern isn't stored where your insight is. It's held deeper, in subconscious beliefs your nervous system learned before you had language for them. Understanding uses your thinking brain, and the belief isn't kept there. That's what EMBODY is built to address.
HOW EMBODY WORKS
RTT® leads the work. Regulation holds the change.
Two full RTT® sessions
The core of EMBODY. We find where a belief formed, understand the meaning your system made of it, and reframe it. The first session often surfaces a second layer; the week-10 session addresses it and consolidates the change.
Nervous system regulation
Retraining that helps your body hold the change in your sleep, your reactions, the moments that used to take you over. A personalised toolkit matched to your specific pattern, built from a clinical assessment in weeks 1 and 2.
Real-time state identification
You learn to read your system better, so you can match the right tool to the right moment rather than defaulting to 'calm down', deep breathing and hoping. Clear, observable indicators. Nothing abstract.
THE MECHANISM
Your window of tolerance
Your nervous system has a sweet spot: a range where you can handle stress, feel emotions, and think clearly without being overwhelmed or shutting down. Push outside it and you tip into hyperarousal (wired, racing, reactive) or hypoarousal (numb, shut down, exhausted). Outside the window, your thinking brain goes offline.
For most people running on chronic stress, the window has narrowed over years. It doesn't take much to push you out of it anymore. A single critical email, one difficult conversation.
What EMBODY does: expands your window of tolerance so you can handle bigger emotions, harder conversations, and more pressure without your system taking over. You're not learning to avoid stress. You're building the capacity to handle it.
WHAT CHANGES
What changes when you build regulation capacity
You start to feel safe in your body
Signals that used to feel threatening become information you can respond to. You can sense hunger, exhaustion and stress, and meet those signals instead of overriding them.
You show up as yourself in relationships
You stop people-pleasing and freezing. You set boundaries without shutting down. You're not scanning for threat in conversations that aren't threatening.
You respond instead of reacting
A piece of feedback no longer sends you spiralling for days. You feel difficult emotions without being taken over by them. You respond from choice, not autopilot.
You can access energy or calm
Depending on what you need. You're not stuck wired or stuck numb. You move between activation and rest, and rest actually restores you.
THE STRUCTURE
The 10-week pathway
WK 1-3 Map your patterns
Clinical nervous system assessment using validated tools (BPQ-SF and DASS-21). Each week gives something back: a tool you can use the first night, a plain-language readout of your system's signature, and your personal state map to keep. By week 3 you know exactly what your system is doing and why.
WK 4-6 Build capacity
A personalised regulation toolkit matched to your specific pattern: interoceptive awareness, breathwork, bilateral stimulation, and real-time state identification. One named daily practice per phase, around ten minutes, with a simple check-in to track it. We re-run the DASS-21 at week 6 so you can see the movement before the RTT® work begins. These six weeks are what make the RTT® change hold, and that's by design.
WK 7-8 Your first RTT® session
Detailed intake and preparation, then a full 90-minute RTT® session targeting the root belief. You receive a personalised transformation recording to listen to daily for 21 days, with a prescribed pathway through the self-hypnosis library for your pattern.
WK 9 The field week
You choose one real situation you've been bracing for or avoiding, meet it with your tools, and we debrief what happened. Deliberate practice in your actual life, not theory. What surfaces here tells us what the second session needs to address.
WK 10 The closing RTT® session
A second 90-minute RTT® session to address any second-layer belief that's surfaced and to consolidate the shift. Second personalised recording.
DAY 21 Post-programme check-in
A follow-up session three weeks after week 10, once the second recording period is complete. We re-run your assessments, review what's held, and set your ongoing plan, including a quarterly top-up option if you want continued support without re-buying a programme.
IN THEIR WORDS
What clients say
"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, especially what I'd internalised from my parents and how it was still shaping my reactions. Something shifted in how I see things now, and the recording has been a big part of reinforcing that."
— J, Canada
"From the very beginning her professionalism was clear, and she created such a warm, welcoming space. I came away feeling clear. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking lasting change."
— V, former client
"A gentle, patient and knowledgeable hypnotherapist. Genevieve puts you at ease right away. Her calming presence and patient guidance helped me overcome my fears."
— Lorraine, Wellington
THE INVESTMENT
What it costs, and why it's built this way
Two RTT® sessions, not one
The first often surfaces a second layer. One session shifts the primary pattern; two reach what sits underneath and consolidate it.
A personalised plan, not a handout
Built from your assessment, matched to your history and current load. Not off a shelf.
A 21-day check-in after week 10
Most programmes end at week 10 and leave you to work out what held. This closes the loop.
$2,800 NZD
Pay in full: $2,800
Fortnightly: 6 × $467
Monthly: 4 × $700
Your BPQ-SF and DASS-21 scores are measured at the start, mid-point and follow-up, so the change is clinically tracked, not just felt. All sessions online via Zoom, evening and weekend options. Life happens across ten weeks: the programme can pause for up to two weeks without losing momentum.

FIT
Is EMBODY right for you?
It’s a good fit if:
✓ You understand your patterns but can't shift them
✓ You swing between wired and wiped out
✓ You feel disconnected from your body, or like it's working against you
✓ You're ready to do the work between sessions
✓ You want the root addressed, not just the symptoms
✓ You value evidence-informed approaches
It probably isn't the right fit if:
- You're looking for a quick fix
- You're not ready for subconscious work (RTT® requires openness to the process)
- You want something passive (this requires practice between sessions)
- You're currently in significant mental health distress
- You're unwilling to work with other healthcare providers alongside this programme
Common Questions About EMBODY
-
Therapy helps you understand your patterns. EMBODY changes them. Most people in therapy can articulate exactly why they react the way they do, and their body still takes over in meetings, still won't let them sleep, still swings between wired and wiped out. That's because the pattern isn't held where insight reaches. EMBODY finds the root belief keeping your nervous system stuck and changes it using RTT®, then gives you the regulation tools to work with how the pattern shows up in your body.
-
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. In EMBODY you learn to read what state your system is actually in and match the right tool to it.
-
If you're functioning in your career but your body feels like it's working against you, swinging between wired and wiped out, unable to access what you know in the moments that matter, EMBODY is built for that. This programme is for chronic nervous system dysregulation, not acute crisis. If you can hold your life together but it's costing you everything to do it, you're in the right place.
-
Weekly 60-minute sessions in weeks 1 to 6 and week 9, two 90-minute RTT® sessions (weeks 7 to 8 and week 10), plus 10 to 15 minutes daily for regulation practice and your RTT® recording. Most clients find they gain time back, because they're no longer losing hours to shutdown, decision paralysis, or overriding their own system.
-
Nervous system change is gradual. Some people notice shifts within the first few weeks: better sleep, clearer thinking, less reactivity. The RTT® sessions tend to create bigger shifts because we're addressing the subconscious pattern directly. If after week 2 you don't feel EMBODY is right for you, we can discuss a pro-rated refund.
-
No. EMBODY is a coaching and education programme, not ACC-claimable treatment. ACC covers registered treatment providers for injury-related claims only. This is nervous system education and regulation training, not medical treatment.
-
Yes. EMBODY is delivered entirely 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.
-
We'll talk about where you are right now, what you've already tried, and whether EMBODY is the right next step. I'll explain how the work fits together, we'll identify your current patterns, and I'll tell you whether this programme is the right fit for where you are. If it's not, I'll say so. Sometimes the answer is 'yes, let's start.' Sometimes it's 'let's reconnect in three months.' Both are fine.
-
EMBODY 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 requires enough stability to engage with the material.
