What's Hypnotherapy?

Humans are like caterpillers. Every once in a while we must shed form---to transform!

Hypnotherapy can make this process easier!

If you can change your mind--you can change your life!

Hypnotherapy is NOT mind control! No one can be hypnotized against their will. No one can be made to do anything that is truly against their nature or ethics.

In truth, hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach aimed at creating positive changes in your perspectives that can shift how you experience your life. A simple example can be seen in the difference in the attitude when you can see a situation as an "opportunity," instead of a "problem."

By relaxing the body and the conscious mind, we can access the subconscious to rewrite outdated beliefs, negative programming, release trapped emotions, reframe traumatic and painful experiences, and access inner wisdom. Many clients report feeling relaxed, rested, or revitalized after their sessions.

Hypnosis induces a trance state of deep relaxation and focused attention. Contrary to popular misconceptions, a hypnotic trance is unlike sleeping or

being unconscious. If you have ever read a book and lost

track of time, mindlessly roamed the internet,

channel-surfed your TV, or driven to your

destination and not remembered the actual

process, then you have experienced a mild

form of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy is guided by the client's intentions,

often using their own words implanted in the subconscious

to create the desired changes so you are never out of control.

Hypnotherapy is a drug-free modality that can be performed fully clothed

and is very relaxing when used alone or in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches, including: Reiki, bodywork, chiropractic, acupuncture, psychotherapy, and conventional Western medication and therapies.

As a Reiki master, I frequently mix my advanced Reiki skills with the hypnotherapy to maximize the results.

My Education

I studied hypnotherapy and received advanced training in Past Life Regression and Medical hypnotherapy, which accesses the mind's ability to facilitate healing and control pain at Marilyn Gordon's Center for Hypnotherapy Certification in Oakland. This school specializes in the Transformational Healing Method (THM). This method was developed by Marilyn, who has received several awards, among them the Hypnosis Achievement Award.

I also have advanced training in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from the Mottin & Johnson Institute of Hypnosis. This training allows me to work in conjunction with your doctor, psychiatrist, or psychotherapist. Hypnosis is a drug-free modality that complements supervised medication regimes, physical therapy, and talk therapy.
