The Age of Anxiety; Stress and Hypnotherapy

STRESS AND HYPNOTHERAPY

 

anxiety hypnotherapy, self hypnotis, antonella franchini, quay health sydney cbdSome have called this the “Age of Anxiety”. The demands that we are struggling to meet in our everyday lives are increasing alongside our levels of stress. The sources of stress are numerous and inevitable. Hypnosis is a stres management tool that can help build relaxation skills and a sense of self-control through the use of self-hypnosis techniques. Managing anxiety effectively increases concentration, self-esteem and quality of life by improving sleep patterns and overall sense of wellbeing.

 

 

Simply knowing that you have the ability to relax deeply and re-organise your thoughts, feelings and behaviours can have a profound and powerful effect.

 

Imagine the freedom of feeling this way.

 

 

Too good to be true?

Nerissa’s interest in physiotherapy began after experiencing multiple injuries growing up. Being in and out of clinics sparked her curiosity about how the body heals and inspired her to help others return to what they love.

Some of the techniques Nerissa uses are dry needling, VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo for data-driven rehab, taping, and shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon injuries.
 
She enjoys treating a broad range of patients, regardless of age, fitness, or background, and is currently expanding her expertise in women’s health.
 
Patients can expect a thorough, personalised approach focused on understanding their goals, hands-on treatment, and education in a supportive environment.
 
Outside work, you can find Nerissa training for her first full marathon, playing tennis, smiling at your dog, and trying to keep up with all her downloaded podcasts.
