Hypnosis is a powerful state of focused attention resulting in an increased ability to accept suggestions as well as to uncover and eliminate the root causes of many issues.  Hypnosis supports your access to your inner resources that promote your natural inner healing.  It is a naturally occurring state of mind.   We cycle in and out of hypnosis while awake. Everyone has already experienced hypnosis thousands of times whether they are aware of it or not. Normal, everyday hypnosis occurs when you are driving down the road and lose track of time, or when you are focusing on a book or television program and you don’t even notice the things going on around you.

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis, and the mind’s own natural abilities, to resolve issues, relieve emotional burdens and achieve personal goals. It’s not like the hypnotism you see portrayed in cartoons or on stage. It is a safe, effective process that leaves you feeling refreshed and motivated. In just a few customized, confidential sessions, negative patterns of thought and behavior can be eliminated once and for all by removing the root cause using Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnosis.

It doesn’t feel like anything because it is a state of mind. Have you ever had an “AHA” moment when you got a deeper understanding than ever before That is how it is in hypnosis. In hypnosis you have the ability to access information that you didn’t know you knew. Once you access that information and you become aware of it, it aids you in making the positive change you want in your life.

A hypnosis session is a pre-scheduled, one-on-one time with a professional hypnotist. The sessions are used to gain insight from the subconscious mind to eliminate limiting beliefs, in order to effect change in a person’s life. Sessions will begin with a discussion about the issue and your goals for hypnosis. Once all questions are answered and you feel comfortable to proceed, the hypnosis portion of the session will begin. The specifics of each session will be customized by your hypnotist, who acts as a guide, showing you the way to your desired results.

The session is a partnership between you and the hypnotist like dance partners engaging in a therapeutic dance, each playing an important role. You will always play an active role in the process.

Hypnosis is a tool that can help you just like it has helped millions of other people to take back control of their lives. People often use hypnosis as a last resort and then comment they wished they had tried it first. You have either been referred by someone who cares about you and knows hypnosis works or you have unsuccessfully tried other therapies. Either way, nothing works faster or more effectively than hypnosis. Your choice: continue to live with your limitations or break free with hypnosis.

Yes. Hypnosis is safe and you will be in control the whole time. Hypnosis has been approved by the British Medical Association in 1955 and the American Medical Association in 1958. The American Psychological Association approved hypnosis as a science in 1960. In actuality, hypnosis has been safely and effectively used by medical and psychological professionals for over 200 years.

A Hypnotist cannot make you do anything you don’t want to, even if it’s good for you. Forget what you’ve seen in the movies and on TV. You are more in control of your mind & body during hypnosis than at any other time because your attention is focused.

BWRT is an immensely powerful style of working that can often dissolve problems almost instantaneously.  This is a totally modern methodology that enables the practitioner to work effectively with a great number of problems.  BWRT is inspired by the research of the virtual Nobel prize winner, Benjamin Libet in 1983.  He proved we don’t have free will in the way we think of it, which is why we all encounter so many “Why on earth did I do/say that?” or “Why do I have to feel like this?” moments.  As a practitioner I have elected to continue with professional development and training and I am registered with the British BrainWorking Research Society.  In a session I will ask you a few questions about your background and what has brought you to see me.  I will not ask you to reveal any secrets or intimate details of your life.  This is a private methodology in which you only have to be able to tell me how you feel and how you would like to feel instead.  BWRT is a science-based totally grounded methodology that deals with uncomfortable emotional or psychological triggers before you are even aware of them.  With BWRT the problem is dealt with “at source” before it even gets to the conscious mind.
