Client Testimonials
After dealing with a fear of flying for years, I tried hypnotherapy to try and relieve some of my fears and anxiety around flights. After 2 sessions, I feel much more comfortable flying, and have even been on a 10 hour flight without any anxious moments. I was made to feel very calm and comfortable during the hour sessions and would definitely use her again. Highly recommended. - S. Smith 13/02/2018
I contacted Maria to help my teenage daughter, who is a performance athlete /swimmer but she was going through a period of anxiety that was impacting her performance during racing. She was also struggling at training, becoming frustrated, feeling tired and no longer enjoying the sport that she loves.
After an initial assessment, Maria recommended Hypnotherapy treatment. Maria prepared a number of hypnotherapy sessions for my daughter, which really helped highlighting potential causes of her anxiety, and developed a treatment that helped her to gain her confidence back, which in return, made her able to control her anxiety and perform better at training and during racing.
We are very grateful for the support that Maria has given her and thanks to this treatment, my daughter is enjoying and loving swimming again. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria to anyone needed help with Anxiety.

I went to MGK Therapies for sleeping problems, after 4 sessions I have now gone from waking up every few hours a night to having full nights sleep. I have also found myself feeling less stressed and more relaxed in general. I highly recommend her if you want to make some positive changes in your life by just going along and relaxing! - S.

I went to MGK Therapies for Hypnobirthing during my pregnancy. The sessions made me feel really relaxed and calm, and put all my concerns and worries to one side, allowing me to enjoy that special time as an expectant Mum. It also helped me get through my labour with minimal pain relief so I would highly recommend MGK Therapies and Hypnobirthing for any Mums to be! - N. Hill 25/02/2018
