About Michael

I’ve been practising hypnosis and hypnotherapy in a clinical setting for over 15 years. I was clinically trained at Victoria’s only government-registered hypnotherapy training body, The Academy of Hypnotic Science. I later advanced my expertise under prominent hypnotist Rick Collingwood, earning an Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis. I’ve also trained under world-renowned psychologist Dr Gordon Emmerson, founder of Ego State Therapy and Honorary Fellow of Victoria University’s School of Psychology.

Clinic Location & Online Services

Our clinic is conveniently located in central Bendigo at 391 Hargreaves Street, near Bendigo Marketplace and just a few minutes from the train station. It’s easy to get to for people from Castlemaine, Strathfieldsaye, Kangaroo Flat, and surrounding areas.

We also offer professional online hypnosis sessions across Australia. You can book from anywhere—Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, or regional towns—through secure Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

My partner Jill and our twin boys.

I’ve been a professional member of The Australian Hypnotherapist’s Association (The AHA), Australia’s oldest and most prominent Hypnotherapy Association. This membership requires that I undergo regular up to date training, and professional development. All this means really is that I didn’t just do a weekend course to practice hypnosis. Things I’m known for include public speaking hypnosis and helping people with their anxieties.

I am a proud father of two twin boys, and I have a beautiful partner who is sick of me leaving hypnosis and psychology books around the house. I am originally from Peru where my beautiful mother still resides.

I love Australia because it is my home. Full of good people, excellent coffee and a wonderful culture. I hope that in the next 10 years more and more people get to know evidence-based hypnosis and its powerful potential in helping people move on and make positive changes to their lives.
