About

Hi, I’m Rachel, a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and Sound Therapy Practitioner and the founder of The Nest Hypnotherapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 25 years working in education as a teacher and senior leader. My own experience of burnout eventually led me in a completely different direction and after training in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, I became fascinated by the ways we can learn to slow down, regulate our nervous system and respond differently to the pressures of everyday life. More recently, I trained in Sound Therapy and knew I wanted to bring the two together. That’s how my Hypno Sound Baths came about. Each class combines guided relaxation and hypnosis with the sounds and vibrations of crystal singing bowls, chimes, an ocean drum and other therapeutic instruments. There are also periods of silence, giving you time to simply become absorbed in the experience. Each session has a different focus, exploring themes such as overthinking, balance, confidence and trusting yourself, so there is always something useful to take away with you too. You don’t need any experience of hypnosis, meditation or sound baths. Everything is gently guided, you remain completely in control throughout, and all the mats, bolsters and blankets are provided. Just come as you are, get comfortable and give yourself permission to stop for an hour.
