Facing surgery can stir up fear, worst-case thinking and sleepless nights.
Hypnosis is well-studied as a way to reduce pre-operative anxiety, support pain control and improve recovery experiences – always as a complement to your surgical and anaesthetic care.
We help you walk into theatre as calm and prepared as possible, and support you on the other side.

Concerned about upcoming surgery?

  • Spinning “what if” scenarios about surgery or anaesthetic

  • Lying awake imagining everything that could go wrong

  • Anxiety at the hospital, in the waiting room or when you smell antiseptic

  • Fear of waking in pain, feeling sick or taking a long time to recover

  • Past medical or surgical experiences making this one feel even scarier

How hypnosis helps with endo, menopause & fertility ?

1. Reducing pre-op anxiety
We use mental rehearsal and calming suggestions so your brain has a clear, steady script for surgery day instead of a disaster movie.

2. Supporting pain and comfort
Hypnosis can help your brain process pain and discomfort differently, so you feel more comfortable and less distressed by post-op sensations.

3. Improving sleep before and after
We target racing thoughts and body tension so you can rest better in the lead-up, and find pockets of real rest in hospital and at home.

4. Strengthening recovery behaviours
We reinforce following post-op instructions, pacing yourself wisely and asking for support – not overdoing things on “good days”.

What Might Change for You?

  • Feeling calmer and more prepared before surgery

  • Less overwhelming fear in hospital environments

  • Better ability to rest and sleep around the operation

  • More confidence managing pain and doing rehab

  • A sense of having done everything in your control to support recovery

What to Expect in Sessions?

  • Clarify your procedure – type of surgery, dates, main fears or concerns.

  • Plan timing – usually 1–3 sessions before surgery, with optional follow-up afterwards.

  • Run mental rehearsals – hypnosis sessions that walk you through surgery day in a calm, grounded way.

  • Give you simple tools – brief scripts and practices to use the night before, on the day, and in early recovery.

Next steps

  • You don’t have to just “put up with it”.
