Gina, thank you so much for helping me get my life back on track. When I fell & sustained an orthopaedic fracture in triggered a 17 yr old trauma memory of my mother falling & dying 3 days later from a head injury. I then lost all self confidence & motivation. By having a very caring & supportive husband, also a wonderful daughter-in-law who highly recommended you, I made that phone call to you. After your very caring counselling & amazing hypnotherapy session I have gone on to have 2 month long driving/camping holidays and not long back from a month long trip to Europe. Gina, this 72yr old is so glad to you for giving me that new lease of life. Thank you so much and I highly recommend you to to anyone who needs your help.

Two weeks after a one hour hypno session with Gina and I'm a sweet-smelling non smoker who feels vitalised and motivated. I have not had a single craving for a cigarette since and can watch my partner and others smoke without any sense of temptation. I think the key to Gina's success is her empathetic determination to understand your relationship with cigarettes, and with yourself, and then her skill at weeding your subconscious and then replanting it will the seeds and mechanisms which help you become the non smoker you want to be. Thank you Gina for sharing your kindness, passion and skills .. I'm loving the result!

I found Gina to be absolutely amazing. She is so easy to talk to and has you feeling relaxed immediately. I have been struggling with weight loss and by the time i completed my 3 sessions i lost almost 7kg. She taught me portion control, gave me motivation and helped me form a very different relationship with my food & bad eating habits. Not only that i now feel i have the tools to continue my weight loss journey which is really exciting for me as i have so much more energy & it can only get better!! I can't thank Gina enough.

Gina has been an amazing support these past few months! She is such a lovely and down to earth person that will make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. She has helped me learn how to calm myself when I need to and to understand the past that sits in my subconscious mind that affects the way I view and react to things today. Just being able to pinpoint how I had that thought or why I reacted that way has made such a difference. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Gina from Nurtured Minds Therapy! After meeting with Gina for the first time I immediately felt relax and comfortable! I had never been to any type of therapy before so I didn’t know what to expect. I’m happy to say it felt just like talking with an old friend! 😊 Gina is genuine, kind, non judgmental and very knowledgeable. She has helped me with so many aspects of my life! From weight loss, to dealing with postpartum stress. With the help of Gina’s counseling, encouragement and hypnotherapy I have been able to stay focused and lose 10kg! (Prior to this I had tried absolutely everything to lose weight after having a baby) Gina was the missing piece I needed to keep on track, stay focused and achieve my goals! I only wish I found her sooner! I leave each session feeling super happy and freshly motivated to reach for my goals. Everyone needs Gina in their lives!!! I found her especially helpful with helping me process the many emotions that came with becoming a mum for the first time. (Again, I wish I found her sooner!) I will be forever grateful for what Gina has taught me about processing emotions and moving forward. She has absolutely changed my life for the better. I have recommended Gina to my family members and they are also extremely happy with their therapy experience. Keep up the great work Gina! Thankyou 🙏

After going through an incredibly challenging time in my life I found it impossible to climb out of a very deep hole. Gina has been largely instrumental in supporting me to start showing up for myself and prioritising my health, both physical and mental. I cannot stress enough how approachable, understanding, non-judgmental and empathetic she is, you are immediately at ease in her presence. The hypnosis treatment Gina used during the session and techniques provided to support me after have been incredibly helpful. She is also very available after sessions if you have any follow up questions or concerns. Highly recommend getting in touch with Gina for support with any challenges you might be experiencing!

I found Gina so approachable and always there for a shoulder to cry on. I felt so relaxed sitting there talking to her, talking about anything, my weight gain, family issues and of course self doubt. I would recommend Gina from Nurtured Minds Therapy, please just go and get the help you need.

I am so happy to recommend this amazing lady to all my friends and family. She is a life change and an all round wonderful person. I initially went to Gina for support with my weight loss. During this treatment I also experienced some stress in my life and Gina assisted me to deal with this. I am forever grateful to her. I am a busy mum and quite anxious and don't think I would have coped with either scenario without her help. To assist with my weight loss I had the virtual gastric band fitted. After the first session I remember feeling exceptionally full after meals but it took me a few days to connect that feeling to the hypnosis. In follow up sessions we worked on my craving for sweets and my motivation to move. I can happily say that I have now started back at sport, am eating much healthier, have lost weight and feel fantastic! The stress that I experience is related to am ongoing issue that comes up regularly. I don't deal with stress well and often bottle it and avoid the conflict. It was so nice that Gina recognised this struggle in me and helped me work through the pain. I can't explain how amazing it felt to come out of that session having let go of all that pain. The other bonus of hypnosis is that i always come away from the seasons feeling so light and on top of the world. Gina is a miracle worker and I will definitely be back.
