Sleep transformation
" 'When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive'. I'm not sure where that quote comes from but it is a perfect description of what happened for me.
I don't normally read Next magazine but a spare ten minutes, a copy thrust into my hands and Charlotte's article explaining NLP all came together. I had been suffering insomnia and knew someone in the article who had been treated by Charlotte. I picked up the phone and commenced a journey that has changed my life. Charlotte's approach is to keep asking questions until she has a firm understanding of what you want out of the sessions and your life. I soon realised that lack of sleep wasn't the only issue that needed addressing and Charlotte and I have worked through these. Some of it is tough going and she handles the sessions with empathy and humour but she is no soft touch and expect your thinking to be challenged along the way.
I am now happier and healthier than I have been for a very long time. I look at my life differently and think about myself in a whole new way. Along the way we have slain some demons and built a picture of what my future will look like and it is very, very exciting.
A huge thanks Charlotte!"
JS, business owner, Wellington
"For a number of years I had an issue where at very frequent intervals I felt the need to urinate. This appeared to be a physical problem as the body sensations experienced indicated the need was urgent. As a consequence concerns were ever present in my mind, and persistently interrupted my daily activities and normal healthy sleep patterns. I worked on this in two sessions with Charlotte and the issue has disappeared. Charlotte worked with me on thought management practices that are highly effective. I am absolutely delighted with the results. I recommend Charlotte highly. She is professional, friendly and it is easy to discuss what may seem to be very embarrassing matters."
Anonymous.
"I tried NLP for my sleep problems and after a 2 hour session and a follow-up phone call, I am happy to report that I have been sleeping so well every since. Even if I wake in the night I am able to get myself back to sleep. I highly recommend this opportunity to all."
Kate Rainger, Hawkes Bay.
"My sleep patterns were awry and I knew that NLP was a very powerful tool, but I said to Charlotte that I wasn't expecting a miracle but would be glad of a longer episode of sleep at nights. After one session, and twenty four hours, I was sleeping 5 hours in one episode and easily returning to sleep for a further period each night. Because I felt so comfortable in Charlotte's presence, I sought her help on another subject. There too, I have been delighted with the result and feel I that I have, indeed, received my miracle! Thank you Charlotte!"
Nola, Palmerston North.
"I came to Charlotte after reading an article about her and her methods, with a 7 year sleeping tablet habit. I had tried many other forms of therapy to rid myself of the tablets but was unable to sleep without at least a nibble on one and then only fitfully. After a week I was sleeping well and soundly - able to fall back to sleep if I woke up and awake feeling refreshed. Charlotte, you are amazing, you have such positivity and a gentle energy. Thank you Charlotte you are magic."
Viva Bone
"Having tried several other techniques to fix my poor sleeping habits, I was recommended to try NLP. After several sessions with Charlotte she not only showed me how to achieve a good nights sleep but empowered me to go forward positively with my life. By using this skill I am confident that I can face the many challenges that may come my way in the future."
Empowered, Wellington
"Difficulty sleeping is a problem we see often in general practice, and can be very difficult to manage. This is particularly the case when it has become an entrenched pattern, rather than as a short term response to stress. Since learning of Charlotte's interest in treating insomnia, I have referred a number of patients to her, some of whom are now sleeping without recourse to medication for the first time in many years."
Dr Brenda Gibson, GP, The Terrace Medical Centre, Wellington.
"After four years of drug-induced sleep, I am finally sleeping naturally again, and that's after only five sessions with Charlotte. I am overwhelmed by the results an recommend Charlotte to anyone suffering from insomnia. Sleep is bliss!"
LL, Marketing Consultant, Wellington.
"Having suffered sleeping problems for over 10 years I was delighted with the improvement I achieved after the first session. The advice was practical and the recommened actions very effective."
BJL, Wellington
"I have been astonished by the results I have had. After one session with Charlotte my longstanding and deteriorating sleep disorder was completely "cured". It has been several months now and I continue to sleep soundly through the night - every night.
