What is Hypnosis?
Hint: You are already an expert at it
HYPNOSIS has been used therapeutically for thousands of years. It's a state of focused attention and heightened awareness that is directed within, and is a normal and natural part of being human. It's common for us to enter into a state of hypnosis when we watch a movie for example, meditate, or drive a car without remembering that we passed certain landmarks, or daydream as we wait in line. Someone can call our name and we don't hear them. The rest of the world disappears from our awareness. Our eyes are open and we are in a state of hypnosis, a state of trance, a state of intense focused concentration. Hypnosis in various forms is something which we all experience throughout the day, depending on what we are doing. You've done this thousands of times and this is why hypnotherapists say that anyone who wants to be hypnotized can be. An outside force isn't causing you to do this. It’s just you, using your mind in a different way, allowing yourself to get into a different state of awareness. It's easy to see why all hypnosis is considered self-hypnosis. When we close our eyes and bring our awareness inward with deep relaxation, profound inner resources become available. This is a doorway to the space where your mind and heart meet. In a calm, guided state of hypnosis, we can access the subconscious realm, where beliefs, emotions, memories, and deep-seated intuitive resources reside.
What is Hypnotherapy?
HYPNOTHERAPY, a powerful tool for mind-body transformation, combines intentional protocols with hypnosis to access the subconscious mind, where long-held behaviors, beliefs, and emotional imprints are stored. We relax the conscious mind to facilitate communication with the subconscious mind, so the two can work together in harmony for your greatest good, increasing your ability to shift thoughts in new and empowering ways, moving you into positive and powerful action. In this space of inward reflection, beneath surface thoughts and daily distractions, in the deeper layers of the mind, we find the undercurrents that quietly shape the way you behave, perceive yourself and feel. Hypnotherapy gently brings these patterns into the light, allowing you to change and release what no longer serves you in order to rewire the mind for healing, self-empowerment and peace. You access your inner resources and become more you—with more clarity, self compassion, and a deeper self awareness. It’s a fast and effective process that facilitates long-lasting change and is both deeply practical and profoundly soulful, as you connect with your innate intuitive guidance system to discover that the answers you are seeking are already within you. If you are open to this approach and are looking for change, I'm honored to guide you in this remarkable process.
CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY, also called therapeutic or medical hypnotherapy, is a specialized form of care used to support wellness in the presence of diagnosed illness, injury, or mental health challenges. Unlike general-purpose hypnosis, it is always intended to complement licensed medical, dental, or psychological care. How can it help? Clinical hypnotherapy is a science-based, mind-body collaboration, leveraging well-researched techniques that guide you into a deeply focused, yet relaxed state. In that state you can tap inner resources— you can lower stress hormones, regulate pain perception, strengthen immune and healing responses, and gain a sense of control and hope. When used as part of a holistic approach, clinical hypnotherapy empowers the client—not by doing something to the body, but by activating what the body already knows how to do: heal, integrate, and restore balance.
Because these sessions involve medically significant conditions, a written referral from a licensed provider (physician, psychologist, therapist, dentist, etc.) is required. It's easy to get and I can help you with what that looks like.
If you are going through something that is not described here, please schedule a consultation and we can talk about it. If it has to do with the mind in any way, hypnotherapy can be very useful.
Oncology Support
A cancer diagnosis affects more than just the body—it can touch every part of a person’s life. Hypnotherapy offers gentle, evidence-informed support throughout the cancer journey, helping reduce anxiety, manage symptoms, and foster a sense of calm, strength, and inner resilience. Whether used alongside chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or survivorship care, hypnotherapy helps ease treatment side effects, support immune function, and provide emotional relief. This work is always done with compassion and collaboration, tailored to the client’s unique needs and medical care plan.
Migraines
Migraines are more than just headaches—they’re complex neurological events that can disrupt every aspect of daily life. Hypnotherapy offers gentle, evidence-informed support by helping reduce migraine frequency, intensity, and emotional triggers. By calming the nervous system and addressing subconscious stress patterns, hypnotherapy supports migraine prevention and relief. It can also improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and help people feel more in control of their bodies—especially when pain has felt overwhelming or unpredictable.
