I'm Helena Sterne, Stress & Pain Specialist and Hypno Coach — combining Eastern medicine with cutting edge hypnotherapy to help you heal from the inside out.

This is the story of why I do what I do.

In 2023, I had a stroke that left me paralysed down one side. Despite being well supported by family, I felt terrified and alone within myself — like something had changed, and I was different.

That became my turning point.

Before that, I'd spent seven years immersed in Traditional Chinese Medicine and running my acupuncture clinic — graduating from the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in 2020 and deepening my fascination with how inseparable the mind and body really are in people. During lockdown, I retrained in many forms of hypnotherapy — I wanted to learn all about the mysteries of the subconscious mind to compliment my approach.

After my stroke, I made the decision to close my clinic — and while it broke my heart at first, I soon realised how convenient and deeply effective it can be to support my patients online, in the safety and comfort of their own homes. I love blending all my knowledge together into my signature style, The Identity Detox.

I'm also a mum to a daughter with autism and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I've fought the system. I know what it feels like to need real help and hit walls instead. That's not what you'll find here.

I live by the sea in Pembrey with my husband and cat. I play music, carve wood, walk in forests. I'm a real person — and I genuinely care.

You're not alone in this. I have firsthand experience of trauma — and over a decade of specialist clinical work supporting people through it. You are safe here.
