Internationally Recognized Subconscious Mind Expert
About Kartika Alexandra
For much of my life, I have been fascinated by people and the deeper questions of life - what shapes our experiences, how we find meaning, and why the same event can lead two people to entirely different thoughts, emotions, and outcomes.
As I grew older, that curiosity became increasingly personal.
Like many people, there were periods in my life where what was happening internally did not match what was happening externally. From the outside, things often looked fine. In many ways, they were. I was functioning, achieving, learning, and moving forward. I was winning awards, scholarships, performing piano concerts, moving up the belts colors in Karate, speaking multitude of languages and more. Yet internally, I was experiencing significant anxiety, pressure, loneliness, confusion, hopelessness and patterns that seemed far more difficult to shift than they should have been.
What frustrated me most was not that challenges existed. It was how much effort it often seemed to take to create meaningful change.
I could understand a problem.
I could see where it came from.
I could know what I should do differently.
And yet, understanding did not always lead to change.
Over time, I began to wonder if there was something deeper influencing how we think, feel, behave, and experience life. That question eventually led me to the study of the subconscious mind.
What I discovered was both simple and profound: much of what shapes our experience of life exists outside of conscious awareness.
The beliefs we carry, the patterns we repeat, the ways we relate to ourselves and others, what feels safe, what feels threatening, what feels possible, and even how we experience success, love, confidence, and fulfilment are often influenced by layers of the mind that operate beneath conscious thought.
This understanding changed the way I viewed human behaviour, personal growth, healing, and transformation. It also became the foundation of my work.
My Approach
Over the years, I have studied and trained in a variety of approaches related to psychology, hypnotherapy, trauma, subconscious change, and wellbeing.
At the same time, I have become increasingly convinced that no single modality has all the answers.
Human beings are complex and different people require different tools at different stages of their lives.
This is why I do not subscribe rigidly to any one philosophy or process. Instead, I draw from a range of approaches depending on the individual, their goals, and what I believe would be most supportive for them.
My work often includes hypnotherapy, subconscious work, emotional processing, nervous system understanding, trauma healing, updating beliefs and other complementary approaches. Though, people often arrive with a particular problem but the deeper issue is not always what it first appears to be. This is why, more importantly, it involves listening carefully and understanding what may be happening beneath the surface.
The ultimate goal is not simply feeling better but rather, it is helping people experience much greater freedom from the issues that have been holding them back, a deeper connection to themselves and others, and a clearer understanding of who they are; to help them reach their potential. When that happens, life often becomes lighter, more meaningful, and far easier to navigate.
And, when an individual experiences greater peace, clarity, freedom, and connection within themselves, the impact rarely stops there.
It influences their relationships.
Their family.
Their work.
Their community.
And ultimately, the way they move through the world.
What This Work Has Taught Me
Over the years, I have come to believe that most people are not looking for perfection.
They are looking for greater peace, clarity, freedom, connection, and ease. They want their internal experience to feel more aligned with the life they are living, and they want to feel more like themselves again.
I do not see my role as fixing people. Rather, I see my role as helping individuals better understand themselves and create the conditions for meaningful change to occur as they go out and live their lives.
This work has shown me that people are often far more capable of change than they realize. While our experiences may shape us, they do not have to define us indefinitely.
After working with thousands of clients over the years, one thing continues to stand out: people often carry far more potential than they give themselves credit for, and many do not fully realize the power of their unconscious mind.
My Work Today
Today, I work with individuals from around the world through private sessions, workshops, keynote presentations, professional training programs, and mentorship.
Many of the people I work with are highly capable, high-functioning, high performing individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. They may be founders, leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, athletes, parents, creatives, or people carrying significant responsibility in their lives. They have achieved success in their careers, relationships, or personal lives, yet privately find themselves struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, emotional patterns, relationship challenges, burnout, trauma, or a persistent feeling that something internally does not feel settled.
I am particularly known for working with more complex cases, long-standing patterns, and situations where previous approaches have provided only limited results.
In addition to my private practice, I am the founder of Maja Healing in Bali, where a team of therapists work across the mind, body, and broader human experience. I also teach my own hypnotherapy methodology through HHHypnosis® and regularly speak on topics related to the subconscious mind, emotional wellbeing, human behaviour, and personal transformation.
Beyond Private Sessions
In addition to working with private clients, I also:
• Collaborate with healthcare professionals, psychologists, doctors, and specialized centres internationally to support their clients and patients.
• Consult with organizations, leadership teams, and high-performance environments on topics related to mindset, emotional wellbeing, subconscious patterns, and sustainable performance.
• Teach my proprietary hypnotherapy methodology through HHHypnosis® certification programs.
• Mentor hypnotherapists and practitioners seeking to deepen both their clinical skills and professional confidence.
• Deliver workshops and keynote presentations on the subconscious mind, human behaviour, healing, performance, and personal transformation.
Background
I am an Indonesian-Canadian hypnotherapist, educator, and founder of Maja Healing and HHHypnosis®.
Having lived across multiple countries, cultures and religions throughout my life, including the United States, Kenya, Japan, Indonesia, and Canada, I was exposed from an early age to a wide range of perspectives on happiness, suffering, identity, health, and what it means to live well.
I completed a degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, graduating with academic recognition and scholarships. My studies, combined with extensive professional training and continuing education, led me toward an ongoing exploration of the intersection between psychology, the subconscious mind, nervous system regulation, human behaviour, and wellbeing.
In 2014, I became certified as a hypnotherapist. What began as helping friends and family unexpectedly evolved into a global practice serving clients from around the world.
In 2017, I founded Maja Healing in Bali with the vision of creating a professional, integrative wellness centre where practitioners could support clients through the mind, body, and broader human experience.
Today, I continue to work with clients internationally, teach future hypnotherapists, and deepen my understanding of what helps people create meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
Beyond the Work
When I am not working, teaching, or learning, you will most likely find me travelling to remote islands, scuba diving, sharing a good cup of coffee, enjoying a memorable degustation, spending time with my life partner and dogs, or having honest conversations about life, ideas, and the realities of being human.
You may also find me in a silent meditation retreat.
Or laughing.
Quite a lot, actually.
More than I used to, and perhaps that is one of the things I am most grateful for.
After all these years, I have come to believe that wellbeing is not simply about overcoming problems. It is about creating a life that feels meaningful, connected, and genuinely enjoyable to live.