When you are used to tolerating poor sleep patterns and sleep deprivation you forget just how wonderful it feels to give your body and mind the quality and quantity of sleep it needs. It's just wonderful!
I wish I had discovered Charlotte years ago."
JBA, Wellington.
"After many years of drug induced
sleep a doctor suggested I go see Charlotte. I was a little sceptical,
so I sat on the idea for a few weeks. I wish I hadn't. After the first
session I slept, unmedicated, for eight hours and have every night
since. I have so much energy to do all the things I struggled to do
before. NLP is an empowering tool and has allowed me to be me again."
Sean, Wellington.
"When I came to Charlotte for help
with insomnia, I was heavily reliant on sleeping tablets and had had
trouble sleeping for over ten years. After my first session with
Charlotte, I was able to go to sleep without any medication, and have
been sleeping well ever since! When friends mention that they are
having chronic sleeping trouble, I really encourage them to consult
with Charlotte. I have also used NLP to change other aspects of my
life, with amazing results. Charlotte has really helped me to change my
life, and does so in a supportive and safe environment. If you are
having trouble sleeping, I encourage you to consult with Charlotte to
change your situation."
Julie T, Wellington.
"I had a serious / inhibiting
sleeping disorder for 25 years. I saw Charlotte out of desperation
rather than hope. Despite immense scepticism; we have achieved
remarkable results and behavioural changes. I can't tell you what a
difference this has made to so many aspects of my life. My partner and
I are getting on better than ever, work is a doddle and I look forward
to tomorrow and most significantly - going to bed!"
R.A. Wellington.
"I recently had the good fortune of
being referred to Charlotte for help with a severe insomnia problem �
duration 5-6 years. I had been in an endless cycle of staying awake
until 2 or 3 am every night and then dragging myself through the day
suffering from low energy, lack of motivation and irritability.
Since seeing Charlotte I now look forward to bedtime and find I can
relax and fall asleep within 10-15 minutes and continue to sleep
through the night. My energy levels have soared along with renewed
interest and vitality. I feel like I have my life back."
Sue M, Wellington.
Life changes with one to one therapy and coaching
"I want to say thank you Charlotte, I appreciate your professionalism and I have been inspired! The tool you taught me I feel will be of great value from now on. It already has been used and has given me a new energy to keep moving forward. I like the way the tool is something that I feel is part of me. I am excited about my future as a hypnotherapist and the seminars I have developed. It is wonderful to feel connected with you and others who are working together to make our world a happier place."
Brenda C, clinical hypnotherapist, Wellington.
"Through my sessions with Charlotte I feel I have more control over my emotions and thought processes which has resulted in a more positive attitude to all aspects of my life."
Fiona Becker, Wellington.
"Charlotte taught me that it is simple to change the way you think and I now find I challenge my thoughts and have stopped imagining a lot of things."
Rachel, manager, Wellington.
"I had spent years suffering from anxiety and depression. Charlotte helped me change my life back to happy times again and now I feel on top of the world. I now have the strength to play with my children and enjoy life to the full. I cannot thank her enough!!!"
Jodi Wood, mother and HR coordinator, Wellington.
"I came with an expectation of what I would like to change and to my delight had many other areas of my life enhanced. I have grown from the challenges and experiences and feel ready and able to move forward with my life and more in control."
KC, Wellington.
"Before undergoing IVF treatment I had 2 NLP sessions with Charlotte. I felt anxious and worried about the treatment. I wasn't sure how I would cope with it and was starting to get nervous before the treatment had even begun. I knew I wanted to be in a better frame of mind before starting. Charlotte gave me the tools I needed to start and get through the treatment in the right frame of mind. It really was an amazing experience and I felt in complete control - the opposite of how I felt before I saw her.
Using the skills she taught me I started the treatment feeling excited and ready. These skills have been useful in other areas of my life as well. I credit Charlotte with so much of the success that we had and believe that my ability to be calm and positive helped in our treatment.
