I've had the pleasure of working with Sviatlana, a highly skilled hypnotherapist and professional coach, for several months now, and I must say that our sessions have been incredibly helpful in navigating my personal and professional challenges and goals. Sviatlana's patient and calm demeanour immediately put me at ease, allowing me to open up and share my concerns without feeling judged or overwhelmed.

Our sessions are very effective, and Sviatlana brings a wide range of approaches to the table, including active listening, coaching, and hypnotherapy. She has a unique ability to tailor her techniques to my needs, ensuring that I always feel like I'm receiving the most appropriate and effective coaching support. For example, sending me simple activities to complete (e.g. goals setting, values reflection) and tailored meditations to help me reinforce the benefits beyond our scheduled session.

With Sviatlana's guidance, I've been able to gain clarity on my personal and professional aspirations, and I'm making steady progress towards achieving them at a pace that suits me. Her support has been invaluable, and I can't recommend her services enough. I’ve had several “aha!” moments about life and work thanks to her.

If you're looking for a skilled coach who can help you navigate life's challenges with grace and effectiveness, look no further than Sviatlana. I'm grateful to have found her, and I'm confident that you will be too. Highly recommend!

I originally went to see her because I was dealing with a lot of stress and worry, which was also affecting my gut health. My naturopath referred me, and after just two sessions I’ve already learned some really helpful tools.

She taught me a simple 4-step method to manage stress and worry. It helps me calm down quickly when things feel overwhelming, mainly by coming back to my breathing and grounding myself. Having a clear plan to follow has made stressful situations feel much more manageable and has reduced my anxiety a lot.

The hypnotic recordings from our sessions have also been really helpful. I’ve been using them regularly and they’ve supported improvements in both my mental wellbeing and my gut health.

On top of that, she’s provided practical lifestyle and general dietary guidance to help support my gut and overall health. I’m really glad my naturopath referred me and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, or gut-related issues.

After working with several life coaches and therapists, I often felt stuck gaining awareness of my issues but not knowing how to translate that into real change. Working with Sviatlana has been a breath of fresh air. Unlike traditional therapy that often dwells on the past, Sviatlana’s method is forward-focused and action-oriented. She helps you question whether past patterns are still serving you and empowers you to adopt new beliefs that actually support the life you want to create.
Whether it's in career, relationships, health issues or personal growth, her practical tools have led to real, measurable shifts in my behaviour and, consequently, and in my life. I deeply appreciate her and would highly recommend working with her if you’re ready to start making the changes you’ve been wanting to make but haven’t known where to begin or how to move forward.

I have had an incredible experience in my 6 sessions with Sviatlana . Her calm and welcoming demeanor has meant that every session I feel comfortable, safe and heard. What I have appreciated most about my experience is Sviatlana’s keen attention to detail, as well as her ability to make connections between my physical, social and emotional wellbeing. I now have a very different outlook on life and myself as a person because of how we reworked my thoughts and challenged my insecurities. I initially started seeing Sviatlana to do gut related hypnotherapy, but after delving deeper she discovered that there were other important things that caused me anxiety and problems in life. I am immensely grateful for how easy Sviatlana is to communicate with, I never feel hesitant to share with her.

I recently completed three sessions with Sviatlana Starr from Light Your Star, during which she recorded personalized hypnosis sessions for me to listen to daily to help manage my health anxiety. I have been listening to these recordings every day and have found them very helpful in reducing my anxiety symptoms. I appreciate Sviatlana’s professionalism and the calming quality of her work, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking support with anxiety. Hayley

My experience with Sviatlana has been life changing. I was seeing her for gut hypnotherapy sessions and then for life coaching. It really did change my life! I’m now able to do things which in the past my phobia of vomiting and other anxieties would stop me from doing. Now I am living a free confident life. Thank you, Sviatlana!

I had a fantastic experience with Sviatlana at Your Star for hypnotherapy to stop vaping. The results were truly remarkable, and I couldn't be more pleased. Sviatlana's approach is both professional and compassionate, making the entire process smooth and comfortable. Her expertise and dedication are evident in her work, and I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking effective and supportive hypnotherapy. Thank you, Sviatlana, for helping me make a positive change in my life!

