Hello to You
For 34 years I have helped people navigate change, from chronic pain and sleep difficulties to confidence, habit change, performance and personal growth.
These days I divide my time between writing, creating audio programmes and working privately with a small number of clients.
Whether you are here for a guided meditation, a bespoke recording or a confidential conversation, you are most welcome.
Barbara thinks writing and talking about herself in the 3rd person is silly. She is not playing and will talk to you directly.

What Would You Like to Know?
Q: Who is Barbara Ford-Hammond?
A: I am a hypnotherapist, muse and crone with over 34 years of professional experience. I have helped people across a wide range of challenges, from sleep and pain management to confidence, habit change and emotional wellbeing.
All of my audio programmes, Mind Loops and guided meditations are created from my experience and hands-on knowledge.
༻ ༺
Q: How do you combine the clinical with the esoteric?
A: Carefully, ethically, with both feet and wheels on the ground.
My clinical work is rooted in training, experience and practical therapeutic tools. The esoteric side brings in symbolism, intuition, story, ritual and meaning. I see them as companions rather than opposites.
Short answer: With style, substance and a little panache.
༻ ༺
Q: Can you magically improve my golf?
A: Yes I can. Except you do the work.
༻ ༺
Q: Are you really a Muse?
A: Yes, this has become my title over the years as my way of working does not fit a specific box designed by someone else.

Product Questions
How do I access my purchase?
All products are digital downloads. After payment the page will refresh with your order instantly available plus you will receive an email with a link to download your files. Audio tracks are MP3 files and will play on any phone, tablet or computer. PDF documents can be printed or read on screen.
Do I need any special equipment?
No special equipment is needed. For the best experience with audio tracks, headphones are not necessary (personal preference) but they are recommended for binaural wave technology that requires a different sound in each ear.
How often should I listen?
Every product works at its own pace and there is no strict rule. For hypnotic meditations, regular listening especially in the first few weeks tends to produce the best results. For Mind Loops, even a single session immediately before a challenging moment can make a noticeable difference. Listen to what feels right.
Are the products suitable for everyone?
The audio products are designed for general wellbeing and personal development.
They are not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. If you are currently under the care of a doctor or mental health professional, please check with them before using hypnotic or deep relaxation audios. The products are not suitable for use while driving or operating machinery.

The gifts on the Lovely Free Stuff page are a no-commitment way to get a feel for my approach before purchasing.
If you need guidance on anything please get in touch.
When to Seek Help Elsewhere
Are these products a substitute for professional help?
No. My products are tools for personal development and general wellbeing. They are not clinical interventions and should not be used in place of professional medical or mental health support.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, thoughts of self-harm, severe depression or any medical emergency, please contact your GP, a mental health professional or the relevant emergency services without delay.
What if I am in crisis right now?
Please reach out to a professional immediately. In the UK you can contact:
Samaritans: 116 123 (free, available 24 hours a day)
Your GP surgery or NHS 111
Your nearest Accident and Emergency department
These audio products are not crisis support tools and are not monitored.
In other countries please contact your primary provider or carer.
Personal and Bespoke Work
Do you accept private medical referrals?
Yes. It is up to you to seek reimbursement from your health insurance company so please check before your medical professional refers you. If I have availability I will supply you with the necessary letters and your paid receipt.
