Raised in Auckland, but having lived in Hamilton since 1989, I am married to Louise, we have two awesome boys who keep me fairly well grounded, I am lucky enough to have been there to enjoy every stage in their lives so far, I think this helps to keep me young at heart.

I was introduced to Hypnotherapy by a past student of the NZ School of Clinical Hypnotherapy, and this is where I also trained and Graduated in 2002, Since then I have enjoyed the challenge of working with an incredible range of issues and with clients of all ages, from children as young as 5 up to the elderly.

I believe that our Society has a critical part to play in promoting the interests of its members in the community, the Health sector and the Government, and that is why I have been involved on the executive committee, as the Treasurer for the last 6 years, and now as President. I enjoy being part of the committee and the contact with membership and as you all know the committee is a voluntary job, but one which does also require your support and assistance. I urge each and everyone to also put some time and effort to support your President and committee to help further your interests this year.

I have been a Clinical Hypnotherapist for over 30 years and during this time I have travelled widely overseas examining hypnotherapy and allied techniques in many overseas countries including Australia, USA, Great Britain and Europe. In 1984 I inaugurated the New Zealand School of Hypnotic Science, which became the present day New School of Clinical Hypnotherapy that is the only Hypnotherapy Private Training Establishment that is Registered and Accredited with NZQA. I am the Governing Director of the School and operate the School with my daughter Donna-Maree Parker who is the Managing Director.

I am the only existing founding member of The New Zealand Society of Clinical and Applied Hypnotherapy and was its first President.

I really became interested in hypnotherapy about 17 years ago and not long after this, trained with and received a Diploma from the NZ School of Clinical Hypnotherapy.  About six years ago I became the Managing Director of the School and now work closely with my father who is the Governing Director.  I divide my time between practicing as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, managing the School, studying, and fulfilling my duties as Secretary of the Society, a position I have held for the last eight years.

I first joined the Society over 18 years ago as a somewhat wide-eyed student. Since then Hypnosis has continued to fascinate and inspire me both personally and professionally. I live in Taupo where I now balance my teaching role and clinic work with raising two young daughters. One of my many mottos – “I am still learning.” Michelangelo

Dip.Clin.Hyp. - NZ School of Clinical Hypnotherapy;

Committee Member of the NZ Society of Clinical and Applied Hypnotherapy; Member and Licensed Tutor - NFSH UK; Vice President and Training Officer - NFSH (NZ) Inc.; CAT (Certificate in Adult Teaching); Registration Board Member - NZ Charter of Health Practitioners. Originally from Canada, lived in Scotland for 10 years, naturalised citizen of NZ for over 20 years, I have been interested in Natural Health and the Power of the Mind for the past 20 years. For the last 15 years my husband and I have run a Holistic Healing Centre in Thames. Learning Self-Hypnosis, which helped with my own healing process and pain control, led me to investigate Hypnotherapy more thoroughly. Having trained with the NZ School of Clinical Hypnotherapy, I am now working as a professional Clinical Hypnotherapist, greatly adding to my skills as a Natural Health Practitioner. My motto - the more you learn, the more there is to learn – and the better you are able to help those in need.

I am proud to be a clinical hypnotherapist practising in the North (Whangarei).

While studying a psychology degree, I became interested in joining the helping profession as a counsellor. Enquiries in this area led me to hypnotherapy - the possibility of helping people to get their desired change in a short space of time convinced me that being the best hypnotherapist that I can be is the best way that I can help people.

I am fortunate to be a member on the NZSCAH committee with a dynamic and experienced team of people keen on advancing hypnotherapy to help more people.

I graduated in 2008 and became a committee member in 2009 and I am passionate about, and committed to, on-going training.

I first became seriously interested in Hypnotherapy in 2002 when it was introduced to me as a method of managing pain. After obtaining good results myself, I then contacted the New Zealand School of Clinical Hypnotherapy and soon after began studying Hypnotherapy in 2003. After 3 years of study I graduated with a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Since then my study has continued as I explore the increasing possibilities of the applications of Hypnotherapy. I operate my own clinic called the Hypnotherapy and Mind Expansion Clinic, in which emphasis is placed on education, perception and retraining the mind and the way we think. My clinic is centrally located in the lower South Island, as I am based 5 minutes walk from downtown Wanaka. I have been a member of the New Zealand Society of Clinical and Applied Hypnotherapy since 2003 and became a member of the NZSCAH committee in 2008.

Steven is a clinical hypnotherapist practising in Auckland.

His first encounter with hypnotherapy nearly a decade ago gave him a personal insight into the potential for personal growth through hypnosis. He enrolled with the NZ School of Clinical Hypnotherapy to learn more about hypnosis and hypnotherapy, graduating in 2009.

He enjoys being able to help people make the changes in their life that they desire, helping them to become the people they want to be.
