After a long career in psychology, Bundaberg’s wife Gina Hansen opened her own business in the region called Nurtured Minds Therapy.
Located at office 9/44 Princess Street, the company offers hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programs and counseling to help people overcome a variety of mental and personal health issues.
Gina said that starting her business came after she found herself increasingly frustrated with the lack of support for people who have experienced trauma in their lives.
She said that before embarking on hypnotherapy, she experienced the service on her own.
“I started having hypnotherapy myself to help with some of the emotional triggers I was experiencing while working in mental health,” she said.
“I discovered that hypnotherapy allowed me to freely process all the emotions that I had held onto throughout my life. “
Gina said there was a range of benefits to hypnotherapy.
“Hypnotherapy has the power to enable individuals to process and let go of blocked emotions,” she said.
“These emotions often lead to unhealthy coping strategies such as smoking, drinking, taking drugs and overeating.
“Hypnotherapy can also help create new neural pathways and modify existing ones to create new patterns of behavior and create new memories.
“People can create positive experiences for themselves by interrupting old patterns of thought and behavior. “
Nurtured Minds Therapy Supports Women
Gina said that as part of Nurtured Minds Therapy, she also provided a safe space for women to feel heard and accepted.
“I give women the opportunity to create a life where they can become confident and empowered,” she said.
“I am also passionate about supporting women who are currently supporting loved ones living with addictions. “
Gina said the opening of her business came at a time when people often had mental health issues.
“Christmas is not always a time of joy and happiness,” she said.
“It can be a reminder of loss and grief. It can be a very lonely time for some people or a time when they remember a trauma from childhood.
“Christmas can also be a stressful time when you are trying to juggle a thousand things and make everyone happy while sometimes sacrificing your own happiness. “
In the New Year, Gina said she will expand her services to include new programs for those who are also suffering from the mental strain of nicotine quitting, exercise and more.
“I will be offering new programs to start the new year, including a virtual gastric band and smoking cessation sessions,” she said.
“These sessions are for people who are genuinely invested in their own mental and physical health and want to start the New Year with a healthy mindset and healthy habits.”
