Hypnosis for a weight loss mindset
One of the last things I did in December, before breaking up for the holidays, was to attend an interview with the Editor of Diabetes NZ Magazine. The article, due for publication in March 2025, will talk about how I use hypnosis to help people with diabetes to stick to the diet plan from their Dietician, and stick to the health advice from their Doctor, plus a few other things too. (You'll have to read the article to find out what those other things are!) I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print (again), and can't wait to see it in March. I will of course post a link here when it's published
Meanwhile...
You don't have to be diabetic to benefit from hypnosis to maintain your healthy, weight-loss mindset. Maybe you have another health condition that would improve with weight loss, or maybe you just WANT to lose weight by choice?
I live in Upper Hutt, from where I see hypnosis clients online from all over NZ and overseas, too. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have, or call me on ++64 211532508 when you're ready to start your hypnosis weight loss journey
Here's to your journey

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
At just 8 years old, Nina-Mae already has Wellington Council listening! 👏
She’s speaking up for safer roads for her and her classmates—fuelled by a desire for independence and maybe even a budding interest in politics.
So here’s the big question: how do we create space for every voice in our community to be heard?
It’s great that the Council is paying attention 👂 but what small actions can we all take to keep our whole community involved and engaged?
