My Background
Before becoming a full-time hypnotherapist, I earned a Ph.D. in natural sciences and worked in research and development.
My scientific background shaped a pragmatic and evidence-based mindset, which now blends seamlessly with the art of hypnosis.
For over two decades, I’ve lived an international life — in Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands — and understand the challenges faced by expats, professionals, and parents balancing multiple roles.
I currently work in The Hague, Wassenaar, and online worldwide.
How Hypnotherapy Changed My Life
Hypnotherapy first fascinated me because it confirmed what I always believed — that every human mind holds immense healing and creative potential.
Through hypnosis, I personally:
Resolved the psychological root of an autoimmune condition, supporting my remission
Recovered from burnout and restored my energy
Overcame fear of flying
Boosted self-esteem and emotional resilience
Strengthened personal and professional relationships
Drastically improved sleep and inner peace
These life-changing experiences inspire my dedication to helping others create their own transformation.

Problem Solved at Its Root — I Feel Reborn
I had a 5-session hypnotherapy program. I learned so much from it and got so much out of it! Olga tackles the problem at its root, which turns it into an opportunity for growth. The home exercises were also very helpful — I feel reborn!

Unique Experience and Success
What a beautiful experience. It is a challenge for myself to find someone to work with that can connect with my energy. Olga was not only successful with honoring my energy, but successful in leading me through some things in my life that many therapists over many years were unable to do. I can’t recommend New Empowered You enough. Safe, high value services. Thank you Olga. xoxo

Breakthrough towards Motivation and Commitment
Olga helped me with long-standing issues of motivation and commitment. She is really warm and empathic, so easy to talk to and she quickly grasps the underlying causes. The change I wanted began to happen from the first session of working with her, and is still continuing several weeks later. Thank you Olga!

Deep Serenity and Trust
I turned to Olga because I know how comprehensively trained she is and, more importantly, how compassionate. In my hypnosis session with her, she not only helped me to recognize the connections to my problem, but also to take a new perspective and make peace with the issue. Since then, I have been filled with deep serenity and trust. Thank you very much, dear Olga, for this wonderful experience 💖

Long Desired and Needed Breakthrough
I am 32 years old and I have been treating a nervous breakdown for 10 years. Diagnosis: recurrent depressive disorder. I was seen by the best psychiatrists, took the latest antipsychotics, recovery was progressing, but very slowly. At the same time, I was looking for different specialists who could help me. 10 years later, on the Internet, I found Olga, a hypnotist, a coach of the highest category. Having told my story, Olga said that I could improve with the help of hypnotherapy. I was incredibly happy to hear this. After the session of hypnotherapy, my condition improved and is now stable. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Olga, first of all for the professional help in my difficult case. I would like to say that Olga is not only a specialist in her field, but also a wonderful, sensitive, kind person. I recommend her.
P.S. Olga, thank you very much for the work you have done, for your kindness, responsiveness and professionalism.

Completely Different Perspective on My Life
I was very fortunate to be able to speak to Olga once. Although our meeting took place online, Olga’s support worked wonders for me.
Olga’s voice is incredibly soothing and her voice sounds very calming.
During our only meeting, she was able to give me such great tips and advice that since then I have had a completely different perspective on certain things, my life and my habits. Thank you very much.

Immediate Results
I can recommend Olga to everyone! Olga is very sweet, professional, and pleasant to listen to. Her hypnotherapy method is very good and immediately showed results.
The audio meditation still helps me daily.

From Being Depressed to Feeling Empowered, More Positive and Focused
I contacted Olga a few months after I had stopped taking the medications which I was prescribed to get through a period of depression. I often felt sad, helpless, and incapable. I wanted her to help me to continue without medications, boost my self-esteem, and ultimately help me to get more focused on my priorities.
After the first introductory session, I thought I would only go for the hypnotherapy session but Olga proposed to combine the hypnotherapy session with the coaching sessions and I am very glad she did.
Few days after the hypnotherapy session I felt something had positively changed in my way to experience what had happened to me in the past 2-3 years and the way I looked at the future i.e. empowered, more positive about my future, and more focused.
The coaching sessions which followed helped me to become aware of what was happening and very important for me to learn from Olga some simple techniques which I can keep using when I feel the need for.
A couple of months after the last follow-up session, I can confirm that I do not feel any need to go back to medication. I highly recommend her. Olga is very professional, very structured, and at the same time very caring.

