Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of deep relaxation in which the subconscious mind is extraordinarily receptive to positive thoughts and suggestions. Through hypnosis, we can replace the old beliefs or behaviors that you no longer need or want with the new ones you desire. If you’ve ever found yourself engrossed in a movie, experiencing the feelings of characters on screen emotionally, and perhaps even physically — you’ve experienced hypnosis. If you’ve ever drifted into a daydream and then snapped back into the present wondering where the last few moments went — you’ve experienced hypnosis. Each night we enter and exit sleep, a hypnotic-like state bookends our experience.

Yes. Everyone has the ability to be hypnotized sufficiently to be successful with our custom approach.

Absolutely. Those areas of specialty and my approach in those areas are unique to me because of my personal experiences. That said, the lists are only meant to give you a sense of some ways hypnotherapy can help. I have experience and training in many other areas; so, please don’t hesitate to contact us about any specific goals you might have.

Because it Works! Hypnosis has repeatedly been proven to be the most effective approach to behavior modification.

Following are just a few study results:

• 5x more effective for quitting smoking w/over 80% success rates (2004, Texas A&M)
• Nearly 3x more weight loss than with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alone (1996, University of Connecticut)
• Significant decrease in exam anxiety and improvements in test performance (1991, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
• 87% of adolescents with Sleep disorders reported that hypnotherapy helped them improved or totally resolve sleep issues (2006, State University of New York Upstate Medical University )
• Significant reductions in anxiety for Stage Fright and Fear of Public speaking (1994, University of Tasmania)

Each person experiences hypnosis differently. Most people feel physically relaxed with various bodily sensations — some feel a lightness or floating, while others feel a comfortable heaviness. Mentally, many feel extreme calmness, while some experience a heightened awareness and focus. After hypnosis, most feel energized but relaxed and a general sense of well being.
