Belinda hesitated for a while before joining this network as the term "expert" has connotations of "mastery" which didn't sit comfortably with her: surely when it comes to "self growth" the only expert about your self growth is you! She suggests that those who are working with clients in the area of personal development are in fact "helpers", albeit with a range of skills and knowledge derived from professional training and experience.

Born and educated in the UK, Belinda Hulstrom is an experienced practitioner, educator and mentor in the field of Professional Hypnotherapy. She operates a busy private clinic as well as well as being the Principal Tutor of the Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis in Australia.
