Meet your teacher, Sharon Irving

Hello, I'm Sharon Irving, the founder of HeadTonic. I want to share with you the story of how HeadTonic all began.

I became a certified beauty therapist in 1990 and have been working in the industry for 30 years. I particularly enjoy performing massages, aromatherapy, and makeup services, which have kept me passionate about my work.

Around 16 years ago, I decided to follow my passion for counselling. To enhance my knowledge, I volunteered and received training with The Samaritans.

While reading up on various counselling methods, I discovered hypnotherapy and was intrigued. However, due to my busy schedule managing my business and caring for my young children, I didn't have enough hours in the day to pursue the necessary training, and my curiosity was put to one side.

However, when lockdown hit, I took this as an opportunity to enrol in a COSKA Counselling Skills course. After completing the course, I immediately registered for the Hypnotherapy Training Program with the Scottish Academy of Hypnosis and am now a member of NCH.

Finally, I found my niche!

I focus my hypnotherapy practice on three specific areas where hypnotherapy can work well: 

• Smoking

• Overeating

• Stress

Please have a look at my Services page to learn more.

In addition, I have developed a new treatment that combines a luxurious facial experience with a taster hypnotherapy session.

Note: I know people can be wary of new treatments - so please, ask me anything.
