I was looking for a hypnotherapist for a few issues I was experiencing. I particularly wanted someone who had great reviews, and with whom I thought I could intuitively connect. Amanda met both these criteria! And knowing that she had a health background, I felt I was in capable hands. Amanda’s sessions were fun but very powerful. I came away from the sessions energised and hopeful, and the results were amazing. Amanda’s deep caring shines through in every session. I highly recommend her services.

Visiting Amanda was like stepping into another world. It was instantly relaxing and the work she does is life changing. She has an incredible ability to empower and guide people towards their best possible path. I highly recommend her.

When we began our journey together, it felt like I was Dr. Amanda Hordern's sole focus. Her diligence and thoroughness are remarkable, and she has an extraordinary ability to listen and discern even the smallest details I might not have noticed. The initial phone call shows Dr. Amanda Hordern's commitment to her patients.
My primary reason for seeking Amanda's guidance was to address my body-image issues and my ongoing preoccupation with weight. After just a few sessions, I found the resolution to these concerns. I began to explore and understand underlying issues that I had never before recognized as contributing to my worries.
Dr. Amanda Hordern has an exceptional talent for identifying the most delicate nuances in your words, expanding upon them, and conducting a deep analysis that consistently surprises and enlightens. Her ability to connect the dots and help me unearth hidden aspects of my emotional landscape was genuinely transformative.
Throughout our sessions, Amanda created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my most personal thoughts and emotions. Her empathy and genuine care shone through, providing me with the support and guidance I needed to navigate the complexities of my inner world.
Amanda's therapeutic approach goes beyond addressing surface-level concerns. She delves deep into the core of your experiences, helping you uncover and heal from the root causes of your challenges. Thanks to her expertise and unwavering dedication, I have significantly progressed in overcoming my issues and gained invaluable insights into my overall well-being.
In conclusion, Dr. Amanda Hordern is not just a therapist but a dedicated, compassionate, and insightful guide on the journey to self-discovery and healing. If you're seeking professional help to navigate life's challenges and uncover the hidden facets of your psyche, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Amanda Hordern. Her holistic approach to therapy has profoundly impacted my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for her expertise and support.

I am deeply thankful to Dr Hordern, Amanda, for her wondrous skills in helping me to stop drinking alcohol in preparation for brain surgery.

With only 8 weeks before I was due to be operated on, instead of getting healthy, I was drinking to excess, numbing my pain and fears. Amanda's practice was surprisingly uplifting, focusing in on the positives of a new me, and giving me confidence in my ability to make better choices for my health and my future.

And now, almost two months later, not only am I happily sober, my blood pressure has dropped significantly, and is again back to normal!

I have always believed in the importance of approaching health holistically, however having a life threatening condition shines a very bright light on the importance of taking care of our "whole" self. Thank you Amanda for helping me stand strong, centred and sober for my upcoming surgery and a healthy recovery.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bayside Healthy Living.

When looking for support from a professional, you want to find the best person fit for you. Someone not only with knowledge, experience and skill to deliver the service, but also someone whom you can connect with and feel safe to share your concerns. Amanda has a brilliant way of connecting with you, understanding your needs and providing evidence based treatment approaches that deliver results. Amanda has helped me to develop further confidence and belief in myself and my abilities. This trust in myself was evident when I received a call from Channel 7 news requesting me for a news segment- without hesitation I confidently said, 'yes! '. Amanda, thank you for your care and incredible support in helping me discover my potential. You are truly one of a kind.

A year or so ago, I organized an appointment with Dr Amanda Hordern for my daughter, 15 years old at the time to get some assistance as she had a long standing phobia of dogs and it was really beginning to affect what she could do and where she could go socially, as there are dogs everywhere. We had tried numerous strategies to address this problem prior to seeking out Bayside Healthy Living as to be honest, I wasn't a true believer in this approach. My daughter was very motivated and was determined to follow Amanda's guidance and was diligent in any homework she needed to do between sessions. I am very pleased and proud to report following my daughter's sessions with Amanda, she has now over come her phobia of dogs and overtime now wants her own dog! Our family and friends as I am, are amazed at what has been achieved to assist my daughter to deal with her phobia of dogs as it was very real and really affecting her life. I strongly recommend Amanda Hordern at Bayside Healthy Living for assist you, I wish I had been more open to this and we had seeked her out earlier. To think it only took 4 to 6 sessions to change my daughter's life in many ways. A BIG THANK YOU!

