Andrew is now a Trainer at the NZ School of Professional Hypnotherapy, and has added NLP, EFT, SleepTalk and Life Coaching to his growing list of therapy qualifications. He has also launched his brand Not Strictly Tai Chi an Approved Provider of Group Strength and Balance Programs.</div><div>What Of The Future?</div><div>Having spent the first 10 years building the foundations of his business through a focus upon weight loss and habit change, Andrew has now changed his focus toward Strength &amp; Balance</div><div>Strength of Mind</div><div>In the context of Andrew's services, having strength of mind, does not imply being stubborn or wanting your own way all the time. It means having a resilient mind that is able to identify what really matters, let go of whatever is holding you back, is able to create a new you for the future, and able to identify and follow a new path.</div><div>Andrew's new Hypnotherapy protocol &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; will address this </div><div>Balance of Mind</div><div>Whether you are a Post War baby Boomer, Generation X, Y or a Millennial, the reality is that all generations have anxiety and stress</div><div>Balancing the needs of work and life present different challenges for different people. For example, a single person, one parent family and couple have different priorities, but all experience stress within their own context. Andrew's Hypnotherapy, NLP &amp; Life Coaching sessions will empower you to attain and maintain balance of mind.</div><div>Strength of Body</div><div>What the mind conceives, the body can deliver, but only if it is healthy and strong. Andrew's own brand &quot;Not Strictly Tai Chi&quot; has developed over the past decade, and combines elements from traditional, modern and modified tai chi forms, plus mindfulness and gentle exercise. The emphasis is upon replacing unhealthy movement habits with life-empowering new ways of movement, building cardio-vascular strength and musculo-skelatel strength.</div><div>Balance of Body</div><div>Addressing imbalance is not just about reducing trips and falls, although that is part of the process. But also, within the body are vital systems which all need to function synchronously and in balance, in order for health to be maintained. Making small but targeted changes in body movement, proprioreception and centre of gravity, as well as nutritional and exercise habits can have a positive, cumulative effect on your body balance and health. Combining tai chi, personal training and talk therapies, Andrew is able to offer you a full, personalised package </div><div>The Balance of Mind &amp; Body</div><div>In a state of health, your mind and body work together in harmony</div><div>However, it is when your mind and body do not work together in harmony that illness creeps in. This is because all physical activity has a psychological element, and conversely, all psychological activity has a physical element. This is the essence of Yin/Yang</div><div>Andrew can help you to attain and maintain that essential balance of mind and body, through Hypnotherapy, NLP, Coaching &amp; Tai Chi</div><div>=========================================</div><div>LIMITED TIME OFFER</div><div>Andrew's 10th Anniversary Weekend Special on &quot;Enabling Choice&quot;</div><div>Andrew's &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; program consists of 3 consultations</div><div>(1) Letting Go (2) Creating a New You (3) Choosing a New Path</div><div>Each consultation is 90 minutes &amp; usually costs $225 per consult</div><div>For Andrew's 10th Anniversary weekend ONLY, Blog members can book an &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; consultation for only $175 per 90 minutes consult. </div><div>THAT'S A SAVING OF $50 PER &quot;ENABLING CHOICE&quot; CONSULT!</div><div>But wait, there's more...</div><div>At the usual cost of $225 per 90 minutes &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; consult the cost of the full 3 session program would normally total $675</div><div>For Andrew's 10th Anniversary weekend ONLY, you can book either</div><div>(a) Book and pay for a single 90 minutes &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; consult focusing on either Letting Go, or Creating a New You or Choosing a New Path, for only $175 per consult</div><div>or</div><div>(b) Book and pay for all 3 &quot;Enabling Choice&quot; consults for just $450</div><div>That means you get each 90 minutes consult for just $150 each!