Back in March last year, I faced several mental breakdowns in a row, prompting me to seek help. After thorough research, I chose to work with you because of your extensive experience in supporting clients like me. On the outside, I appeared mature, confident, and independent. However, deep down, I felt fragile, often beating myself up, struggling with personal relationships, and feeling lonely.
I’ve worked with several therapists before, but most were great listeners without necessarily providing the guidance I needed. You, however, bring a balance of attentive listening and thoughtful, effective strategies and tools. Your hypnotherapy sessions, combined with our life coaching/psychotherapy sessions, have been instrumental in reshaping my perspective of myself. You've helped me establish boundaries between my self-worth and the opinions of others.
For the first time, I felt comfortable sharing the deep-seated thoughts I’ve carried for decades—thoughts that had weighed heavily on my mental space. Somewhere along the way, perhaps halfway through our sessions, I began to see the light. I started to feel lighter and mentally clearer. Most importantly, my view of myself has transformed. I’ve developed a strong boundary, ensuring that my mood is no longer so easily swayed by what others think of me. Now, I’m enjoying life more fully, handling conflicts with confidence and strength instead of falling into habitual avoidance.
2025 has started on a positive note, and I couldn’t be more excited about this year. I look forward to continuing our work together, embracing the opportunities and challenges that come my way.
Thank you for all your support in 2024. Here’s to making 2025 even better.

The sessions with Sviatlana have been enlightening and practical in my life. The hypnotherapy recordings that have been provided after every session have allowed me to re-discover my self- worth and given me the tools to understand my thoughts and feelings and deal with them in a constructive manner.
Within a short period of time, I feel that I have a better understanding of who I am and what I want to achieve in my life, I feel more confident and it has definitely given me a fresh perspective on life and my past experiences.
Sviatlana is a kind and inspiring life coach. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to heal their inner child and let of go of their insecurities and limiting beliefs.

A friend of mine initially recommended me to see Sviatlana as she had achieved great results with her own health issues. I had a fear of vomiting that I wanted to address and regularly suffered from nausea because of it (go figure!). It was starting to really impact my life in a way I was ashamed of. Before seeing Sviatlana, I was seeing a psychologist/EMDR therapist before Sviatlana who I feel didn't put me on the right path and failed to address the root cause of the phobia. However, Sviatlana, within about 2 sessions, really got to the root of the problem with me and opened my eyes to an almost phobia-free world. She hit the nail on the head and really guided me on how to deal with the anxiety and panic attacks head-on. I now suffer very little panic attacks and should anxiety ever start to manifest, I can actually control my responses and calm myself down before it ever happens. I have Sviatlana to thank for it all and I'm so grateful for her!

The sessions with Sviatlana have had a profound impact on my life. These sessions have helped me to better understand myself and given me tools to deal with my negative emotions and baggage from the past in a much more constructive way.
I am now feeling very optimistic about my life.

Engaging in hypnotherapy/life coaching sessions with Sviatlana Starr over the last 6 months has been a transformative experience for me. Her expertise in helping me build confidence at work, manage stress, cultivate healthier thinking patterns, and make positive choices in my eating habits has had a really positive impact on my life.
Sviatlana's compassionate and understanding approach has created a safe and supportive space for me to explore and address various aspects of my life through hypnotherapy/life coaching. This unique approach, coupled with her insights, has not only helped me navigate challenges but has also provided me with a fresh perspective on the world. I am genuinely thankful for the positive transformation she has facilitated in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic guide, particularly through the powerful tool of hypnotherapy, on their journey to personal growth and well-being.

I saw Sviatlana primarily to help me with IBS which I’ve been suffering from for years. I was amazed by how quickly her hypnotherapy changed that for me. On top of that, her sessions gave me super practical strategies to navigate my wide range of anxieties from social to obsessive compulsiveness, and to make me a calmer person overall.

Sviatlana is a skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive professional. She helped me identify and work through complex negative thought patterns and allowed me to see my behaviours and reactions in a different way. The sessions were personally challenging, but the benefits and realisations were apparent from the very first appointment. Sviatlana has helped me get back on a more positive track in life, and with more practice, I feel confident that I have learned many skills to help me achieve my goals. She has a no-nonsense approach, articulates ideas very clearly, and provides helpful insight. If you are struggling with a low self-esteem, burnout, negative outlook on life or a lack of direction, I would recommend booking in.

I am someone who has struggled with generalised anxiety disorder and social anxiety since I was a young child. I had researched, tried medications and been to many psychologists to try and help me lead and live a normal life.
I have tried so many different strategies but nothing stuck.
I have had 4 sessions with Sviatlana so far and I have made a significant progress. I was someone who was afraid to even take a walk on my own or to go out with friends to a new place, and she has given me the strength and tools to be able to walk on my own, and socialise freely with my friends going out with them to new places.
It has been a long journey for me but I feel grateful that I have found someone who is patient and takes the time to explain the tools to me and how I can best apply them to help myself and my situation. I have Sviatlana Starr to thank.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Sviatlana Starr (Light Your Star), and my experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Despite my initial scepticism about the effectiveness of virtual sessions, Sviatlana has proven that her expertise transcends any barriers posed by remote interactions.

