About Simon Baker
From racing champion to clinical hypnotherapist — discover the personal journey that led to 20+ years of transformation experience
A Journey That Started with Witnessing Transformation
My path to hypnotherapy began when I witnessed something remarkable — a family member's almost instant transformation through hypnosis. Having worked in digital media and automotive sectors, I was already fascinated by the subconscious mind, but seeing this dramatic change captured my imagination completely.
The Racing Years
Before becoming a clinical hypnotherapist, I was a competitive racing driver. I discovered the power of self-hypnosis and visualization before races — and the results spoke for themselves: 4 championships in 4 years, with multiple pole positions, race wins, and fastest laps.
Walking the Walk, Not Just Talking the Talk
I don't just teach hypnotherapy — I live it. Here's how I've used these powerful techniques in my own life:
Peak Performance
Used self-hypnosis and visualization to achieve 4 racing championships, proving the power of mental conditioning for peak performance.
Breaking Patterns
Successfully quit alcohol in June 2020 using hypnosis when I noticed a pattern I didn't like — demonstrating real-world habit change.
Ongoing Practice
Still use hypnosis regularly for cycling performance, especially when racing and needing to dig deeper or shift limiting thoughts.
From Personal Practice to Professional Mastery
After decades of personal use, I knew I wanted to help others experience the same transformations I had witnessed and lived.
The Neo Ericksonian Approach
My breakthrough came when I discovered a government-accredited course here in Australia that aligned with the Neo Ericksonian method. Milton H. Erickson revolutionised hypnotherapy by shifting from directive to permissive approaches, which changed everything.
This approach honors the client's natural wisdom and inner resources. Rather than imposing solutions, I guide you to discover your own path to transformation, making the changes feel authentic and sustainable.
This method recognizes that each person's unconscious mind already contains the resources needed for healing and growth — my role is simply to help you access them.

Why My Journey Matters to Your Transformation
I Understand Skepticism
I've been where you are — wondering if hypnosis really works, if it's safe, if it's right for you. I've used it on myself for decades to achieve goals I never thought possible. When I work with you, I'm not just teaching theory — I'm sharing what I know works because I've lived it.
Results You Can Trust
From racing championships to breaking unwanted patterns, from career transitions to ongoing performance enhancement — I've used hypnosis to create real, measurable change in my life. This isn't just my profession; it's my personal proof that transformation is possible.
