Hello

I’m Norah Leatherland.

I’m a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Calm Hypno-Birthing Coach, and Simpson Protocol practitioner based in Rotorua, New Zealand.

I’m also currently completing a Counselling degree to deepen the way I support whole-person healing.

My work

Alongside my clinical practice, I’m a certified Virtual Gastric Band Practitioner, helping people navigate emotional eating and create sustainable, long-term change with their weight and wellbeing. I also work with clients experiencing stress and anxiety, offering simple, practical tools that support a lasting sense of calm.

As a Simpson Protocol practitioner, I use a gentle, client-led approach that works at a deep level to clear emotional blocks, trauma, and stress—often without needing to revisit or relive difficult experiences.

My approach

I believe healing begins with reconnecting to your inner compass. Through my work at Inner North, I offer a safe, nurturing space—whether we meet in person or online—where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

Lets connect

If something here resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Whether you’re feeling ready to make a change or just curious about how I can support you, you’re very welcome to reach out.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. We can start with a simple conversation and see what feels right for you.

I offer sessions both in person and online, so you can choose what works best for your space and lifestyle.

Feel free to get in touch or book a session — I’m here when you’re ready.
