About Us
The word Satori originates from Japanese Zen Buddhism and carries various meanings such as enlightenment, sudden insight, to awaken to, to comprehend.
We work as Clinical Hypnotherapists and Life Purpose Coaches, providing Therapy, Coaching, Mentoring and Education to Individuals, Individuals funded by the NDIS, Couples, Groups, and Businesses / Sports Teams to enhance and promote mental health and wellbeing.
The word Satori captures the intention of our work, which is to encourage everyone to engage in a process of self-discovery, raising their self- awareness that they are more than their perceived beliefs.
Our mission
“To help people make positive life changes that improve their mental health and well-being, allowing them to live a more purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life.
Assist individuals to become aware of their unique talents, qualities, and strengths, gather confidence and faith in their abilities to live a happier, content life while being a vital, supportive, contributing member to society.
We believe that every person can perform better, have a richer life experience by living a more rewarding existence when the following aspects are aligned: Personal Values and Beliefs, Capabilities are recognised, Purpose is clarified, and the importance of change and environmental settings are better understood.”
As a result, you can expect being more present, self-aware, and at ease. Being present equates to becoming more mindful and staying in this space for longer periods of time, recognising the needs of self and others.
It is a start to gain easier access to important inner resources and qualities. These newly discovered insights promote optimism, gratitude, and a greater appreciation of what is.
Becoming more open allows you to living life more fully and with a deeper sense of satisfaction, meaning and purpose in everyday living.
