Frequently Asked Questions

A: A variety of benefits can occur from hypnosis, some of the more interesting “side effects” include;

• Noticeable calmness, increased relaxation and confidence, you may notice reduced stressors etc.

• Emotional and/or physical healing.

• Increased mental focus and/or clarity, (including tapping into your creative/playful/joyful/loving nature) and an increased confidence in decision making.

• Connecting lessons from past lives to this life (which significantly moves your learning forward to live oftentimes with greater confidence and joy)

• Realizing and understanding that your connection to a higher level of knowledge, consciousness, and energy is easily tapped into and always available to you.

A: It is unlikely, although possible, that you will not experience anything. If you do not see, sense, feel anything in the first few minutes of the session (which may happen on occasion), we can easily re-approach the session in a variety of ways that will open you up to having an experience. The key is remaining flexible and open to whatever does (or does not) arise. There is no wrong way.. Very often, when a client is having a limited experience, as soon as they stop “trying”, the memories, wisdom and information will begin to flow in.

A: Having been under several times, I assure you that there is a distinct difference in the way observing a memory feels versus how creating a memory feels. Even if you are using your imagination (which happens less often than you might expect), trust that your imagination is bringing that thought, image, feeling to you for a specific reason! There is always a reason for everything. Please try not to reject anything since all of it is helpful to your learning/healing process. And, if your imagination begins to take you in a direction that the Universe deems inaccurate, it will correct you and steer you in the most helpful direction.

A: While it is not guaranteed to “cure” any specific issue, hypnosis has a very long history of successfully helping people to heal overall, which may likely include your specific issue(s). I believe such healing can take place due to three primary thoughts. The first is that when you feel an overall sense of wellbeing, you are less likely to crave something to quell stress, or anxiety. The second is that there is a reason you are engaging in an activity that you would rather not engage in. This behavior may have its root in a past lifetime or an unrealized source from this lifetime. When you are under hypnosis, subconscious information is much more likely to come to you and provide you with the answers you need for healing. The third is that during hypnosis you can access a higher level of knowledge that will help you understand the reason you are engaging in undesirable behavior. Taking advantage of this higher level of knowledge will allow you to access advice for how to let go of the root source of the unwanted behavior. Remember you’ve initiated a step to stop the “unwanted behavior”! Each of these three thoughts are helpful in their own right. If you desire, we can actively focus on a specific issue during your sessions and approach it from all three directions. This method will likely result in immediate and lasting effects.

A: Yes. Even though you will feel relaxed and will be in a hypnotic state, you will always be in control of the session. You will be able to censor what you say out loud to me, you will also be able to feel (or not) as much of the emotion as you find beneficial, you will be able to ask and answer questions while you are under hypnosis, and you will be able to come out of the session if you feel the need (e.g., for a brief bathroom break, which happens on occasion).

A: There are some conditions for which hypnosis is not a good fit and should not be utilized by the client. These conditions include (and are not limited to): Schizophrenia, pathological personalities, psychosis (including substance induced), senility, dementia, brain trauma, cognitive deficiencies, epilepsy, narcolepsy, bi-polar, clinical depression, suicidal tendencies, serious heart conditions, extremely high or low blood pressure, elderly or frail, substance abuse, and/or currently taking medications, substances that cause drowsiness. If a client is, in any way, unsure if hypnosis would be a good fit for them, they should consult their medical doctor prior to participating in hypnosis. Also, if pregnant (especially in the first or second trimester), the client should also consult her medical doctor prior to participating in hypnosis.
