Welcome to Mind-Body-Magic — Clinical Hypnotherapy & Reiki in Dubbo
The Home of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Reiki in Dubbo
Experience rapid life-changing results with me when you begin your healing transformation with an holistic approach to your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being today.
I’m Carol Macrae, and I’d like to invite you to open your mind to new possibilities. I’ve spent more than 40 years helping people to heal their lives, overcome trauma, find their authentic self and live their best life!
I first trained as a Registered Nurse at Dubbo Base Hospital in 1975, and although I am no longer nursing, I have maintained a strong interest in health and well-being throughout my life. I’ve also owned and operated fitness centres for 20 years, and all these qualifications have given me a wealth of knowledge I now share with my clients and students.
In 1998 I began my Reiki journey and became a Reiki and Seichim/Sekhem Master and Teacher in 1999. I was a Director of Reiki Australia for four years and Chair for two years, retiring from the Board in October 2025.
In 2005 I trained as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and completed 5-PATH Hypnosis training in 2007. I am also qualified in NLP, Touch For Health Kinesiology, Theta Healing, Yi Dao, Neuro-Stress Release, Kinetic Shift, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga and other mind-body modalities, and ran fitness centres for 20 years.
After more than 20 years doing hypnosis with clients, I have now become a Hypnosis Trainer, to share this wonderful modality with others.
I have survived breast cancer twice and used Reiki, self-hypnosis, meditation, nutrition and vitamins to deal with the bone cancer I developed in 2008, which thankfully is no longer there. This taught me a lot about the power of the mind and energy medicine to heal the body, and has also given me a greater understanding and more wisdom to be able to help others.
I believe in an Integrative Wellness approach when helping my clients, as I know that everything is connected. Our mind affects our body and our energy. Fix one, and everything else comes back into balance. My goal is to help others heal and feel better FAST.
I’ve helped tens of thousands of clients and students over the years, and I’m very confident that I can help anyone who is willing to do the work to improve their lives. Read about my journey, and take your first step to self-empowerment so you can start living your best life!

“Change Your Mind – Change Your Life!
How I can help you!
- Do you feel like your life is out of control, you’re reactive and always ‘putting out fires’ and just treading water?
- Are anxiety and depression taking over your life? Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?
- Is your life out of balance and you just want to feel like your old self again and bring more peace and harmony back into your life?
- Do you feel like there’s never enough time for yourself, your family and friends because you’re always chasing your tail and feeling panicked and stressed?
- Are you eating, drinking and smoking to distract and fill the void?
- Are you sick of waking up with that disgusting taste in your mouth but you’re still smoking? Have you tried the gum, patches and medication but nothing else has worked?
- Is food controlling your life and you just can’t stop yourself from eating the wrong foods?
- Do you want to lose weight and get in shape to have more energy to do the things you want in life?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re in the right place. I’ve been in business for more than 40 years and been through my own trials, and I am here to help you get back in control of your life, reach your potential and start living your best life.

Clinical Hypnotherapy in Dubbo
Hypnotherapy is a safe, powerful tool used to help clients achieve their goals and bring about rapid change, using the power of the subconscious mind. 5-PATH Hypnosis uses advanced techniques to release outmoded beliefs, habits and patterns, and reach your true potential, to live their best life.
Reiki & Energy Healing in Dubbo
Reiki is a safe, natural form of hands on healing, using life-force energy to clear blockages and promote health & healing on a mental, physical, emotional & spiritual level. Carol also uses several other forms of energy medicine to help clients heal their lives, and open them up to their spiritual nature.
TFH Kinesiology

I have clients in Canada, Ireland, New York, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, and even the Bahamas. What I’ve found is that Hypnosis can work equally as well online as it can face-to-face!
When you are in hypnosis you’ll have your eyes closed, so as long as you can hear me, and I can hear you, you’ll get just as good a result as if you were in my office face-to-face. And it’s easier than that, because people often find that they can relax more easily because they are in the safety of their own home.
All you need is a good internet connection, a device (computer, laptop, tablet or phone) then set it up so that I can see your face and eyes, and we are good to go. It’s a good idea to use earphones so you’ll be able to hear and be heard more easily. Find a place that you won’t be disturbed for the duration of your session, and get ready to make rapid, permanent changes to get the results you want and transform your life, from the comfort of your own home.
When you make your booking on my Bookings Page, you’ll have the option to choose in-person or online. I will then contact you to find out which platform you’d prefer to use, from Zoom, Skype, Messenger Video or FaceTime. Once that’s sorted, you’re on your way to success!
To be honest with you, I once had a woman ring me from Sydney Airport about to fly to Rome, but she was having a panic attack because she had a fear of flying. I asked her to find a space where she wouldn’t be disturbed, and get her husband to keep an eye out. We did the session over the phone, she jumped on the plane and messaged me once they landed, saying it was the best trip she had ever had.
The only thing that limits us is our belief. Anything is possible using the full power of the mind and technology has taken away the limits and opened the door to possibilities!

Testimonial
I highly recommend Carol Macrae. I suffered from severe anxiety and depression for years, and she did wonders for my conditions in a few short sessions.
I can now leave my house without incident. I'm walking my dogs every day, and I've lost 20kgs, which is an added bonus.
So do yourself a favour and go and see Carol. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Carol is a life long healer, heart warrior and trusted friend to me . The most generous, enthusiastic and caring person I know - it’s as simple as that ! Over the decades we have known each other she shows up in a way few others do. She’s helped me heal through my life challenges with her huge heart, soul and lived experience. She’s been there herself, and she gives back to the world with all her authenticity, wisdom and love.

When we have mental/emotional issues in our lives that cause us stress, anxiety, depression, anger and other emotional problems, this often leads to a block in the flow of the energy in our Aura or energy field, our meridians, chakras, and even in our cells.
There are several techniques and methods we can use to clear blocked or stagnant energy and bring about a state of balance to heal mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
- If we use Hypnosis it can clear the mental/emotional block, which is then able to clear the energy blocks and this can clear physical blockages to speed up the healing process.
- If we use Reiki or the other energy medicine techniques, it can clear the energy, mental/emotional blocks and physical blocks.
- Sometimes doing body-work will also clear energy, mental/emotional and physical blocks.
The mind and body are intricately connected. You cannot affect one system without effecting another. This is why lots of different techniques can work, and bring about seemingly miraculous healing.
When energy flows through the mind body system, this brings about a state of true health and harmony and it is what we all come here to do.
