I'M a person who likes to be in control and

am NERVOUS ABOUT "LOSING" or "giving up" CONTROL

Hypnosis isn't about losing control, it's actually about gaining control over your life. You are both aware and in charge of everything that is happening throughout the whole session. Many first time clients have voiced this concern but then laughed about it afterwards because they realized that hypnosis really does help you gain, not lose control.

DOES INSURANCE COVER HYPNOTHERAPY?

I do not accept insurance or bill insurance on your behalf.

Is there anything I should do before my session?

To get the most out of your hypnotherapy session:

1. Please refrain from recreational drugs and alcohol for 24 hours.

2. Try to eat something light and protein based before your visit.

3. I want you to be as comfortable as possible, so if you have the option, wear your comfy clothes. Don't dress up for me.

Will it be like I'm sleeping?

No. You will be aware of everything and in a higher state of focus. Your mind will be sharper and your senses will be heightened. Here's an interesting fact though:

Every 15 minutes in hypnosis is equal to about 2 hours of good quality sleep!

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?

Absolutely not. You can exit the hypnotic state at anytime.

What does it feel like?

My clients describe it as a very relaxing experience and more enjoyable than they ever imagined. Most want to stay under a little longer - that's how good it feels.

Will I know what's going on?

Yes, you will be aware of everything that is happening. You can hear and respond to everything during hypnosis and are an active participant during the process. If you need, you can scratch an itch or adjust your body to a more comfortable like position.

I'm concerned that I may "spill the beans" or be

programmed to do something against my will.

Because hypnosis puts YOU in control, you will never say or do anything that is against your will, your morals or your better judgment. Most people are surprised to find out that they have thoughts running through their head while under hypnosis. That's because you're not unconscious, you are in a very focused state of awareness and in total control of everything you say. It's not a truth serum, there's no spilling the beans, no zombie like trance, no mind control. It's just not possible...no matter what you've seen on TV or in the movies.

Can I be hypnotized?

Yes, everyone (who is willing) has the ability to be hypnotized by a properly trained Hypnotherapist such as myself. Don't worry if you tried to participate in a stage show but didn't get hypnotized. Hypnotherapy is a personalized one-on-one approach that is specific to you and you alone, not a general audience.
