Clinical hypnosis is a research-supported therapeutic technique that engages the subconscious mind to support behavioral, emotional, and physiological change. Used by healthcare professionals for decades, it is effective in addressing anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, stress-related conditions, habit change, and a wide range of concerns. By guiding the brain into a focused, relaxed state, hypnosis helps rewire thought patterns and improve outcomes, complementing medical and mental health care in a safe, evidence-based way. 

In this state, individuals are more open to suggestions, allowing them to alter their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. 

Homeostasis:

Your mind and body are always working behind the scenes to keep things steady and familiar to you—that’s homeostasis. It’s like your internal autopilot, helping you maintain balance, whether it’s your heartbeat, body temperature, or emotional state. But here’s the tricky part: this same system that protects you can also hold you back.

Even when you want to feel better, change a habit, or respond differently in certain situations, a deeper part of your mind might quietly resist. Why? Because change, no matter how positive, can feel like a threat to that sense of internal stability. So, while trying to move forward, your subconscious may cling to what’s familiar, even if it’s no longer helpful.

That’s why change can feel hard, even when motivated. It’s not a lack of willpower—it’s your mind doing what it thinks is best to protect you. Hypnosis helps gently shift that pattern by working with the part of you trying to keep things the same.

Neuroplasticity:

Your brain is constantly changing, and that’s the incredible gift of neuroplasticity. It means that no matter your age or past experiences, your brain can form new connections, let go of old patterns, and learn new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

This is how healing happens. It’s how you begin to shift from automatic reactions that no longer serve you into healthier, more empowered ways of being. But real, lasting change requires more than just “trying harder.” It involves working with your brain in a way that encourages flexibility and emotional safety.

That’s where Hypnosis, NLP, EFT, and MER come in. They help calm your nervous system and gently guide your subconscious to open up to new possibilities. When your mind feels safe and supported, it becomes easier to release what’s no longer needed and create space for something better. Neuroplasticity makes change possible, and these methods help make it real.

Hypnosis has a rich and fascinating history that spans centuries and cultures. In ancient Egypt, trance states and ritual sleep were used for healing, and the Greeks, Hippocrates included—embraced similar techniques to improve health. In India, yoga and meditation have long been used to reach altered states of consciousness, connecting to what we now recognize as hypnosis within Vedic traditions.

The journey into modern hypnosis began in the 18th century with Franz Anton Mesmer in Austria, who introduced the idea of "animal magnetism"—the belief in an unseen force used for healing. This concept laid the groundwork for what we now know as hypnosis. A few decades later, in the 19th century, Scottish surgeon James Braid coined the term "hypnosis" after recognizing it as a psychological process, distinct from magical thinking.

By the 20th century, hypnosis was widely accepted as a therapeutic tool, used in everything from pain relief to helping people break old habits.

• Hypnotherapy is 100% a safe and natural method led by a highly trained professional. 
• It promotes healing and well-being by guiding you into deep relaxation. You are NOT asleep and remain fully aware and in control.  
• To support your progress, I can provide a recording of each session for you to revisit anytime, reinforcing the benefits and deepening the impact of your therapy.

• Choosing the right hypnotherapist is essential. You want to know you're in good hands with someone properly trained and following high ethical standards. Look for someone nationally board-certified and part of a reputable organization, like the International Hypnosis Association or the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists. This is a good sign that they take their work seriously and are committed to helping you feel safe and supported throughout the process. 
• Qualified hypnotherapists typically undergo extensive training, including over 900 hours of coursework and supervised clinical practice—often guided by licensed psychologists, physicians, or other healthcare professionals.

•  It’s not mind control or brainwashing. You can’t be made to do anything against your will or that goes against your values.
• You’re not unconscious or asleep. You remain fully aware of your surroundings and can speak, move, or open your eyes anytime.
• You can’t get stuck in hypnosis. It’s a natural state, and you’ll always come out of it, often feeling more relaxed and clear-headed.
• It’s not a magic trick or performance. Hypnosis is a collaborative process, rooted in science, where your active participation matters.

I blend various modalities with hypnotherapy to provide personalized, comprehensive support tailored to each client’s needs.

1. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) combines acupressure and modern psychology. It involves tapping on meridian points to address emotional issues.
2.  Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a conscious process that focuses on understanding and reshaping thinking, behavior, and language patterns. Unlike hypnotherapy, it does not involve a hypnotic state. 
3. Mental and Emotional Release (MER) is a clinically proven technique by Dr. Matt James that helps release stress, trauma, anxiety, and negative emotions by addressing their root cause for lasting emotional healing. 
4.  Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ability to understand and manage emotions in ourselves and others. Combined with hypnosis, it enhances self-awareness, revealing emotional patterns and enabling deeper insights for faster, lasting change. 

I offer both single sessions and package deals to suit your needs best. Please contact me for more details on pricing.

While I specialize in certain areas, I also support clients with many challenges that may not be listed. Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help address everything from stress, anxiety, and panic attacks to insomnia, grief, and loss, and even specific fears like aerophobia, to name a few. It can also be used as a complementary approach to help manage symptoms of certain medical or psychological conditions, provided there is a referral from your  practitioner. 

If you’re working through any of these challenges, or something not explicitly mentioned, I can help. With compassionate, expert support, I’ll guide you toward regaining control, restoring balance, and creating meaningful, lasting change in your life. 

The number of sessions needed depends on the individual's response to hypnotherapy. Some clients need just one, while others need more. Each person is unique.
