Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of the brain. By putting the conscious mind into a relaxed state, we can effectively give the subconscious mind the encouragement and coaching it needs to impact your decision making and mindset.

The subconscious mind is the place where beliefs and values live inside of us all. The subconscious mind is powerful. Only when we are able to change our beliefs and attitudes, can we change our actions.

People choose hypnosis for a wide variety of reasons. Hypnosis is a tool that can help people make significant shifts in their mindset and profoundly change patterns of behavior.

Feeling hung up on the past, long-term doubts, feeling unable to make a choice, procrastination, social anxiety, writer’s block, burnout recovery or simply feeling unmotivated are areas where I love to offer my services.

Perhaps you have been trying to make a change for a long time and can’t seem to; anything from writing your book, finding a new job, finally quitting smoking or simply feeling better about yourself. All of these areas can benefit from hypnosis.

For my clients, hypnosis feels good. It feels very relaxing and cozy to get hypnotized.

Hypnosis feels like the best savasana after the hardest yoga class. It feels like the sweetest, most needed Saturday afternoon nap before going out for dinner with friends. Hypnosis feels like time disappearing in the flow-iest artistic creative spree. It feels like dreaming even if you aren’t asleep.

Hypnosis feels like deep calm and relaxation.

When experiencing hypnosis, my clients can choose to sit in a reclined state, on a heated massage table or even find a supportive position on a yoga mat with props and blocks.

Some clients choose to be hypnotized in the comfort of their own homes as I offer my services virtually.

Hypnosis sessions can last between 60-90 minutes.

After a thorough check in, you and I will begin an assessment of the issue you are calling forth. You will determine how you want me to help you approach the issue and the supportive messages I will communicate to your subconscious mind.

Once you feel good about that, you will get into a comfortable position that works for you. I will lead you into a hypnotic relaxation that can include guided imagery and body scans. The hypnotic part of the session will be different for everyone and can last between 25-40 minutes.

To end, I will guide you out of hypnosis and we can take some time to gently debrief and collaborate around next steps.

Most clients see a difference after a single session, however depending on your desires and intentions, more hypnosis sessions may be necessary. Most clients typically feel fulfilled with 4-6 sessions. More or less may be right for you.

All clients receive a personalized hypnosis session and a recording of the session. Clients often find it beneficial to listen to the recordings of our session between meetings. For your privacy, I delete my copy of these recordings after our session.

Clients can also expect check in’s from me.

I am not a therapist. Hypnosis has its own important lineage and traditions that are distinct from psychotherapy. I am a continual student of hypnosis and therapeutic practices, however I am not trained to give therapy or make a diagnosis.

You can’t be made to say or do anything you don’t want to do when you are hypnotized. My clients’ sense of empowerment and agency is my highest priority. You get to decide how the session will go at every step of the way. It’s my goal to be responsive and supportive of your subconscious mind and whatever comes up for you.

Stage hypnosis, the kind you may have seen at the county fair or grad night is very different from the type of hypnosis I practice. In fact, I wouldn’t know the first thing about getting you to bark like a dog or quack like a chicken, nor is that of any interest to me!

I know that not everyone finds it easy to let go and relax and that’s okay! I always meet people where they are at.

For those with attention issues, rest assured that for hypnosis to be effective, your conscious mind’s attention in not required.

YES! Virtual hypnosis is effective. Many clients prefer to be hypnotized in the comfort of their own homes. I am happy to set up virtual appointments for those interested.

Absolutely. Effective change and significant shifts are possible with hypnosis. It’s one of many tools a person can use on their journey of self discovery, growth and healing.
