Coaching Quick Start

One thing. Three sessions. Finally free of it.

Coaching Quick Start is three focused 1:1 sessions for when there is one specific thing standing in your way. A fear that has been shrinking your life. A decision you can't seem to make. A big moment you need to walk into calm and ready. We go straight to it with ECT, NLP and hypnosis, and we clear it at the root.

I know what it's like when one thing quietly runs your life.

For me, it was a can of Coke Zero.

When I fell pregnant with my first baby, I had hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of pregnancy sickness. I was nauseous and vomiting almost all day, every day, for forty weeks. I could barely keep food down. I couldn't even keep water down. The only thing that helped was something fizzy, so I lived on sparkling water and Coke Zero. It was not the vibrant, healthy pregnancy I had hoped for.

Then it happened all over again with my second baby.

With my babies so close together, Coke Zero quietly became my safe thing. Six years later, I was still drinking at least one can a day, often more. It wasn't the worst habit in the world. I just didn't like it, and I couldn't seem to let it go.

So I turned the tools I use with my clients on myself. ECT cleared the emotional link between Coke Zero and comfort. Hypnosis anchored a new response in its place. The pull simply disappeared. I haven't had one since July 2025.

No willpower. No white-knuckling. The reason I was reaching for it was simply gone.

That's what I see in my clients again and again. Sometimes what's holding you back isn't your whole life. It's one fear, one habit, one belief, one moment you've been bracing against for years.

When that's the case, you don't need twelve weeks. You need focus.

That's what Coaching Quick Start is for.

Is this you?

You know exactly what you want to shift.

  • There's one fear you've organised your life around, whether it's flying, driving, needles, heights or speaking up, and you're tired of saying no because of it
  • You have a big moment coming up, a flight, a presentation, surgery, an exam or an interview, and you want to walk into it calm
  • You're facing a decision that matters and you keep going round in circles
  • Something has happened that you didn't choose, and you need focused support to steady yourself and move forward
  • You've worked with me before and want support with what's in front of you right now
  • You know exactly what you want to shift. You just haven't been able to shift it on your own

If one of these is you, this was made for you.

What becomes possible

Imagine booking the flight without the weeks of dread. Saying yes to the overseas wedding, the trip home to family, the holiday you've been putting off for years.

Imagine walking into the presentation, the appointment or the hard conversation with your breath steady and your mind clear.

Imagine the decision made, and settled, so you can stop carrying it around at 3am.

That's what happens when the response underneath is gone. Not managed. Gone.

The real problem

Fear isn't logical. That's why logic doesn't fix it.

You already know flying is statistically safe. You know the presentation will probably go fine. You know nothing terrible is likely to happen. And your body reacts anyway.

That's because the response was learned, often in a single moment, and it lives below your conscious mind. Talking yourself out of it doesn't reach it. Avoiding it only makes it stronger.

The same is true of decisions you can't make. It's rarely a lack of information. Usually there's a fear or an old belief attached to one of the options, and until that's cleared, you'll keep circling.

Coaching Quick Start goes to where the response was formed, clears it, and builds a new one in its place.

What you get

Three sessions, one clear arc.

Every Quick Start is shaped around what you bring. This is the usual arc.

1

Find the root

We get clear on exactly what you want to shift and trace it back to where it began. Then we use ECT to release the emotion holding it in place.

2

Clear and rewire

We release whatever remains and use NLP to change how your mind responds to the trigger, so the old reaction loses its grip.

3

Anchor and rehearse

We use hypnosis to strengthen your new state and mentally rehearse the moment ahead, whether that's the flight, the presentation or the conversation, so the calm comes with you.

What's included

  • Three private 1:1 sessions of 60 minutes on Google Meet, usually a week apart
  • A short pre-session questionnaire, so we start at depth from the first minute
  • A personalised hypnosis recording created for your specific goal, to listen to at home and before your big moment
Who this is for

One fear, one decision, one event, one hard season.

Coaching Quick Start is for the woman who knows exactly what she wants to shift. It's ideal if you're working through a specific fear or phobia, preparing for a moment that matters, or navigating a decision or change that has knocked you off balance. It's also a natural way to come back for focused support if you've worked with me before.

It isn't the right fit if what you're carrying is broader. If it's burnout, people-pleasing, or patterns showing up across your work, your relationships and your sense of who you are, Aligned & Activated will serve you better, and it's the better value for that kind of change.

Why this is different

This isn't talk therapy, and it isn't a pep talk with a few breathing exercises.

Coaching Quick Start combines three modalities, each doing a specific job.

ECTEmotional Change Technique finds and releases the emotion attached to where the fear or belief began.
NLPChanges how your mind responds to the trigger.
HypnosisBuilds and reinforces the calm, confident state you want to live from.

Hypnosis is especially powerful for fears and phobias, because it works directly with the part of the mind where those automatic responses live.

I'm a certified EAWTC graduate, trained in ECT, NLP and hypnotherapy, and I bring twenty years of naturopathy and biomedical science to how I understand your body and nervous system.

Your questions, answered honestly

Before you book

"Can three sessions really shift a fear I've had for years?"

Fears are often formed in a single moment, and many shift quickly once you work with where they began. Everyone is different. If what you're carrying feels bigger than one thing, Aligned & Activated may be the better fit.

"Why $1,800 for three sessions?"

Each session is prepared around you, and you leave with a hypnosis recording made for your specific goal. Think about what this one thing has already cost you: the trips not taken, the opportunities turned down, the energy spent bracing. And if what you need is deeper work, Aligned & Activated is the better investment for that.

"Will I have to relive it?"

No. ECT is designed to clear the emotion attached to a memory without re-experiencing it. You're guided and supported the whole way.

"Is hypnosis safe? I don't want to lose control."

You're aware and in control throughout. Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state, much like the moment just before you fall asleep.

"I'm going through something really hard right now."

Coaching Quick Start can give you focused support through a difficult decision, event or season. It isn't a crisis service. If you're feeling unsafe or overwhelmed, please contact your GP or Lifeline on 13 11 14 straight away.

What my clients say
"Before working with Alisha, I constantly jumped to worst-case scenarios whenever my child made a small mistake. Alisha helped me understand the why behind my reactions and release my catastrophising patterns. I now stay present, respond calmly, and feel lighter and emotionally freer."
