FAQ’s

  • No, stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy are very different.

    Stage hypnosis is an excellent display of what is possible when the conscious mind is temporarily suspended.

    Whereas, clinical hypnosis is a well-recognized therapy utilized throughout the world. Free will is never undermined while under hypnosis.

  • No, hypnotherapy is not sleeping; you remain awake, aware and always in control throughout the session.

    Think of it as a car ride. You’re in the driver’s seat, and you decide which way we go. I copilot and keep us focused on the destination.

  • Hypnosis gives you a new perspective on your negative emotions and destructive patterns by creating a place in your mind where you can objectively observe yourself without judgment.

    When you are aware, you can make positive changes.

  • I will guide you into a relaxed hypnotic state utilizing a variety of techniques attuned to your specific needs.

    Once you have achieved a relaxed state, I will begin to ask you a series of questions related to your issues. Based on your answers, I will lead you through your memories, thoughts, and beliefs, and encourage you to develop steps to achieve your goals.

  • Being in hypnosis feels like you are hovering in the twilight between being awake and sleeping, but instead of drifting off, you can move through that space with awareness.

  • Some people leave energized while others leave tired from an emotional release. Create time and space after your session to integrate your experience. Take a walk, journal, or spend time in nature.

    Drink lots of water, avoid alcohol, sugar and processed food, and be mindful of the media you consume. You are more suggestible after a session, and violent or emotional content could be counterproductive.

  • No, remote video sessions are available.

    Before the session starts, you will need a comfortable headset. Don’t forget to plug in your phone or laptop and test that everything is operating correctly. We don’t want any technical delays to cut into your time. Please remove any distractions – place your phone on silent and let your friends and family know that you are not available. If possible, choose a quiet environment with a chair or sofa that can recline. Finally, keep a box of tissues nearby.

  • Come with an open mind and a clear intention of what you want to change.

    Create a window in your day where nothing urgent will interfere with your session (don’t schedule your appointment during your lunch break).

    Get a good night’s sleep, avoid caffeine up to two hours before your session, don’t skip any meals, and wear comfortable clothing.

  • Hypnotherapy sessions are designed to achieve specific therapeutic goals, rather than a relaxed mental state.

  • Everyone can enter hypnosis because it is a naturally occurring state. Your level of comfort and trust can affect your ability to experience hypnosis. People who meditate have been known to have an easier time dropping in. It is important that you be open to the concept of hypnotherapy. Otherwise, your preconceived notions can interfere with your experience. Think of it like a muscle, the more you do it, the better you get at it.

  • Psychedelic integration provides support for harm reduction and benefit enhancement for your psychedelic experiences.

    I do not administer or provide psychedelic substances.