I went to Amanda as a recommendation from my specialist to help with menopause symptoms. I got so much more than that! My anxiety is much more manageable and I feel happier and more in control. I feel I have let a lot of my past grief go and I am now better equipped to handle anything the future throws at me.
Thank you Amanda

I Love Love Love working with Amanda
I would highly recommend her to anybody wanting to crack open the potential of the mind

I've got absolutely no hesitation in recommending Amanda. It was such an amazing experience that changed my life completely. If everyone got to experience the benefits of her therapy, the world would be a better place:)

I was referred to Amanda through a friend of mine who spoke so highly of her and it is safe to say that seeing Amanda completely changed my 2020 for the better. It was the highlight of my year and the best thing I ever did. I am such a happier, lighter and more healthier person since seeing Amanda and my outlook on life has completely changed. She is so calming and positive and her techniques are so unique and has helped me so much. I am so grateful to Amanda and how much she has helped me through some tough times.

Amanda is truly amazing at what she does, each session is definitely tailored to the individual.

Amanda is great at finding out what is going on with you at that current time and working with that.

Each session has been different but with the same core meaning.

I listen to the recordings almost daily and they bring so much to my life, from peace to acceptance to realisation and joy.

I highly recommend

I found Amanda by fortunate chance,
Her sessions have helped me hugely advance
In letting old experiences and traumas go -
And releasing the negatives to let positives grow.

Amanda is a kind, patient and caring soul
Who can help us all to reach our goals.
She has a vast skill set and a soothing voice -
I would highly recommend booking in to her course.

You will take away from it tools to use for life
To use each day, as well as in times of strife.
There are so many areas hypnotherapy can address,
There’s nothing to lose - so put it to the test!

I was introduced to Amanda through a friend. I knew from the outset that Amanda was going to be able to help me. She is a highly skilled professional and this is matched by her caring and personable nature. Amanda helps you to feel safe, comfortable and confident that you'll be able to achieve what you want. Highly recommended.

When meeting Amanda I was instantly instilled with a sense of certainty that i was in the right place to quit smoking.

Her therapy room has wonderful energy where I felt relaxed and calm. The whole process was very professional and it was very easy to open up which made it easy for Amanda to work out the best way to aproach my personal issues with the NLP process.

Not only did I quit smoking but i was also able to remove some very engrained patterns which have stopped me developing mentally and spiritually

I would highly recommend Bayside Healthy Living. You are definitely in safe, competent hands with Amanda

I had spent my life going on diets. I was successful only when I put my mind to it. Most of the time I would sabotage my diet by drinking or eating something that was 'naughty'. If I had a goal, I would get close, but never make it to the end (except when I got married).

I knew it was all in my mind set, I thought about hypnotherapy for years, but was afraid it might bring up some ugly past stuff, which I didn't want to face. So I kept putting it off and didn't know where to go and who to trust.

I was talking about it with a friend and she recommended Amanda Hordern as she was qualified. So I organised a visit. I was scared about going, but told myself, "What's the worst thing that could happen? - I have a very expensive sleep".

After the very first visit, I had to go to a Christmas work function. (Normally I would drink alcohol all night and make a fool out of myself).
Well I shocked myself, I had only one glass of champagne and the rest of the night I drank water. I still danced all night and still had fun and still talked to everyone with no problems, no dependency on a champagne! Since that first session, 15th December 2015, I have only ever had one hot chocolate (this was my major downfall, as I always had to have one after every exercise session - basically every day).

I lost the 12 kilos and it stayed off for years. I did it effortlessly! Without even thinking. I wanted to drink lots of water, I wanted and enjoyed my gym and swimming sessions everyday. I enjoyed walking with my husband. Those things were no longer a chore but a pleasure. In fact, I still like doing all those things. I look in the mirror and actually like myself the way I am.

I also had other issues which I needed to face up to, which have been resolved within my subconsciousness. But I feel sometimes there's a part of my brain that needs a lot of work on, but that will be in the future.

I knew the hypnotherapy worked, but I also know my mind needs 'tweeking' every now and then. So I will be back!

From the very first visit, Amanda makes you feel welcome, heard and validated. Her ability to listen and provide authentic, positive responses to your concerns creates an environment that leaves you believing that anything is possible.
Truly, a health practitioner that goes above and beyond for her clients.

I feel completely charged; uplifted and revitalised, quite extraordinary to say the least. My tiredness has totally disappeared and been replaced with an enormous amount of positive energy, coupled with a sense of complete calm, in fact I would say peace. Thank you so very much Amanda.what a truly amazing experience.

As a cancer support nurse in a small organisation, it is critical for me to be able to manage my own well-being, in order to balance the emotional demands of my role and the impact that this type of work can have personally. Amanda has the unique blend of experience and skills to understand and address these issues, helping me identify what I need to do to make sure I stay emotionally fresh and present for my patients, and maintaining my own equilibrium.
