Russell established his practice - Synergy Within in 2001 after trading life in the corporate world to follow his passion for helping others achieve their full potential.
He trained as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with the Australian College of Hypnotherapy in Sydney, and has helped people from all walks of life achieve the goals they desire. As time has passed, Russell has advanced his skill set to specialise in the area of fertility, pregnancy, birth, and post partum care. He is a fully accredited member of the Hypnobirthing Institute, and the HypnoFertility Foundation. He was also the first clinical member of the Australian Hypnotherapy Association in South Australia, and continues to be actively involved in developing the AHA as Australia’s peak body for hypnotherapists.
As a trained fertility consultant, Russell is able to guide couples through their journey of becoming pregnant, whether they are letting nature take its course, or utilising assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF. The mind has a major influence in the body when it comes to falling pregnant, therefore understanding how the mind works, and how to get it working for you should be a major consideration for those who are experiencing “fertility issues”.
As a HypnoBirthing certified educator, Russell has had the pleasure of being able to assist many mothers and their birth companions to embrace the joy of natural childbirth that their bodies are perfectly designed to achieve - no matter where they decide to have their babies.
In 2008, Russell and his wife Sarah welcomed their very own daughter into the world utilising the benefits of Hypnobirthing. It was an amazing calm, relaxed experience for mother, baby and father. He hopes that one day all birthing mothers will embrace the joy of allowing their birthing to play out in the same calm, relaxed, and comfortable manner.

Rona established her practice – Intrinsic Outcomes with a view that it is not enough to treat the symptoms. The WHOLE person and their individual and unique circumstances must be taken into consideration. The relationship between the body, mind and spirit is of the utmost importance, and Rona uses a combination of therapies to incorporate this philosophy. By combining a practical, common sense approach with new ideas and theories Rona believes the body; mind and spirit can be healed, renewed and enhanced.
Rona is also delighted to be able to offer HypnoBirthing to mothers and their birthing companions to enable them to take back control over the birth of their children. Using self hypnosis and the understanding gained about childbirth, women and their birthing companions will learn to enjoy the joy of a safe, comfortable and satisfying birthing experience.
