Leila Gardiner – Hypnotherapist Reigate Surrey

My Story

I began my career in the NHS as a diagnostic radiographer before specialising in pregnancy and gynaecology ultrasound. That medical background gave me a deep, science-rooted understanding of how the mind and body are connected — and how profoundly one affects the other.

It was my own personal experiences that set me on the path to hypnotherapy. After birth trauma during the delivery of my first son, I discovered the extraordinary power of hypnotherapy and went on to have a profoundly calm and empowered second birth. That transformation was life-changing.

Later, I used those same skills to help my father — a lifelong pack-a-day smoker — become a true non-smoker. He remained smoke-free for the last decade of his life. His legacy lives on in my FULL STOP smoking cessation method.

Today, I combine 20+ years of medical knowledge with clinical hypnotherapy and NLP coaching to offer a genuinely holistic, evidence-grounded approach to wellbeing.
