From the Mayo Clinic: “Hypnosis is a changed state of awareness and increased relaxation that allows for improved focus and concentration. It also is called hypnotherapy. Hypnosis usually is done with the guidance of a health care provider using verbal repetition and mental images. During hypnosis, most people feel calm and relaxed. Hypnosis typically makes people more open to suggestions about behavior changes.”

*So, basically, we gently kick in the door of your mind and loudly whisper, “some thangs ’bout to change ’round here!”*

Respectfully, nah… well, not unless you want to do. Hypnosis is a willing experience where we work together for clarity and growth. While the journey inside can be surprisingly fun, leading to bursts of insight or flashes of creativity, our focus is on empowering lasting change from within. You remain in control at all times – We simply guide you to help uncover buried brilliance and reconnect with your inherent wisdom. Our sessions provide an opportunity to have an adventure of self-discovery, not a show. But we think you’ll find the rewards well worth the journey!

Hypnosis is an interactive process.

During our hypnosis sessions, you’ll enter a deep state of focused relaxation. But unlike passive meditation, our sessions remain a two-way dialogue. As the facilitator, I’ll check in regularly even while you’re in trance.

Through questions, affirmations and visualizations crafted just for you, we’ll uncover limiting beliefs at a subconscious level. I’ll help strengthen positive mental images so they resonate deeply.

This back-and-forth allows us to really drill down on your specific goals and intentions. We’ll collaboratively dissolve blocks and install new empowering patterns.

You leave knowing precisely how to reinforce changes through consistent actions. The results? Far more impactful transformations than passive listening alone. Your dreams become achievable through this tailored, interactive hypnosis process.

Short answer: No.

Hypnosis involves a conscious and willing state of focused relaxation, not unconsciousness. You retain awareness and control at all times. As a certified hypnotist, I am trained to ensure your safety and help guide you smoothly out of trance. You can also exit hypnosis simply by opening your eyes. You remain in the driver’s seat. We’ll go at a comfortable pace tailored just for you, honoring your boundaries and ensuring the experience feels safe.
