According to hypnotherapist Sonia Samtani, deep emotional healing begins with a journey into your subconscious. Here’s how she can take you there

A registered hypnotherapist and founder of Hong Kong’s All About You wellness clinic, Sonia Samtani has spent the past 15 years helping patients work through crippling phobias, substance abuse, eating disorders and other personal traumas or blocks. “People only change when staying the same is too painful,” she says. “That’s when we begin to look inwards.”

By using hypnotherapy to tap into her clients’ subconscious, Samtani works with them to provide a safe space where they can access and address defining moments in their life that have led to long-term behavioural patterns or distress. Many people see hypnosis as a form of entertainment, but it can be a life-changing therapy, one with practical applications when you look at the underlying principles of seeking out the roots of our behaviour.
