Client Testimonials

I had hypnotherapy many years ago to address a specific childhood situation I had experienced that really proved successful.

Arranging to meet Kartika for a hypnosis session whilst on a detox holiday in Bali felt different. I was not sure what exactly I was wanting to achieve by undergoing hypnosis at this time in my life and whether I was just booking the session on a  detox  whim as my friend had booked an appointment with Kartika for a health issue.

When Kartika asked me to email her with any background information and my reason for wanting to see her,  I could only explain  it as feeling blocked and unable to move forward in my life as I would like.  A feeling that I had been self sabotaging some of  the success in my life on a career, financial and romantic level.  Not intentionally of course, but if I really thought about it,  when things were great , I started to pull back and feel I needed to change my situation or that I should be doing better or doing something different.     I also found that when  I really thought hard about certain experiences in my life, I had spent a lot of time focusing on achieving financial security and finding the perfect husband and fantastic career but not not actually feeling I had reached any of these goals.  I was not unhappy as I had wonderful family and friends but had a feeling of being unfulfilled.

My session with Kartika started with a very structured explanation of what was going to happen.  She honed into my  state of mind in what seemed like a  matter of minutes.  Her knowledge and expertise came across as authoritative and highly professional but also extremely caring and compassionate.

She explained how long the session would last and that by the end of the session her objective was to have found the cause of the way I was feeling and acting.   She used the analogy of a computer that had a virus that needed to be removed.

During hypnosis, I began to feel deep overwhelming emotions building up within me that I had never experienced before.   I was delving back into areas of my life I had not thought  possible.  Relating right back to a prenatal state in my mothers womb.  I could not have imagined this would turn out to be the reason I had been feeling the way I had at certain times in my life.    I also began to feel my left arm ache  during the session.  Over the years, I have had a number of minor accidents to my arm and always thought they were to blame for a weakness/ache I often experienced.   The session identified that my left arm was affected whilst in the womb alongside the state of mind of my mother.  As a result, it had manifested as physical discomfort and a weak spot area throughout my life.

Kartika's care, understanding and methods, I believe, empowered me to work through my feelings and the experiences I had been carrying within me for so many years.

Kartika's analogy of a computer that has a virus  was a very good one.  It enabled me to visualise and understand that once I had addressed the deep rooted feelings and emotions I had experienced at the very beginning of my life , I could remove the guilt and sadness I had been carrying from my mother whilst in the womb and subsequent adoption for so long.  I could sympathise, forgive and reach a true level of appreciation and peace with my mother and myself.

After the hypnosis, Kartika told me how she believed I may feel and what I needed to do for the next few days whilst I digested all of what I had been through under hypnosis and what it has raised.

I believe Kartika has a real gift and vocation to work in this highly specialised field.  She has a wealth of academic qualifications but it is her warm, caring and genuine interest and desire to help each client  that shines through when you are with her.

Since having hypnosis,  I have felt like a weight has been lifted from me.  It was not immediate.  I thought a lot about the session for the next few days and questioned whether I had experienced any changes at all.  But as each week has passed,  I have come to realise that I am approaching every day life and difficult situations in a way that is so much calmer and with a great feeling of optimism. and happiness.   I have always been an eternal optimist, half glass full kind of person on a general level but I realise that I had not given myself the permission to achieve whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted. Diverting to the ideas of others.    I  believe that my life is what I make of it and living in the present, enjoying the small things as well as the exceptional and fabulous fun things  each day brings. I also feel I am not comparing myself with the success of others as I have often done before.  Quite amazing really to think all of this has happened in such a short time frame and one hypnosis session.  It is as Kartika explained.  Once you remove the virus, it is gone and the computer can work more effectively as it should.

I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and be treated by Kartika.  I would highly recommend her to anyone including people who cannot quite put their finger on exactly why they are feeling the way they are, however random and want clarity and change.   Kartika deserves all the recognition she is achieving from her clients and peers worldwide.   Thank you so much Kartika:-)