If only she could cure morning sickness!"
JM, Wellington.
"I had been feeling out of balance for some time, over-busy but underachieving, and suffering from depression. I felt unhappy, unmotivated, unproductive, disfunctional, and dissatisfied. In just two sessions, with some 'homework" for me in between, Charlotte was able to identify and remove mental/psychological barriers and restore my functionality, productivity, and sense of fulfilment. My mind is now clear of negative dialogue, my mental processes are back up to where they should be, and the depression has gone. Being a sceptical person, I was extremely surprised at the results! The change has reaped huge benefits in my personal well-being and happiness, in my family life, and in my business. Overall, the outcomes have been profound and permanent.
With Charlotte I always felt that I was in very safe, secure hands, and that she had my best interests at heart and was doing her utmost to help me. I appreciated her attitude, engaging nature, and enthusiasm, in addition to her expertise and professionalism. I don't profess to fully understand the techniques that Charlotte uses. Suffice to say that they work, and it is great to feel alive, and engaged in life, again. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone who wants to restore or regain functionality, productivity, fulfilment, and balance."
Dr Mark Tippett
"I suffered from anxiety for a number of years before I decided I could not go on feeling as anxious as I was. It was starting to really affect my life and, having some knowledge of NLP, I knew that I needed to regain control over my thoughts which would then affect my feelings. My determination to overcome this combined with the techniques that Charlotte taught me, have enabled me to identify the thoughts that triggered the anxious feelings. NLP helped me to change my old thought patterns into more positive productive ones. The result... I am feeling heaps more relaxed and confident! That said, I need to keep practicing the techniques that Charlotte taught me as NLP is not necessarily a 'miracle cure' - this is something that Charlotte reminded me of! My sessions with Charlotte were always solution focused and positive. I found her to be a knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy NLP practitioner, and I would recommend her to anyone interested in making positive life changes. "
Kate, Wellington.
"I wasn't sure what to expect and got a lot more from it than I thought I would - it's priceless when I really think about what I got out of it. It changed the way I think about things and how I see things. Charlotte got me to a place I would never have got to on my own. I feel able to cope with things and more in control of my situation. It's a wonderful thing to do for yourself. You will get more out of it than you think going to see her. She is an easy person to talk to and what she says makes total sense."
Annonymous, Wellington.
"My expectations were surpassed I was surprised at how few sessions I needed. I felt like I could have gone on for ages paying a psycho-therapist and getting nowhere fast - with Charlotte I really noticed the results from each session - so an excellent return on investment!
Charlotte really does work wonders. She understood my needs and tailored the sessions that absolutely hit the right mark and got results that I wouldn't have believed could be achieved so seemingly effortlessly. Thanks Charlotte!"
Christine, Consultant, Wellington.
"I had spent nearly two years feeling unhappy and demoralised, I found myself in a constant state of gloom and panic. A friend whose opinion I value recommended Charlotte to me. Charlotte was very open and inspired trust and confidence. I really appreciated the follow-up phone call two weeks after my final session. I hope I have learned to value what I have and will never go near that dark hole again."
IM, writer, Wellington
"I had 3 sessions with Charlotte over a couple of months period. The techniques and conversation helped me get a different and more constructive view of myself. Through the sessions I got a much clearer understanding of my values and of what is important to me. This clarity combined with improved confidence allows me to make better decisions on all elements in my life going forward."
GB, Wellington
"I have successfully worked with Charlotte in using NLP to cure myself of asthma, hayfever, dustmite allergeries and lactose intolerance. Previously I was heavily reliant on asthma prevention medication, but since undergoing NLP treatment, I am able to breathe freely on my own. Similarly I no longer suffer from hayfever and dustmite allergies. As for that lactose intolerance, lets just say that I now love my hot chocolates with real milk!"
