Light Your Star

I came to know Sviatlana when I was at my lowest. She has been providing me with helpful and easy to understand advice and tools. She is dedicated and genuinely professional in her field. I have received the needed experience from her guidance and hypnosis. The journey is yours but she can help you go through it with fewer difficulties.

I've been struggling for years with stage anxiety. As a singer and a performer it has always hindered my rehearsals and sometimes my performances on the stage. Sviatlana in 2 sessions helped me achieve what I've been trying to achieve for the past decade through various other methods. I've managed to be on stage confident, calm, balanced and centered while performing and my singing has definitely improved. I'd recommend Sviatlana to anyone who is suffering from anxiety. You will definitely not regret it. Thank you, Sviatlana!

I've been given the opportunity to learn how to deal with my anxiety without having to take medication. The relaxation techniques enable me to manage/deal with stressful situations. Things that were buried in my subconscious have been delt with so they no longer effect me now. I belive that we all have the power within ourselves to resolve anxiety.

Already after 4 sessions for weight loss I have dropped 1 size in clothing. I feel fitter and healthier. I naturally look for foods with protein and for fresh produce for all my meals. I naturally avoid processed foods now. I highly recommend Sviatlana for weight loss.

My experience was very positive and beneficial for me. I wanted to work through issues such as confidence and self-esteem, motivation, my life's direction and how to be a better me. Sviatlana helped me understand myself, who I was, what direction I wanted to take and helped me build the skills I required in order to achieve my goals and purpose.

I have felt major positive shifts in my life since working with Sviatlana, particularly in the area of running my business. I have been walking away from each session with a huge feeling of calm and peace. I also really like her sessions, which combine a very action-oriented coaching aspect with hypnotherapy.

I had a very sever phobia of flying and suffered from anxiety. I'd tried lots of different methods to overcome my phobia & anxiety for many years and nothing seemed to help.
Finally through my Naturopath I was recommended to try Hypnotherapy.
I thought: “Why not? I've tried everything else!!!”

I started my sessions with Sviatlana, and to be honest, thought it would not, could not work on me. It did take a few sessions but I can't believe I'm even writing this, but it worked!!!! I flew over to Perth and back and had no fear, only a little excitement, which I can't even remember the last time I felt like that.
My anxiety has definitely lessened too. We are still working on it, but now I have confidence that soon it will be under my full control.
I highly recommend "Light your Star."

"I have struggled for a long time with my eating habits and also being more confidence when speaking at work meetings and in social situations. With Sviatlana I've now some really effective tools under my belt that are tailored to my needs that I can call on at any time. Highly recommended! Karen."

Highly recommend Light Your Star! I have been having a very difficult 12months, to the point that I was going to give up on my business which I have been running for the past six years. After one session with Sviatlana, I felt reborn! Almost like a brand new person with full positive energy! All my staff members can see this big change with my work attitude, and my wife, and my parents- all surprised about how this changed me. I don't even know how to describe how much I want to thank Sviatlana for this! You have saved my life, thank you! I would recommend anyone to see Sviatlana if you are taking on any life challenge.

I began to smoke at 17y.o. and kept smoking for 20 years consuming at least 1 pack of cigarettes a day. I tried in those 20 years to quit smoking many times and in all sorts of ways: special plasters, chewing gums, tablets, psychologists, books, acupuncture, power of will…but I was always returning back to smoking…even giving birth to 2 children did not stop me.
When I met Sviatlana, I was quite pessimistic, as I had tried already one hypnotherapist before: after the sessions with the previous hypnotherapist I lasted without cigarettes for one week…
Imagine my surprise when only after 2 sessions with Sviatlana I completely lost interest in smoking! For the first time I did not suffer from withdrawal symptoms and didn’t think obsessively about cigarettes. My life has changed a lot in the last year since I became a Non-Smoker. My sleep has normalized, I became more energetic; I can smell the smells of flowers, perfumes, the world around me. I did not realize how much time I wasted on smoking-now I have time to read a book, look after myself or play with the kids, which before I didn’t have time for. My health has been improving: my cough has gone, headaches became obsolete. Now I can run in a park and get pleasure from it, instead of getting a fit of cough and heaving panting.
Sviatlana gave me back the joy of life! Thank you!

I’ve lacked self-confidence in social situations with people since childhood. I’ve had one session with Sviatlana . As a result I'm getting on with people unbelievably well now! I have strengthened the friendship with my old friends, as well as got acquainted with some new ones! Sometimes I still feel some a kind of discomfort, but it's become so much easier now to overcome the old negative self-talk. I am absolutely thankful to Sviatlana for helping me!

"I had a problem of not believing in myself and always faced difficulty in achieving my goals. Due to the low confidence level I always thought that I was not good enough at anything and it was hard for me to socialize. I was living my life doubting myself for many years. I am going to study nursing and I want to succeed in this field but I doubted myself.
After just one session with Sviatlana I started believing in myself and have gained a lot of control over my emotions.
Sviatlana is very helpful and concerns about whether I am using the tools I was given in the first session, which I found very helpful in day to day life. Now I am confident and gradually developing my ambition to try new things."

