Public Speaking
"I approached Dagi after seeing an article she wrote in a local health magazine about the benefits of hypnotherapy. I had been under lots of pressure and stress at work for a long period of time and about three years ago I started with low levels of anxiety which culminated in a major panic attack while I was giving a presentation at a formal Council meeting. In my professional capacity I have been lecturing and giving presentations for more than 20 years, so it was not giving the presentation that I found frightening - so I thought I was having a heart attack. I think the panic attack was the culmination of stress over the years that happened to peak on that particular day. However the result has been that I became terrified of public speaking, not because of the fear of speaking before others, but rather I became afraid of having another panic attack while in front of a group of people.
The one-on-one session with Dagi was very powerful in terms of just reconnecting me with the more peaceful parts of myself and getting re-in touch with the feeling of being 'Ok', of being good enough' etc - the effect was an immediate reduction in my stress levels and anxiety. Dagi provided me with a CD so I could work with a set of agreed affirmations, on a daily basis in my own time, to build on the progress I made in the one-on-one session. Dagi is a great person to work with and I felt very at ease in her company. The results have been impressive and have resulted in me being able to make a number of positive changes in other areas of my life. I continue to make progress each day." David, Auckland
Medical Case
A young male client came to see me as he used to throw up during high performance races. Prior to his visit he saw a Gastro Specialist who confirmed that there was nothing medically/physically wrong with his abdominal area. After seeing me twice the following e-mail was sent to me:”...The next day he came out and ran a person best in the 400m relay (over a second quicker than he has done before). In both races he was only mildly sick..... He had a real break through run last night he did not throw up.
This is 3.5sec quicker than he ran 2 ½ years ago,.... On Saturday he also ran a personal best 400m. He is really happy ,thanks for all your help in giving him the tools, his confidence has really gone up. (A concerned Dad, Auckland 2011)
Sleepless Child
Our son has had what I would call tortured sleep for probably about five years. It would ease from time to time but never for very long. He is now 8 years old and was still struggling with night terrors. He would wake between about midnight and 4 am with terrible dreams.
I mentioned this to Dagi and she came up with a wonderful solution" Dream" medicine.
He has been following the instructions for two weeks now and all is well.
So thank-you Dagi for your innovative idea it has certainly brought some much needed peace to a busy family. Kate, Auckland
Fast and Effective
I have been to many therapists and different treatments over the years. Some worked, others achieved very little. When I met Dagi I really liked her straight up attitude and her way of conducting the session. I only went to Dagi a few times before she said she felt I did not need any more sessions and she would be taking my money unnecessarily. I was a bit taken back but she was right and I really admire her honesty and integrity.
I have been sticking to my homework and still feeling the positive results.
Thank you Dagi, you are a gem.

Stress
In need of getting my out of control stress levels under control, I sort Dagi's hypnotherapy services. After three sessions with Dagi, I feel much calmer and better equipped to center myself in stressful situations. I would highly recommend Dagi as she is professional and supportive while providing a comfortable and safe environment for her clients. Michelle, Auckland
Reading difficulty When our son started school for the first few years he struggled with reading and writing, the teachers couldn’t work out why but new there was a problem. To cut a long story short he was diagnosed with Irlens syndrome, which means when he looked at a page with writing there was lots of movement, which caused him motion sickness and he struggled to read and write. Finally it was corrected with tinted reading glasses. Sadly by that time he was behind and had lost confidence in himself. We found Dagi at Mind Matters Hypnotherapy and within the first 10 minutes of being with Dagi we felt confident and relaxed. After the first season I knew we had finally found something that was going to work for our son and I was right, Dagi has made a real difference in his life. Her method is simple and easy to implement into our daily lives and our son has responded positively. Since going to Mind Matters our son has passed not one but three spelling tests with 25 out of 25 which he has never been able to do so in the past mostly because he had no confidence. We are very grateful to Dagi as this has given us great hope at a time when we were not sure what to do next. Sandra, Auckland
Confident and Happy
I always knew that there was a better life waiting for me and over the years I have done many things trying to figure out what was stopping me from being the real me, the 'authentic me'. After I had attended Dagi’s introduction seminar on hypnotherapy I realized that it was in fact myself that was stopping me from being my authentic self. ... I have had 3 sessions with Dagi and I am now well on the road living my life the way it is meant to be lived. It is with confidence and enthusiasm that I am waking and making decisions everyday. It might not sound like much but it is amazing and freeing to make decisions everyday knowing they are the right ones for me and I say those words loud and proud. Thank you for helping me find that inner-child that was scared and nervous and aiding me to transform her. Thank you. Sara,Northshore.
Nailbiting
I went to see Dagi for a number of issues, one of them being nail biting. I had been biting my nails for about 30 odd years. I would grow them then bite them again. I tried acrylic and gel nails which were great when I had them on but expensive to upkeep and once they were off, you guessed it, back to biting them again.
I am very pleased to report that after only one session with Dagi my nails are lovely and long and I don't even have the urge to bite them anymore. I can't wait for Dagi to sort out my other issues.

Sporting Success
I came to see Dagi to improve my golf handicap. I did not know what to expect and she took me on an amazing journey of possibilities. After one session with her I played my best round ever by far, applying the tools she has taught me. I had one more session and now I continuously improve my scorecard. I finally have conquered the six inches between my ears. Peter, Auckland
Anger Issues
I've been feeling incredibly different since our session, and have been using imagery lots. It's very interesting to me that my body seems to tense but I'm just breathing through it and saying out loud my affirmation...... This seems to be having a huge impact and working very well. I cannot thank you enough for your knowledge and passion with helping me through these times!!!
