Not at all—and sorry to disappoint if you were expecting something dramatic! Hypnosis is not mind control. It’s a natural and deeply relaxed state of focused attention—similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, or daydream. During hypnosis, you're fully aware of what’s happening. You can hear everything, respond if needed, and you always have control. In fact, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. I simply guide you into a state where your conscious mind can quiet down, allowing us to work more directly with your unconscious mind—the part of you that holds your beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns. You’re never asleep, never out of control, and you can reject any suggestion that doesn’t feel right for you. Your autonomy and safety are always respected

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for personal transformation and healing. By working directly with the unconscious mind—the part of you that stores beliefs, emotions, habits, and memories—we can create lasting change at the root level. It’s highly effective for helping you overcome limiting beliefs, release emotional blocks, shift addictive patterns, heal from past issues, and reduce or eliminate unnecessary fears . Hypnosis is also known to support physical and emotional well-being, including reducing chronic pain, improving sleep, easing stress/worry, and enhancing self-confidence. Whether you're looking to break through inner resistance, step into your full potential, or simply feel more empowered in your everyday life, hypnosis can be a deeply transformative part of your journey

Yes, hypnosis is very real and it’s backed by decades of scientific research and clinical application. Far from being just a stage trick or mystical practice, hypnosis is a well-established therapeutic tool recognized by medical, psychological, and scientific communities around the world. In fact, organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA) and the British Psychological Society (BPS) acknowledge the effectiveness of hypnosis for a wide range of issues, including pain management, stress reduction, anxiety, habit change, and trauma recovery. Neuroscience has also confirmed that hypnosis creates measurable changes in brain activity. Functional MRI (fMRI) studies show that during hypnosis, certain areas of the brain associated with focused attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation become more active, while others quiet down. This helps explain why people in a hypnotic state are more open to positive suggestions and new perspectives. Hypnosis isn’t magic, it’s a natural, altered state of consciousness that allows us to bypass the critical, overthinking mind and work directly with the unconscious, where real and lasting transformation can take place. When facilitated properly, it’s a safe, effective, and empowering process grounded in both science and experience.

Yes, hypnosis is completely safe when facilitated by a trained and certified practitioner. It’s a natural state of awareness that most people actually experience in daily life—like when you’re driving on autopilot, deeply focused on a task, or lost in thought during a movie. You’re not asleep or unconscious; you’re just in a relaxed, focused state where your inner awareness becomes heightened. During a session, most people describe feeling deeply calm, peaceful, and inwardly focused, similar to meditation or that dreamy state right before you fall asleep. Your body may feel heavy and relaxed, or light and floaty, depending on the experience. You’re always in control and can come out of the hypnotic state at any time. Hypnosis is not about giving up control, it’s about gaining access to the part of your mind that’s running the show behind the scenes. It’s gentle and deeply supportive. You’ll never be made to do anything that goes against your values or will. It’s all about aligning your conscious goals with your unconscious patterns, safely and effectively.

Yes, you can be hypnotized even if you are strong minded. In fact a strong mind often means strong focus and imagination, which are powerful assets in hypnosis. Hypnosis isn't about control or wekaness; Its a cooperative and collaborative process between the client and hypnotist. You're in charge. My role is to simply guide you into a deeply relaxed, focused state where your conscious mind can step aside and your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive change. If you are curious but skeptical thats completely normal. I was too when I first started getting involved in this work. That said. Hypnosis only works when you are open to the process. If you are constantly fighting the process it wont be nearly as effective due to it being a joint effort on both of our ends.

The number of sessions varies on a variety of factors; your desired goals, complexity of the problem and how open/responsive you are to the process. Some clients experience noticeable shifts after just 1 session, while others benefit from a series of sessions to create lasting layered change. What I have found to be most effective for change in my clients is starting them out with a group of 3 sessions then reevaluating what else if anything is needed.

Leading up to the session I ask that you reflect and write down several things; what the specific issue/sticking point is, How its currently impacting your life, Whats your motivation for changing, Your desired outcome, How achieving that outcome would improve your life. This gives us a clear starting point and helps clarify your goals/intentions. A typical session ranges from 1-1.5 hours(plan for 1.5 hours) so we have enough time to be thorough in our work. The first half of the session is focused conversation deconstructing the problem at hand, exploring the root of the issue, whats driving it, how it developed and whats holding it in place. The second half of the session I will guided you into hypnosis to work with the unconcious mind, where deeper/lasting change can occur.
