About me

Hi, I'm Anne-Lene

I'm Danish, and I've called Valais home for 20 years. I know what it means to arrive somewhere new – to learn the language, find your people and slowly build a life. Today, I support people in finding calm, confidence and inner stability – in English, German or Danish.

Anne-Lene Imboden-Petersen, hypnotherapist

My path

Before becoming a hypnotherapist, I spent more than 16 years in team and customer leadership, as well as internal coaching, at an international company, followed by project management in the insurance sector. What has always interested me is how strongly a person's inner attitude changes the way they experience a situation.

Training & qualifications

  • Certified Hypnotherapist – OMNI Hypnosis International, 2024. In-depth training in clinical hypnotherapy.
  • Birth Preparation with Hypnosis – certificate, HypnoBirthing Schweiz. Specialised training in mental birth preparation, breathing techniques and hypnotic support for expectant mothers.
  • Member, SBVH (Schweizerischer Berufsverband für Hypnose) – the Swiss professional association for hypnosis. Quality assurance and professional exchange with colleagues.

I have also completed specialised training in child hypnosis, pain management, group hypnosis, sports hypnosis and cellular hypnosis.

Languages

I work in English, in German – including Swiss German from Valais – and in Danish, my native language. I also speak French. (Children and teenagers: in German, in person in Gampel.)

How I work

I look at causes, not just symptoms. Symptoms are often the expression of deeper inner tension or unconscious patterns.

With hypnosis, we open access to these levels. You stay aware and conscious the whole time – hypnosis is not a loss of control, but a state of focused attention. My goal is not quick change, but lasting stability.

I work in a structured, clear and goal-oriented way. Children need safety. Adults need stability. High-achievers need inner clarity.

Respect, trust, discretion and an individual approach matter to me. I work without standard programmes and without pressure – every process is as individual as the person who comes to me. Inner stability is the foundation for growth, health and performance.

Important to know: Hypnotherapy does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment or emergency care. If you are in acute distress, please contact a doctor or call the emergency number 144.
