The mind is everything. What you think you become.

Hypnosis is a natural and relaxed state of focused attention, where the mind becomes highly receptive to positive suggestions, imagery, and changes in thought patterns. Hypnotherapy is hopeful work as Gil Boyne decribes and is always directed towards health. It’s a state of heightened awareness where the individual remains fully aware of their surroundings and deeply relaxed and focused inward.

During hypnosis, the conscious mind (the critical mind) takes a back seat, allowing access to the subconscious mind—the part of the mind that stores deeply rooted beliefs, habits, and emotions. This allows individuals to uncover and reframe limiting beliefs or behaviors that may be contributing to issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, health struggles, and negative habits.

In a therapeutic setting, hypnosis can be used to address a variety of challenges by promoting positive change, emotional healing, and mental clarity. Hypnotherapy is a safe, effective, and empowering tool for personal growth, helping individuals access their inner potential and create lasting transformations in their lives.

Yes, hypnosis is supported by a wealth of scientific research. Studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing anxiety, managing chronic pain, overcoming phobias, breaking habits like smoking, and improving overall mental well-being.

 Hypnosis is effective for a variety of conditions, including:

• Anxiety and depression

Holistic coaching is a comprehensive approach to personal development, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and spirit to promote balance and harmony in all areas of life. Rather than addressing isolated issues, holistic coaching considers a person’s overall well-being. Here’s what holistic coaching entails:

1. Whole-Person Focus: Holistic coaching takes into account physical health, emotional well-being, mental state, and spiritual alignment, recognizing that these areas are interconnected and that imbalance in one can affect the others.
2. Mind-Body-Spirit Integration: This approach explores how thoughts (mind), emotions and habits (body), and sense of purpose (spirit) interact, aiming to foster lasting change by addressing all aspects of the self.
3. Healing and Growth: Beyond goal-setting, holistic coaching supports healing from past traumas, releasing limiting beliefs, and adopting empowered ways of living for fulfillment in every area of life.
4. Collaborative Approach: Holistic coaching is a partnership where the coach provides guidance and tools while the client takes responsibility for their growth. The focus is on helping clients unlock their own potential.

 The effectiveness of hypnosis depends on the condition being treated. During our free consultation, we can discuss your specific condition and how coaching and hypnosis can be applied to address it. 

 Yes, most people can experience hypnosis, as it is a natural, relaxed state we enter several times throughout the day without realizing it. Hypnosis occurs when you become deeply absorbed in an activity—like daydreaming, driving on "autopilot," or losing track of time while reading or watching TV.  When hypnosis is used purposefully in a therapeutic setting, it facilitates focused attention and helps you access the subconscious mind, where deeper healing and transformation can occur.

From a brainwave perspective, hypnosis often brings you into alpha and theta states:

• Alpha brainwaves: Associated with relaxation and calm, this state is where the mind is more open to positive suggestions and creativity. We experience alpha states when we are in light meditation or just before falling asleep.
• Theta brainwaves: This is a deeper state of relaxation, commonly associated with hypnosis and deep meditation. Theta is the gateway to the subconscious, where beliefs, emotions, and memories are stored. It is in this state that the mind becomes highly receptive to change.

While the depth of hypnosis varies from person to person, anyone who is open to the process can enter a hypnotic state. During our sessions, we will create a safe, supportive environment that allows you to access these states of relaxation and focus, facilitating the desired change.

One of the most common misconceptions about hypnosis is that you lose control, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. You remain fully in control during hypnosis. You are aware of your surroundings, can hear everything, and will not do anything you don’t want to do. Hypnosis used for entertainment, such as stage hypnosis, is very different from therapeutic hypnosis, which is designed to help you achieve your personal goals. In therapy, hypnosis is a safe, collaborative process where you set the intention and are in complete control of your experience.

You will never be asked to do anything against your will, and you can come out of the hypnotic state at any time. The power of hypnosis lies in your openness to the process and your desire to create positive change, with me simply guiding you along the way. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, empowered, and supported throughout the session.
