February’s Sky Lantern Journal is now out :-)

After a very full January, this month feels like my time to reset. In this edition, I share a little of what's been happening in life and an invitation to join me for The Oasis of Clarity on Sunday, March 1st.

Do you ever feel like your mind just won’t switch off?

Like your thoughts keep circling… replaying… analysing… planning…and no matter how much you try to solve everything, you simply want to feel calm again?

If you’ve been craving space to slow down, soften mental chatter, and reconnect with your inner stillness, this session is for you.

So if you'd like to read the current Journal and reserve your space for The Oasis of Clarity then click here, or message me below:

We had a few hospital visits with my daughter, which shifted everything for a little while. She’s doing well now, and as the kids have settled back into school, I can feel that sense of "normal" starting to return.

At Sky Lantern, I create Hypnotic Sound Meditations that combine the science of hypnosis with the restorative power of sound. These sessions are designed to help calm the nervous system, release tension, and support emotional balance particularly for those managing stress, anxiety, or the challenges of illness and recovery.

This latest recording was created in the quiet hours of the morning, when the world is still and the house is quiet. It’s a shorter version of one of my group sessions, focused purely on relaxation. It is long enough to help you unwind, yet short enough to fit into your day whenever you need a moment to breathe.

If you’ve been looking for a gentle way to pause and restore calm, I invite you to listen:

Find a comfortable place to sit or rest, close your eyes, and allow the journey to guide your mind back to stillness.

This meditation is designed to guide you into deep relaxation and inner calm, using gentle hypnosis and music tuned to 432Hz — a frequency often described as...

🌿 Rest & Restore – A Wellness Workshop for People on the Cancer Journey 🌿

For anyone on their cancer journey, or anyone you know on a cancer journey… Rest and Restore is here!

Most people on a cancer journey report feeling tired, foggy, or emotionally burned out, but… it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Science has something to say about this. Hypnosis has shown real, measurable benefits for people recovering from cancer. A randomized controlled trial published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (Grégoire et al., 2022) demonstrated that a group program combining self-care and self-hypnosis significantly reduced cancer-related fatigue, improved sleep quality, and lowered emotional distress… and these effects were still present a full year later.

And while you have probably heard that exercise is good for recovery, it doesn’t have to be intense. Engaging in regular, light-intensity physical activity has been shown to reduce fatigue, improve mood, and enhance overall quality of life for cancer patients. Studies indicate that even modest levels of activity can lead to significant improvements in physical and emotional well-being.

These are just some of the reasons why we created Rest & Restore, a small-group, half-day workshop that combines both of these powerful, evidence-based tools.

💛 Open to people living with cancer (any stage) and their carers
🧘 Gentle movement guided by Exercise Physiologists at Cynergy Allied Health.
🌀 Guided hypnosis and sound therapy, guided by Professional Hypnotherapist April Kinney
🎁 Wellness Gift Bundle included
📅 Sunday, July 20 | 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM | Solaris Conference Hall, Cottesloe

✨ Feel rested. Feel supported. Feel restored. ✨

Most of the work I do is with people who are dealing with cancer…them, their families, and their carers…navigate the emotional challenges of the journey.

More and more people are seeking complimentary therapies to help support their emotional and physical healing and wellbeing. Hypnotherapy can play a significant role in this by offering a safe place to release fear, anger, sadness, and doubt… Now every person is different and faces different emotions, but one thing remains the same…everyone wants to feel more empowered, happier, peaceful, joyful, positive, and optimistic.

So that is my gift to this world… and one which is transforming people’s lives 🙏

Ok… the weirdest thing happened today after my group hypnotherapy session. Today’s journey was to obtain clarity and focus. The guide for this journey was a dragonfly… and when was the last time you saw a dragonfly???

No more than 30 minutes after the session and I am standing in the foyer of a friends apartment building and she says something about something flying around… yep… a dragonfly!!! Not sure if that was a message for me or her??!!!
