If you've ever wondered what hypnosis actually is—beyond the swirling pocket watches and stage antics—you’re not alone. And as someone who's walked beside many clients on their journey inward, I can tell you: hypnosis and hypnotherapy are nothing short of extraordinary. Not because they do something to you, but because they help you remember what’s already inside of you and you make the changes.
So... What Is Hypnosis?
At its core, hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention. It’s something you drift into every day without even realizing it—when you’re lost in a book, mesmerized by the ocean, or driving home on autopilot and wondering how you got there. That dreamy in-between place? That’s your hypnotic state. Nothing spooky. Nothing weird. Just you, with your inner noise turned way down and your deeper mind wide open. It's a natural part of being human.
And in that receptive state? The possibilities!
Hypnotherapy: Healing in the Quiet Places
Hypnotherapy is what happens when we consciously step into that state together, with the gentle guidance of someone trained to navigate those inner terrains (hi!). It’s a therapeutic process where you’re not just relaxed—you’re engaged, focused, and surprisingly empowered.
People often think hypnosis is about control, but it’s the opposite. It’s about returning control. To you. Your thoughts. Your habits. Your healing. With the noise of the outer world softened, we get to speak directly to the part of you that already knows how to release, grow, and transform. And when you do that? It's amazing, things start to shift.
Why I Fell in Love With This Work
I didn’t set out to become a hypnotherapist, I was on a healing journey as an artist for many years. My subject matter was primarily metaphysics and higher states of awareness so naturally I became curious about hypnosis, taking some wonderful classes. When I experienced it for myself—really experienced it—I was hooked. It bypassed the mental chatter and got straight to the heart. The way it offered both scientific grounding and a sense of something more mysterious and beautiful at play. It felt like soul work disguised as psychology and it changed my life!
And now, I get to witness the most incredible transformations. I’ve watched clients make peace with lifelong anxiety, sleep soundly for the first time in years, uncover buried creativity, heal after heartbreak, find clarity in big life transitions—and maybe most importantly, fall back in love with who they are.
It’s Time to Remember Your Power
Hypnosis isn’t a magic wand. But it is a key. A key to a door that’s been waiting for you to open it. And when you do, what you’ll find isn’t something foreign or strange—it’s you. The most aligned, intuitive, and wisest version of you.
So if your curiosity is piqued, or a quiet inner voice is nudging you to explore, I invite you to listen. Book a free consultation or reach out with your questions. Let’s find out what your inner world is ready to show you.
With warmth and wonder,