Skin Conditions
The skin is not just a barrier—it’s also a messenger, often reflecting what's happening beneath the surface in both body and mind. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, mind-body approach to supporting chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hives by reducing stress and helping regulate immune and inflammatory responses. Through guided relaxation and subconscious work, hypnotherapy calms the nervous system, decreases flare-ups triggered by stress, and helps clients feel more at ease in their bodies. It’s not a replacement for medical care, but a powerful complement—especially when skin conditions have an emotional component.
Asthma/Breathing Conditions
Breathing issues like asthma can be both physically and emotionally distressing, often triggered or worsened by stress, anxiety, or environmental cues. Hypnotherapy supports easier breathing by helping to reduce nervous system overactivation and by gently rewiring the body’s stress response. Through guided relaxation and subconscious retraining, hypnotherapy helps clients feel more in control of their breath, reduce anxiety-related symptoms, and improve overall respiratory comfort. It works alongside medical treatment—not as a replacement—to support a more peaceful, confident relationship with breathing.
Compulsive Disorders
Compulsive habits can feel like they’re running the show—repetitive behaviors that bring short-term relief but long-term distress. Whether it’s hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, or other repetitive patterns, hypnotherapy offers a compassionate, brain-based approach to interrupting the cycle and restoring calm. Clinical hypnotherapy works by calming the nervous system, uncovering subconscious triggers, and gently rewiring the automatic patterns that drive compulsive behavior. It provides a safe, supportive space for healing, while empowering clients with new tools to regain control.
Dental Conditions
Dental procedures can trigger anxiety, discomfort, or even panic in many people—often stemming from past trauma, sensitive reflexes, or fears about pain and control. Hypnotherapy provides a safe and highly effective way to reduce dental fear, manage physical responses, and promote a calmer, more comfortable experience in the dental chair. By working with the subconscious mind, hypno-therapy helps regulate the body’s reactions, ease the gag reflex, and reduce tension in the jaw and muscles. It’s also valuable in addressing bruxism (teeth grinding), TMJ disorders, and needle or procedure phobias—giving clients the tools to feel more at ease during treatment and in daily life.
Cardiovascular Concerns
Heart health is closely connected to how we manage stress and emotions. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, research-informed way to support cardiovascular well-being by reducing anxiety and promoting healthier lifestyle habits from the inside out. In a deeply relaxed state of hypnosis, the body naturally shifts into parasympathetic mode—slowing the heart rate, calming the nervous system, and improving oxygen flow. Whether someone is coping with high blood pressure, recovering from a cardiac event, or navigating the emotional toll of heart disease, hypnotherapy offers compassionate, whole-person support for both prevention and healing.
IBS and Gastro-intestinal Issues
Your gut listens— constantly—to the story your mind is telling. Hypnotherapy calms the nervous system and brings harmony to the sensitive communication between body and brain. By easing stress and shifting subconscious patterns, it can help reduce discomfort, improve digestion, and restore a sense of internal peace. This gentle, mind-body approach invites healing where it often begins—in the quiet space beneath awareness.
Surgical Support
Surgery can be one of the most stressful experiences for the body and mind—even when it's necessary for healing. Hypnotherapy offers gentle, evidence-based support before and after surgery, helping to reduce anxiety, pain, and recovery time by activating the body's natural healing response. It can help with preoperative relaxation, improved sleep, and reduced fear—while post-operative sessions support healing, pain relief, and emotional recovery. Hypno-therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about creating conditions in which healing can truly flourish.
Chronic Illness
Living with a chronic illness can be an overwhelming journey, often affecting not just the body but also the mind and spirit. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and empowering way to reconnect with your body’s own healing intelligence by supporting you in coping with the stress, pain, and uncertainty that long-term conditions can bring. And often, within the stillness of hypnosis, clients may also discover inner guidance, ancestral wisdom, or deeper insight waiting to be heard. Healing can also mean awakening, remembering, and returning to wholeness from the inside out.
Pain Management
Pain speaks in the language of the body, but its roots reach into the mind. Hypnotherapy helps to soften and sometimes even eliminate the experience of pain and restores a sense of comfort, safety, and control. By working with the subconscious, it can reduce the brain’s perception of pain, ease the emotional burden that often accompanies chronic discomfort, and create new pathways for relief. In this space of inner calm, the body can begin to rest, recover, and remember what it feels like to be at ease.
