What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of deep relaxation and focused attention where the subconscious mind is extraordinarily receptive to positive thoughts and suggestions. Through hypnosis, your behavior can be modified to benefit you by replacing old beliefs or behaviors with new ones you desire.

Have you ever missed your exit while driving because your mind was elsewhere? Or felt that calm, floaty feeling just before falling asleep or right after waking up? What about getting so absorbed in a book, movie, or an outdoor activity that you lose track of time? In moments like these, your conscious mind relaxes and your subconscious mind becomes more open and receptive to ideas and suggestions. This is the same state used in hypnosis.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy combines the natural power of hypnosis with the guidance of a skilled, certified hypnotherapist in a safe and supportive environment. The process begins with a conversation about your goals, concerns, and what you would like to achieve. During hypnosis, I work with your subconscious mind to support your goals, helping create positive and lasting change.

Can I be hypnotized?

Yes. Everyone has the ability to be hypnotized.

What is a hypnotic experience like?

Hypnosis is a natural state of profound physical and mental relaxation that is both refreshing and revitalizing. In hypnosis, you are not asleep. In fact, most people report an energizing experience of intense concentration and awareness.

What happens if I don’t come out of hypnosis?

It is impossible to be stuck in the state of hypnosis. All trances end, whether formally ended by the Hypnotherapist or ended naturally by you.

Will I do anything I don’t want to do or say anything I don’t want to say?

You cannot and will not ever be compelled to do or say anything under hypnosis that is in conflict with your personal, ethical standards and/or desires. As your Hypnotherapist, it is my foremost intention to assist you in achieving your therapeutic goals.
