Dr. Merci Kusel’s journey in medicine spans over 30 years, marked by her unwavering commitment to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges.

As a general practitioner, clinical epidemiologist, and specialist in medical hypnotherapy, she combines her medical expertise with a deep understanding of the human mind to guide clients toward meaningful transformation.

A Journey in Medicine and Beyond

Dr. Kusel began her medical career in Singapore, later moving to Perth, Western Australia, to deepen her training. After earning her PhD at the University of Western Australia, where she studied the environmental causes of allergic diseases in children, she became a leader in clinical epidemiology.

Her global work with organizations like the WHO Collaborating Centre for Children’s Environmental Health and her philanthropic efforts in Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and China have shaped her holistic approach to health.

Recognising the Shift: From Physical Health to Mental Wellness

Over three decades of practice, Dr. Kusel observed a significant shift in her patients' health concerns. Mental health disorders—manifesting as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and dependencies—became increasingly common.

These patterns inspired her to explore the root causes of emotional and cognitive challenges, leading her to delve into neuroscience, neurobiology, and psychoneuroimmunology. Through these fields, she discovered how emotional states influence the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as gut health.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Research shows that individuals experience over 70,000 thoughts daily, with 95% occurring at the subconscious level. These subconscious thoughts profoundly shape our beliefs, behaviours, and decisions.

Dr. Kusel trained under hypnotherapy experts such as Rick Collingwood, Bob Burns, and Marisa Peer to develop tools that access the subconscious and uncover the limiting beliefs often formed in childhood. She uses this understanding to help clients release outdated patterns and create new, empowering ones.

Transformational Hypnotherapy: A Gateway to Renewal

Dr. Kusel's innovative approach combines hypnotherapy with mindfulness techniques, allowing clients to achieve profound shifts in thought, emotion, and behaviour. By addressing the subconscious mind, she empowers individuals to release stress, overcome perfectionism, and find balance in their lives.

Her six-week Transformational Hypnotherapy Program is tailored for high achievers, offering tools to rebuild resilience, align with core values, and reignite purpose.

From Burnout to Balance

Dr. Kusel is passionate about helping clients navigate the complexities of modern life. High achievers, in particular, face unique pressures that often lead to burnout. With her guidance, they identify the root causes of stress and develop sustainable strategies for recovery.

Her approach doesn't stop at alleviating symptoms; it equips clients with the resilience to thrive in both their personal and professional lives.

Whether working with CEOs, athletes, or individuals striving for personal growth, Dr. Kusel’s mission remains the same: to help clients unlock their full potential. Through a blend of science, compassion, and tailored care, she empowers them to embrace a life of balance, purpose, and vitality.