Julie T, Wellington
"I came to Charlotte feeling rather hopeless and having had suicidal thoughts, and left after 3 sessions absolutely buzzing. I experienced positive benefits after my first session and within 1 month felt positive enough about myself to search for, and find, a new job. Before I was a chronic self-doubter; now I have the tools to break the cycle and move beyond to where I want to be. "
Susan, Wellington.
"I had had a broken relationship with a guy, and the stress and anxiety that brings as it was totally unexpected, lawyers settlement, property packing and the emotional highs and lows that this brought. Then realising I was so unhappy in my job, and not enjoying it at all, realising that I took the job for the money and not for passion, what a mistake, coupled with a medical check up 3 months after the relationship break up, having a HIV positive diagnosis, life was fairly difficult, and that was the final blow, I had lost feeling connected to life people, things, cat and New Zealand as a whole, and had lost my love for Christchurch. Included in this was a move to a new city Wellington that was enough to make me stressed and not feeling good at all. So that's the background.
So I was referred to Charlotte through another NLP therapist in Christchurch, and the issues that I needed to deal with, and learn coping mechanisms for, were around stopping the negative thoughts coming in to my head stopping them before they took hold of me, this was not easy to start with as there was still a lot of emotion spinning around in my head through all the events that I had experienced. The technique that worked for me most in the end was the three finger model, or not sure what it's called. But I was, and am able to, stop negative thoughts coming in by touching my middle finger knuckle and giving it a squeeze, and saying to myself "no way", then moving to me next finger on the left using my left hand and giving myself a positive affirmation, something that comes into the head and then on the last little finger thinking of an instant pleasant thought and breathing that in, the breathing in for me is important as it becomes real and you can feel the changes instantly.
I cannot say I am 100% totally recovered as I also have realised that you need to be a realist when it comes to some crisis in your life, and I had a few for 2007, and they were what I call big ones. Life now is a much more settled stable environment where other things are more important me, sure I don't feel 100% connected to things or possessions but that's cool, and that's the way I imagine I will stay as possessions had too great a place in my life, people are more important and the enjoyment one gets from every day living and breathing, even typing this out gives me pleasure as I I can see how far I have come in such a short time-frame and 12 months is not far away at all, and lots of positive things have occurred. If I can say more I am more than happy to comment further if you need further feedback or contact me if you would like more info for others to see that NLP does work, it's great, it's instant, you need to practise but my god its so real and healing and that's what you need during a crisis time to breath and time to heal..."
Annonymous, Wellington.
"I wanted to work on my personal goals and aims without having to rely on interventions from the medical profession that involved medication. I wanted to deal with issues in a healthy and normal manner. I have never sought counselling of any type and was naturally very intrepid about sharing my personal issues with a "stranger". I don't know why I worried about this as Charlotte was completely professional and I felt very comfortable with her. I was quite sceptical about some of the sessions I went through as I was quite dubious of seeing any results. It was not till after completing the sessions and realising that very positive changes were taking place in my life that I started to sit up and take notice! I consider what I have learnt and the resulting life changing measures I have put into place are invaluable and priceless. Thank you!"
TT, Wellington.
"Charlotte has in three sessions given me the tools to change my approach to living, thank you."
Jonathon King, Teacher, Wellington.
"Through NLP Charlotte has given me the tools to change my thought patterns from negative to positive. My outlook on life has changed. I look forward to spending time on my own and now have the tools to face any challenges that come my way. I am happier and more confident and I have noticed that I tell others about the tools to use to combat negativity and lack of self-confidence, I figure if I'm passing on tips to others I must have learnt a lot! Thank you Charlotte!"
Diana, Wellington.
"I have suffered from shy bladder syndrome ('paruresis') since childhood. Before I saw Charlotte I had made significant progress through behavioural therapy, but couldn't fully believe in my own ability to change. After a few sessions with Charlotte, I was able to go to the toilet on a plane for the first time. This means that I can now plan trips overseas. The hardest thing for me has been to believe that I can be free of the problem, and Charlotte has really helped me to change this negative self belief."
