Is Hypnosis Good Enough for You? Because It’s Good Enough for Royalty…
The therapy of choice for royals, performers, and high performers around the world.

Introduction: The Hypnosis Litmus Test
Let’s be honest. When people first hear the word hypnosis, they picture swinging watches, awkward stage shows, or people clucking like chickens. But while most of the world chuckles, high performers quietly get results. Because behind the scenes — from hospital wings to royal palaces — hypnosis is being used to calm nerves, reshape habits, and even manage pain in surgery. The question isn’t: Does it work? It’s: If it’s good enough for them… is it good enough for you? 1. Royal Endorsements: Hypnosis Fit for a Queen |
Queen Mathilde of Belgium
In 2019, Queen Mathilde underwent minor surgery using hypnosis instead of general anaesthetic. The experience helped shine a spotlight on medical hypnosis in Europe, showing the world that mental focus can replace medication — even under the knife.
Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales
Kate used hypnobirthing during all three of her royal births — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. She publicly credited it with helping her stay calm and focused through intense physical experiences. Since then, hypnobirthing has surged in popularity across the UK.
Princess Diana
Reports from former royal staff suggest Princess Diana used hypnotherapy for public speaking anxiety and to cope with emotional distress. As a deeply empathetic and sensitive person, she turned to inner tools — and hypnosis was one of them.
2. Global Celebrities Who Use Hypnosis
Adele — Stage Fright
Before becoming a global icon, Adele struggled with serious stage fright. She used hypnosis to calm her nerves and reclaim control — and went on to dominate arenas around the world.
Matt Damon — Smoking
Matt Damon called hypnosis the “greatest decision I ever made” after using it to quit smoking. He kicked a 20-year habit after just a few sessions.
Tiger Woods — Mental Focus
Tiger was introduced to hypnosis and visualisation as a child to help build concentration and mental resilience. It became a foundational part of his training, alongside physical practice.
Albert Einstein — Problem Solving
Yes, even the father of modern physics reportedly used self-hypnosis to solve complex problems and access deeper states of creativity.
3. So... What Do They Know That You Don’t?
These people don’t settle for fluff. They have:
And still, they choose hypnosis.
Why?
Because it works.
Hypnosis isn’t a magic trick. It’s a way of getting your conscious mind out of the way — so your subconscious mind can do what it’s brilliant at: healing, changing, calming, and creating.
4. The Real Question: Are You Ready?
If royals can use hypnosis during surgery…
If pop stars use it to reclaim the stage…
If actors, athletes, and thinkers use it to perform at their best…
Why not you?
You don’t need a palace or paparazzi. You just need a quiet room, a willingness to explore, and a guide who knows how to help.