From Insecurity to Confidence, Enthusiasm, and Joy
From a client who doubted herself and believed that she could not speak Dutch:
“Dear Olga! I want to say a lot to you, thank you for your magical work!
I am very glad that the information about you came to me at the right time! Together with you, we have done a great job! Every day I enthusiastically write down my daily “accomplishments”!
Yesterday I had my first day of classes at an advanced training course, I confidently introduced (in Dutch) myself and my colleague in front of the audience! I listened with interest and understood the trainer! I asked questions with confidence and curiosity if I wanted to clarify something for myself! I speak Dutch more confidently and faster, I have “opened a conversational portal”.
And I really like all the changes that are happening to me! This is all a real fairy tale! Every night before going to bed I think about what a wonderful day was given to me! In the morning, when I open my eyes, the first thing I feel is a smile on my face!
Olga once again Thank you for your participation in my life!”

From Fears to Being Relaxed, Confident, and Open-Minded
We contacted Olga as our son Tim (11) was facing problems as:
- Afraid about noise, especially loud motobikes/traffic situation
- Afraid to master new situations
- Lack of self confidence
After informing about above issues, Olga invited Tim to a 1 hour therapy appointment.
He was a bit excited about this appointment. When they were ready, Tim was very calm and in balance.Olga recommended, to listen frequently to her records. Tim listened to her records daily.
After 4 weeks we recognized Tim’s behaviour changed.
Furthermore Olga coached Tim every 2 weeks, this was helpful as well.
What changed after the therapy?
- Tim is not afraid about motorbikes anymore; he is now relaxed in the traffic situation
- He is mastering new situations; he changed school recently and is open minded
It was amazing, how Tim changed his behaviour within few weeks.
This method works and helps to change behavior.

From Orthorexia to Self-confidence, Good Appetite and Normal Weight
Before we turned to Olga, my daughter (15 years old) had orthorexia – a clinical picture that not even all doctors recognize. The food has been carefully sorted into healthy and unhealthy. Meat, fish, and eggs disappeared from the menu for ethical reasons. White flour and sugar are taboo. Out of respect for nature and the environment, she stopped eating food that was transported by air…
Of course, weight loss, abdominal pain, and depressive state followed. Due to the bad mood, the appetite for “healthy” food worsened and my daughter continued to decline – a vicious circle.
After hypnotherapy, the mood slowly returned and the certainty that one could integrate the love of the environment and health into everyday life. With increased self-confidence, the appetite got better and better and soon she was back to her normal weight.
I am very impressed with how fast and effective the therapy is and I can only recommend it! Many thanks to Olga!

Tremendous Sense of Relief
I got in touch with Olga with an issue that had bothered me for most of my life and within a few hours, I felt such a tremendous sense of relief that it finally changed.
Olga’s knowledge and compassion are abundant. She skillfully guided me through the scenes from my past that had created the limiting belief and created for me a recording that not only transformed me from the old number but was also so beautifully crafted that I really look forward to listening to it every day.
If you have any problem, I urge you to contact this wonderful and highly skilled woman.

Dealing With Grief: Lifting Weight from Shoulders
I truly recommend working with Olga, it has been a great experience for me. Olga offered such powerful insights into understanding the mind, feelings and thought processes with detailed care and attention to my personal situation.
For the last four years, I have been coping with the grief of losing my mother and the trauma of her terminal illness.
As a young expat in a foreign country, I felt even more alone than ever before, despite a stable network of friends and loved ones.
I consistently worked on myself (with the help of a wonderful psychologist in addition to yoga, sport, meditation and affirmations) but noticed even after years, every little problem or discomfort I faced, be it in relationship or work, my mind always circled back to me feeling stuck, lost and grieving.
This began to manifest itself with growing feelings of insecurity and indecisiveness which made me feel even more stuck and lost.
Olga’s online hypnotherapy session revealed more deep-rooted feelings and how they were triggered by grief.
In her following coaching sessions, I noticed a steadily increasing sense of lightness, as in weight lifted from my shoulders and comfort in understanding myself better. I absolutely love the practical everyday easy to use tools, and I wish I had found her earlier!
Overall I am a happier me with a positive outlook and a great set of new tools and knowledge to fall back on.
Thank you, Olga!

