Before hypnosis, we’ll spend time talking.

This is your opportunity to share your story, your goals, and anything you hope to understand or experience during our time together. In essence, you’ll tell me your life story from birth to your current age, focusing on the major highs and lows you’ve experienced. You are a fascinating unique individual with a very interesting life story. Telling me your story generally takes 2-4 hours. My role is to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you clarify what matters most to you.

There is no rush and no “right” way to prepare.

By the time we begin hypnosis, we’ll both have a clear sense of where your curiosity is leading us.

If you’d like, you can come to the session with a set of questions. Together, we’ll look at the questions you’ve brought and explore what you’re truly hoping to discover.

You may want to know about a particular time in your life that you can’t remember clearly. Perhaps you want to know why something happened or if you should pursue something in particular. All of these questions can be explored, and often, under hypnosis our subconscious can deliver great wisdom in regard to our deepest questions.

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

We’ll move into a deeply relaxed, focused state using gentle guidance and visualization. This is VERY similar to a guided meditation.

Most individuals maintain conscious awareness throughout the hypnosis experience. Some individuals have no conscious awareness or memory of conversations during hypnosis. For this reason, all sessions are audio recorded. You will be given the audio recording of your session soon after the session is completed.

Once you are in a hypnotic state, you will tell me what you are thinking, feeling, noticing. It’s like describing a dream while you are still in the dream and aware that you are dreaming. Throughout the experience, I ask you questions to guide you through the experience, while helping you focus your attention.

I believe your subconscious mind knows exactly what information you seek. You are both the formulator of the question, and the creator of the answer.

There is no script for what you’ll discover. Every session is unique.

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.

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

That’s more common than you might think—and it doesn’t mean hypnosis won’t work for you.

While some people experience vivid mental images during hypnosis, others connect through feelings, thoughts, memories, sensations, emotions, or simply a quiet knowing. There is no single “correct” way to experience your subconscious. You don’t need a vivid imagination to benefit from hypnosis. You simply need a willingness to be curious about whatever arises.

Throughout your session, I’ll guide you using a variety of approaches and pay close attention to how you naturally process information. Together, we’ll work with the way your mind communicates rather than expecting it to fit someone else’s experience.

Many people are surprised to discover that they can visualize more easily in hypnosis than they expected. Others never experience vivid images at all and still have deeply meaningful, insightful sessions.

The goal isn’t to create a movie in your mind—it’s to connect with your inner experience in whatever form it naturally unfolds.

The answer is different for everyone.

Some people remember nearly every detail of their session, while others remember only bits and pieces. Occasionally, someone remembers nothing at all. Every experience is unique, and the amount you remember is not a measure of how successful your session was. Profound insights and meaningful transformation can occur whether you remember every moment or very little of the experience.

To ensure you don’t miss anything, every session is audio recorded. Shortly after your appointment, you’ll receive a digital copy of your recording so you can revisit the experience at your own pace. I can email the recording to you, or, if you prefer, you may bring a flash drive and I’ll transfer the audio file before you leave.

Most people can experience hypnosis, but no two people experience it in exactly the same way.

Hypnosis isn’t something that is done to you—it’s a natural state that we enter and leave every day. If you’ve ever become so absorbed in a good book that you lost track of time, or arrived somewhere without remembering much of the drive, you’ve already experienced a form of focused attention that’s similar to hypnosis.

Most people can experience hypnosis, but it doesn’t always look or feel the way they expect. Many people assume they’ll lose consciousness, be completely unaware of what’s happening, or instantly experience vivid imagery. In reality, hypnosis is often much more subtle. People enter hypnosis in different ways and to different depths.

There is no “right” way to experience hypnosis. My goal isn’t to force you into a particular state or create a dramatic experience. My goal is to help you relax enough that your own inner wisdom has room to be heard. Every session unfolds a little differently, and that’s exactly as it should be.

The most important ingredients are a willingness to participate, an open mind, and a genuine desire to engage with the process. My role is to guide you, help you feel comfortable, and adjust my approach to meet you where you are.

That’s completely okay.

You don’t need to believe in past lives to benefit from a hypnosis session. People come from many different spiritual, religious, and personal backgrounds, and every perspective is welcome.

While some people experience what they interpret as memories of past lives, others experience symbolic stories, vivid imagination, memories from this lifetime, or insights that help them better understand themselves. Rather than telling you what your experience means, I encourage you to explore it through the lens that feels most meaningful to YOU.

The value of a session isn’t determined by whether you believe in past lives. It’s found in the personal insights, healing, and understanding you take away from the experience.

My role is not to convince you of any particular belief system. My role is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your own inner experience with curiosity and an open mind. Whether you view your experience as spiritual, symbolic, psychological, or simply a powerful exercise in self-reflection, what matters most is whether it brings you greater understanding, peace, or clarity.

No. Hypnosis is not a substitute for medical care, psychological treatment, or advice from a licensed healthcare professional.

Hypnosis can be a valuable complementary tool for self-discovery, relaxation, personal growth, and exploring patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be influencing your life. However, it should not be used as a replacement for appropriate medical or mental health care.

If you’re currently under the care of a physician, therapist, or other healthcare provider, I encourage you to continue following their recommendations. Hypnosis can often work alongside other forms of care as part of a well-rounded approach to your overall well-being.

My role is to guide you through a safe and supportive hypnosis experience—not to diagnose, treat, or cure medical or psychological conditions.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.

Life has a way of unfolding in chapters. Sometimes one session is exactly what’s needed for the chapter you’re in. Other times, a new season of life brings new questions worth exploring. Some choose to return frequently because they have new questions, wish to explore a different aspect of their lives, or simply want to continue their journey of self-discovery.

Rather than following a predetermined plan, I believe each session should stand on its own. My goal isn’t to keep you coming back—it’s to help you have a meaningful experience that gives you the clarity, understanding, or healing you’re seeking.

If, after your session, you feel there’s more you’d like to explore, you’re always welcome to schedule another appointment. But there is never any expectation or pressure to do so.

Consider what you hope to discover or accomplish through hypnosis.

Really, you can’t screw this one up. You can wear and eat/drink whatever you want before a session. You cannot, however, be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.

That being said, being thoughtful and intentional about you choose to wear and eat or drink before a session can positively impact your experience with hypnosis.

My best advice is to wear comfortable loose-fitting clothes that you feel good in. Comfort and self-confidence greatly influence our mental state.

As far as eating and drinking are concerned, consume what you normally consume. It helps to be well hydrated. Avoid heavy meals, over-eating, and foods that generally don’t agree with you. Avoid copious amounts of caffeine.

If you are on any medications, take them as usual.
