Let it go and live your potential

Everything we do at Bayside Healthy Living is to empower people to be the best version of themselves.

We believe that everyone deserves to live the life they desire, and that past experiences, unconscious beliefs and blocks can get in the way of people being who they want to be.

Let us guide and support you to realise the healthier, happier version of yourself and to achieve more meaningful life connections along the way.

SERVICES WE PROVIDE

If we could switch off the unconscious blocks that prevent us from being our best selves, we would, right?

Sometimes we need a little assistance to go to the place deep within to eliminate the obstacles that hold us back and ‘re-set’ the mind and body to healthier and happier defaults.

That’s why we use a tailored approach and are here to support you every step of the way.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

When going through challenging times in our lives, it’s natural for the brain to default to fear-based emotions such as overwhelming sadness, anger, frustration, shame, guilt, and despair, to name a few. When you are clearer about what you are searching for, we can guide and connect you to your ‘WHY’ factor as we offer supportive programs that are tailored to your individual needs.

We use an individualised ‘custom-made’ approach because we understand that every person’s past is unique. Our programs assist you to recognise and eliminate the personal triggers that hold you back (especially the ones that you are not consciously aware of) and will give you back the power to create the future that you truly desire. We draw on a range of therapies to support you as you discover your ‘HOW’ … and it is much easier than you think!

‘HOW’ therapies include:

WHAT OUR THERAPISTS DO AT BAYSIDE HEALTHY LIVING?

Our therapists are experts at supporting you to find your WHY, even if you have never had it before.

When you are clear about your WHY factor, your “what’s in it for me” reason to make the lifestyle changes you’re wanting to make, Dr Amanda or Alison will assist you to embrace your HOW… and it’s much easier than you think!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY VISIT?

Complimentary phone consultation

Before attending the Clinic, we offer a complimentary no-obligation phone consultation. We answer your questions about the change you desire and identify which of the Bayside Healthy Living individualised programs suit you best.

We then send an email that summarises the step-by-step process, along with an outline of the fees. We will outline the eligibility to claim through private health funds (if appropriate) or tax claims under ‘professional development’.

Preparing for your visit

Pre-session information and forms (including ‘The Power of Hypnosis’ Mp3 track) will be sent to you via email or post.

Please commence any ‘pre-session tasks’ (if required), complete the forms prior to your first session, leaving any questions that are not relevant, and bring the forms with you when you attend your first session.

Please listen to the pre-session Mp3 track which explains how the programs work and answers frequently asked questions.

Your first visit

Your therapist will go through your pre-session forms, to gain clarity around your healthy living goals (your WHY factor – your ‘what’s in it for me’ factor), assessing past, unconscious barriers or blocks that have prevented you from successfully achieving this before now.

The development of a personalised program and subjective measures of success are recorded in this pre-session discussion. Your first session includes a long therapy session (that’s why the first session is 2 hours – and goes really fast ).

You will sit in a relaxed chair, with the option of putting up your feet, and relaxing under a comfortable blanket.

TESTIMONIALS

Amanda is simply phenomenal. She is kind, caring and just a divine human. From the moment you walk inside, you feel comfortable and a sense of calm. Her kindness is genuine. I don’t just consider Amanda as someone who is helping me through a bloody hard time in my life, but I consider her to be a friend and mentor. She goes above and beyond and I can’t recommend her enough. Forever grateful. xxooo

Emma, Bentleigh

"... After encountering quite a traumatic episode in my life in quick succession including the unexpected loss of family members, a divorce and subsequently being the sole carer for family members remaining, I was not in a good space. With Amanda’s gentle guidance she has helped me navigate through all the turmoil and destruction that was happening in my life. I am happy to say I am now on more solid ground and living a much more fulfilling existence!... Sessions offer a sanctuary away from the busyness of the world and a safe place and time for reflection and future goal setting. Her approach is one of empathy but grounded in solid logical thought processes ... Amanda has been amazing and a real lifesaver and I applaud you to seek how she can help you become the best version of YOU and live a fulfilling life!"

Joyce, Port Melbourne

"When my GP referred me to Bayside Healthy Living for alcohol dependency issues, I was hopeful but sceptical. My drinking had further escalated during the initial COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and was causing me great concern but ‘willpower’ was insufficient to control it. My concerns were allayed after our first meeting where I immediately felt in safe hands. After 3 sessions of reprogramming my subconscious mind I am now free to consciously enjoy the occasional drink on my terms. Thank you again Amanda for your professionalism and your expertise in helping me regain the control I desperately sought in such a warm and nurturing environment. The future is now clear and bright and I am forever grateful."

Lou, Toorak

"I attended Amanda’s clinic twice in 2017 to quit smoking. It worked dramatically as though I never smoked. Current I am $74,000 in front at the amount I was spending per day. On today’s cost it would be $100,000+. I have bought 2 new cars with the money. I am 25 kg lighter and row a minimum of 5,000 metres 4 times a week on my Ergo. If you have any doubts, forget them. Get on with it!!"

Phil, Brighton

“Amanda’s sessions helped me identify the reasons behind some self-sabotaging patterns of behaviour that I have had for a very long time. Her warm manner and guidance felt like I was in a safe place to truly get to the source of what I was doing and why. She gave me valuable tools to equip myself to change and feel confident to practice better self-care and have a healthier way of living. I would very much recommend her program.”
