Before hypnosis, we’ll meet and spend some time talking.

I’ll answer your questions and help you determine if hypnosis is right for you. I’ll also help you understand what hypnosis is, how and why it works, as well as what you can expect on your hypnosis journey.

This part of the process is similar to a consultation. This usually takes about 30 minutes, and can be done over the phone, in-person. or virtually.

You’ve chosen to get hypnotized for a reason. As we talk, I get a sense for what you are seeking and together we set goals for your hypnosis journey.

Perhaps you need help recovering from burn out. Perhaps you recognize you have limiting beliefs about yourself. Maybe you are struggling to make peace with a medical diagnosis. Or maybe you’d simply like to know and understand yourself better. All of these things can be explored through hypnosis. Together we will clarify what is most important to you, and what success with hypnosis would look like and feel like to you.

When we set intentions, we create clear direction while remaining open to whatever unfolds.

Once we have talked, set intentions, and have a clear idea of what you hope to achieve, we’ll move into a deeply relaxed, focused hypnotic state using gentle guidance and visualization. This is VERY similar to a guided meditation.

Hypnosis is a journey, not a destination.

Before we begin, we’ll talk about what you’re hoping to change and what “success” would actually look and feel like to you. That becomes our compass for the journey ahead.

You may reach your destination in one session. You may discover that there is more you’d like to explore. Either way, you decide when your journey is complete.

Once you are comfortably in a hypnotic state, I will use the information you shared during your consultation to guide the session. No two experiences are exactly alike because they are shaped by your unique goals, memories, and inner wisdom.

For example, if you’re struggling with anxiety, we might gently explore the situations that trigger those feelings, discover what your subconscious has been trying to protect you from, and help it develop a new, healthier response.

If you’re working to change a habit, we may uncover the need that habit has been fulfilling, then create new patterns that support the life you want instead.

If your goal is confidence, we may reconnect you with memories of strength and success, amplify those feelings, and mentally rehearse future situations so your mind and body begin responding with greater confidence.

If you’re feeling burned out or overwhelmed, the session may focus on helping your nervous system rest, release accumulated stress, and reconnect with a sense of balance and renewal.

Throughout the process, I act as your guide. I ask questions, offer suggestions, and help you explore your own inner landscape, while your subconscious provides the insights, memories, symbols, and solutions that are uniquely meaningful to you.

One of the most valuable parts of the session happens after hypnosis.

We’ll take time to talk about your experience, explore any symbolism or insights that emerged, and discuss how those discoveries might relate to your life today.

The goal isn’t simply to have an interesting experience—it’s to carry meaningful understanding back into your everyday life.

During hypnosis, we gently begin moving emotions, beliefs, and patterns in the direction you’d like to go. Integration happens between sessions and is the process of allowing those changes to settle into your everyday life.

You may notice new thoughts, emotions, memories, or perspectives emerging in the days and weeks that follow. Sometimes things feel lighter. Sometimes something unexpected surfaces. Sometimes you simply notice that you respond to an old situation in a completely different way.

That’s integration.

You don’t have to force it. You don’t have to figure everything out. You simply pay attention to what is changing and allow yourself to experience it.