From Depression to a Deep, Embodied Understanding of True, Better Me
Before the first session with Olga, I was in a pretty difficult situation. I was in a deep and prolonged depression, because of some big losses I had experienced three years ago. For those three years I was a stay-at-home mom, quite depressed, jobless, and not even being able to look for a job. I was glad that Olga agreed to work with me.
In the very first hypnotherapy session going through all my life’s most important/difficult events, I experienced a deep, embodied understanding of true, better me. Olga has a special God-given talent to touch people in a very sensitive, loving, and healing way. So, the first hypnotherapy session – was a strong irreversible transformational experience – of true better me.
Transformational Audio Recording recorded by Olga, which I listened to every day, strengthened this experience. Olga’s voice is very unobtrusive, caring, touching – just for you. Following coaching sessions and discussions with Olga, helped me to discern and break from some wrong habits, perceptions that held me back.
After 30 days from the first session I was different, better, lots of energy and ideas, like somebody turned the switch in me. I was not only able to apply to different jobs but, most importantly, after getting job offers, choose the one that best suited my talents and my further perspectives.
I absolutely recommend hypnotherapy and coaching sessions with Olga, because change comes not from reading books, but from deep embodied experiences that hypnotherapy and Olga Willemsen provides. And with Olga, you are in really good hands.

All The Tools To Be Successful in Relationships
A month ago I did hypnotherapy with Olga to create closer relationships. She helped me to get deep into myself and work on myself. Immediately after the first session I already noticed improvements, but after the last coaching session, I was sure that I had received all the tools from her to be successful. She is very knowledgeable and patient. It was well worth it! Thank you for this beautiful experience!

Great Competence in Solving Health Problems
After several health problems and frequent visits to the doctors who could not solve my problems, I found hypnotherapy.
At first, I was skeptical that I could be helped in this way, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
After just one session, my anxiety diminished, and I felt I could understand and control processes in my body.
After just a few weeks I was well again!
Mrs. Willemsen has a very empathetic and calm nature. Through this and her great competence, you quickly gain confidence.
I can highly recommend New Empowered You!

Confidently Moving Forward
Olga is an amazing therapist. She made me feel completely at ease. I had confidence problems. She helped me to understand why I have this problem and now I am able to leave my negative thoughts behind and move forward I am feeling much better. I highly recommend her.
Thank you.

Confidence in Interactions and in Building Relationships
Basically, my issue is that I find it difficult to communicate easily in group situations. I often keep quiet in group discussions, as I don’t think other people will find what I have to say interesting, or funny. Sometimes I will think in my head about something interesting to say, but before I decide to contribute to the conversation, it has moved on. Also often people don’t look at me when they are talking, they look at other people and talk to other people in the group, and I keep trying to understand how others perceive me and whether it’s something I do that puts them off!! It makes this difficult to make social connections.
At work also, I have always found it difficult to build relationships with colleagues and know how to handle certain personalities.
However, even though I wanted to try hypnotherapy, I wasn’t sure it would work because I considered myself to be an introvert, and didn’t think it was possible to change this.
After the session, I quickly started to notice that I found myself more confident in my interactions with others. I noticed I was more spontaneous, and also making more jokes, which is something I never do. I really did feel like I could let go of a lot of things that were holding me back before. I even noticed being more confident in some of my family interactions which is not something I expected. I also noticed people starting to look at me more in group conversations, and that was a revelation to me because I could feel this really was making a difference.
So overall I found hypnosis really helpful, it has really helped me understand how to unlock the confidence in myself. I would thoroughly recommend Olga, she was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, and really encouraged me throughout the whole process.

Getting Out of My Own Way to Success
I would highly recommend working with Olga, I have spoken with, and been doing the work she has set me over about 6 weeks now and the results have been amazing.
Before going to Olga for help I felt stuck in my business, with my levels of confidence and as if I was blocked and unsure why. This was making me feel stuck in many other areas of life and feel stressed and upset.
Olga has been so lovely and caring and really made me realize why I felt so blocked. These blocks have steadily been clearing for me and I feel so much freer and clearer and more confident now.
I feel the work we have been doing has had rapid changes in me and I know now I am getting out of my own way. This would have taken me such a long time, if at all if I had not chosen to go ahead and work together with Olga.
I cannot thank you enough for your time, your care, and the amazing work you do, and the results you have helped me achieve in my life.
