David, severe anxiety and panic attacks

'After being the subject of a traumatic experience 6 years ago I found myself struggling to cope with day to day life. A number of my routine tasks became very difficult to deal with and I found myself wanting to be sick or run away from everyday type activities.
The kind of things I had for many years took for granted like going shopping, being in groups or crowded places,gong to friends weddings or the cinema, or even talking to people on a one to one basis (friends as well as strangers) gave me this feeling of wanting to be sick or wanting to leave the room or area.

I struggled for months if not years at first to understand what was happening to me before finding out I had severe anxiety which sometimes led to full blown panic attacks. I tried many different techniques to resolve the issue from talking therapies to relaxation techniques and REM (rapid eye movement), most of which helped in lesser or larger degrees but none completely solved the condition. I started to believe after years of then battling with depression that this was something I would have to live with for the rest of my life and that I would never be the confident, outgoing, easy going person that I once was.

After a kick up the behind from a close friend I decided to give another attempt to relieving my symptoms which is when I found Christina.

I was sceptical to say the least about hypnotherapy but after 6 years of struggling with life was more than prepared to disregard any fears and give it a try. After my initial appointment we agreed on hypnotherapy as a good course of action and I felt comfortable and relaxed in Christina's presence and with what she was describing.

I felt better after my first session, not cured, but better and looking forward to my next one. After my second session (which like my first did involve some crying) on opening my eyes instantly felt like a new person and aware of a shift. I skipped out of Christina's building with a new found confidence.

It wasn't though until I found myself in situations which previously had filled me with dread that I became aware that I wasn't experiencing any of my usual anxiety related symptoms. I couldn't believe it!! And as the week progressed more and more of these scenario's would crop up and I was fine, completely fine, better then fine in fact I felt totally relaxed and could have stayed wherever I was for as long as possible (and no feelings of wanting to be sick).

I couldn't believe that after only two sessions I was back, the old me was back!

I can't thank Christina enough for helping me to achieve this. I no longer have to say NO to all those activities and engagements that would fill me with dread or feel the need to drink or pop a pill (valium) to get through it.

If you are reading this and thinking should I give it a go my advice would be YES YES YES!! Obviously we are all individuals and what works for the goose may not for the gander but all I can tell you is this if I hadn't then I wouldn't be living my life right now I would be simply existing, struggling to get through each and every day and fearing the next. Everyday I will be thankful I walked through those Mindquest doors and for this I'd like to say to Christina A MILLION THANK YOU'S!!!!! It was a pleasure meeting you and I will be forever in your debt!!!!'

Susan, sleep disorders


Hi Christina,
Thank you so much! I found the session really helpful - I felt so much more relaxed and less worried about sleeping afterwards. I haven't needed to use the EFT process yet as I haven't had any trouble sleeping! But it's good to have it ready if I do get worried.

Jodie, public speaking

Dear Christina I did it, I did it, I did it! The reading went really well and I want to thank you for giving me the help and support I needed to get me through what was for me a nerve racking experience. I even got compliments on my delivery so all that rehearsing in the shower paid off. My "routine" went unnoticed but it gave me confidence and a feeling of familiarity, as did my "three friends" sitting around me.
With many thanks
