Sophia Whittingham Holistic Health Practitioner Gold Coast

Over the past 30 years I have worked with patients to improve their natural ability to heal. I started with Nutrition as there is such a poor understanding of food as medicine and how it affects our long-term health, with Herbal Medicine as a wonderful support for rebalancing and detoxifying. I realised that whilst most people want to change, they find it difficult to do due to subconscious programming that holds them back – which is when I chose to utilize Hypnotherapy as a way of unblocking those negative patterns. In recent years Sophia Whittingham has utilised altered states of consciousness as a way of unblocking negative patterns that dominate our lives. There’s a yearning that we can do better, perhaps have tried and been successful only after a time to go back to the same thoughts and habits. Being a registered trainer with Intuitive Intelligence which helps to uncover those dominant negative beliefs limiting our potential. This is combined with hypnotherapy, holistic counselling/psychotherapy and mindfulness to uncover and release those patterns stored in our subconscious. Sophia’s treatment scope explained: Over the last 50 years our scientific discoveries have accelerated our understanding of sickness and the treatment of disease, but it is not until recent advances in understanding of neuroplastic adaptation throughout our body that we are realizing the interconnectedness of our thoughts with our physiology, organ function and energy systems from sleep to digestion. For most of us our actions are dictated by our past experiences, and the emotional reactions linked to them, creating our thoughts and our feelings. Unfortunately, the majority of our programming sits in our subconscious brain and we are not consciously aware allowing these thoughts and feelings to continually affect our day-to-day lives. As with muscle memory, how we feel is mostly reactionary, with our internal chemistry riding a daily roller coaster leading to fatigue and toxicity. Even when we do become aware of some of these limiting beliefs it is difficult to rewire these with conscious thought alone. We cannot be expected to clear the mind without the body, the physiologically driven chemical changes that link to our feelings. When you are able to clear the negative subconscious patterning along with nutritional support and chemical re-balancing, then you can create lasting positive change.
