‘Winning’ by Hazel Gale

Multiple National and International kickboxing and boxing champion Hazel Gale started kickboxing at age 25. “I thought I was too old to really achieve anything great but within a couple of years I had won a national title and got picked to represent GB at the World Championships. Sport turned my life around. Having been working in hospitality ever since graduating from CSM, my life was in a bit of a downward spiral, truth be told. The focus demanded by kickboxing helped me to swap a number of very unhealthy habits for a love of sport and I’ve never looked back.”

“I found hypnotherapy during my battle with ME (which was an unfortunate consequence of my commitment to sport) and have now been practicing for almost 3 years.” Gale is now a cognitive hypnotherapist who specialises in sports hypnosis, her sporting experiences underpinning the success of her practice. “By utilising the correct mental state, you could get faster, stronger and develop better reactions and instincts at exactly the moment they’re needed.”

Gale’s list of titles
Kickboxing: WAKO British Full Contact Champion; ISKA European Full Contact Champion and Double ISKA Light continuous and Full Contact World Champion.
Boxing: ABA English Champion, Haringey Box Cup Champion, Hvidovre Box Cup Champion
