About Me

Sonia Lloyd - Certified Hypnotherapist

I have always had a thirst for knowledge in regards to the mind and body and how it relates. This interest initially lead me to complete a degree in Psychology.

But my real interest in the mind and body wasn’t truly sparked until i gave birth to my first son.

He was 7 days old when he was taken away from me and admitted to hospital in critical care for 3 weeks. He had an infection which sparked neurological illness and my husband and I were told various horrifying scenarios of the type of issues my son would have growing up. That was if he made it!

I sunk into a depression as a new mum. Saw a psychologist, but nothing really helped. The first year of his life was incredibly tough. And it wasn’t the only tough year.

One day, whilst sitting in a cemetery (of all places) with my baby in a pram, I realised I actually had a choice.

I was tired of feeling sorry for myself, and i decided to do whatever I could to help my son grow up into a healthy happy boy, and more importantly help myself.

I discovered yoga. So i started practicing every day because it made me feel good. I became addicted.

The medication they were giving my son didn’t work. The doctors were all scratching their heads as they didn’t know what to do with my son. Nothing was working.

I knew there was so much more to healing the body/mind and energy. So I started researching and learning about how I could help him. I suppose you could say he became my first client.

I decided to become a certified Yoga teacher. Through my yoga coaching studies I studied meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), Somantic counselling, nutrition, anatomy and physiology. I started to apply my teachings and knowledge to getting my son better.

In addition to this I studied Life Coaching, Reiki, Quantum bioenergetics healing, NZ school of Clinical Hypnotherapy and certified Hypnofit - hypnotherapist with Helen Mitas - world renowned and awarded hypnotherapist.

Recently completed specialist certificates under psychotherapist/hypnotherapist Mark Tyrrell on the following: Trauma Release, Lifting Depression Fast, 10 steps to Stellar Success Mindset.

I bring all of this and more to helping my clients.

And you might ask…what happened to your son?

Well, I am so proud to say he is a very healthy, happy and accomplished teenager. He never ceases to amaze me.

It’s hard to say this but if it wasn’t for his illness I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Able to help and heal other people.
