How Cate Blanchett Faces Her Flight Fears
Award winning actress Cate Blanchett admits she copes with her fear of flying by holding her breath until the plane levels out. During takeoff she also says she thinks of her family to stay calm. This simple yet personal routine illustrates a practice that allows Blanchett to feel more secure while flying. She uses her breath and the power of visualization.
Practices around travel stem from our deep human need for comfort and security. As human beings we have an innate drive to feel safe.
Therapeutic tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and hypnosis can create simple and powerful personalized practices to provide structure and reassurance, helping to calm the mind and address fear or anxiety.
Hypnosis works to replace fear-driven thoughts with empowering beliefs. EFT offers a simple, practical way to release tension and restore emotional balance through tapping on acupressure points. Used together, they create modern, evidence-based practices that truly support emotional well-being and confidence.
I teach you how to use these powerful techniques on your own and I create personalized tapping and hypnosis recordings using your own words, thoughts and feelings. These simple skills can be used prior to or during your journey.
Imagine stepping onto a plane feeling steady and in control, empowered by your use of tools and infused with words that cheer and champion you during your entire journey. Just like Cate Blanchett, you can create a calming routine that supports you every step of the way. I’d love to explore how to build your own personalized practice so that you open up your world to a new way of being.

How does a fear start ? And what does it have to do with Corgis?
I look around at people boarding the plane. I feel fear. I click my seat belt. I feel fear. The door closes and that means I am trapped. I know I can’t leave now. I feel fear. The plane taxis and accelerates. I feel fear. I wait for turbulence to happen. Sometimes it does .. sometimes it doesn’t. I feel fear as I wait.
These are things that my client said to me when she came to me to help her with her fear of flying. She wanted to take trips - with her husband, her family, her girlfriends. But she was afraid. She acknowledged that she wouldn’t make a hotel reservation let alone a plane reservation - because that act meant that the trip was real. Even thinking about making a reservation gave her emotional intensity. She said that her girlfriends stopped inviting her on girls weekends if the trips involved flying - they didn’t want her to feel bad. Trips to see family far away seemed out of reach because driving would take too many days.
