Thanks Again x
Thank you so much Sara you have given Jaime the confidence to move forward in life and she enjoyed so much coming to see you. You are an angel
I came to see Sara in the hope that Hypnotherapy will help me stop smoking. I was opened minded but a little nervous. As soon as the door was opened those feelings disappeared. I was made to feel comfortable and at ease.
I had a wonderful experience with Sara and yes I am smoke free.
Not only Sara help with me with smoking but also helped me deal with a lot of grief I was holding onto.
I would recommend Sara to anybody who wishes to try hypnotherapy.
I also have to say what a beautiful , kind , genuine , sincere , true soul Sara has.
Forever greatful.
About Mind Garden Hypnotherapy
Sara Wilson at Mind Garden Hypnotherapy and Mind Garden Kids provides a range of hypnotherapy services tailored to the individual
Welcome – I’m Sara, and I’m passionate about helping people unlock the true power of their minds.
So often, we unknowingly focus our thoughts on what we don’t want—playing worst-case scenarios over and over in our minds. The imagination is a powerful force. When we dwell on fear or anxiety, our bodies respond with real symptoms—like a racing heart or a churning stomach. But what if we could harness that same power to create calm, confidence, and change?
My journey into hypnotherapy began when I was pregnant with my first son. Curious about Hypnobirthing, I gave it a try—and the experience completely transformed how I viewed the mind-body connection. I gave birth without pain, something I never thought possible, and it opened my eyes to the potential we all have within us.
Years later, our family faced an unexpected challenge: our youngest son, Jake, was diagnosed with leukaemia. In the midst of fear and uncertainty, I knew hypnotherapy could make a difference. I began my diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and soon found myself using those tools to help Jake manage his symptoms with greater ease and calm.
Today, I work as the National Training Manager for the New Zealand School of Professional Hypnotherapy, training future hypnotherapists across the country and continuing my one-on-one work with clients.
If you’re ready to make a change—but feel like your own mind is getting in the way—I’d love to help.

Birth Journey
$150 per session or
$360 for a 3 session package
Hypnobirthing gives you the power to birth your baby in the best possible way. When mothers are relaxed and in control they experience the birth process in a completely different way. Using a combination of deep relaxation, breathing techniques, birth visualisation and pain control hypnosis sessions at your own home or at my practice both mum and dad are able to be active participants in the birthing process. Often dads are keen to be involved in the hypnosis process and I am happy to train them so that they are able to bring about a state of deep relaxation in their partners.
Gastric Band Session
$450 for a 3 session package
The Hypnotic Gastric Band session is a 3 session package that works with your subconscious mind to create the effects of gastric band surgery.
During a physical gastric band surgery the pouch at top of stomach which is normally the size of a melon is reduced to the size of a tennis ball. A band is fitted around the stomach with a small opening which food goes through slowly. Digestion is exactly the same as before but the band physically stops you eating more than a cup of food. With a hypnotic gastric band the subconscious mind believes that a gastric band has been fitted and responds by sending messages that you are full after just a small amount of food.
After the “operation” you are able to eat whatever you like whenever you are hungry although now you will only be able to do so in much smaller amounts. Pay attention to what your instincts are telling you and don’t be surprised if the foods you want to eat change.

With my background in teaching, working with children is one of the highlights of my day. I love empowering children to overcome anything that is holding them back.
Hypnosis for children works exceptionally well as they are naturally able and willing to use their creative imaginations and suspend disbelief. For children this is a very natural state and one they experience throughout their day when they are absorbed in an activity or imaginative play.
In my experience children enjoy hypnotherapy and respond exceptionally well. Children need to be over 5 years of age to get the best from hypnotherapy but younger children can still benefit from hypno-play techniques.

What is a Typical Session of Hypnosis For Children Like?
1. A telephone consultation with a parent or guardian where I get their perspective on the problem and the desired outcome.
2. I expect a parent or guardian to be present during the first session. For subsequent sessions you can stay if the young person would prefer you to be there.
3. At the first session I want to get the child’s perspective. We talk about how they experience the problem, how long they have been this way and how they would prefer to think, feel and behave instead.
4. At all times I guide the child towards the solution and identify strengths and resources that the child already has, which will be useful.
5. The hypnosis session will always deliver positive suggestions to boost their confidence in addition to guided visualization to overcoming their problem
6. For most issues the child will receive a specially recorded hypnosis CD for use at home.
Things You Should Know About Your Child’s Hypnotherapy Session
The young person must engage willingly. I recommend that the parent or guardian discuss coming to see me and if necessary should come for a free consult to put the child at ease.
Hypnotherapy is completely safe, there are no side effects. Hypnosis cannot make your child do anything against their will. The session is totally child centered. So I will talk with the child not to them or about them.
The number of sessions required depends upon the problem presented but typically most issues can be resolved in 2 to 4 sessions. Each session lasts between one hour and one hour thirty minutes.
Hypnosis for children is effective, safe and no matter what the presenting problem is aimed at enhancing the young person’s confidence and self esteem.
