Testimonials: hipnotherapy

About five years ago, I started to struggle with chronic fatigue. As a professional athlete, it was difficult to break my contract and sign a defeat, but it was even harder to stop following your dreams. At that time, for the first time I heard about hypnotherapy, and good friend of mine said that it might help. As I lived outside of my origin country, it was difficult to find a person of trust. One year ago, the pain and fatigue were so strong that I had to give up and sign the capitulation. Studying the work of Dr. Joe's Dispenza brought to Petra and on her website, I found out that she is also working with hypnotherapy. It did not take long to schedule an appointment.
Although for the main reason I mentioned tiny phobia and curiosity, in the initial conversation, Petra said that chronic fatigue could be also good to cover in hypnotherapy. We started with meditation and relaxation, and then Petra took me to one of the most interesting adventures of the lifetime. The journey started in my safe place, a mountain I always like to return when I came home. She met me with my phobia, took me to early childhood, and through communication with myself at age of 6 and 4 years, but also with the phobia itself, gave me the right answers.
Through various sensations in my body, we have reached the main source of fatigue. Unlike the phobia which was outside of me, tiredness manifested itself as part of me. Petra then took me back to the mountain where we tried to throw away that fatigue. It turned out that it is still not the right time to be thrown, because in my life for the last several years there was no time for tiredness.
For the end of my journey, two young version of myself (6 and 4 years old) joined me on the mountain. And when I thought it was all over, there were some new questions which brought new sensations in my body. Suddenly I am shown up in the sports hall, at my last match of a professional career. Watching myself on the sports field, the whole situation has become very emotional. Petra then took me to come closer, to embrace myself and congratulate on everything we have gone through together. Although I was proud of everything I did, the athlete in me could not stop tears.
After returning to the present moment, returning home and the rest of the day was quite emotional, but the next morning everything had somehow become different. Although I still have no answers to some questions, I started to enjoy more discovering them.
Thank you Petra for this wonderful and amazing adventure!

My problems have accumulated over the years... I had to look for help. I couldn’t help myself. Hypnotherapy was not a term I was familiar with but while reading your website, I realized that I had to call you and talk to you to find out more about it. Each time I left your studio, I felt better and better from the inside. And the exercises you gave me to help myself, helped a lot. Each day I practice and affirm; I see and feel the shifts in myself and my surroundings. The blockages I didn’t know how to clear out slowly disappeared, and working with you made that happen. Everyone needs to know that nothing can disappear just with "a flick of your fingers", so it takes time, effort but most importantly a person who can help you figure out where the problem is that caused it. What I’ve achieved in this short time is a lot for me. I can honestly say that every moment invested in myself at your studio is more than priceless. Thank you for everything.

Since I haven’t had any previous experience with hypnotherapy, working with Petra was a surprising experience. She is the first person in my life I told some things about myself that I hadn’t told anyone before, and she listened to me without degradation or judgment. She calmed me in a special way, and as we went through the therapy we managed to bring my deeply-rooted and restrictive beliefs to the surface. It's like we did a mini conversation and Petra guided me calmly and with care. We got answers to many questions, including how to wake up my (sleeping) femininity. With Petra's support I managed to become aware of my blockages, which I started to deal with successfully. After hypnotherapy my life changed - first I felt certain peace on a deeper level, then I was able to go through an inevitable holiday depression more easily and quickly, I started writing love poetry, some problems at physical level disappeared, I went to a dance class, and I kept discovering the new things that I can do and enjoy, became a part of “new me“, who I look forward to get to know, and who surprises me every day.

I had persistent bladder infections and I was always prescribed antibiotics that had side effects and so on... for many years, as in a vicious circle. In addition, my periods were so painful that I would vomit each time, have diarrhea and literally pass out. When I came to Petra, I was surprised because the space was beautiful, she was very professional, pleasant and we talked about everything that was happening in my life, what troubled me, what health problems I had, and then we started the treatment. It was like a difference between night and day! After only a month I got rid of bladder infection naturally with a help of remedy Petra had prepared. Even though I was nervous about hypnotherapy at the beginning it blew my mind - it was a pleasant relaxed state after which I felt so much better - both physically and at work, and in a relationship... a beautiful change in all aspects of my life For the first time in my life my period was finally as it’s supposed to be - pleasant! I recommend Zivia to everyone!

I didn’t know anything at all about hypnotherapy, as I talked to a colleague who had good experiences I felt something. I went to Zivia where I met wonderful Petra, who is born for this job, and I'm glad I went through a cycle of tears, laughter and questions and, most importantly, new answers. I see my personal life, my past and future much more clearly now and I'm considerably less self-critical. I changed the way I look at my body and its weaknesses, linked the causes to some changes and pains, and with Petra’s help, I adopted the relaxation techniques that I have been applying successfully and consciously since then. I stayed in the hospital for a few days without fear and underwent a surgery more relaxed than ever before. I emphasize this because I had problems with hospitals even during shorter hospital stays, and the doctors were a nightmare to me. Thanks Petra!! I definitely recommend hypnotherapy with Petra.

Thank you Petra for helping me with hypnotherapy to become aware of some things in my life, move forward and be carefree.

In 2015 I went to Zivia Studio for the first time and attended the workshop “Aromatherapy for Babies and Children“. It was interesting and informative. If you wanted to find out more about something, Peta would always find an answer. And after the workshop, if I had any questions or doubts, I could always send an e-mail, and I would get a reply very quickly. After that I went to acupuncture to give birth more quickly and easily and it was fantastic. I believe that it helped because I gave birth in 3 and half hours. Both Petra and Dr. Orešković are both caring and they radiate positive energy. My most recent experience is related to hypnotherapy. I wanted to solve some of my problems and fears and decided to go to Petra again. And of course I did a right thing. I felt better after only two treatments. Some fears have disappeared, and the other problems I had struggled with were diminished or I learned through the therapy how to alleviate them. I have only word of praise and great recommendations. Petra, you're beautiful.

