        About the speaker,

        Growing up surrounded by poverty, trauma and an environment where addiction seemed normal could have easily led Juanita to follow that path herself. In fact, she did commence down that path but then hit a crossroad and made the decision to take control of her life, gain freedom and live the life of her dreams. Perhaps growing up in the environment that she grew up in is what drew Juanita to where she is today….working with people to overcome their addictions and any underlying trauma.  Her book Is It A Habit Or An Addiction? Lays out her simple step by step system that has been incredibly effective in helping thousands of clients overcome addiction. 

        Whether they are wanting to break free from food, cigarettes, drugs, gambling or any other addiction..her system works whether there is underlying trauma or if it is only a habit.  As well as working in her Sydney based clinics one on one with clients, Juanita trains and mentors Hypnotherapists running one of the most dynamic, career focussed training courses in Australia.
