Welcome to my nook ~ stay, play, fly away, come on back another day 🧹

Hello. You have arrived at Barbara’s

On beautiful days, not-so-beautiful, some - all days, I can be found playing and working outside - sometimes in a regular chair, other times in my electric wheelchair.

I use the techniques I teach and share in my own life, every day. When I say a hypnotic-meditation helps with pain, I mean it helps with my pain (I have secondary pain).

I bimble and roll about in the left-brain logical, medically inclined camp and the right-brain creative, esoterica field. This means I am equally happy discussing neuroplasticity with a doctor as talking about soul retrieval with a shaman. Or, talking about Fortune 500 business strategies while writing a rhyming spell. 

We make our own magic but sometimes lose our way or fall under spells that do not work in our favour. It is not my job or desire to fix, repair, change or impose but to guide you in a co-creative way to your life of bliss.

I was injured in a workplace accident many moons ago and, after a surgeon pushed a surgical screw into my l5 nerve root, I was left with footdrop, retrolisthesis, chronic secondary pain + neuropathy 🎻  and am an ambulatory wheelchair as a result. Rather than let it define me, I rolled with it (ha).

My hypnotherapy practice expanded to specialise in pain management and stress reduction. I share techniques that I use every day.

After becoming disabled, I faced life's challenges head-on (eventually, after sulking, flouncing and doing the self-ableism work)(still working on the self-ableism, that is not pretty), using my experiences to deepen my understanding of healing and well-being.

My approach

My mission is to make well-being accessible to everyone. My approach combines practical techniques with a holistic perspective,

All of my products are designed to be used at home, in your own time, at your own pace.

Always dance to the rhythm of your own drum 💃 🧑‍🦼‍➡️ as do I, sometimes in a chair.

I created and was the original publisher of the 6th Books imprint within Collective Ink and I am now Head of Publishing at Jump & Co Publishing.

What is here

For many moons I have helped people navigate challenges ranging from chronic pain, long-term health conditions and sleep struggles to confidence, habit change, performance and personal growth. I also enjoy supporting witches with their awakenings, including those living with chronic pain or health conditions, as they discover a magical path that works with their life rather than against it. And, of course, everything in between.

Hypnosis and self-hypnosis ~ create lasting, positive change and give you tools for life ~ in the form of downloadable audio products and printables.

These also offer practical support for living with chronic pain or long-term health conditions.

Behind the scenes I draw upon over thirty four years of experience in hypnotherapy, coaching, NLP, CBT, meditation, mindfulness and stress management. I have always been a witch and have read cards since I was 10. Witch is what I am, not something I dabble with.

Everything, always, with a sprinkle of magic 🪄

Speaking and Events

I am available for talks on hypnosis, pain management, stress management, hypno-meditation, creating your best life, how to create and use spells + all related subjects.

My way of working is experiential rather than passive lecturing, although I can talk the hind legs off a donkey. Well, I would if I knew what that meant.

I am happy to work remotely or in the real world. We can chat about accessibility beforehand. Travelling and accommodation costs will include a plus one. And, always at the front of the bus 💫

Please get in touch if you have questions, suggestions or ideas - put what it is in the subject box or it falls into the spam grinder - at barb@barbaraford-hammond.com
