Hypnotherapy
Harnessing the Power of the Mind for Holistic Healing
At Hobart Modern Hypnosis, we specialise in medical hypnosis—a therapeutic approach that leverages the mind-body connection to support healing, manage chronic conditions, and enhance overall well-being. Our experienced practitioners are dedicated to facilitating positive change, offering solutions where conventional medical treatments may fall short.

What Is Medical Hypnosis?
Medical hypnosis is a complementary therapy that utilises focused attention and suggestion to influence physiological and psychological processes. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnosis can:
- Alleviate chronic pain and discomfort
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Enhance the effectiveness of medical treatments
- Accelerate recovery and healing processes
This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking holistic methods to manage health challenges.

5 Great Reasons to Try Medical Hypnosis
- It Treats More Than Just Symptoms – Medical hypnosis works at the root cause of many conditions by addressing the unconscious patterns that contribute to pain, stress, and dysfunction — not just masking the symptoms.
- It’s Backed by Science – Numerous clinical studies show that hypnosis is effective for managing chronic pain, IBS, anxiety, recovery after surgery, and even autoimmune disorders — with support from hospitals and medical professionals worldwide.
- Drug-Free and Non-Invasive – Unlike many medical treatments, hypnosis doesn’t involve medication, injections, or surgery. It’s a gentle, natural therapy that uses the mind’s own resources to promote healing and balance.
- It Works When Other Approaches Don’t – Many people turn to medical hypnosis after trying everything else. It offers a completely different pathway by working with the subconscious — where many long-term issues are stored and reinforced.
- It Supports Faster Healing – Hypnosis can help reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and accelerate the body’s natural repair processes — making it ideal for recovery after injury, illness, or surgery.
This works! I did the Breakthrough sessions with Steve, and the results have exceeded my wildest expectations. For 30 years I felt like I was wearing a concrete suit – it has now shattered and fallen away, and I can breathe deeply again. Chronic pain – resolved. Panic attacks – disappeared. PTSD – gone. My friends are commenting on how much younger I look, and how much happier and relaxed I am. Life is so much easier, and there is joy in every day. Thank you Steve, eternal gratitude.

What is medical hypnosis?
Medical hypnosis is a clinically supported, mind-body therapy that uses guided relaxation, advanced hypnosis, and suggestion to influence physical symptoms, reduce stress, and support healing. It’s often used to manage chronic pain, digestive issues, anxiety, and other health conditions.
How is medical hypnosis different from traditional hypnotherapy?
While general hypnotherapy may focus on habits or emotional issues (like smoking or confidence), medical hypnosis is specifically used to address physical conditions. It is often integrated with medical care and used for pain management, recovery, and chronic illness support.
What conditions can medical hypnosis help with?
Medical hypnosis can support a wide range of conditions, including:
- Chronic pain (e.g. fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain)
- IBS and digestive disorders
- Autoimmune conditions
- Skin issues (e.g. eczema, psoriasis)
- Anxiety and stress-related illness
- Sleep problems
- Surgical recovery
- Fertility and pregnancy support
Is medical hypnosis backed by science?
Yes. Clinical studies and hospital programs worldwide recognise the effectiveness of medical hypnosis for pain reduction, anxiety management, surgical recovery, and more. It’s increasingly used in integrative medicine settings.
Is hypnosis safe?
Absolutely. Hypnosis is a natural, drug-free, and non-invasive process. You remain in control throughout the session, and many people find it relaxing and empowering. Our practitioners are trained in ethical, evidence-informed techniques.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No. Contrary to myths, you won’t be unconscious or controlled. You’ll be in a focused, relaxed state, aware of your surroundings and in full control of your responses. Hypnosis is a collaborative process.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition and goals. Some people notice changes after just 1–2 sessions; others benefit from a longer-term plan. During your initial consultation, we’ll tailor a recommendation to suit your needs.
Can medical hypnosis replace my doctor or medications?
No. Medical hypnosis is a complementary therapy, it works best when used alongside traditional medical care. We often collaborate with doctors, psychologists, and allied health professionals to support your overall wellbeing.