Anxiety and Depression
When anxiety or depression take hold, it can feel like an endless loop, with each thought or feeling feeding the next. Hypnotherapy provides a pathway out of that cycle by guiding the mind to a place of stillness and clarity, helping to break the cycle, restoring a deep sense of calm and balance . With hypnotherapy, you can access the serenity and clarity within, breaking free from that endless loop, restoring balance, and reconnecting with peace and joy.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus—often described as ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears—can be deeply distressing, especially when it interferes with sleep, concentration, and peace of mind. By shifting focus away from the internal noise and promoting deep relaxation, clinical hypnotherapy helps clients feel less reactive, more in control, and better equipped to manage the impact of tinnitus in daily life. It’s a gentle, non-invasive support that works in harmony with medical care.
Autoimmune Disease Support
Living with an autoimmune disease can feel like being in a constant state of tension—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, empowering way to calm the immune system, regulate stress, and reconnect with the body’s deeper rhythms of healing and restoration. By entering a deeply relaxed, receptive state, the nervous system shifts out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and repair.” Hypnotherapy can significantly reduce symptom flares, support emotional balance, and improve overall quality of life by working with the underlying stress that often triggers immune overactivity.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis can cause chronic pain, fatigue, emotional distress, as well as a sense of isolation that’s hard to put into words. Hypnotherapy can help manage the physical and emotional toll of the condition by reducing pain sensitivity, regulating stress, and restoring a sense of agency in the body. Used in conjunction with medical care, hypnotherapy has been shown to improve pain perception, reduce inflammation-related stress responses, and ease the mental burden of living with a chronic condition. It's a gentle, empowering support that helps clients feel calmer, stronger, and more at home within themselves.
Trauma
Trauma can leave lasting imprints in both the mind and body—shaping how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, client-centered way to process and release traumatic patterns without re-traumatization, allowing for deep healing in a safe, supported space. By guiding the nervous system into a calm and receptive state, hypnotherapy helps shift out of hypervigilance, reduce intrusive symptoms, and reconnect with a sense of internal safety. This work is done slowly, respectfully, and with clinical care—always honoring each person’s pace and lived experience.
Menopause
Menopause is a natural transition, but for many, the symptoms can be intense—hot flashes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, brain fog, and mood shifts that impact daily life. Hypnotherapy offers gentle, research-supported help in managing these symptoms by calming the nervous system and restoring a sense of internal balance. By guiding the body into deep relaxation and working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, support better sleep, ease emotional fluctuations, and promote overall well-being. It's a safe, empowering complement to medical care during this important life phase.
Addiction Recovery
Addiction recovery is a courageous and complex journey, often involving physical cravings, emotional wounds, and deep-rooted patterns that are hard to shift through willpower alone. Hypnotherapy offers powerful, trauma-sensitive support by working directly with the subconscious mind to reduce triggers, build motivation, and promote lasting change. Used alongside professional addiction treatment, hypnotherapy can help clients ease anxiety, strengthen self-worth, release guilt or shame, and reprogram unconscious habits that drive addictive behaviors. It is not a replacement for medical care, but a meaningful adjunct that supports deeper healing from within.
Arthritis
Arthritis is more than joint pain—it’s a daily challenge that can affect sleep, mobility, and emotional well-being. Hypnotherapy can help reduce pain perception, relax muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes through the mind-body connection. Clinical hypnotherapy complements medical care by guiding the nervous system into deep relaxation, reducing stress-related inflammation, and helping clients reframe their relationship to chronic pain. The result is often more ease, less discomfort, and a renewed sense of control over one’s experience.
Fertility Support
Trying to conceive can be one of the most emotionally charged and physically demanding experiences a person or couple goes through. Hypnotherapy offers compassionate, evidence-informed support that helps reduce stress, regulate the nervous system, and create optimal conditions for conception and fertility treatment. By gently guiding the body into a state of deep relaxation, hypnotherapy supports hormonal balance, lowers cortisol levels, and fosters a sense of calm and inner receptivity. Whether used alongside medical fertility treatment or on its own, hypnotherapy helps restore a sense of trust in the body and peace within the heart.

Kim approaches hypnotherapy with a sense of calm and care that really helped me feel comfortable with the process. I was feeling stuck. Old patterns were preventing me from moving forward on a number of fronts. I really appreciate her attention to detail and follow-through. It was just what I needed at a critical time. Highly recommended!
