Testimonials
I have been suffering from anxiety based on an irrational fear I have developed whilst sleeping at altitude. This became an issue three or four years ago whilst on a skiing holiday.
I had no problem skiing during the day at the same or even higher altitude but often in the night I was overcome with a fear that I couldn’t breath sufficiently causing a mild panic attack and inability to sleep.
Having listened to a relaxation recording provided by Katie prior to going skiing and if anxious during the night when on holiday this year as well, I found I slept soundly every night whilst at high altitude.
Her recordings help to instil confidence and induce relaxation. It made my holiday so much better.

Katie Peterson has helped me deeply to get power back over my own life and let go of some entrenched old beliefs... She has such a gentle voice and manner that you feel so supported to transcend your darkest moments, and also uplifted to connect with inner joy, self esteem and optimism... THANKYOU dear soul~ for sharing your golden gift with others, with trust, faith and care xxxxx 💛

Rebecca doing a lot better. Down to 1 check in a day at school and none on a Friday.
I was going to tell you on person, I read Rebecca your story and it really resonated with her. Showed her the pictures. The idea of an anxiety creature that is trying to protect her by making her too anxious, really hit home.
Sometimes in the morning, when walking towards school, Rebecca will say she's feeling nervous and I'll remind her of her little anxiety friend that thinks it's helping but isn't really because she's safe and not in any danger.
WORKS EVERY TIME.
Rebecca talks it through with me and agrees and then usually whispers or just says something like, "I'm okay, you don't to protect me. Sssshhhhh, settle down"

I’d like to start by saying that, before my first session with Katie, I was a little apprehensive and unsure what to expect. That feeling quickly went away within a few minutes of chatting to Katie as she made me feel very relaxed and welcome very quickly.
Over the years my fear of flying increased. I love travelling and want to visit as many places in the world that I can, however the thought of flights to get to many places was putting me off.
I had a number of sessions with Katie ahead of my first holiday after the Covid restrictions had lifted. I could feel a difference in myself from the moment I got up in the morning. I didn’t have the same worries as normal and was actually looking forward to my holiday rather than worrying about the flight to get there.
One year on and I have been on a few planes now and I am delighted that the flight is still not a worry for me and I can enjoy the whole experience from start to finish.
I definitely feel Katie has helped me overcome the anxiety I felt before and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for some help.

"Thank you so much, I was as cool as a cucumber the full day on Tuesday, flight was great. Hotel, company & weather is great. I've missed out so much in the last 9 years x"

"I cannot recommend working with Katie highly enough.
From our first consultation it was evident that she truly listened, which is a very rare quality, in todays fast paced world.
Although I initially referred myself for weight management, it was evident that a lot of other factors were also at play.
My sessions were tailor made for me, and the light bulb moments I’ve experienced in this journey have been quite extraordinary. No more desire to raid cupboards at midnight and I’m down an easy 14 lbs.
Katie – you’ve given me back my power; belief; and zest for life and that is immeasurable.
Thank you."

"I have suffered from IBS for a number of years, and at times it can be difficult living and dealing with it.
I came across an article about how hypnotherapy could help those with IBS. When I looked into it in a bit more detail the potential positive results sounded very promising.
I subsequently contacted Katie Peterson who is a fully qualified hypnotherapy practitioner. A meeting was then set up for an initial discussion with Katie. That’s when I found her to be extremely professional and passionate about the work she does.
A programme was then put in place and sessions which usually lasted around ninety minutes arranged. After each of these Katie would send out a recording of what had taken place, and what action I needed to take before the next appointment.
There is no cure for IBS but I can say that my symptoms are much reduced and I am more confident in dealing with it as Katie installs a positive can do attitude which helps me deal with IBS.
I would accordingly have no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone thinking about contacting her to see what hypnotherapy can offer you."

“I can really recommend Katie Peterson and her amazing hypnotherapy sessions. She makes healing, learning and relaxation feel easy, fun and simple. Your conscious mind will let go of deeper life issues as the unconscious parts of you are addressed calmly, gently and gracefully; by the flow of her compassionate, kind and supportive words that just wash over you. I am full of creative new ideas after these positive encounters, and the grief, loss and trauma that has weighed heavily on my heart since last year is gradually lifting away now; leaving me with only the pure essence of love from my mum, and all of my beloved ones in spirit...
I have also received some hypnotherapy audio files, so I can reinforce all of the abundance in my own space. Thankyou sincerely for all your special gifts dear soul... XXXXX “ Anna
"I went to the dentist last night. Had a filling repaired and it was completely fine. Still a touch nervous before going in but during and after was great. Many thanks for your help, what a difference!" Ross
"Katie is a lovely, warm, friendly person who immediately puts you at ease. She has access to a range of tools for personal transformation. These tools allow you to focus on what you want to focus on, achieve your goals and have confidence in yourself. Her voice is deeply relaxing and soothing and the hypnosis is very powerful and transformative." Claire
"I was worried about speaking to someone about my problems, but I found Katie to be friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to. She has a lovely calm voice and a gentle manner, and our sessions were both relaxing and comfortable. Seeing Katie has helped me with anxiety and self-esteem issues. I feel I am coping with work and personal challenges more positively and enjoying a less critical and more fulfilling life. " Hazel
"I had my first experience of hypnotherapy with Katie last summer and it was a real surprise. During a very stressful time of my life, Katie helped me focus and face my difficulties with more confidence. After each session, I felt relaxed, more mindful and optimistic. I must say I didn’t expect that: after only 3 sessions, I could feel the difference; I felt better and I found again the strength to go through the challenges that life was presenting. I can warmly recommend Katie’s services." Michela
