During this FREE 15-minute consult, we will explore together goals, desired outcomes, and if hypnosis is a fit for you.
SESSION F.A.Q.
Format & cadence (typical):
110 minutes for the first visit; 50–80 minutes for follow-ups. Many goals see meaningful progress in 3–6 sessions; some benefit from a short maintenance plan. You’ll leave each session with practical steps to achieving your goal(s).
What to expect during a hypnosis session:
Our session(s) will usually begin with a conversation. We will discuss your goal(s), the hypnosis process, and any questions you might have.
Through hypnosis, I help you let go of physical tension and get your mind into a state similar to pre- and post-sleep, daydreaming, or meditation. Hypnosis is most often experienced as a state of intensified physical relaxation and mental focus. You remain conscious throughout the session, interacting with me during hypnosis by signaling or speaking. Hypnosis is not sleep, and you do not lose control. Many people experience some dissociation (i.e. “blanking out”) during hypnosis, but this does not hinder the process. In fact, it can enhance the effectiveness of hypnotic suggestions towards your intended goal(s).
When hypnosis is concluded, it is normal to feel so relaxed that you don’t want to move. You can emerge from hypnosis slowly and gently, and you will be able to go about your day normally.
Cancellations/Missed Appointments:
If you cancel an appointment with less than 48 hours notice or miss your appointment, you will be charged for the appointment.
Professional ethics:
I am a Certified Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and practice in accordance with its Code of Ethics and Standards. If you ever have a complaint about my services or behavior that I cannot resolve for you personally you may contact the National Guild of Hypnotists to seek redress.
Confidentiality and privacy:
I maintain the confidentiality of all knowledge and information concerning my clients. I will not tell anyone that you are my client. I may disclose information only when required by law or when authorized by those responsible for the client’s care.
SCOPE OF PRACTICE
As a hypnotist, my role is to help you resolve everyday problems using hypnosis. I am not a medical doctor or mental health practitioner. I do not diagnose, prescribe, treat, cure, or heal any physical, mental, or emotional illness. The services I render are not a form of health care, psychotherapy, or counseling. The physical and mental well-being of each client is my primary consideration. I recommend that you seek medical and/or professional help when appropriate. Hypnosis is not a substitute for medical treatments or medications. I will withhold non-referred hypnotic services if a client’s behavior, appearance or statements would lead a reasonable person to believe that the client should be evaluated by a licensed health care professional, and will provide services to such clients only after evaluation and with the approval of the licensed health care professional. If you need a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, I will assist in a coordinated transfer of services to another practitioner.
I do not perform hypnosis for unrealistic goals or inappropriate requests. For example, I will not hypnotize someone for another person to determine whether they are telling the truth, or to exert outside influence on them.
