Many people expect hypnosis to be strange and bizarre. Instead, it is a very pleasant experience similar to that time frame just before you go to sleep, when you can hear whatever is going on around you but you feel relaxed and comfortable. The brain waves of that period are the same as when you are in a hypnotic state.

The experience of hypnosis allows you to relax. In the process, tensions and pressures of the day start to disappear. As you relax, many thoughts may pass through your mind – but that’s okay. You may feel comfortably light or pleasantly heavy and you are more likely to follow suggestions than at other times. If you want to change your life, your lifestyle, your habits, you must first change your mind.

Clinical Hypnotherapy Can Help

Smokers break the habit
Traditionally, an individual smoking cessation program requires three sessions to address the individual patient's emotional and behavior responses to the habit of smoking. This program is designed to uncover and release the unconscious motivation behind the smoking habit patterns.
Reduce stress
Our program offers a multi-session protocol focusing on recognizing and releasing existing stressors and improving responses to stress without drugs. To maintain an optimal level of health we address restoring sleep, reducing fatigue, and motivating clients to comply with physician prescribed drug therapy and diet and exercise program
Alleviate pain and enhance healing (physician referral required)
Hypnotherapy can help reduce pain levels, relieve anxiety and depression. Minimally, it can alleviate enough of the chronic pain to allow patient to reduce the amount of medication necessary to remain comfortable. This is of major importance to physicians and patients alike.
Confident, Comfortable Childbirth
Women who practice self-hypnosis during pregnancy experience shorter labor times and are more relaxed to push productively at birthing. Hypnosis has shown to help reduce cases of pre-eclampsia as well.
Control over eating and help with weight loss
Under a physician's care a diet and exercise can help patients achieve success, but often patients hit those emotional road blocks about food, health, beauty, and safety that may hinder continued progress. Hypnosis can uncover those blocks, increase motivation to continue reducing at the healthiest pace for individual success, instilling lasting positive lifestyle changes.
