Play Your Best When It Matters Most
When the nerves strike, it's easy to feel out of control. Your mind’s racing. Your focus is waning. Self-doubt trickles into your thoughts. That tricky passage is just around the corner and your bow’s starting to shake. Your lip's trembling. Your mouth's getting dry. Tension creeps into your fingers and you clutch your instrument. Heart thumping, It all feels so insecure, so unfamiliar, as if you've never performed before.
But you have years of experience under your belt. You know you've put in the practice. You believe in yourself. You know you belong on stage.
So what's causing you so much stress? ​​​​​
The Key to Transforming Nerves into Flow
Performance nerves feel so debilitating because they interfere with your natural state of flow. Even if your physical ability to perform isn't impaired, your experience and perception of performance feels off, and this can affect self-trust, confidence and enjoyment of performance. This interference is caused by hidden blocks beneath your conscious awareness that act like triggers when you're under pressure. These mind-made patterns are the fuel source for your feelings of insecurity - but the good news is - transforming them is not only possible, it's your key to unlocking consistent flow on stage..
Hi, I'm Christina.
I understand the pressures of performing at the highest level, on not one, but two different instruments. I've played in the world's most iconic concert halls - from Carnegie Hall to the Royal Albert Hall; in front of royalty, on live TV and radio, and recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios. I've performed to arenas of twenty thousand people, and live at the BBC Proms, and I've even rubbed shoulders with Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John and Mick Jagger along the way.
​
The pressure to play your best time after time can be overwhelming, no matter who you are. Where there's pressure, anxiety is never far away - and believe me, I know exactly what it feels like when the nerves take over. The humiliation. The frustration of letting yourself down. The self-blame. The feelings of worthlessness, despite knowing you're more than capable.

Transforming Music Performance Anxiety With Hypnotherapy
​When anxiety crept into my career as a professional musician, I searched everywhere for help. But I soon discovered most help fell far short of what I needed. At best, it masked my symptoms or helped me feel slightly more in control. It became exhausting trying to think my way out of anxiety and endure the constant pressure I put myself under.
Eventually, my gut lead me towards hypnotherapy - something I was curious to try but knew nothing about. Together with my therapist, we located the root cause of my anxiety and reprogrammed my habitual response to fear. It transformed my whole experience of performing and was truly life-changing.
Mind-blown by the results, I decided to qualify as a hypnotherapist to help others unlock that same freedom. I've since worked with countless musicians to transform their performance experience from fear to flow.
