Magic Results
Change how you feel. Change how you behave. Change your results.
You know exactly what you should be doing. And yet you don’t do it.
You’re an entrepreneur, a coach, or you lead a team. You make decisions that others are waiting for.
And yet there’s something you’ve been putting off for months. Perhaps even years.
You put off what really matters. You say ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’. You don’t call yourself an expert, even though you clearly are one. You keep putting off that spot on stage, that interview, that book, that discussion about your fees.
And at night, you lie in bed feeling fed up with yourself. That little voice. All that worrying.
That’s not a lack of discipline. That’s not a character flaw.
That’s a belief that crept in at some point; and which has been ‘hiding’ from you all this time, out of reach of your conscious mind.
That’s why to-do lists, books and New Year’s resolutions don’t work here. You’re trying to solve a problem on the wrong floor.
What changes after 3 sessions
I’m not promising you a miracle. I’m promising you something much more practical:
After three transformative sessions, you’ll feel different. Truly different in relation to what was holding you back. Completely different in relation to precisely what used to prevent you from breaking through.
And because that feeling changes, your behaviour changes too: you do different things, you say different things, you react differently.
That will give you a different outcome. The problem you came with will disappear. Not because you’ve fought against it, but because it has lost its purpose.
Before long, you’ll find yourself thinking: ‘Huh? What was that problem again?’
That’s the moment we’re working towards.
This is what happened to those who went before you
- Five entrepreneurs suffering from stage fright, who really didn’t dare call themselves experts, stood on a festival stage for an hour delivering an interactive talk after three private sessions with me. Three of the five secured new clients as a result.
- An entrepreneur started setting clear boundaries, said ‘no’ more often and positioned himself as the market leader; since then, he has been attracting more enjoyable and better-paying clients.
- An author has finally found the peace and quiet to finish writing her book.
- An entrepreneur gained more time for both his business and his family. At the same time.
- A professional who had been under excessive stress for a long time felt completely at peace after the first session. From that place of calm, she was able to make decisions again. After the second session, she found another job ‘by chance’. In her new senior role, she finally feels appreciated.
Why this works, and why your willpower doesn’t
Your conscious mind is brilliant at analysing. But it isn’t in control of your behaviour. That lies one level deeper: your subconscious.
And that’s where your alarm system comes in too
Deep within your subconscious lies the oldest and fastest part of your brain; often referred to as the reptilian brain. It has one task: to keep you alive. It doesn’t think, it doesn’t weigh things up, it simply scans for danger. And it’s faster than you are.
The problem: that system cannot distinguish between a predator and a camera. Between a life-threatening situation and a room full of two hundred people. Between a genuine threat and a customer you need to tell that your rates are going up.
To your reptilian brain, it’s all the same. Alarm. And then, in a flash, it chooses one of four responses, without asking you anything:
You freeze up. You put things off. You don’t send that email. You cancel. You stay exactly where you are for another year, even though deep down you know perfectly well what you need to do.
Arguing. You go on the defensive. You react more sharply than necessary, get drawn into the argument, and send that text message you’ll regret an hour later.
Running away. You run away from the problem. You avoid the conversation, change the subject, make yourself invisible. You keep yourself incredibly busy with everything except this.
Flattery. You’re trying to get in their good books. You say ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’ – to your business partner, your client, your colleague, your partner, your mother-in-law. You offer a discount you didn’t want to give. You cross your boundaries because conflict feels scarier than the consequences.
All four are survival responses. All four felt logical at the time. And all four deliver exactly the result you don’t want.
This is also why ‘just carrying on’ doesn’t work. Your willpower lies in your conscious mind; it always comes too late. The alarm has already gone off before you’ve had a chance to think.
So we shouldn’t push any harder. We need to adjust the alarm .
Think of your subconscious as a brilliant nine-year-old: it knows an astonishing amount, it protects you fiercely, and it clings to a decision that once made perfect sense, even if that decision no longer holds true today. That child decides when the alarm goes off.
However, in a state of deep relaxation – or trance – we access that subconscious part of the mind. That is where everything is stored: every experience, every pattern, every conclusion you have ever drawn and subsequently forgotten.
In the session, we’ll revisit that old decision and give it an update.
You decide whether that little door opens. Nothing happens without your consent. I guide you whilst you are completely relaxed. I also use my reading and healing techniques. That is what sets my work apart from ordinary hypnotherapy.
Which techniques do I use exactly? I get a feel for that during the session. For me, that’s the best bit. For you, there’s only one thing that matters:
It works.
Change your mindset. Change your behaviour. Change your results. In that order. Never the other way round.

And I should know
For years, everything was going swimmingly for me. Until circumstances caused me to hit a major snag. Life happens. 😉
In a nutshell: I didn’t feel appreciated. That unpleasant feeling took hold of my body. I developed intensely painful lower back problems… so bad that I could no longer turn over in bed at night.
