Joanne Sanders

Hypnotherapy and personal development contributor

Joanne Sanders contributes Prosper Through Self-Hypnosis to Pardon Me, I'm Prospering. Her chapter begins with the financial and practical pressure of starting an earthmoving business while raising a young child and living in temporary accommodation in the Hawkesbury Valley.

The experience prompted an interest in self-help and the way thoughts influenced her outlook. Joanne's biography describes subsequent study with the Academy of Applied Hypnosis in North Sydney and the Institute of Applied Psychology in Sydney, including qualifications in clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy.

Her chapter considers attention, self-esteem and the recurring messages a person gives themselves. It introduces the personal motivation behind her studies and her wish to help others examine those patterns.

Joanne presents her own account of change and the training she pursued. The biography does not extend the qualifications described into a medical or psychology licence, or make the chapter's claims of treatment effectiveness a guarantee for another person.
