Natural State Hypnosis

Angela Vincent is the Director and Clinical Hypnotherapist and has a background in Oncology Nursing. Angela or Ange, as she is better known as to her clients, is based in the New Town Health Centre in Tasmania although her clients extend worldwide!

Ange has a strong focus on Mindfulness-based clinical hypnotherapy encompassing her understanding of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and her goals are to ensure any new skills or learnings that are provided to you as her client will be included in the hypnosis component of your hypnotherapy sessions.

Hypnosis or Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) is being recognised once again for its therapeutic effects thanks to Stanford University’s Neuroscience findings under f-MRI and the work of Dr David Spiegel – Psychiatrist and Hypnotherapist. Clinical Hypnotherapy is consistently providing an improved quality of life in clients seeking hypnosis for chronic pain, paediatric pain, hypnobirthing, anxiety, fears and phobia’s, gut-directed hypnotherapy and insomnia, just to name a few.

The evidence-based research is continuing to build the validity of the outcomes that Ange and her Natural State Hypnosis practice have witnessed over the years!

Medically-attuned Hypnotherapy is a framework that references the current physical and mechanical issues that contribute to the difficulties of the client. Ange understands the complexities of the medications, surgeries, immunotherapies and the restrictions that alter her client’s lives. In fact these difficulties can be applied to all health conditions which cause you to restrict your life so during your initial clinical hypnotherapy session you can expect to be asked about many aspects of your life including the physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of your wellbeing.

It was during Ange’s time as a cancer nurse coordinator that she saw first hand the benefits of Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy in the care of patients suffering from the mechanical, emotional and social complexities that IBS, Crohns and Ulcerative colitis conditions have on the quality of life of these people. Working with a gastrointestinal team embracing the evidence-based therapy of Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy was enlightening and the empowering results were so very impactful for these people and Ange will work closely with you to help you gain relief in your mind and body connection.

Ange is trained in the Hypnosis weight loss program ~ Sheila Granger’s Virtual Gastric Band program and is an advocate for supporting clients on either side of gastric surgery. Having experience in the post-gastric surgery complexities as a nurse, you will find your Hypnosis session will be supportive, constructive and empowering. Ange works with you to regain your personal relationship with your Body and support your mind and gut connection to build towards Leaner and Stronger with Natural State Hypnosis.

Quit Smoking and vaping with Hypnosis is an important and rewarding aspect of Natural State Hypnosis’ mission. The sense of self worth that clients receive is like no other. However, the role of Ange Vincent as the Hypnotherapist, is to help you recognise how valued you are and how missed you would be if the smoking caused a life limiting disease. By working together, you will have Ange as your Quit Smoking advocate and she will be as invested as you are!

About Ange:
Ange Vincent is a Mum of 2 boys and trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy in Melbourne in 2010-2011 while working with Adolescents and young adults cancer patients at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and then working with Gastrointestinal cancer patients. Ange and her husband returned to their home state of Tasmania with their toddler in 2012 and went on to Hypnobirth their second Son in 2014. To this day, Ange’s husband is the biggest advocate for Hypnobirting she knows! And to be fair, it was an extraordinary birthing experience. Having belief in One’s own birthing capacity changed everything as well as releasing any fear of the sensations otherwise known as pain were life changing. This event was really the synchronous birth of Natural State Hypnosis having a new respect for the power of Hypnosis!

It was insomnia that introduced Ange to the possibilities of Hypnosis with Ange attending a Hypnosis session two years into her Nursing career after a spell of night shift tipped the scales of night and day and sleep and insomnia. Ange will tell you that she was hesitant about the whole thing but was invested, it had to work!

Ange was exhausted and had tried everything – something that every Hypnotherapist hears on a daily basis. We can validate that we rarely see a client that isn’t at their wits end with their presenting condition! Unless of course, they’ve had Hypnosis before and then when you know… you know!

Hypnosis helped Ange’s eczema by helping her become more aware of her unconscious scratching and giving her a sense of control in the management of lifelong condition and as a client of her’s you can expect to receive oodles of empathy above all else. Eczema; like all autoimmune conditions hurt, they fatigue your body and your mind and cause your Spirit to lose its spark over time and that’s where Ange meets you. Clients often say they feel heard and seen in their working relationship with Ange ‘The Practitioner’.

Chocolate was the significant unwanted habit Ange needed to break up with. Having a Mum who had worked at Cadbury’s for 37 of Ange’s growing years was a blessing and a curse. So much yummy chocolate, drinking chocolate, 5kg boxes or hazelnut whirls (once again, if you know.. You know) packets of 5x blocks of chocolates, boxes of whips, picnics, chomps, curly whirlys, peppermint rolls, freddos, furry friends, caramello bears and the occasional jube! There are my five food groups right there but even Chocolate Heaven can have its dark side. It played right into my eczema trauma and wasn’t particularly helpful at keeping my mind on the job at hand. So I cut it out. The absolute proof that it worked was the next time I bought Petrol, unusually that would involve – getting petrol, select chocolate bar, pay and drive off having eaten the bar by the next set of lights. However, on this day, I got petrol, paid and drove off. It wasn’t until I stopped at the lights that I realised I didn’t have a chocolate bar or empty wrapper. Ha!

You’ll take a few deep breaths and let Ange lead you through your hypnosis experience. Yes, if you are open to the experience, you will indeed be hypnotised and No, it’s not what you see on TV. It is, however, the equivalent to a 4 hour sleep cycle so come on down and book your spot today!
