Hypnotherapy can speed up the healing/change process because you deal directly with the subconscious mind where most of our issues reside as well as our own personal healing powers reside. This allows for quick release of blocks, fears, or negative beliefs that are holding you back from being where you wish to be and who you really are.

No. You can expect to feel utterly relaxed and in complete control, an issue many clients worry about. We simply work together to put your conscious mind to rest, to allow the subconscious to make the positive changes necessary. You will hear everything that the hypnotherapist is saying or doing, and you will never do or say anything in hypnosis that you would not do or say out of hypnosis.

No. There are many popular misconceptions about Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, mostly because we are familiar with entertainment acts and Hollywood movies. This is not an accurate picture of hypnotherapy. Remember Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy are two separate things. Hypnotherapy is a healing practice undertaken by a certified Hypnotherapist who acts as a professional and gentle guide as you explore areas of your subconscious mind in a respectful, safe environment.

We believe in an integrated approach to wellness. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and non- invasive therapy that can be complimentary to many other therapies. We do a profile during your consultation and ask about other therapies that you may be undergoing. We always recommend that you let your other practitioners including your doctor know that you are working with Hypnotherapy.

During hypnotherapy you will be in a deeply relaxed state. You will hear the voice of the hypnotherapist and visualize a journey with the therapist guiding you along. If you have meditated before, or practiced the type of deep breathing associated with yoga for example, you will recognize this feeling. Most people report feeling very rested and relaxed after a session.

By choosing to undertake this kind of exploration with a professional hypnotherapist, you have essentially hired a guide that is professionally trained to spot trauma or difficulty. You are visualizing the event not experiencing it. When you visualize a fearful situation in hypnotherapy, there are specific techniques used by the hypnotherapist to immediately distance you from what you are visualizing. These events are not a normal part of hypnotherapy as we primarily deal with positive suggestions and positive changes.

Every experience is different. Generally speaking, the mind usually takes more than one session to release significant patterns. Some clients have seen changes in one day. Other times we only clear what we need to immediately. Generally we recommend four to six sessions for permanent results.

Everyone can be hypnotized provided that they want to be. Anyone who wishes to be hypnotized can be. Even people with short attention spans can be hypnotized but the procedure requires special skills on the part of the hypnotist.