Sviatlana helped me get rid of my phobia of heights. I would have a panic attack every time I had to go over a bridge or up in a lift. Sviatlana said that one session would be enough to cure a phobia, only then we’d need to go and test it. We went to St Kilda Towers, where there is a bridge and a lift with a glass wall. Before I would NEVER even think of getting into that lift! At first I walked over the bridge several times as any normal person did-I felt like a slave who was liberated! Then we got into the lift with a glass wall to get straight to level 8. I got an adrenalin rush, but it was an excitement rush, not a panic! I would highly recommend Sviatlana to anyone who wants to get rid of a phobia.

I’ve had a phobia of being in small, enclosed spaces for about 40 years. As you can imagine, it was causing me a lot of problems in life. I was sceptical when I went to see Sviatlana, as I thought no hypnosis can change what I’ve struggled with for so long. After just one session Sviatlana told me to go together with her and test the results. At first we sat together in an enclosed car which before would make me feel that I suffocate-and I was fine! Then we went to take a lift-and I was fine! After doing it together, she told me that I can do it now by myself, while she was standing not far away. And I did it!!! It seems so silly now to me that I didn’t go to the hypnotherapist earlier and suffered for almost 40 years! Just one session! Unbelievable!

Svialtana is friendly and easy to talk to. She is good at what she does and genuinely wants people to be the best they can and will encourage you to do what it takes for that to happen.
Thank you Svialtana!

‘In just a few meetings with Sviatlana we accomplished so much…It was beyond my expectations. Her sessions helped me to gain the confidence, the self-esteem and the energy to make my life more satisfying. Our sessions covered every aspect of my life including goals and visions for personal and professional career paths, weight management, family and parenting relationships.
Thanks to the clarity I gained and the action plan Sviatlana helped me put together, I have established a private business that is more flexible for my young family and satisfying as a career.
Sviatlana provided me with the tools to deal effectively in stressful situations. These tools have been invaluable and have given me the confidence I needed.
The greatest compliment came from a friend who in a conversation noticed that I ‘have renewed energy and motivation’. I was pleasantly surprised that the change in me was so obvious. I feel as if I finally have the life I always wanted. I feel happy and more connected with my friends and family and more at peace with myself.
Working with Sviatlana was inspirational and life transforming. I cannot recommend her highly enough. ‘

‘’I recently used the personal coaching service offered by Sviatlana Starr. I came to her with a severe anxiety problem, and a lack of clarity about a few important issues. After seven sessions with Sviatlana I achieved all the goals that I had defined for coaching. My anxiety levels have reduced significantly, to the point that I now feel in control of my emotions. I made a few important life decisions, after Sviatlana helped me gain clarity on a number of issues. Moreover, Sviatlana has helped me resolve some problems I had regarding sleep, my eating habits, and exercise. Sviatlana also helped me define my values and vision for my life. Overall, my self-esteem has improved.
I felt at ease discussing very personal issues with Sviatlana. She was a very good listener and was not judgmental. I recommend her service because she is easy to talk to, caring and passionate about making sure you achieve your goals; she also provides written feedback after each session and follows up each session with a phone call. Her service is excellent for anyone who wants to make important changes to their life.’’

‘’I contacted Sviatlana Starr for my fear of public speaking. I was promoted to a new role in my company, which required me to present to new groups of people quiet frequently. In spite of thorough preparation, having notes with me and telling myself that I’ll be fine, I found myself so anxious when I had to speak, that I could not say a word. My mouth was dry, I was sweating all over, my heart was racing… It was horrible! I tried different herbal medicines to calm my nerves down, but that didn’t help. This is when I approached Sviatlana. We had 4 hypnotherapy sessions in total, and as a result I feel confident now and excited when I present to groups of people. It is like a different button now gets switched on in my brain before presentations. Recently, my boss was sitting at one of my presentations and after I finished, he came up to me and complimented on my confident performance! If you are horrified to do public speaking, I highly recommend to you to work with Sviatlana –she is very professional, non judgemental and passionate to help.’’

" I chose to see Sviatlana for life coaching at a time when I was struggling with making a decision about my future career path.
We had in total 6 sessions and after each session I felt renewed, encouraged and far more self aware.
In my initial 2 sessions I became clear on my purpose in life, my values, my passions and my strengths, that I was not previosly aware of. Sviatlana also identified a number of areas in my thinking patterns that were hindering my growth and were making it difficult for me to fully evaluate my career path.

As a result of issues initially identified by Sviatlana, during subsequent sessions she guided me through some methods which helped me change my unhealthy thinking patterns and as a result improve the way I do certain things . She taught me how to deal with anxiety and stress in my life. It was only after dealing with unhealthy and unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that I was able to set goals for my career path.

I found Sviatlana to be really perceptive about me. As a result of her coaching apart from becoming clear about my career path, I also became a happier mum and a happier person in general-I got more than I expected!
I would recommend Sviatlana to others to help in various areas of their lives, in particular, dealing with stress, anxiety and career issues."

’I had problems understanding who i was and what my role in this life was. I had difficulty cultivating relationships due to my own insecurity and misconceived ideas as to what others thought of me. My own self image was based on false ideas. I struggled specifically with having healthy relationships with close family members.

Through the life coaching sessions with Sviatlana I began to realise that the future is ever changing and we get from it what we choose. Our attitudes determine our reaction to different situations. I also learnt that I needed to identify what I value and to work towards that, so as not to lose track of who I am. I have learnt to cultivate relationships and most importantly learned to listen both to my friends and family. I have also learnt the importance of healthy relationships and honesty.’’
