HI! I AM PAULINA
Hi, I’m Paulina, a certified hypnotherapist and former researcher at top UK universities. My background in social science focused on international migration and public health.
Initially sceptical about hypnosis, I discovered its transformative power through personal development, leading me to become a certified hypnotherapist and start my company, No Woo Woo!
FROM SKEPTIC TO ADVOCATE
I used to think hypnosis was like in Scooby Doo—evil hypnotists with swirling red eyes.
But I found it’s an amazing tool for rapid personal change.
This realisation led me to train in hypnosis, quit my 18-year academic career, and start my journey with No Woo Woo!​​​
OVERCOMING APHANTASIA
​​​​During my training, I discovered I had aphantasia—an inability to visualize images.
Traditional hypnosis techniques didn’t work for me, and I almost gave up. However, I realised I wasn’t alone and turned my challenge into a research project to help others with aphantasia access effective hypnotherapy.
My Mission
I’m committed to raising awareness about aphantasia among therapists and developing best practices for working with non-visualisers. I offer training and consultancy sessions and speak at major hypnosis conferences, including Hypno Thoughts Live and the UK Hypnosis Convention.
Outside of Work
I enjoy various sports, though not consistently (thanks, ADHD!). I love table tennis, hula hooping, and weekly Pilates. Nature walks and beach trips are my happy places—I adore collecting sea shells and listening to the waves.
​
Creativity is also a passion of mine; I once held a modern art exhibition on a bet. I’m a proud cat lady with a soft spot for my cat, Pasio, who loves eating as much as I do.
​
I’m a big fan of K-dramas, especially "Hello, Me!" for its entertaining and insightful take on personal growth and inner child work.
