Meet Sharon Garrett
Dip.CAH, P.N.L.P., Cert.E.Hyp, Cert.Anx.Spec, Cert.SCS
Clinical Hypnotherapist & NLP Practitioner
I completed my training in Hypnotherapy with the NZ School of Professional Hypnotherapy and the UK Academy of therapeutic arts and sciences. I hold Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy qualifications, a Practitioners Certificate in Neuro Linguistic Programming and Specialist Hypnotherapy Certifications in Ericksonian Hypnosis, Smoking Cessation and Anxiety. I am also qualified to deliver Sheila Granger's acclaimed Virtual Gastric Banding programme.
In the 90s I hosted a weekly talk back radio show dedicated to health in Dubai and remembered how interesting I found one of my guests. That guest was a lady called Beryl who shared details of her career using hypnosis to help people unlock their potential and even control pain. This ignited my curiosity.
When I finally turned to hypnosis myself, with terrific results for pain management and stress, I decided this was the direction I wanted to pursue in order to help others be the best version of themselves.
I am proud to be a professional member of Hypnosis New Zealand and abide by their Code of Conduct.
What is Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic technique that works with the subconscious mind to create positive and lasting change. While the conscious mind is responsible for logical thinking and decision-making, the subconscious mind stores our habits, beliefs, emotions, memories and automatic responses. By accessing this deeper level of awareness, hypnotherapy can help you overcome challenges, develop new perspectives and achieve your personal goals.
Despite what you may have seen on television, hypnosis is not about losing control or being made to do anything against your will. In fact, you remain aware, relaxed and in control throughout the entire process. Most people describe the experience as feeling deeply relaxed, similar to daydreaming, meditation or becoming completely absorbed in a good book.
At MindZone, every session is tailored specifically to you. We begin by discussing your goals, challenges and the outcomes you would like to achieve. Using a combination of hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and positive therapeutic suggestions, you will be guided into a comfortable state of focused relaxation where meaningful change can occur.
Most clients leave their session feeling calm, refreshed and empowered.
Hypnotherapy is not about changing who you are – it is about helping you become the best version of yourself.
Hypnosis can help with...
Stress & Anxiety
Hypnosis achieves impressive results alleviating stress and feelings of anxiety. Combined with some simple tools and listening, to take-home recordings and exercises you'll be surprised.
Energy & Fatigue
Feeling exhausted all the time is no way to live. Let me work with you to help you sleep better, awake feeling recharged and energised.
Addiction to Sugar
Dependence on and addiction to sugar or even cola and energy drinks can be treated with Hypnosis working on triggers. It's not magic but certainly will assist you once you've decided you truly want change.
Pain Management
& Oncology
Modern medicine tells us to treat pain with pharmaceuticals - sometimes achieving good results but over an extended period it's just not effective. Hypnotherapy is a great choice if you want to tackle pain using the power of your subconscious. I am also proud to offer support for cancer patients.

About the Sheila Granger Method
The UK-based therapist Sheila Granger pioneered the Virtual Gastric Band back in 2010. Sharon Garrett from MindZone Hypnotherapy NZ is one of 2,500 certified practitioners worldwide. The Virtual Gastric Band is a psychology-based hypnotic weight loss programme, designed to be simple but radically change how you think about food.
The Virtual Gastric Band is NOT a diet.
This hypnotherapy weight loss programme focuses on your relationship with food by resetting your eating habits; identifying any unhelpful food associations and habits and working with you to make small, realistic changes that you can adopt for the long term and live with easily.
The Virtual Gastric Band uses hypnosis and other psychology-based skills to train the client to think about food more pragmatically and reduce portion sizes. The result is steady, sustainable weight loss - without dieting, and completely naturally.
You will effortlessly embrace new, positive habits to free you from thinking about food all of the time and your rewired mindset will enable you to enjoy the food you do eat, so much more!
The Sheila Granger Virtual Gastric Band method of weight loss has been featured around the world in multiple newspapers and magazines:
How it works
The programme is delivered through four sessions, to help change your mindset on food and reinforce long-term behaviour change, including smaller portions, regular exercise and a greater enjoyment of drinking water.
The sessions are highly personalised and are tailored to you as an individual - because we are all different and unique.
The hypnosis will address issues that have perhaps derailed your weight management in the past, including snacking, and comfort eating.
Your sessions can be carried out by Sharon from MindZone either in person or online via Zoom.
Hypnosis for weight loss is incredibly safe, effective and popular, and provides a fantastic life-long solution for those who struggle with food habits.
