Mandd Fernando - Hypnotherapist

Hi everyone, my name is Mandd Fernando (pronounced as Man). I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist. My belief is that no one is broken — they have simply experienced negative situations.

In my therapy, I always create a safe and non-judgmental environment. What I do is help you retrain and realign your subconscious mind. We are all products of our past suffering and pleasure; most of these experiences form habits and beliefs that are implanted into our subconscious mind.

“If your conscious and subconscious minds are not aligned, then fulfilling your heart’s desire will be a constant struggle, and living your dream will be next to impossible.” – Dan Brule

From my own life experience — growing up in a broken family and facing temporary blindness that almost led me to end my life — I have come to see others differently. It made me believe that everyone deserves a second chance in life. It is always my honour to be a facilitator in your breakthrough journey, whether it’s for your mental health, personal growth, or professional development.

My message to you is this: seeking help in mental health or personal breakthroughs doesn’t mean you are weak — it means you want to get better, sooner. Imagine adding 1 kg of weight on each wrist every time you experience a negative situation. After months or years, would you still be able to move freely? Though you can’t see the weight, it’s the same invisible burden added to your mental body that drains your mental health.

As part of my work, I’m also involved in corporate wellness workshops, where I share tools to manage insomnia and addiction. These sessions are designed to support professionals in finding calm, clarity, and balance amidst busy, high-pressure environments.

I look forward to being part of your breakthrough journey.
