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 - My name is Ariel and it is lovely to meet you! My approach is oriented toward working with the underlying patterns that shape our lives. Integrating hypnotherapy, somatic regulation, Holy Fire Reiki energy work, and IFS-inspired parts work, 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 subconscious. As the body settles, energy balances, and deeper signals are heard, clarity replaces old survival responses—allowing for steadier choices, less reactivity, and meaningful forward movement. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the question: how do we come back to ourselves? Before becoming a practionioner, 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. And then, after nearly fifteen years, I hit a wall: debilitating performance anxiety. I knew my material inside and out, yet each time I moved toward the lights, my body froze. A friend suggested hypnosis… something that had helped a friend of a friend (classic). 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, studied counselling, somatic approaches, and parts-based work, and 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 supporting a gentle return to clarity, presence, and a deeper sense of self. My Métis 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 has shaped how I practice, grounding my work in relationship to self, to others, and to the land. At the same time, I believe that healing is not limited by where we come from. We can all draw on the highest intentions of those who came before us with strength, care, wisdom, resilience and integrate these qualities as we learn and grow. Nervous system healing is both personal and collective, and at the heart of my work is supporting a sense of belonging, connection, and possibility for everyone. How I work (what you’ll actually get) Nervous-system regulation: practical somatic tools you can use anytime to downshift and come back online. Hypnotherapy & recordings (if desired) ally the subconscious to create new defaults — calmer evenings, steadier decisions, healthier habits. Holy Fire Reiki energy support work (if desired): gentle energy balancing that supports nervous-system regulation, release of stuck patterns, and deeper integration between mind and body. Parts-work (IFS-informed): dialogue with the protective parts so you can lead from a wise, compassionate center. Strategy that sticks: short daily practices, audio tools, and real-world planning so change shows up in your calendar and your life. Trauma-informed, culturally attuned care: safety, consent, and deep respect for your story and identity. People rebuilding after relationship, family and major life shifts Creatives and performers who need steady presence under pressure Folks navigating compulsive patterns (alcohol, dieting, overworking) who want sustainable change, not willpower wars People who want practical, nervous-system-first tools to feel calmer, clearer, and more capable Credentials & offerings (brief) The Grace Method® — 250+ hour certification (Grace Smith, CHt) Accredited by the International Association of Counselors & Therapists Holy Fire Reiki — Certified Practitioner Creator, Intentional Actor — a hypnotherapy-based mindset program & app for performers Ongoing study with Gabor Maté, Melissa Tiers, Alan Cohen and other mentors in trauma-informed and somatic modalities A note on safety and roots Healing isn’t linear. It’s not about “fixing” quickly or erasing hard parts — it’s about learning how to move with them. I bring a warm, steady presence and a practical toolkit. We’ll work at a pace that honors your nervous system, your culture, and your life. Let’s start simply If you’re ready to feel calmer, gain clarity about what you want, and build habits that truly fit you—and you’d like to work with me—you’re welcome to book a consultation here.
