About Mariame Iraki
I believe that each person is unique and can unlock their potential with an optimal mindset, personalised nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle.
My main area of expertise as a dietitian centers around gastrointestinal health, with a specific emphasis on managing food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as addressing conditions like PCOS, weight management, and menopause. To ensure I can best meet the needs of my patients, I have pursued further training in these particular areas.
With years of experience as a pharmacist and a dietitian, I have personally witnessed the profound impact of the mind on facilitating transformative changes, managing pain, and fostering healing. Despite knowing what they need to do, individuals often encounter obstacles rooted in emotions, beliefs, values, memories, habits, and the subconscious mind. These factors significantly influence behaviours and responses to various stimuli, including pain.
My personal journey has led me to experience the transformative effects of clinical hypnotherapy across diverse areas, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and pain management. Motivated by these experiences, I chose to pursue advanced training in clinical hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy.
My goal is to integrate my expertise as a dietitian with the therapeutic benefits of clinical hypnotherapy to provide comprehensive support to my patients. By harnessing the power of the mind-body connection, I aim to help individuals not only to alleviate their symptoms but also enhance their overall health and well-being, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

Hypnotherapy for Chronic Pain Relief
Pain is a protective mechanism designed to prompt behavior changes. When the brain senses something is wrong, it sends warning signals that can cause physical or emotional discomfort. However, pain is subjective and not always an accurate measure of physical injury. Over time, chronic pain can lead to habits such as mood alterations, inactivity, comfort eating, and even panic attacks.
According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), “Pain is an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage.” Unfortunately, millions of people suffer from chronic pain, which can significantly impact their quality of life.
How Hypnotherapy Works for Pain Management
Hypnotherapy has been used for many years to manage various types of pain, including joint pain, IBS, sciatica, and chronic pain from injuries and illnesses. It can be used alone or alongside medication. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice first to ensure there are no serious underlying medical conditions causing the pain.
Hypnotherapy can help change the way clients respond to pain signals, often enhancing the effectiveness of medications by stimulating the brain’s natural analgesic response. In some cases, removing or reducing pain can significantly improve the quality of life, such as with dental pain, phantom limb pain, terminal illnesses, shingles, and post-surgery recovery.
Why Choose Hypnotherapy?
- Holistic Approach: Addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of pain.
- Enhanced Medication Response: Can boost the effectiveness of pain medications.
- Quality of Life: Helps manage pain to improve overall well-being.
