Testimonials

Hypnotherapy Depression "I just can't believe how much I changed over only a few weeks... When I first got in touch with Silke I was so desperate for change... Never would I have imagined this to be such a quick, fascinating, gentle and absolutely wonderful experience. I truly am the woman I always knew was somewhere deep, deep inside me. Thank you so much, Silke" - Ellie, Noosa "As I said to a friend of mine the other day: we should be singing this lady's praise to the hilt" - Maggie "I fell into such a deep hole after my seperation. Apart from that being hard enough as it was I also somehow felt like I was worthless or somehow not good enough. Thanks to Silke I am now truly free from all the old stuff. And until I became free from it I didn't even know how amazing that feels. I feel fantastic now!!" - Andrew "Extremely depressed and anxious I decided I could no longer cope without help. I made an appointment to see my GP after a brief discussion about various depression drugs, he mentioned a hypnotherapist lady who may be able to offer an alternative to depression and anxiety drugs. I openly agreed to see this hypnotherapist for hypnosis. My first contact with Silke made me feel instantly comfortable, She was very warm and welcoming - to me a very good start to overcome depression and anxiety.  Silke very gently prompted me to tell my story, all the time taking notes and still very focused on me. I was an absolute mess and crying for the first 20 minutes. Somehow Silke calmed me down before we proceeded, something she managed to do with ease. Gently talking to me and encouraging me to look at my life in a different way, the way I want, has completely changed how I feel and my outlook regarding all those formerly depressive issues. For me there is no more guilt and no more walking on eggshells. We have worked on a number of issues, many of which Silke gently drew out of me during the sessions, something she is extremely skilled in. I can not recommend Silke, her hypnosis and her hypnotherapy highly enough! I am an entirely different person to the one who first walked in that door. I no longer feel guilty, anxious or depressed. If I have a moment where I might regress and have doubts or feel anxious I just need to close my eyes and visualise to hear Silke's gentle voice and my confidence in handling certain situations becomes a lot calmer.  I am extremely grateful to Silke in teaching me how to cope and take control of my own life. Silke Herwald is a very caring young woman who has certainly found her true vocation in hypnotherapy. Thank you so much! Kind regards" - Linda W, Noosa Heads "Thank you so much for the hypnosis and NLP session! Everything is still going great and I am still listening to the hypnosis recording you made for me. It really has helped and still helps so much!" - Sheree, Tewantin Hypnosis Smoking "Hi Silke, A few weeks after my Hypnosis Stop Smoking Sessions with you I had the urge to have a cigarette after I had 3 bottles of wine. Anyway I light it and drew back and nearly threw up it was that putrid. So threw it away immediately and surely won't do that again. Thank you so much!!" - Renae, Mooloolooba "I still find it bizarre how easy it was after the sessions with you!" - AR, Noosa  "After my first session a friend offered me one and I really tried to smoke  but I simply couldn't do it. Thank you!" - Ben, Coolum  Relationships / Confidence "I went to Silke as an absolute last resort.  My relationship was completely on the rocks with my partner of four years and there seemed no hope of recovery, especially as I continued to revert back to old learned behaviours that were very destructive to the relationship. Silke not only helped me to re-establish my relationship which is now going very well but to also relax generally in life and have more confidence in my own abilities. I would highly recommend Silke to anyone regardless of the issue at hand". Female client, Noosa Hypnosis for Stress Management "What a great experience! Now I deal with stress so much better which has improved my life so much. I want to thank you for helping me move past my old destructive behaviour. I still can’t quite get my head around how exactly my stress related illness has improved without the use of drugs. I manage stress a lot better and when I need to I use the techniques you taught me and get stress relief This is quite an astonishing outcome. Thank you!" - Tony, Sunshine Beach In the past pushy or needy customers who took out their anger and frustration out on me always spun me out and ruined my day, I actually always wanted to hide and run away whenever I felt it coming. Now that doesn't happen at all any more. If I have 'one of those' customers I serve them, help them and it just doesn't stress me at all any more... It's very surprising how easy it now is to manage stress and just get on happily with the rest of my day, when previously I would have been upset or angry about it for the rest of the day and even worse would have taken it with me into my free time. I am so much happier after your hypnosis and the way I handle these previously stressful situations now. Hypnotherapy truly is amazing. Thank you!! " - John, Brisbane Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease "I can't believe that I am finally free from