What is Hypnosis?
Did you know that hypnosis is a natural, everyday trance state we all go into? Hypnosis is an overload mechanism that allows you to enter into a natural trance state, a more receptive state to enter into our subconscious mind. For example, we’re in hypnosis roughly about half an hour before we go to sleep. And we’re in hypnosis shortly after we wake up. So in that example, hypnosis is the transition between wake and sleep and sleep and waking. This is why many healers and teachers in the spiritual community emphasize mindfulness in what you consume/watch before bed and first thing in the morning.
The Conscious Mind makes up 12% of our total mind power. The Subconscious Mind where our associations are stored? 88%!!
Why does this matter? What we have is a situation where 12% of your mind wants to move into a particular direction, but in the subconscious mind, 88% of it is pulling you in the opposite direction based on how it’s been conditioned through your life experiences and scripts.
Therefore, Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy are very powerful and natural tools to tap into your own subconscious mind to achieve a wide array of issues, conditions, habits, and desires.
Two key concepts to keep in mind:
Homeostasis: Homeostasis is our innate unconscious drive to “stay the same”, resisting all changes at a subconscious level. While at the conscious level we desire a certain change, at a deeper level our subconscious defense mechanisms seek to preserve the status quo, sabotaging our success and/or efforts to change.
Neuroplasticity: The ability of the brain to change throughout an individual’s life. Our emotional responses and behavioral habits are dependent on the flexibility and receptivity of our mind. Hypnosis and mindfulness are some tools used in hypnotherapy to facilitate the internal, emotional, behavioral flexibility need to overcome homeostasis and release our subconscious needs to sabotage our success or resist our desires for the changes we seek consciously.

What to Expect
In our first session, we will be discussing your goals and what you would like to achieve, and will be performing a "Suggestibility" assessment. This assessment will determine the type of hypnotic inductions and suggestions that are best aligned with how you process information to ensure proper hypnotic depth is achieved. From there, we will proceed with the formal induction process, progressive relaxation, hypnotic suggestions, and a count-out to safely bring you out of hypnosis. Subsequent sessions will build upon the initial induction and will help you get deeper into your subconscious mind, yielding stronger results.
Every hypnosis portion of the session will be recorded with your consent, and will be available for you to download & listen in between sessions for reinforcement.
Please note that you will be completely awake and aware of everything being said during the session, and may even become hyper aware of sounds around you. This is completely normal and expected.
The number of sessions required varies, but it will most likely require more than one session to achieve your desired results.
My Story
After my shamanic awakening in early 2019, I had so many questions and a lot of fear. As I underwent my own healing journey, I felt profound shifts to my state of being through energy healing, and the lessons they unveiled around my past stories- bringing light to experiences that once existed in the darkest of my memories.
Even so, while spiritually and consciously I knew how to make decisions towards my highest purpose, I felt like my subconscious mind was determined to revert me back to what once was- my old life script.
I realized then that in order to fully get into alignment, I needed all aspects of my existence to move in the same direction but didn’t know how. And through synchronicities, a “suggested” video popped up on my YouTube feed and it was Michael Sealy’s hypnosis video around meeting my future self.
I was highly skeptical with the whole concept of hypnosis, but something told me to try it out with an open mind. That experience blew me away, which led me to additional videos including past-life regressions that filled in a lot of missing pieces around my current life experiences.
The results I’ve achieved personally through hypnosis to complement my spiritual practices has had a profound impact in getting more fully aligned with my purpose-driven service work, and reprogramming self-sabotaging behaviors stemming from painful life experiences. So I decided to pursue extensive training and certification to understand our subconscious minds, and offer this amazing modality as a full spectrum offering to my clients as well.
