State of the Art 220+ Hour Certification Training, IACT (International Association of Counselors and Therapists) Approved

Hypnosis is a state of enhanced, focused attention. It is a state we all naturally and spontaneously enter several times a day. Have you ever driven your car along the highway and missed your exit because you were focused on something else, or watched a movie and not heard certain noises in the room or your name being called because you were so focused on the movie? These are natural states of hypnosis. When you daydream, you are in a state of self hypnosis. The mind is focusing intently on something specific. All hypnosis is self hypnosis.

In hypnotherapy, we offer specific techniques and tools for individuals to discover clarity in their lives and reach specific goals promoting behavior change while in a state of relaxation. The process of hypnosis is really a process of guided relaxation, of just relaxing and letting go of stress, tension or worries. Once you feel relaxed, I guide you with specific tools to help achieve your desired goal through the use of guided imagery and other techniques. You will be conscious, aware and in control throughout the process.

Upon completion of both modules and required coursework, along with successful submission and approval of case studies, you will be eligible to practice hypnosis in accordance with your state guidelines in a clinical and spiritual capacity.

This is a type of hypnosis that considers the whole person in body, mind and spirit, and operates on the belief that each human being possesses the answers and guidance within. As a transpersonal, client-centered hypnotherapist, your job is to help the individual connect to his/her own inner intuitive voice while accessing both the subconscious and superconscious minds. While there are times you assist the process with specific helpful and transformative techniques, the guidance lies within and ultimately, you are there to assist each person with connecting to that.
