Hypnosis or trance is a focused state of attention where your subconscious mind becomes more receptive to beneficial suggestions aimed at changing unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs. You remain in control during this process, evaluating the suggestions and accepting only what you find useful.

The subconscious mind is a part of your mind that operates below the level of your conscious awareness. It stores and manages your memories, habits, beliefs, emotions, and the autonomic nervous system. In hypnosis, the subconscious mind is accessed to bring about desired changes and healing by modifying deeply ingrained patterns of behavior or thought.

Amazingly, the subconscious mind is estimated to control approximately 95% of our lives. It operates in the background, managing not only our bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing without conscious effort but also influencing our emotions, decisions, and habits. Because it stores all our past experiences, it plays a crucial role in how we automatically react to various situations and challenges, often beyond our conscious awareness. This extensive influence makes the subconscious a powerful aspect of our psyche, driving much of our daily activities and behaviors.

Hypnosis is a natural, relaxing state of focused attention and awareness where the conscious mind is set aside, allowing communication with the subconscious. We cycle in and out of this state several times a day, especially just before sleep and upon waking. It's a place where we can hear our own thoughts and experience our internal representation of the world around us. Interestingly, we are in a state of hypnosis for the first 7 years of our lives and that is precisely when we go through intense programming.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic modality in which Hypnosis is used with intention. Throughout the process, you maintain control and awareness of your surroundings. Guided relaxation techniques to calm your body and mind take you into a relaxed state of focused attention by asking you to imagine certain things. Powerful metaphors and stories that your subconscious mind can interpret and focus on at the deepest level allow for profound internal shifts. Positive suggestions are then made to help you reinforce this new awareness subconsciously It allows your mind to reflect on the ideas and solutions discussed during our session to understand how they can help you. 

Our Hypnotherapy protocols use practical, structured, and well-researched strategies to help you make significant, positive changes quickly, focusing on the future instead of analyzing the past. We understand that it is your perspective and your words that hold the power. The reason this method is effective is because your conscious goals are able to be combined with the new awareness we discover from your subconscious mind while in hypnosis, and then they are communicated in a way your whole being inherently understands and desires.

Technically, hypnosis alters brainwaves from Beta (14-30 Hz), associated with intense mental activity, to Alpha (9-13 Hz), a bridge between the conscious and subconscious, or to Theta (4-8 Hz), where deeper subconscious access occurs. Simply put, in this state, your critical mind relaxes, increasing your receptivity to transformative suggestions that can change negative behaviors and beliefs, helping you become the best version of yourself.

My mission is to leverage hypnosis to create positive, lasting changes in your life by giving you access to reprogramming self-limiting beliefs, eliminating fears, and reframing past issues and relationships.

Being in hypnosis is like being in a daydream or caught up in a really amazing story. You will be consciously aware that you are physically and mentally relaxed. But, you will also be conscious of all sounds in the environment, and your ability to recall details is typically sharp and precise. 

To benefit from hypnosis, you will want to be comfortable and relaxed, whether in a reclining chair, sofa, or bed for online sessions. As you close your eyes, you will be guided into deeper relaxation, sometimes accompanied by gentle background music. Your mind may wander, which is perfectly fine; the goal is to relax. Suggestions are aimed at fostering positive change.

Many describe hypnosis as 'guided daydreaming,' during which you remain aware of everything being said while deeply relaxed.

It is no more possible to hypnotize someone against their will than it is to force someone to fall asleep or make them meditate. No one has the power to override your internal consciousness and make you do anything you do not want to do. Your survival depends on it!

Will I quack like a duck?

Do you have the ability to focus and concentrate on this question? Are you seeking to change more than you wish to remain in your current state? Do you want to succeed and move toward your goal? If you can access any desire and curiosity, you are likely open to hypnosis. It's that simple.

For our purposes, a simple light trance state is very effective for most issues and can be achieved easily using guided relaxation techniques.
