Deep exploration. Transformational healing. A safe space to reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful and natural state of focused awareness that allows us to access the subconscious and higher self — two terms I use interchangeably — where deeper insight, healing, and transformation are possible.

In this expanded state of consciousness, we explore the root causes behind patterns, beliefs, emotional blocks, or questions that have been difficult to resolve through thinking alone. Many clients come with a desire to understand themselves more fully, release something that no longer serves them, or receive guidance from their higher self on relationships, life purpose, health, or direction.

Whether you're new to hypnosis or experienced in inner work, this process is designed to support you — at your own pace, in your own way.

Your session is a full experience, set aside just for you. We book the entire day so there's no rush and no pressure — only spaciousness, safety, and support. 

Here’s how a typical session unfolds:

Getting to Know You

We begin by getting comfortable in the space. We’ll take time — however long you need — to talk about your life, your current challenges, your goals for the session, and your questions for your subconscious and higher self.

You're invited to bring a list of personal questions you would like answered during hypnosis. These can relate to any area of your life — emotional, spiritual, physical, or practical. Part of our pre-hypnosis conversation includes reviewing these questions together, making sure you feel ready, supported, and clear.

Entering the Hypnotic State

When you feel ready, I’ll gently guide you into hypnosis. This state is deeply relaxed, yet alert and aware. Your conscious mind quiets, allowing your subconscious and higher self to come forward.

This part of the session often lasts hours — depending entirely on your unique process and what arises. Some clients experience vivid imagery, emotional insight, or direct communication with their inner wisdom. Others experience a calm, quiet sense of knowing.

Your entire hypnosis experience is recorded, and the only copy is given to you when the session ends. Like all my services, your experience is held in strict confidence — protected and honored with the same ethical care as psychotherapy. 

After hypnosis, we’ll spend as much time as needed debriefing. Some people feel energized and talkative. Others feel reflective or quiet. All of that is welcome. We’ll support your integration with care, helping you process anything that came up, and offering guidance for the hours and days ahead. 

The cost for this full-day hypnotherapy experience is $500.

This reflects the depth and personalization of the work. The entire day is reserved just for you, so we have the freedom to move at your pace, without time constraints or pressure. From getting to know one another, to exploring your life and questions, to the full hypnosis session and post-session integration — each step is given the space it needs to unfold naturally.

Many clients find profound clarity and relief after just one visit. Others may feel called to return again — sometimes months or even years later — when new growth, life changes, or deeper questions arise.

Do you or someone you know need help but can’t afford the full cost?