At my lowest point, at 2.22 am, I didn’t know where to turn. I had stabbing pains in my lower back. And tears of pain were streaming down my cheeks…
That was the last straw. I had to, I would, I wanted to sort this out; otherwise, it would surely spell the end of my business! By chance, I found the solution during a webinar on hypnotherapy.
A whole new world opened up to me… Because during that one webinar by Edwin Selij, I realised that I could heal myself. So I instructed my body to heal. The feeling that I could do this myself coursed through my body; I knew it was going to happen. I stood up from my chair and heard… crack-crack! Something in my lower back had suddenly shifted and I was 75 per cent pain-free. ‘Wow,’ I thought, ‘what on earth has happened here?!’
I wanted to find out all about it. I wanted more! I decided to enrol straight away for the first year of the course. The results were magical right from the start… Naturally, I completed the course in three years, reaching the highest level. I officially became a hypnotherapist, as well as a communications and PR expert.
In the years that followed, I continued to learn; my curiosity still keeps me hungry for more. In 2025, I decided to undertake Tony Robbins’ two-year programme, covering UPW, DWD, Business Mastery and everything to do with NLP and personal development. And in May 2026, following a rigorous pre-selection process, I was invited to join Dr Richard Bandler in London. A dream came true: three days working with this living legend and founder of NLP, alongside just 14 other entrepreneurs, in a cosy, chic room at The Milestone in Kensington. My life was already good, and now it’s even more wonderful… I’m incredibly happy and equally grateful for what I’ve achieved, and curious about an exceptional life: a life full of vitality and positivity.
So I know exactly how it feels to be stuck in a situation you can’t resolve using logic alone. And I also know what lies on the other side.
That’s what I wish for you. And it starts exactly where it started for me: with a changing feeling.
What our clients say
Linda has added something new to her already overflowing toolbox for helping entrepreneurs get into the news with ease: hypnotherapy. A fantastic way to uproot unhelpful beliefs. For me, that was a massive lack of self-confidence: not knowing what others expected of me, yet still feeling the need to meet those unspoken expectations. So I ended up filling in the gaps myself and always felt guilty. I couldn’t just sit quietly at the table, because the thought would go through my head that I must still have something to do somewhere.
Through hypnosis, we went back to the moment when the seed had been planted. Somewhere in my childhood, on a cosy afternoon with my nieces and nephews at my aunt’s house. Who would have expected that? Only my subconscious. Consciously, I could never have made that connection.
Now I go to events where I know almost no one without batting an eyelid. I sit calmly watching TV without that nervous feeling. I’m relaxed during intake interviews, approach colleagues without hesitation and speak to the press without hesitation. Who would have thought it? Not me. I’d recommend everyone to have a chat with Linda.
Renata Vermeulen
I got to know Linda as someone who is very kind, reliable and cheerful. Linda quickly knew how to get to the heart of the matter by asking the right questions and she does this in a very nice and relaxed way. I would recommend anyone to book a session with Linda. You can rely on Linda and she is very involved with the problem you are experiencing. You notice that Linda does everything to transform your problems and puts the client first.

Frequently asked questions
Does that mean I end up doing things I don’t want to do?
No. Hypnosis does not mean a loss of control; it is a state of deep relaxation combined with heightened focus. You hear everything, you know everything, and you can stop at any moment. Nothing happens without your consent.
Am I actually ‘hypnotisable’?
Almost anyone who wants to can enter a trance. You actually enter one spontaneously several times a day: when you get lost in a film, or when you come home without realising how you drove there. The only thing you really need is the willingness to change.
Why three sessions and not just one?
A single session can bring about a major shift. But three sessions give your subconscious mind time to embed the change in your daily behaviour. And that’s where you really start to see the benefits. The interval of 2 to 3 weeks is deliberate: that’s when your system does the work.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Some people feel it straight away during or after the first session. For others, the shift comes in the days that follow, as the subconscious mind integrates the insights. What almost everyone notices first is a sense of calm.
Is this confidential?
Complete confidentiality. Everything you share stays between us: the content, your situation, and the fact that you are a client.
Do I need to know where my problem comes from?
No. In fact, you usually don’t know. That is precisely why conscious thinking hasn’t helped so far. We let your subconscious point the way.
Will this work even if I’ve already tried everything?
Often, that’s exactly when. Coaching, books and training courses work at a conscious level. If you’ve already tried everything there and the issue is still there, then it lies one level deeper.
The real question
Not: ‘Does this work?’
But: what will it cost you to put this off for another year?
Another year without doing that interview. Another year without mentioning that fee. Another year of lying awake at night worrying about something that could have been sorted in three sessions.
By now you know it won’t go away on its own. Otherwise, it would have gone away already.
Change how you feel. Change how you behave. Change your results.
Not sure if this is right for you? Send me a message. You’ll get an honest answer, even if that answer is that something else would suit you better.
