ABOUT JOANE & MICHELLE GOULDING This is the  Amazing and True Story of How a Mother's Love Began Creating Miracles with SleepTalk. Joane Goulding knew something was not right with her daughter Michelle. For 5 terrible years, Medical Doctors and Specialists had told her that there was nothing wrong with her daughter. Instead. the said that she was an 'over anxious mother!' But Joane persevered. Finally, when they did diagnose Michelle's conditions, they said, "She will never amount to anything." "She will need medication for the rest of her life." "Put her in an institution and forget all about her." Now, instead of being institutionalised, Joane's daughter Michelle: Has a Certificate in Horticulture, Is happily married, And she and her husband own their own home. Against all these odds, how was Michelle able to overcome this terrible start to her life? What was it that would allow her to be a wonderful success? It wasn't magic... It wasn't witchcraft or voodoo... It wasn't a drug break through... It wasn't electro-shock therapy... It wasn't radical medical treatment... It was easy to do and probably something similar to what you and many other parents already instinctively do... THE SECRET IS IN 5 SIMPLE SENTENCES!  When Joane started to say these 5 sentences to Michelle, their lives turned around, so much so, People called the change "MIRACULOUS!" But stop for a moment and consider... If Michelle, who after 5 years of going from doctor to doctor, specialist to specialist and was finally diagnosed with; cerebral palsy, dyslexia, dyspraxia, severe intellectual disabilities, and with an IQ of 45, could achieve all that...  If you could use this same procedure, can you imagine what your child could achieve! What did Joane discover that would turn their lives around?  In a moment I will share with you more on Michelle's wonderful success story and the 'Secret' that will benefit ALL children. (Hint - it is in the power of the mind)   I am a friend of the Goulding family and a very good friend and colleague of Michelle's mother, Joane Goulding. I have known about Joane Goulding for quite some time, and for the last few years have considered her to be one of my very best friends. In fact, it's hard to be a hypnotherapist in Australia and not know about Joane and her late husband Jim. In my practise as a hypnotherapist I deal with many people who been carrying emotional "baggage" from their childhood. In many cases they didn't even know it was holding them back. Sometimes it's parents and what they did or said.  Sometimes it's other adults, or friends, or siblings or just problems in the school yard. It could be real, or a perception or interpretation of an event. It could even be imagined. But when these situations are resolved in their subconscious mind, there is a dramatic improvement in their lives. In fact, I'll bet many people reading this right now will be able to recall an event from their childhood that caused considerable emotional pain. In may have been caused with intent in the playground or inadvertantly by a parent, who may not even have been aware that it happened. But you may still recall the incident and the pain of that moment. Sometimes the incident is long forgotten, but to the subconscious the pain of the event still remains. The subconscious never forgets the pain of the event. Hypnotherapists find that for many people,  the memory of the event itself may be forgotten, but it will impact on how you approach things later on as an adult, affecting their thoughts and decisions without even being aware as to why the fell this way. Self esteem and self confidence are two of the most fragile things on the planet, and curiously, as I have found with many adults, often those who appear to have it all, may have very low self esteem and self confidence hidden behind a veneer or facade of over confidence. Quiet, self confidence is a wonderful thing. Have you ever heard the saying, "Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you!" It has to be one of the greatest lies ever told. Of course being called names hurt, and can hurt a lot. I can think of some names that would get  you a knife in the throat if you said it in the wrong neighbourhood. Sometimes, being called names might not hurt the first time, nor the second, but each time they whittle away at our esteem and self belief. Many times when working with clients I had wondered, 'What could have been done that would have left that hurt behind, back where it belongs, in the past?" How is it possible to nullify those day to day knocks and pains. Then I discovered SleepTalk and the power of Joane's remarkable program As I have become more familiar with it, I have insisted with her that she and I find an easier and simpler way to share these amazing techniques with as many parents as soon as possible. I have developed workshops to take it to as many people as possible. As I also have an interest in the Internet, the idea of this Smart Parenting web site was born. But, let me tell you more about Joane and Michelle's TRUE story. When Joane's daughter Michelle was born everything seemed OK. But, after a short while, Joane started to wonder whether Michelle really was OK. Joane took Michelle to see a range of doctors who all told her Michelle was fine, instead it was Joane fault that Michelle had these problem.However, Michelle was not OK. She was not developing the way a child of her age should. But they continued to say, "There is nothing wrong with your child... she is just slow for her age... don't be such a worrier... she’ll be fine... just give her time...' Joane was desperate to believe the professionals, but she knew her child was not the same as the others. Michelle also knew she wasn't like all the other children and this made her an angry child. It was Joane's love for her daughter that caused her to never give up. Even when they told Joane that she was an over worrying mother! But even though Joane loved Michelle it wasn't enough. She has to do something. No matter how bad Joane felt, she didn't give up searching and then she found the secret which was a single concept. It's not absurd to say, that she realised something so profound, not only could it change your child's life, your families life, and your life for the better, if everybody did it the world would change! Ultimately, it was Joane's professional training, with the help of her late husband Jim, that enabled her to developed the process that gave Michelle such success. But before we go on to that let me tell you something else.   This is a true story of a mum who loved her daughter so dearly, she wouldn't give up. But it was not just a mother's love for her child. It wasn't just a case of perseverance either. Even when the doctors finally realized that sometime mothers can be right, and they found a diagnosis to Michelle's problems, they said that she should put her in an institution. They said that even all she would be good for would be to wash dishes, and they even said she would not be any good for that!. (Well they were wrong!) This is a story of how the process once discovered, continued to be honed and fine tuned over 30 years to make it applicable for all children, not just those with severe problems, but for all children - from the severely disadvantaged, to the gifted, and normal kids, just like mine. So what is the 'secret' to that single concept? UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! I can hear some reading this say, as I have been told in 'real life, "HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST I DON'T LOVE MY CHILD!" Please understand here and now, it was never suggested that you didn't love your child. I'm absolutely sure you do. As much as Joane loves Michelle.  And as I love mine. In fact, most of the parents who use use this process, love their children dearly and only want to increase the love they have. But, consider, what is more important: To be loved? or To believe you are Loved? And have you considered the mysteries of the subconscious mind? But first , before we go there, let's continue with Joane and Michelle. Just consider... Joane and Michelle were having serious problems. Even with her mother's love and care, even when the doctors' finally reached a diagnosis, Michelle was still angry and violent, which was one reason why the doctors said Michelle would need the medication for the rest of her life. This little girl had known she wasn't like the other children, yet the doctors insisted she was normal, and her mother was tell her the same thing, because thats what the doctors told Joane, "and the doctors should know."  But Joane, knew deep in her heart, regardless of what she would tell Michelle or what the doctors had told her, there was something wrong. But even with her mother's love and care, Michelle was not a success, and Joane was at her wit's end, struggling to cope with her daughter. OK, a little bit more about Joane and how she developed her process...  Joane is a Master Hypnotist and was a lecturer and a founder (with her late husband Jim Goulding) of the Academy of Hypnotic Science. But before we go further down this track, here's what The Council of Clinical Hypnotherapists, in Australia had to say about Joane Goulding in their newsletter of November 2006 when she was made a Life Member of the CCH.

As you can see, the eBook goes into some depth. The eBook gives you quite a bit of detail to explain why and how it works. But it is extremely straight forward.   Importantly, this is not an untried process. It has been proven by over 35 years of experience! This is something that  professionals such as psychologists, doctors and hypnotherapists, social workers, nurses have been teaching parents to help their children for years!
