Hypnotherapist & More.
I’m Lorraine, founder of Subliminal State Therapy. An ex-finance-tax accountant-SAHM-birth doula turned Hypnotherapist.
I’m tired of watching people spend years and thousands of dollars learning to live with recurring painful situations that may not need years to change. Stuck. Coping. Understanding themselves better yet still repeating the same patterns, passing them into the next generation.
I know because I have lived through it.
So I created Subliminal State Therapy: a method designed to find the subconscious experience keeping a pattern alive, resolve what was formed there, and let change happen without years spent fighting yourself.
I didn’t come to this work fascinated by healing from a distance. I lived inside the patterns I now help women resolve.
SST was born from understanding that insight isn’t resolution. You can know your patterns and still live from them.
My work is for the woman who’s already thought about it, talked about it, journaled about it and still reacts.
Its not about will power. You are not broken. You are subconsciously patterned.
I cross before I ask anyone to cross with me. That’s part of what grounds this work. The rest is training: Clinical Hypnotherapist, Master Hypnotist, and Regression Specialist through the Hypnotherapy Training Institute, with further training in trauma neurobiology. Certified birth doula. 200-hour yoga teacher, Kundalini specialisation.
Method
SST isn’t one modality borrowed from somewhere else. It’s hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, somatic release, and subconscious patterning, integrated into one structured approach — not techniques switched between depending on the day. Parts therapy is used where appropriate.
My role isn’t diagnostic, and I never tell you who to become. I help you see how you tied a meaning to the moment a pattern first formed — then we resolve that meaning together.
The cause of your current day issue is as unique as you are. We trace the point of origin in hypnosis. You stay aware and self-led throughout, and once a belief has actually shifted, you won’t need to come back for it again. Most of my clients move through what’s appeared, then move on to whatever’s next.
The subconscious speaks to us in symbols and imagery. We become aware of what needs to be realised and resolved in order to move past the pain.
It isn’t only about clearing what’s in the way. I help install the felt experience of what you’re moving toward too — making real what was already yours to have. Most real change starts in the mind before it shows up in your life.
I don’t separate the psychological work from the spiritual work. They’re the same event, at two depths.
You are who you are waiting for.

Thinkers my work is based on
Formal training lineage
Catharsis in Regression Hypnotherapy — Randal Churchill Churchill founded the Hypnotherapy Training Institute — the actual training lineage behind the Clinical Hypnotherapist, Master Hypnotist, and Regression Specialist credentials. The book argues against the common instinct in regression therapy to avoid or manage around strong emotion, and instead treats working through intense emotional release, when it arises, as an opening for deeper and more complete change. This is close to direct source material for how SST works with the body in session.
Expand for my booklist!
The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk The foundational case that trauma is held in the body and nervous system, not just narrated in the mind — the clinical backbone for why talk alone has a ceiling, and why SST works to reach the nervous system directly.
Healing the Shame That Binds You — John Bradshaw The anatomy of toxic shame: how it moves from “I made a mistake” to “I am a mistake,” and how it travels through families rather than staying with one person.
Homecoming — John Bradshaw Reclaiming and reparenting the inner child at each developmental stage — the direct source of the baby-self and toddler-self inner-child work already used in session.
The Emotionally Immature Parent — Lindsay Gibson How children adapt to emotionally unavailable parents — over-functioning, role reversal, hyper-attunement to a parent’s moods. Close to the clinical backbone of the hyper-responsible woman pattern.
Arousal: The Secret Logic of Sexual Fantasies — Michael Bader Desire and sexual fantasy as psychologically protective rather than simply behavioural — useful for working with desire-suppression and sexual shame as defended terrain, not dysfunction to correct.
