Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a relaxed and highly imaginative state of narrow focus and increased suggestibility. It is a natural state we experience throughout the day especially when we wake up and just before sleep.
Hypnotherapy is hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. Communication with the subconscious to alleviate a root cause of behavior through positive suggestions.

How does Hypnotherapy work?
First let me start by saying, "you are always in control of yourself."
Every memory and event is stored in the subconscious mind. Stored events are what create all behavior including impactful issues. Hypnotherapy is a most efficient way of incorporating cognitive therapy and hypnosis to recognize root cause of behavior that one desires to change.
I will help you chisel away any issue and discover a new way of being.
In other words, hypnosis is used to facilitate a new, updated, way of life to fit the person you want to live.

Can I be hypnotized?
Everyone experiences a state of hypnosis. A few examples of this natural state are when you are fully absorbed in a movie, reading a book or driving a car. In each of these examples, one can lose track of time and experience different emotions. This is a natural example of narrow focus and suggestible state.
Everyone has different levels of suggestibility. I will test your suggestibility to determine the most effective approach for you.

Will I lose control or say things I don't want to say?
No. You will not reveal any secrets or anything else you do not want to share. You are in control of yourself in what you say and do during your whole experience. Each question is designed for you to get the most out of your session.
How many sessions will it take?
Hypnotherapy is a "do with" process. I am "facilitating" your personal evolution. Hypnosis is like a mental workout. Reinforcement helps even more. I recommend 2-6 sessions to start. Your commitment and desire determine how many sessions it will take for your goal.
Does Hypnotherapy work with my belief system?
Hypnotherapy can be used with any belief system. It is a form of therapy that is used with a natural human state. I will work with your existing beliefs to reframe, reinforce and strengthen your own belief system.
Is Hypnotherapy covered by insurance?
All insurance policies differ. Please check with your insurance company to see if Hypnotherapy is covered. I am happy to write receipts.
How does the first Hypnotherapy session work?
3 - 6 sessions is suggested to start.
45 min - 90 minutes
All sessions are over zoom or in office.
(Over zoom- Find a quiet, undisturbed and comfortable spot, your temple)
The first session is the longest ranging from 90-120 minutes. It consists of four main parts.
1. We'll have an in-depth consultation to address the challenges you are currently experiencing, determine any blocks or root cause (if known), and create an intention for a desired outcome.
2. A detailed description of how hypnotherapy works, the Theory of Mind and how it works with your specific case.
3. Suggestibility Test. This test allows me to know exactly how you best receive information for impactful suggestions to your subconscious mind.
4. The last part is Hypnotherapy itself. This is where change occurs. We communicate with the subconscious your desired perceptions.

What is my User Manual?
Great question!
We have lived enough of a life to know what we don't like. Hypnotherapy focuses on what we like and what works. Thus creating your personal user manual that is constantly being updated the more we experience life. Journaling recommended.
