Ina Oostrom has always been driven by vision and curiosity. As a child growing up in the 1960s, she imagined travelling to other planets in her own spaceship — a fascination with exploring the unknown that later shaped her professional life.
She became one of the early pioneers introducing websites to companies before they were widely accepted. While balancing entrepreneurship and raising a family of four, Ina began searching for tools to manage stress and maintain inner balance.
This search led her to hypnosis, which quickly became her lifelong passion and mission. Over the years, she has trained therapists worldwide, received multiple awards for her contribution to the hypnosis field, and continues to innovate through teaching, writing, and creative projects.
Ayla grew up surrounded by conversations about hypnosis and occasionally asked her mother if she could be “hypnotised” — an early sign of what was to come.
After completing her degree in psychology and pedagogy, she found her way into hypnosis through a personal experience that left a lasting impression. Since then, she has balanced her training, private practice and motherhood — giving her a unique perspective on hypnosis, women and life.
As a hypnosis trainer at OMNI and developer of HypnoFlow Birthing, she supports women during pregnancy and birth. Together with Ina, she co-hosts the podcast “HypnoMum & Ayla”.
“Together, mother and daughter bring generations of experience — showing how hypnosis can truly transform lives.”
