What is Access Bars®?
Access Bars is a gentle wellbeing practice involving light touch on 32 points around the head.
The session is designed to provide a quiet, deeply relaxing experience where there is nothing you need to analyse, explain or achieve.
You can simply lie back, receive the session and allow yourself to slow down.
Many people choose Access Bars when they feel mentally overloaded, emotionally full or unable to switch off and want support that does not require extensive talking.
Access Bars is offered as a complementary relaxation and wellbeing service. Individual experiences vary.
What happens during an Access Bars® session?
So often, we try to create change by thinking harder, analysing themselves or repeatedly attempting to solve the same issue. Access Bars offers a different experience.
We will begin with a brief conversation so I can answer any questions and help you settle into the space. You will then lie comfortably while I gently work through the Access Bars points around your head.
There is nothing you need to concentrate on or achieve. You can remain quiet, talk if you wish or drift off to sleep. The session is calm, unhurried and designed to give you space away from the usual pressure to think, respond or perform.
At the end, you will have time to sit up slowly and notice how you feel before leaving. No special preparation is required. Simply arrive as you are.
What might you notice after a session?
Everyone responds differently. For some people, the experience is simply beautiful and deeply relaxing. Others describe feeling lighter, clearer or more open afterwards. Every experience is individual, and there is no particular result you need to create.
Some clients shared that after their sessions they felt:
-
a greater sense of calm
-
less mental noise for a period of time
-
feeling more rested or grounded
-
a softer, less pressured feeling in your body
-
a clearer sense of perspective
-
feeling more able to pause rather than immediately react
Some people notice a difference after one session, while others come back for 5 or more sessions.
Alex
I decided to try it because I struggled to relax to fall asleep. After one session, I slept through the night for the first time in months.
Lisa
I was made redundant from my job and I could not overcome anxiety after starting a new job! After our sessions with Natalia I felt lighter, calmer, and deeply relaxed. It was like pressing a reset button!
Annie
I felt extremely relaxed after my first session now after 5 sessions I feel much more ready to deal with all the changes in my life.
Meet Your Sydney Access Bars Practitioner
I am Natalia, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Access Bars Facilitator offering in-person sessions in Balmain and Five Dock. My broader work integrates clinical hypnotherapy, RTT-informed work, solution-focused coaching, transformational breathwork, meditation and mindfulness. Across these approaches, my focus is helping people move from inner pressure and overthinking towards greater calm, clarity and self-trust.
I discovered Access Bars after someone I knew experienced a session and was surprised by how deeply it affected her. Seeing the change in her made me curious to understand the process for myself.
As I explored Access Bars further, I became interested in its approach to the thoughts, emotions, beliefs and energetic patterns we may continue to carry. This connected naturally with my existing work, which supports change through the subconscious mind, nervous system and body rather than relying on conscious thought alone.
I see it as creating space within your system. Space to step away from familiar mental noise, loosen your grip on what you have been carrying and become more open to a different way of feeling or responding. That is why I chose to include Access Bars within my work.
Access Bars or hypnotherapy: which is right for you?
Both services can support a desire for greater calm, but the experience and intention are different.
Choose Access Bars when you want:
-
a gentle, hands-on relaxation session
-
little or no talking
-
time to rest without actively working through a problem
-
support that feels restorative and low demand
Consider hypnotherapy when you want:
-
to understand and change a recurring emotional or behavioural pattern
-
focused work around anxiety, self-doubt, confidence or an internal block
-
a personalised process involving subconscious beliefs and emotional triggers
-
practical integration and support beyond a relaxation session
If you want to work directly with the patterns beneath overthinking, anxiety or self-doubt, you may prefer to explore Hypnotherapy in Sydney.
If what you need right now is somewhere to stop, rest and receive, an Access Bars session may be the more appropriate place to begin.
Frequently asked questions about Access Bars
How much does an Access Bars session cost in Sydney?
An Access Bars session with Natalia costs $150. Appointments are available in Balmain and Five Dock in Sydney’s Inner West.
How long is an Access Bars session?
Your appointment lasts 45 to 60 mins. This includes a brief conversation before the hands-on portion of the session and time to reorient afterwards.
What happens during the session?
You lie comfortably while Natalia gently works through the Access Bars points around your head. There is nothing you need to concentrate on or talk about. You can simply relax and receive the session.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No special preparation is required. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive as you are.
You may wish to allow a little unhurried time after your appointment rather than scheduling something demanding immediately afterwards.
Do I have to talk about personal issues?
No. We will have a brief conversation before the session, but you do not need to describe personal experiences or talk through a problem. You can remain quiet during the hands-on portion of the appointment.
Can I book one session, or do I need several?
You are welcome to begin with one session. There is no obligation to purchase a package. Some clients book an appointment occasionally when they want restorative time, while others choose to return according to their preferences.
Is Access Bars suitable if I have anxiety or trouble sleeping?
People sometimes book Access Bars because they find it difficult to switch off and want a calm environment in which to relax. However, it is a complementary wellbeing service rather than a treatment for anxiety, insomnia or another health condition. Please consult an appropriately qualified health professional if you need medical or psychological care.
Is Access Bars the same as hypnotherapy?
No. Access Bars is a hands-on relaxation practice. Hypnotherapy is a more focused therapeutic process that can be used to explore and change underlying beliefs, emotional responses and behavioural patterns.
Is physical touch involved?
Yes. Access Bars involves light touch around the head. The process will be explained before the session, and you can ask questions, express a preference or withdraw consent at any time.
Where are sessions held?
In-person Access Bars appointments are available in Balmain and Five Dock, Sydney.
You will receive the exact location and arrival information when booking.
Can Access Bars be done online?
No. Because Access Bars involves light physical touch, sessions are offered in person.
If you need an online option, online hypnotherapy is available across Australia and internationally.
