Bayside Healthy Living

Sugar cravings just melted away! But now I keep seeing her because I come out feeling so energised and positive.

I was introduced to Amanda through a friend. I knew from the outset that Amanda was going to be able to help me. She is a highly skilled professional and this is matched by her caring and personable nature. Amanda helps you to feel safe, comfortable and confident that you'll be able to achieve what you want. Highly recommend.

An amazing professional with years of experience. Totally dedicated to her clients and an outstanding supervisor for other hypnotherapists. Her care and compassion to others and wealth of knowledge is beyond words. Amanda has gone out of her way to help me grow as a clinical hypnotherapist. Can't thank you enough!

I saw Amanda over a year ago. It was such a great investment. She is a very caring person who showed genuine interest in my welfare.Amanda was able to tailor/design the hypnosis sessions based on my individual personal circumstances. I didn’t feel as though I was being fed a generic spiel - quite the opposite. It also didn’t feel as though Amanda was “working”. It felt more like talking with a friend. Also the house and room were so inviting, cosy and intimate. Most importantly I haven’t felt like a cigarette for all of the 13 months since, in fact the thought of it makes me feel sick. This is the best news of all as I feel my health going from strength to strength.Thank you so much Amanda for truly caring.

My tipping point for seeing Amanda was getting into an argument with a call centre operator about trying to get out of my gym membership - funny now, but at the time I was in a rage about it! She has been such a lifeline..... Her program has helped me get back on track with exercise, diet, alcohol and generally learning how to be kinder to myself. I was also holding onto grief that has been dragging me down for years, Amanda has assisted me in letting that go and moving forward in a much more positive mindset. She is an amazing person.

After 25 years of smoking I am now free from the addiction. Amanda is a amazing person and a fantastic therapist, I highly recommend her. Thank you Amanda.

Amanda is an amazing and outstanding practitioner ! I sought Amanda's help for weight loss and sleep issues, and yes we dealt with these things but also so much more. My general well being is now more balanced and healthy, we addressed issues that I didn't know were effecting me. Amanda has a wonderful presence where you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. It was so easy to open up and get to the bottom of things that weren't obvious, and then from there found the right paths to address my conscious issues.Hypnotherapy can be very powerful and Amanda is a true professional and excellent at her craft.

I was able to successfully quit smoking after numerous failed attempts. Thank you Amanda at Bayside Healthy Living for your professionalism and support through the Hypnotherapy Sessions. 3 years on and I haven't once thought about lighting up. Would highly recommend!

Amanda cured me of my lifelong fear of spiders. I am very grateful!

I went to see Amanda in 2016 with a goal to lose weight. Amanda has this innate ability to sit beside you without judgement and walk you along the path to your goal. She is warm, caring, funny and can make light work of whatever it is you are struggling with. Me, yep I lost 9 kilos after struggling for ages to lose just 5. In working with Amanda I discovered that I was reaching for the sweet treats and alcoholic drinks to feel better however they were not making me feel better at all. Amanda helped me see all the things that truly make me feel better like walking in nature and being creative and now I try to always reach for those things instead of the sugar and alcohol. I have no doubt that whatever it is that you need support with, whatever goal you have but feel is just out of reach or whatever it is you have tried to do over and over again without success, Amanda can help get you there.

As a cancer support nurse in a small organisation, it is critical for me to be able to manage my own well-being, in order to balance the emotional demands of my role and the impact that this type of work can have personally. Amanda has the unique blend of experience and skills to understand and address these issues, helping me identify what I need to do to make sure I stay emotionally fresh and present for my patients, and maintaining my own equilibrium.

From the very first visit, Amanda makes you feel welcome, heard and validated. Her ability to listen and provide authentic, positive responses to your concerns creates an environment that leaves you believing that anything is possible. Truly, a health practitioner that goes above and beyond for her clients.

I saw Amanda one year ago to quit smoking and I am still smoke free! I was apprehensive to begin with, as I had many failed attempts to quit smoking. Amanda made the process to easy and relaxed and I have not touched a cigarette since! I highly recommend Amanda!

I had spent my life going on diets. I was successful only when I put my mind to it. Most of the time I would sabotage my diet by drinking or eating something that was 'naughty'. If I had a goal, I would get close, but never make it to the end (except when I got married).I knew it was all in my mind set, I thought about hypnotherapy for years, but was afraid it might bring up some ugly past stuff, which I didn't want to face. So I kept putting it off and didn't know where to go and who to trust.I was talking about it with a friend and she recommended Amanda Hordern as she was qualified. So I organised a visit. I was scared about going, but told myself, "What's the worst thing that could happen? - I have a very expensive sleep".After the very first visit, I had to go to a Christmas work function. (Normally I would drink alcohol all night and make a fool out of myself). Well I shocked myself, I had only one glass of champagne and the rest of the night I drank water. I still danced all night and still had fun and still talked to everyone with no problems, no dependency on a champagne! Since that first session, 15th December 2015, I have only ever had one hot chocolate (this was my major downfall, as I always had to have one after every exercise session - basically every day).I lost the 12 kilos and it stayed off for years. I did it effortlessly! Without even thinking. I wanted to drink lots of water, I wanted and enjoyed my gym and swimming sessions everyday. I enjoyed walking with my husband. Those things were no longer a chore but a pleasure. In fact, I still like doing all those things. I look in the mirror and actually like myself the way I am.I knew it worked, but I also know my mind needs 'tweaking' every now and then. So I will be back!

When meeting Amanda I was instantly instilled with a sense of certainty that I was in the right place to quit smoking. Her therapy room has wonderful energy where I felt relaxed and calm. The whole process was very professional and it was very easy to open up which made it easy for Amanda to work out the best way to approach my personal issues with the NLP process. Not only did I quit smoking but I was also able to remove some very ingrained patterns which have stopped me developing mentally and spiritually. I would highly recommend Amanda from Bayside Healthy Living. You are in safe, competent hands.

After many years of counselling to deal with childhood trauma, I decided to explore hypnotherapy, with Amanda Hordern. Amanda has a beautiful way of adapting her style to match my needs, and putting me at ease. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone, I trusted her compassionate way of helping me move forward with confidence and hope. Amanda took me on a journey to find a healing place for my child self. This has given me inner strength, a new perspective and the capacity to set goals for myself and achieve them all, and more. I’m not exactly sure how it all worked but I do know this has helped transform my life for the better. Thanks so much Amanda.

I saw Amanda regarding a fear of flying. She was truly amazing. I can now catch planes without stress and worry. Cannot recommend Amanda enough.
