A BUSINESSWOMAN from Bangor-on-Dee is celebrating after winning a Prestige Award.

Emma Harding has won a Prestige Award for Hypnotherapist of the year 2020/21 for Central England for her business, Utopia Hypnotherapy and Hypnobirthing.

Based in Bangor-on-Dee, Emma also runs a clinic every Tuesday at the Rainbow Centre in Penley.

The Corporate Livewire Prestige Awards recognise small and medium-sized businesses that have proven to be the best in their market over the past 12 months and Emma says she is delighted to receive the award.

"Hypnotherapy, when used correctly, can have remarkable results, enabling our conscious and sub-conscious mind to become aligned and make powerful changes to the way we think and feel about ourselves," said Emma.

"I will be off to an awards ceremony in the new year to receive the award and meet the judges.

"I just want to thank each and every one of my clients, old and new.

"You trust me with the most delicate part of you and without you I would not be receiving this award.

"Thank you to my husband and family for their endless support and encouragement. I am eternally grateful.

"Thank you to the judges at Prestige Awards for your lovely comments and choosing Utopia Hypnotherapy."