</div><div>Note: This offer is available to Site and Blog members ONLY from</div><div>9am Saturday 9th Feb 2019 &amp; ends 9pm Sunday 10th Feb 2019</div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>New Tai Chi Class To Open 13th Feb</title><description><![CDATA[My new Tai Chi Class starts Wednesday 13th Februaryand then every Wednesday thereafterVenue: St Hilda's Anglican Church, Cruickshank Road, Upper HuttClass runs from 10am - 11am$10 per person per classWe look forward to seeing you thereCall me on 04 388 8818 or 021 153 2508 for more details<img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1259b_96c5f7f45d0346cebc8b61f872601bfa%7Emv2.png/v1/fill/w_546%2Ch_227/d1259b_96c5f7f45d0346cebc8b61f872601bfa%7Emv2.png"/>]]></description><dc:creator>Andrew Hardwick</dc:creator><link>https://www.andrewhardwick.co.nz/single-post/2019/01/15/New-Tai-Chi-Class-To-Open-13th-Feb</link><guid>https://www.andrewhardwick.co.nz/single-post/2019/01/15/New-Tai-Chi-Class-To-Open-13th-Feb</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2019 11:07:11 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div>My new Tai Chi Class starts Wednesday 13th February</div><div>and then every Wednesday thereafter</div><div>Venue: St Hilda's Anglican Church, Cruickshank Road, Upper Hutt</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/d1259b_96c5f7f45d0346cebc8b61f872601bfa~mv2.png"/><div>Class runs from 10am - 11am</div><div>$10 per person per class</div><div>We look forward to seeing you there</div><div>Call me on 04 388 8818 or 021 153 2508 for more details</div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Andrew Hardwick</title><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/8cc4f1f4e31e4accb3ac247380370ec1.jpg"/>]]></description><dc:creator>Andrew Hardwick</dc:creator><link>https://www.andrewhardwick.co.nz/single-post/2018/12/24/Merry-Christmas-and-a-Happy-New-Year-from-Andrew-Hardwick</link><guid>https://www.andrewhardwick.co.nz/single-post/2018/12/24/Merry-Christmas-and-a-Happy-New-Year-from-Andrew-Hardwick</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2018 10:30:14 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/8cc4f1f4e31e4accb3ac247380370ec1.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/7f50157457964efcbeefdc46ef08200c.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/b8f59936bca340a09b8d5b1d907ad83e.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c3b079e606a4ec698424b0168e6e456.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/46deb5bdc1d3414885b363bc10ab35ee.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/544ca47fd869233939531eb05b98c6f9.png"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/597d3f7b6e63d05e510c8e7008523bb1.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/22ec77130eed63f8b51d9c0b6d084e70.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/ce6919db96a2bf13034cea3b10e72f19.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/3c05d0352cfb485b9a5f3cb67bc63342.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/38ad1b67d28a46fcabe04b585ca08eb2.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/287dc76c6d564b329e28d9a365c9c207.jpg"/></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Feeling Flat?</title><description><![CDATA[Avoid the grey days with hypnosis!Some days it's just too hard to get going.

Oh it wasn't always easy, no. Truth is, there were ďays when those hearing aids were painful to wear, they didn't fit and they hot me down. But after a few trips to the Audiologist I was happy and now my world is so much better! </div><div>In fact, my world has expanded and I now hear the world differently, as well hearing a more abundant amount of the wonderful sounds within it. Our beloved cat, Gamora, surely has the most relaxing purr I the Universe, and our gorgeous dog, Nyota, wags her tail so quickly it sounds like a helicopter raring to go! </div><div>This whole experience has served to remind me about you, and your own battles with change. For me it was vanity that stopped me admitting I needed help with my hearing, even when loved ones were telling me, for my own good. </div><div>Maybe your loved ones are telling you about something you could change, like how much you drink, eat, smoke or gamble, or how much pain you needlessly tolerate every day? Maybe you're finding excuses like I did? Excuses not to change</div><div>Like I said, one day my practical head took over, and then my world changed. Maybe you're like me? We change when we are ready to change, because at the end of the day, that's the right time to do it. Oh, but when we change, then BOOM! The world expands and there is so much more to enjoy about it!</div><div>My world expanded when I overcame the habit of listening to my vanity, and I was rewarded by hearing sounds I haven't enjoyed for years! How will your world expand when you overcome a habit that has held you back? What will you gain by changing a habit?</div><div>I hope one day you let me help you find out</div><div>p.s. Yesterday I took my Audiologist's advice again and bought a hat to protect my ears.
