Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful approach to healing that works directly with your subconscious mind — the deeper part of you that stores memories, emotions, and automatic patterns.

Through guided relaxation and focused awareness, hypnotherapy helps you move beyond analytical thinking and access the origin of your challenges, allowing insight, healing, and lasting change to occur naturally. This heightened state of awareness is often referred to as trance.

It’s a state you enter every day — just before sleep or when you’re deeply absorbed in thought. In session, this natural state is guided with purpose, helping you connect to the inner wisdom that already knows how to heal.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

The subconscious mind influences up to 95% of daily behavior - from emotional responses to habits, self-beliefs, and even physical sensations. When conscious effort alone isn’t enough to create change, hypnotherapy helps by:

  • Quieting the conscious, critical mind

  • Accessing stored memories, associations, and beliefs

  • Introducing healing imagery and positive suggestion

  • Creating alignment between the conscious and subconscious

Benefits of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy offers numerous benefits, such as:

  • Stress Reduction: Helps to relax and manage stress effectively.

  • Anxiety Relief: Alleviates symptoms of anxiety and promotes calmness.

  • Behavior Change: Assists in overcoming habits like smoking or overeating.

  • Emotional Healing: Facilitates processing of past traumas and emotional blockages.

  • Improved Sleep: Enhances sleep quality and addresses insomnia.

Types of Hypnotherapy

The Experience: What a Session Feels Like

  1. Intake & Intent Setting
    We begin with a conversation: what issue you want to work on, any relevant history, safety, consent, and establishing your intention.

  2. Induction & Deepening
    You’re guided into a relaxed, focused state — relaxed body, open awareness.

  3. Therapeutic Process
    Depending what we are working on, a variety of techniques may be used to work towards your desired outcomes. This is customized to each client individually.

  4. Grounding & Closure
    You are gradually brought back, grounded, and invited to reflect, journal, or integrate the insights.

  5. Follow-Up & Future Planning
    For some, one session will be enough; deeper or multi-layered issues benefit from a series. We’ll chart your next steps together.

  6. Duration
    Each session is approximately 60 minutes. Please allow up tp 90 minutes for your full appointment to ensure time for grounding and reflection.

FAQ About Hypnotherapy

What is hypnotherapy and how does it work?

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is considered safe when conducted by a trained and certified hypnotherapist. It is a natural and non-invasive method that can be used alongside traditional medical treatments.

Will the therapist be able to make me do things I don't want to?

Absolutely not! Hypnosis cannot make anyone do something they normally would not do. You still have free will, are capable of lying or not answering questions. Your subconscious will always protect itself from harm.

What should I expect during a hypnotherapy session?

During a session, you will be guided into a relaxed state where you can focus on specific issues or goals. The hypnotherapist will use suggestions and imagery to help you achieve your desired outcomes. You remain in control and aware throughout the session.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends! There are several factors that determine how many sessions you will need - what we are working on, what your beliefs are, how committed to change you are, etc.! Simple issues may only require one session! On average however, many issues can be addressed in around 6 sessions. Incredibly complex, long lasting issues may require more.