Annonymous, Wellington.
"If you take a close look at any given area of expertise you usually find
within that field a small group of individuals using techniques that achieve results the rest would
consider miraculous or even impossible. These people we usually say are at 'the
cutting edge' because they are using skills and tools the rest will use tomorrow.
Charlotte Hinksman is one such person.
If you have recently been diagnosed or even have long standing health or emotional problems I
strongly urge you to consult Charlotte. Working with this lady will teach
you that lasting change is not only possible, it can actually be really fun and interesting too!"
Dr Tobias Hall. IIst Nat.Dip. BS Hons D.C.
"I enjoyed my sessions with Charlotte; I learnt a lot about how my brain works which helped me understand myself. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and comfortable. I would recommend it as a way of learning more about yourself. This helps with self-esteem, making decicions and being in control of your life, rather than it controlling you."
Anon, Wellington.
"For as long as I can remember I have lived with headaches, some minor, some severe. Before I met Charlotte I couldn't imagine my life without them. Now, I wake up in the morning and it is the last thing I think about. In fact, I would find it hard to remember what a headache is! I am very surprised by the result and how easy it all was. Thank you very much Charlotte."
Emma Ecott.
"I found NLP to be very open and positive it has helped me close out old issues that were restricting my personal and business growth."
Leanne Love, Wellington.
"I can confidently recommend Charlotte's NLP techniques. She is a lovely sympathetic listener and her methods really work. Both Charlotte and her techniques are non-threatening and easy to implement. I am happy to be contacted for further details."
Karen O'Neil, Manager, Wellington.
"This was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had, if not the single biggest 'eye opener' for me. In all honesty it's completely changed my life and I am now well on my way to realising my full potential and my hopes - I couldn't ask for more. I am just so glad that I made the decision to go to Charlotte. Going through NLP has been a springboard for me in all areas of my life and I think I am now quite possibly unstoppable! "
Judy, Project Coordinator, Wellington.
"I am extremely happy with the result I achieved with you. I have been thinking about it, and the two words I would now use to sum up how I feel are "relaxed and energetic". Honestly I feel the best I can ever remember. Nothing seems to phase me now, I have been working extra hours at work and not feeling run down or stressed at all. I have also lost all of the negative, down type feelings I had when I first came to see you. There is still some work I would like to do in the area of weight and eating healthier, but for now, thank you so much! "
SJ, Manager, Wellington.
"I am pleased that it was recommended for me to have NLP due to the PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] that I was experiencing. I am very grateful for the positive help and outcome which has been quite life altering. I would like to say many thanks to Charlotte for being professional and very sensitive to my needs. She has helped me with a severe case of PTSD that I had. I would recommend your services."
Christine, Wanganui.
"We would highly encourage them [individuals or organisations] to consider NLP and Charlotte by giving them examples of the help we received from her. We found Charlotte to be easy to speak to and felt very comfortable to discuss our feelings and emotions with her."
PK & SE, Wellington.
"Charlotte is professional and will do her very best to help - I had been to other sessions with other NLP practitioners. Charlotte did not give up on me and did get me further than anyone else. Thank you again!"
SL, Business Entrepreneur, Wellington.
"From a young age actually ever since I can remember
I have had a fear of pain itself and the things that will cause me pain. It has restricted me from lots of things. Either it be injections where the nurses had to restrain me or ear piercing where I backed out of it too many times I have been terrified. My family and myself where getting extremely annoyed by this fear. One day my Step-mother came home and said that she had meet a lady who specialises in NLP and I said well what's that. She explained to me that this lady will reprogram my brain. So I thought well ok let's give this a shot. I had four sessions with Charlotte and now I have had liquid nitrogen put on my foot and had my ears pierced again. I did the nitrogen by myself. I am proud to say that I attended NLP and it worked. I am so happy now."
Lizzy Gordon, Student, Wellington.
