If you're exhausted from searching for solutions that never quite take shape in your life, you're not failing… your nervous system is responding to programs written long ago, created to keep you safe. This is not another closed door; this is a great sign of resilience and demonstrates how much more you can create for yourself! Hypnotherapy is a gentle modality that works at the level where those programs live: the subconscious mind, the body, and the autonomic processes that run beneath conscious awareness. It's the same modality athletes use to sharpen performance, birthing people use to move through pain with presence, and artists use to access creative flow states that the rational mind can't even explain. Real change doesn't happen by trying harder; it happens when the deeper layers of the mind are invited to reorganize. As a trauma-informed somatic hypnotherapist and counsellor in training, I recognize that healing isn't about “willpower” or finding the perfect system. It's about shifting the perception underneath the pattern. In working together well use a blend of Hypnotherapy, Holistic Coaching Principles, Counselling/Coaching and somatic resourcing, with your needs as the guide. All designed to make change gradual, sustainable yet also within reach! The aim isn’t perfection; it’s steady freedom: waking up clearer, moving through days with more ease, and achieving the goals you actually want. Led by you, we will use: Use trauma-informed practices to settle the nervous system, so your choices come from clarity rather than survival. gently loosen the grip of old beliefs and inner rules that have quietly been running the show; strengthen inner agency so that when setbacks arise, recovery feels less like a battle and more like a return home. If this feels right for you, together we can map a path that fits your life, whether that’s an intensive 1:1 program, a self-paced course, or a combo of both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6135115a4cbec501a5e0ddb5/a75b37bf-770f-40b4-8175-879f3d3d7bd3/2.png Home - What it’s like to work with me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6135115a4cbec501a5e0ddb5/dd09b1eb-7cd5-4794-9656-808adfb5235c/3.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6135115a4cbec501a5e0ddb5/cb386c55-504b-444c-9b2e-44ffff41ffbd/1.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6135115a4cbec501a5e0ddb5/f09effb7-6788-40f7-8bfa-18224b560ec3/4.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.hypnocoachariel.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-12-17 https://www.hypnocoachariel.com/about-1-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg My Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6135115a4cbec501a5e0ddb5/1631741664036-C3H0AQUF11K2C7MBWNQF/Ariel+Kew-Ladret My Story - Thank you for being here. I'm Ariel, and it's lovely to meet you. My work integrates hypnotherapy, somatic regulation, counselling, Holy Fire Reiki energy work, and IFS-informed parts work, all oriented toward the underlying patterns that shape our lives. The intention is to support steady, sustainable change over time. My Mission The heart of this work is a journey back to your own innate calm and agency, guided through the nervous system and the subconscious mind. As the body settles, energy comes into balance, and deeper signals are heard, clarity begins to replace old survival responses. What follows is steadier choices, less reactivity, and meaningful forward movement. My Story For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to one question: how do we come back to ourselves? Before becoming a practitioner, I worked as a storyteller, on stage, in TV and film, and internationally in fashion. I was drawn to the aliveness of collaborative work that invited presence, embodiment, and connection. For many years, performing felt like home. Then, after nearly fifteen years, I hit a wall: debilitating performance anxiety. I knew my material inside and out, yet every time I moved toward the lights, my body froze. A friend suggested hypnosis, something that had helped a friend of a friend, as these things often go. Deeply skeptical but increasingly desperate, I gave it a try. The shift was quiet, but profound. Working beneath the conscious mind helped uncover the root of the anxiety. For the first time, I felt clear onstage, and, more surprisingly, clearer in my life. That experience became a turning point. What began as relief grew into curiosity, and eventually into a calling. I trained in hypnotherapy and studied counselling, somatic approaches, and parts-based work, and I continue learning from teachers who deepen and challenge my practice. Today, I'm committed to trauma-informed, nervous-system-led work that meets people where they are and supports a gentle return to clarity, presence, and a deeper sense of self. My Roots: Belonging, Resilience, and Healing We all come from somewhere, and each of us carries a history, whether known, felt, or still unfolding. Learning about my own lineage (Métis & Settler) has shaped how I practice, grounding my work in relationship to self, to others, and to the land. At the same time, I believe healing isn't limited by where we come from. We can all draw on the strength, care, wisdom, and resilience of those who came before us, and integrate these qualities as we learn and grow. Nervous system healing is both personal and collective, and supporting a sense of belonging, connection, and possibility for everyone is at the heart of my work. How I Work Nervous-system regulation. Practical somatic tools you can use anytime to downshift and come back online. Hypnotherapy and recordings, if desired. Working with the subconscious to help create new defaults, calmer evenings, steadier decisions, healthier habits. Holy Fire Reiki energy support, if desired. Gentle energy balancing that supports nervous-system regulation, the release of stuck patterns, and deeper integration between mind and body. Parts-work (IFS-informed). Dialogue with the protective parts of you, so you can lead from a wise, compassionate center. Strategy that sticks. Short daily practices, audio tools, and real-world planning, so that change shows up in your calendar and your life, not just in the session. Trauma-informed, culturally attuned care. Safety, consent, and deep respect for your story and your identity. Who I Work With People rebuilding after relationship, family, or major life shifts Creatives and performers who need steady presence under pressure Folks navigating compulsive patterns, alcohol, dieting, overworking, who want sustainable change, not a willpower war People who want practical, nervous-system-first tools to feel calmer, clearer, and more capable Credentials and Offerings Orca Institute, Registered Therapeutic Counselling (RTC) Embody Lab, Somatic Trauma Therapy Certification The Grace Method®, 250+ hour certification (Grace Smith, CHt) Accredited by the International Association of Counsellors & Therapists Holy Fire Reiki, Certified Practitioner Creator of Intentional Actor, a hypnotherapy-based mindset program and app for performers Ongoing studies with Embody Lab and Compassionate Inquiry through Gabor Maté, along with Melissa Tiers, Alan Cohen, and other mentors in trauma-informed and somatic modalities A Note on Safety and Roots Healing isn't linear.
