After a transformative personal experience with hypnotherapy, Pudding Ibrahim founded a thriving practice helping others overcome trauma, pain, and limiting beliefs. Her journey stands as a testament to the human capacity for resilience, healing, and empowered living.
I’m a hypnotherapist specializing in trauma and pain relief, a resilience coach, and a mama of one. After 20+ years of traveling in and out of Singapore, I have finally resettled back here in my fourth decade of life, and I feel so grateful and happy to be back for good.
My last long stint abroad in the U.S. was where I embarked on an unexpected career change and found myself in a line of work I never realized I always wanted to do!
I founded my first award-winning hypnotherapy practice in the U.S., helping people change their habits and beliefs, overcome their fears, and even gave birth to my beautiful daughter using the same hypnobirthing principles I teach my clients.
I had always known I had a purpose to help others in this life—I just never knew what that would look like. I feel very lucky to have found the path to my purpose very organically. I now have a thriving online practice based in Singapore, and I also get to share my knowledge with groups, corporates, and a larger audience on social media.
It’s been a wild "rainbow ride" for sure, and I’m still on it, curious about where this ride is going!
Learning Through Motherhood and Teaching the Power of the Mind
Becoming a mother has been pivotal in my growth and healing as a person. My daughter has become my best teacher, my little guru. Because of her, I learn to be more mindful and emotionally resilient every day. I also feel so much more inspired to manage my thoughts and beliefs in a positive way, as an example to her.
If I could wave a magic wand and add something to what we teach our children in school, it would be this: If you can manage your thoughts and beliefs in your mind, you can be limitless in how you show up in the world.
Transforming Pain into Purpose and Empowering Others to Choose Joy and Resilience
A decade ago, my best friend told me she thought I needed to see a hypnotherapist to change some deeply ingrained behavior patterns I was prone to. By that point, I had done everything else—traditional therapy, self-help books, courses, self-reflection, the whole nine yards.
I was skeptical but, like most of my clients, somewhat desperate after trying everything else. Within three sessions, I experienced a deep healing and release that I had never felt before, and it rocked my world.
I felt like I had to be instrumental in sharing this incredible modality with more people so they could also find relief and live better. That was where the seeds for my rainbow ride were planted, and my path naturally followed that focus afterward.
This ride has seen me explore and embrace all kinds of mind-body approaches and evidence-based tools. It’s allowed me to expand my love for learning and fulfill my purpose of helping people feel better and thrive in this life.
Because we shouldn’t just be surviving—we deserve to thrive. These principles and tools have also helped me through my personal journey and all the ups and downs of the last decade.
My purpose is to empower people to take back their power and agency to choose joy, to choose peace, and to become emotionally resilient individuals who can walk through this life with grace, no matter what.
Harnessing Mindset, Resilience, and Gratitude to Shape a Life of Strength
My ride thus far has been beautiful, but like all things in life, I’ve had challenging moments and transitions. In the last decade, I’ve become a mama, lived in isolation, lost loved ones, gone through a divorce, made big moves, and made some huge mistakes. And I expect these to continue.
What I’ve learned as a guiding principle is that what you think is what you become. It sounds cliché, but in my line of work, I see this in practice all the time, and I see it in my own life.
The one person who limits you the most is YOU. You are shaping your reality by the power of your mind every single second. Once you realize this, things become really interesting.
You always have the power to choose how you want to respond to something or someone. And your mind-body connection is strong. We can harness our thoughts and how we move and exist physically to regulate ourselves and build emotional resilience. These things are game-changers.
Perspective is everything. A dear friend who has had a lifetime of unfortunate things happen—both situationally and health-wise—recently said to me, "Remember that your worst day is someone else’s dream day." When she said that to me, her of all people, it floored me.
Because the truth is, when we look, there is always something to be grateful for, no matter how diabolical things seem.
A gratitude practice should be mandatory for everyone because it is one of the simplest ways to shift your perspective on your life at any given time and neurologically rewire your brain to seek out more things to be grateful for.
Being grateful is one of the key components to being resilient, even in the worst of times.
Releasing Fear, Embracing Worthiness, and Choosing to Change Your Life
Don’t be afraid of your greatness. For the longest time, I held back from doing things because of the fear of failure. It’s incredibly common. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
We’re all worthy of being heard and of greatness. We’re all worthy, period. You’re worthy. So, that thing you’ve been thinking of, that you want to do or change, but it feels impossible—it’s not.
Don’t let an outdated belief, habit, or mindset that may have been put there by you or someone else a long time ago stop you from living the life you know you deserve. Change your thoughts. You really can change your life.