What sets her apart is her unique ability to blend various techniques and create a truly personalised approach to address her clients' concerns. From the very beginning, Sviatlana made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. She attentively listened to my concerns and seamlessly integrated a mix of hypnotherapy and other techniques to craft sessions tailored to my specific needs.

After several online sessions with her, I have noticed a remarkable shift in my mindset. The limiting beliefs that once held me back have been replaced with newfound confidence, empowerment, and control over my thoughts and emotions.

If you are considering hypnotherapy for any reason, I wholeheartedly recommend Sviatlana Starr. Her expertise, commitment, and genuine care for her clients, along with her innovative and personalised approach, make her an exceptional practitioner in the field. The fact that she is able to provide such powerful results through online sessions is a testament to her skill and passion for helping others.

Thank you, Lana, for all your help and support throughout these past few weeks!

Sviatlana has allowed me to re-write my life story by educating and implementing skills and a confident trusting mindset in empowering me the opportunity to live my best life, in thriving not just surviving.

Sviatlana is able to take my jumbled and overwhelmed mindset that did and didn't make sense and simplified my confusion.

With her expertise, she was able to summarise, simplify and clarify. Her wisdom and insight allowed me to clearly understand. She always gave me the tools that I needed to create a change in my perception (old detrimental programming to new beneficial one) through her psychoanalysis and hypnotherapy.

In my case, her hypnotherapy sessions have allowed me to overcome all my challenges and anxieties, that 20 years of regular seeing other psychologists, psychiatrists and soul therapists haven't been able to shift.

I can't recommend her services enough to anyone who has suffered trauma, ptsd, anxiety, feel overwhelmed, any type of relationship challenges, phobias, don't know how to control there emotional response or can't change a stubborn habit.

Sviatlanas 1 year of regular therapy for me has surpassed 20 of all my past therapies combined. My life has completely changed that I now am studying hypnotherapy, a living example of possibility.

This is my first year in my 47 years that I am finally living therapy free, with a focused intentional, consciously aware mindset. My mind has shifted from feeling like daily tornado storms spiraling out of control to now a vivid green open meadow with blue skies.

Sviatlana has shifted and empowered me the tools to shift and change any challenge that comes into my life.

I still am pinching myself that, with Sviatlanas guidance, and my desire for change and determination, this IS my dream life and its mine which nobody can take away from me, unlike other things in life.

Total gratitude.

I went to Sviatlana for impulsive eating, and have walked away having explored so much more. Understanding my biological, psychological and cognitive processes that lead to the eating has been extremely empowering. I feel able to affirm my boundaries and prioritise my energy, which has in turn assisted with my impulsive eating, and self-esteem. Thank you.

I suffered from the anxiety and phobia of vomiting since I was a child. I worked with a psychologist for 10 sessions on it and with a psychiatrist. The only thing that helped a bit was the medication that the psychiatrist put me on. It made anxiety less, but
It didn’t help me get rid of the phobia. A Friend of mine recommended me to see Sviatlana Starr. I had 2 sessions of hypnotherapy with her and since then my phobia is gone. I am going now places enjoying myself without the anxiety that I could vomit. I am really impressed that 2 sessions is all it took for Sviatlana and I am grateful for her help.

Before I met Sviatlana, I was a mess. Confused, anxious, tired, stressed and I just couldn’t pin point what the underlying cause was, in my mind it was everything.. A few sessions with Sviatlana and I noticed the difference straight away. I understand the what, the why and mostly she helped me with the how.. she has changed my relationships with my kids, my family but mostly with myself.. I am so grateful to her.

I was tense about my future, as I took a challenge to come to Australia, a new country, on my own. I was looking for a personal coach to help me with my emotional state of mind and I came across Sviatlana...She is a very remarkable person with a great understanding of people's behaviour. I had in total 5 sessions with her and I must say she gave me a remarkable insight into life, how things tend to fall and how to get up again through understanding yourself and without pushing yourself hard. To you who reads this, I would like to recommend her and I can guarantee that you will 'Light your Star' through working with her!

I started with Sviatlana after going through a hard breakup with my partner of over 5 years. After the first session I already felt so much better and it only took me 3 sessions before I felt myself doing a complete 180 on my outlook on life! Sviatlana helped me so much through a range of exercises and her knowledge is unmatched, I learnt a lot not only about myself but also about us as humans throughout my sessions with her and I couldn't be more grateful for what she has helped me to achieve in only a few sessions! I highly highly recommend her :)