IBS and the almost constant abdominal pain! I very rarely get IBS symptoms again and when I do I now know what to do and within a few hours the IBS pain goes and I am okay again. I would have never thought it possible to overcome irritable bowel syndrome that easily. Thank you so much!" Pam - Sunshine Coast "...if I had only known just how wonderful your IBS treatment is and how relieved I started to feel after only a few IBS sessions I wished I had done it much earlier. No more spastic colon, gone is the bloating and what a relief from the abdominal pain and constipation. I somehow always figured IBS was just something you had to endure, but no more" Female client - Noosa Heads "I am free! Free from IBS!!! To overcome IBS was such a big and almost unimaginable for e. I have left IBS behind and I still feel like running down the street and shouting I am free at last! I am so happy now, I can make plans and stick to them, I truly left IBS behind.” Sheryl - Noosa Heads “I used to have two different sized wardrobes to accommodate my bloated IBS tummy and the abdominal pain in the afternoons… Now I just fit in the smaller one, all the time! Thank you!...” Claudia - Noosa Personal Excellence "Thanks to Silke's expertise I was able to shift some old financial patterns that were holding me back. Through a number of techniques she helped me release the old patterns and installed new beliefs that I'd written down prior to our sessions. Silke also helped prompt new ideas that I hadn't considered which also made a big difference. After just four sessions my focus had shifted and I started 'noticing' that I was making excellent decisions in my business. Making 'good decisions' about money was one of the beliefs we installed during our sessions. I'd recommend Silke to anyone wishing to create change in any area of their life." - MA, Noosaville  Preparation Job Interview "I recently had the amazing experience of a Job interview NLP session with Silke Herwald. Silke opened me up to exploring positive thought patterns through language and broadened my ideas on using different techniques to communicate more effectively with others. Once I understood more about communication I was able to break down barriers which were holding me back from moving towards my goals. I am pleased to say that following this NLP and Hypnosis session, I really did move forward and achieve the goals I had put forward and I have no doubt that my achievement was made incredibly easy thanks to the knowledge and skills I acquired in my session with Silke. If you are looking for a person to get you back on track, then I would highly recommend you take the time to experience what Silke has to offer." - Glenda, Coolum "Dear Silke, it was so fantastic to be able to have a NLP and hypnosis session with you before my job interview. The valuable tools, wonderful words of wisdom and great thinking patterns you taught me really helped me relax in the interview and gave me that reassurance and confidence I desperately needed. I felt so refreshed and like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders after having this session with you, which in turn helped me have better night's sleep but most importantly I did acquire my dream job - yeah!!  Thank you so much Silke, I truly appreciate you taking the time to help me. Warm Regards - Louise, Alex Headlands Hypnosis General "I had many hypnotherapy sessions before but these were most definitely the best ever! On the Sunshine Coast hypnosis and hypnotherapy has achieved new standards, thanks to Silke from Smooth Changes. I highly recommend smooth changes to anyone who is committed to making a change. Thank you so much!" - John   Fingernails "I never tried hypnotherapy before but I’d heard that hypnosis may help me stop biting my fingernails, literally a habit of a lifetime. Over three hypnotherapy sessions, Silke asked questions to uncover the triggers for my habit and then, under relaxing hypnosis she unwound those triggers and simply unwound the habit. I now take great care of my strong beautiful nails. Thank you so much, Silke" - Kim, Eumundi Confidence / Overcoming Shyness "It’s amazing how much my confidence in social situations has increased!! I can't believe how uneasy I felt around people, especially people I liked and would have loved to talk to... It feels so good to now just hear myself talk confidently and happily in all social situations... I sometimes stand back and look at myself thinking "wow, that was brilliant, where did I pull that one from..."? I am so happy with who I am now! Furthermore through the deep hypnosis sessions with you I feel generally more confident and things that seemed impossible to me previously, now come totally naturally and easily. I am obviously soo much happier." - Jason, Noosa Hypnosis Insomnia "Dear Silke, I would like to thank you for making me sleep again. Now, when I wake up at night, which doesn’t happen very often any more, I use the amazing tools you taught me and use one or two of the strategies you taught me. And then I actually do go back to sleep again. Now I know what it feels like to be fully alert again during the day. I really have left Insomnia behind and I can't believe that at first I was nervous about hypnosis, it's so relaxing and a generally beatutiful state." - Anthony, Maroochydore
