Why This Work Matters to Me
This is personal.
My path to FND hypnotherapy didn't begin in a classroom. It began with watching my mother suffer — and then watching her get her life back.
My mum was diagnosed with FND and lived with debilitating symptoms for a decade. Seizures, uncertainty, and a medical system that offered very few answers.
When I came across John Scanlon's work through my training with the Australian Hypnotherapy Association, something clicked. Here was a protocol built specifically for FND — with real results.
My mum began working with John. Within three months, she was largely symptom-free. Within four months without a seizure, she was cleared to drive again — a freedom she hadn't had in years.
Her journey hasn't been perfectly linear — nobody's is. But the direction of her life has permanently changed. She's back enjoying a quality of life that once felt out of reach, and she continues to see John for maintenance support as life happens around her.
That transformation is what brought me here. I believe this work is among the most powerful, compassionate approaches available for FND — and I'm committed to making it accessible in South Australia.
10 years of living with FND
My mum navigated a decade of symptoms and limited support before finding a path that actually worked.
Largely symptom-free within 3 months
After beginning the Rewiring Identity protocol, the shift was real and meaningful — beyond anything conventional treatment had offered.
Driver's licence reinstated at 4 months
After four months seizure-free, she was medically cleared to drive — an independence that had felt permanently lost.
"Her journey hasn't been perfectly linear — nobody's is. But the direction of her life has completely changed. She is back living, not just managing."
