From Branding to Healing — A Journey I Never Planned ✨✨
Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys in life begin unexpectedly.
My journey into Clinical Hypnotherapy started quite by chance.
Back in 2018, while attending a Marketing Seminar, I came across the subject of hypnotherapy. I became curious and wanted to understand what it was truly about. Perhaps, like many people, I had once carried the misconception that hypnosis was something mystical or mysterious.
But the more I discovered, the more fascinated I became.
The idea of becoming a Hypnotherapist intrigued me deeply.
At that time, I was still fully immersed in my corporate career as a branding professional. I decided to enrol in a part-time Clinical Hypnotherapy programme at LCCH while continuing to build my corporate career.
It was not easy juggling a demanding career, classes, assignments and examinations. But somehow, I persevered.
In January 2021, I received my certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. Yet, I continued in my corporate career.
Life eventually brought me to a crossroads.
After many years in the corporate world, I made the decision to leave my corporate career and embark on a completely new chapter.
In 2024, I took the leap and began my journey as a full-time Clinical Hypnotherapist.
The transition from the corporate world into the world of therapy was a significant one.
During the first two years of my practice, I continued to learn, grow and expand my therapeutic skills. I incorporated EMDR into my work and had the privilege of supporting people through different life experiences, including trauma, anxiety, emotional distress and painful chapters of their past.
I also offer Inner Child Healing to work through unresolved childhood wounds and emotional patterns.
Every client and every case has taught me something.
The more I worked with people, the more I understood that healing is deeply personal. There is no single path, and every person carries a unique story.
Along the way, my curiosity about different dimensions of wellbeing also led me to explore other modalities, including Reiki, Colour Therapy and Ecstatic Dance.
Each modality has given me a different perspective on the connection between the mind, emotions, body, energy and self-expression.
And this year, I felt another calling.
A calling to explore Sound Healing.
I felt drawn to grow my practice in a more holistic and spiritual direction. I wanted to explore how sound, vibration and resonance could create a space for deep relaxation, inner stillness and emotional release.
For me, Sound Healing is not about replacing the therapeutic work I have been doing. It is about allowing my practice to evolve and expand, integrating different approaches that may support a person's journey towards greater balance and wellbeing.
From this evolving and transformative journey of corporate marketing to diverse healing arts — I realise that every chapter has brought me closer to where I am today.
Looking back, I sometimes wonder if discovering hypnotherapy in 2018 was really just a coincidence.
Perhaps some journeys begin long before we realise we are on them.
Perhaps the things we encounter "by chance" are sometimes gentle invitations to discover a part of ourselves we never knew existed.
I don't know where this journey will take me next.
But I know I am grateful for every chapter.
And I am excited for the one that is unfolding now. ✨