In the simplest terms, hypnosis is a unique experience and certainly a unique experience I came across in a confusing period of my life. Coming here was a spontaneous decision, but I am convinced it was not a coincidence. I came more or less unprepared, without big expectations, I only knew I needed "something." Bingo! Regardless of the topics I had chosen for the therapy, and I have to say they were neither pleasant nor easy, the sessions themselves were a very enjoyable experience. One isn’t even aware that he doesn’t have to deal with what troubles him, burdens him and blocks him in a tedious and difficult way
Hypnotherapy should not be idealized or perceived as a magic wand, because there is no such thing. There is no place, time or technique that will "fix" us. The most valuable thing I got from the sessions is the perspective and the tools I can use to help myself and make it easier for myself. Sessions were lead by Petra, who is indeed an angel and a blessing for anyone who meets her. Each therapy was tailored to fit me, my needs and the current state of my mind, heart and soul. Now when I'm thinking about it in retrospect, I do not see it as a therapy in a usual sense of the word. By “therapy“ we mainly think of diagnosis and prescribed therapy that follows. I feel that the purpose of hypnotherapy was to see better a lot of things in my life, to determine what’s most important and to simply relax. That I can through everything without a lump in one’s throat. It does not matter what happens outside while there is peace on the inside. Hypnotherapy helped me become aware of what I’ve always known about myself: that I am strong enough and capable enough to be ok regardless of the situation I find myself in. It was like before I had been in a room with a door which led to a balcony with a view on a beautiful garden but the curtains were drawn and for some reason I wasn’t aware that I couldn’t see the garden only because I didn’t move the curtains. Petra was the one who pointed out that the curtains were there and that I just needed to move them aside to open the view and to light up the room. The more I work on it and think about it, the more I'm aware of the view, the beautiful garden I see now, and the fact that the door had a doorknob that just needs to be turned so that the garden is not just a nice view but I can also touch it, smell it, feel the fresh air and enjoy all the beauty it offers. I carry this knowledge with me and I will never be able to put a price tag on it. It is simply a blessing and a fortune. I will always be grateful to Petra for teaching me that, and I recommend to anyone who feels lost, overwhelmed or hopeless to come there. Hypnotherapy is a gift we give ourselves, and at Zivia Studio with Petra you couldn’t be in better hands.

I met Petra in a very unusual way, but she soon became a part of my life. She introduced me to the world of chakras, and this started my process of growth and awakening. We've rounded it up with hypnotherapy and my life got a new spark of joy. With Petra, I met a new-old self who taught me to appreciate life and events in it. People go to the seaside and wellness weekends to relax and “recharge „their batteries and I found my wellness at Zivia Studio with Petra. Thank you from the heart.

This experience has transformed my life. I did not expect much, and I got what I needed. Some of the results were seen right away, and some contributed to my attitude and my reaction in difficult situations and led me to the desired goal. Petra has helped me to become aware of what I can do, what I should do and how, and for that I'm eternally grateful to her.

I came to see Petra with a health problem. On someone’s recommendation I decided to try this way after I took 5 different types of antibiotics and tried everything. A single hypnotherapy helped me realize what the problem was and what my brake was. I’ll just say that 3 days after the first hypnotherapy all the symptoms came to a halt. I felt so much better. Apart from helping me heal, I learned to deal with it. I have completely redirected my energy to the positive. Everything I learned thanks to Petra I apply in all stressful situations in my everyday life. I will never forget that. I recommend it to everyone not only for health problems, but for anything we ’are not able to solve ourselves. Thank you, Petra.

I came to Petra in a bad psychological and physical state, tired, exhausted, drained by current life circumstances, chronically sleep deprived... I needed something, and I did not know what it was, but I knew I wanted to get out of that bleakness I got into... through conversation, therapy, and especially hypnotherapy, I noticed a big change in myself after the first appointment, started to feel a sense of peace, tranquility, I started to sleep better... After another appointment and hypnotherapy, I felt a lot of things, changed the patterns of my behavior (actually, I am still changing them consciously) and I feel awake, cheerful, I have a lot more energy, and my personal relationships have improved and advanced at all levels... I came to Petra on someone’s recommendation, but I didn’t hope for a change like this... thank you so much and see you soon...

Petra has helped me a lot with healing a very persistent chronic inflammation. None of the antibiotics had any effect. With her unique approach she helped me find out the inner problem. To see and peek into myself. I learned to listen to my body and to look at the whole problem positively. The answers and results came right away. The effect was so quick and effective that I will certainly come here again for every problem in the future. Indeed, I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Petra is a wonderful, patient person who will help you make the most of all the good you carry in yourself!

I came to Zivia Studio on my sister’s recommendation. I had been hearing great things about Petra for a long time: that when you come to her, you can feel peace and positive energy. My problems have already become a part my everyday life. Over many years, they only accumulated. And I tried to solve them, but always in a wrong way. And I was running in circles. Since hypnotherapy had helped my sister, I decided to give it a try. And I'm really satisfied. Petra helped me to understand and become aware of the real cause of my problems. Through therapy she made some things easier for me and helped me face the problem and solve it more easily. So far I've been to two therapies and I might come again. But after only two treatments I feel a big change for the better. Beautiful experience!