"My experience with Charlotte was very pleasing. I have made very good progress in several areas of my life that were previously causing me concern. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly and effectively I experienced positive results. If you put what I got in a shop window with a price on it, I don't think I would have believed it was true."
Anon, Wellington.
"I have been someone who has worried what other people think, for as long as I can remember and I have always thought that was just the way I am. By my mid 30s a few things changed in my professional life and I started to suffer from anxiety and depression and started taking anti-depressants. I thought I had solved things so came off them only to return to anti-depressants as things started to unravel again. My doctor gave me Charlotte's card and I decided I wanted to do something about it. After my very first session with Charlotte, I could already see a big difference and through my sessions (about 5 of them) I feel I have reprogrammed the way I think about some large issues, and I can use what I have learnt to stop myself obsessing about situations that make me feel uncomfortable."
SD, Manager, Wellington
"Charlotte's NLP sessions have greatly improved my life in many areas. I was struggling to get over past traumas which were hindering my progress in my career, and relationships. The NLP sessions have been very effective. I'm not carrying emotional baggage anymore. As a result many positive changes have occurred in my relationships and in my career. Now I am taking opportunities which I would not even have considered before and I'm better for it. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their life, but is not sure where or how to begin. Charlotte's NLP sessions are professional and non-intrusive. The results speak for themselves."
H.DR, Wellington.
"I found Charlotte a lovely, friendly, approachable person to talk to. She showed me, using NLP mechanism, to cope better, get a better handle on my anxiety and a better perspective on life in general."
Anon, Wellington.
"The five sessions I had with
Charlotte definitely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend NLP
to all people who are seeking a more positive lifestyle."
A. Bull, Hairdresser, Wellington.
"Count me on the list of believers
in NLP. My breakthrough was finally releasing my need
for affirmation and after testing it repeatedly - the change has
definitely stuck! Thank you for offering this amazing new world
to me, I am very grateful. I am astonished by the
results and at the same time, have always believed so much of our outer
experience is directly related to our thoughts."
Rochelle, Wellington.
"Charlotte's skilful and
compassionate work helped me very quickly and effectively. I am
still feeling the benefits of my work with her and using the skills she
taught me several months later, and will well into the future."
Bruce Armstrong.
"My issues were so well covered I've
almost forgotten why I had to go in the first place! I found
every aspect of dealing with Charlotte easy and comfortable, and the
sessions completely surpassed my expectations. The whole process
was positive and empowering. Thank you so much."
RB, Wellington.
"Charlotte has helped me experience
growth and empowerment to a level I didn't expect. My business
and personal relationships have blossomed and my outlook on the future
is more positive than I could ever have imagined."
Craig Maguire, Advertising Consultant.
"I was sceptical at first, and after
only one session I really noticed a difference. To summarise - my
whole experience was eye-opening and empowering and an incredible
tool for helping you identify issues and undo unhealthy learnings so
you can move forward."
Anon, Wellington.
"Charlotte is a creative and
resourceful NLP practitioner. She is wonderful to work with and has
helped me to create some amazing changes in my professional and
personal life."
A. McLoughlin, Auckland.
"Charlotte is great fun. Her relaxed
and confident approach to integrating the important things in my life
has helped me easily make big changes - and laugh about it".
Janet Owen, Wellington.
"I've got a bone to pick with you
Charlotte! I tried really hard this morning to get my hayfever back and
I couldn't do it!"
Jacquey, Life Coach, Wellington.
"Charlotte was so lovely, she encourages you all the
way in each session and makes you believe in yourself."
Lorraine, Wellington.
"My time with Charlotte has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. She is a masterful practitioner and gave me tools to access aspects of my behavioural patterns which helped transform my relationship to living with a chronic illness, my relationship with my self, and my worth and value in society. NLP processes are the most powerful, easiest and most gentle I have come across. I will be eternally grateful to Charlotte for her commitment and dedication to having people be the best they can be. I am humbled."
Robbie Johnston, Wellington.
