WA STATE REPORT
Western Australia had its AGM on May the 7 th and it was great to see Mailin Colman again in the West. It
was also wonderful to see how well she has taken to the Role of President. I knew she would. I would also
like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Executive and Committee and Lyn Robinson [who due
to personal reasons had to step down as SEO during the year], for all the time and effort they have put
into their respective roles. It has made my transition into the position of SEO so much easier. I would also
like to thank in advance the incoming Executive and Committee for taking the leap and donating their time
and effort to further advancing the cause of AHA in WA.
After our AGM and Mailin’s Q&A session, Joshua Hawkes presented us with a very informative workshop
on Psychological Critical Incident Management. Joshua is an experienced and knowledgeable facilitator
is very down to earth and interacts well with his audience. Overall the workshop was well received by
attendees who found the presentation interesting and well covered. Although most attendees admitted
little experience in the topic they indicated that it was important to Clinical Hypnotherapy.
Our next workshop will be held on Sunday the 7 th of August.
The guest speaker will be Peter Smith. Peter is the author of Quantum Consciousness and Creator of the
Quantum Consciousness Experience. Please watch your email inbox for the WA workshop flyer so you
can receive more information on what Peter promises to be an interactive experience. I look forward to
seeing you all there and supporting the WA branch of the AHA.
Kind Regards

South Australia State Executive Officer Report – AGM 2016
We held our first official AGM for a couple of years this year, and I am happy to say that we will now be
functioning as a productive chapter of the AHA from 2016 onwards. We currently, after renewals this year,
have 47 members in SA – 9 students, 23 Professionals and 15 Clinical.
Our first workshop for the year was presented by Jan Sky is ESI (Executive State Identification), a
Mapping Tool developed from ego state personality theory. It has evolved from the work of Freud and
Federn, making its way into the current day counselling and coaching environments.
In July of this year, we are lucky enough to be holding the National AGM. This is a first for us in Adelaide
and we are pleased and excited to host this very special event.
We are planning another Workshop on the 17th September, where we will introduce two of our members
who have exceptional knowledge and talents in Hypnotherapy.
Our final workshop for the year will be in November, and we have secured Shelley Stockwell from the US
to present a half-day workshop for us as she travels around the Nation. The other half-day is open to
having another one of our SA talented therapists take us through some of their professional expertise.
