FAQ's

What will the first hypnosis session involve?

Your first session will primarily be exploratory. This session could take as long as 1-1/2 hours. One hour for the discovery interview portion and approximately 30 minutes for the hypnosis session. You will learn about hypnotism and become comfortable with it. Your hypnotist will discuss your interests and your desires to adapt to you as an individual. Your hypnotist will also use this information to design suggestions personalized for you which will be acceptable to your subconscious mind. This will allow your subconscious mind to retain and act upon the suggestions in a manner leading to full achievement of your goals.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually, one session of hypnosis is all that is necessary for smoking cessation and other unwanted habits. Sometimes a follow up session is necessary for reinforcement. Weight control clients do best with weekly sessions of hypnosis for the first three weeks. Follow up sessions can be scheduled every month or so if the client finds it necessary for continued weight control success. There can be many reasons for smoking, being overweight, and other unwanted habits. Each session will focus on the separate reasons with their beneficial suggestions.

*Please be advised... I will not work with a client on multiple areas of change, in the same session, unless they are directly related to one another.

Are there any side effects to hypnosis?

Some individuals become groggy or mellow after a hypnosis session. This is why I ask you to remain in a reclined position for a few minutes and enjoy the state of relaxation. You'll usually get a good night's sleep as this is one of the beneficial suggestions you will receive upon awaking.

When would you conduct Life Coaching sessions by phone?

I offer Life Coaching sessions by phone for those clients that are not able to make it to my office for their coaching sessions. Coaching by phone is an easily accessible and effective way to help you achieve your goals in the privacy of your own home or office, at a convenient time for your schedule. By utilizing Life Coaching, either by phone or private session, you can overcome unwanted habits, achieve your personal goals, and create the life that you have only dreamt was possible.

Is my privacy protected?

All information provided by you will be kept strictly confidential. I choose to follow the same HIPAA confidentiality laws that apply to counselors and doctors. I will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your approval.

What is hypnosis and how does it work?

Hypnosis is not sleep. In most cases the subject is fully aware of communication and is able to respond on request either verbally or by signal. Nor is unconsciousness involved. A subject asked to make specific movement will comply with the request unless it is objectionable, in which case there will be a refusal.

Have you ever driven somewhere and reached your destination not remembering much about the trip getting there? That is called Highway Hypnosis. You were not sleeping. You would have been able to respond if there were an emergency on the road, true? This is very similar to the state of mind you are in under hypnosis. Awake and aware of everything going on around you.

There is no surrender of mind or control. A person who does not want to be hypnotized cannot be hypnotized or be induced to do or say anything which violates personal standards of behavior or integrity.

All Hypnosis if self-hypnosis. All a hypnotist does is facilitate a person into the hypnosis process.

Does Hypnosis Work?

In essence, hypnosis is a means of communication between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Many human problems, habits, stresses, anxieties, attitudes or apparent deficiencies can be traced to interpretations by the subconscious mind which, when understood by the conscious mind, can reduce or resolve specific problems. Using the power of suggestion in hypnosis, to change or eliminate old programing, is what makes this process work.

Will I get stuck in hypnosis?

No, all you have to do is open your eyes and tell yourself to come back to the state you were in before the session and you are out of hypnosis.

What if I am very strong-willed or strong-minded?

Your strong mind will work in your favor! You and your hypnotist are working together to achieve the same goal; the benefits you're seeking with the use of hypnosis.

How will I know if I'm doing it right?

If this is your first time using hypnosis relax and enjoy the experience. There is no right or wrong way. Allow yourself to get completely comfortable. When I request for you to close your eyes, just let them close and focus on the sound of my voice. By focusing on the sound of my voice you will allow yourself to enter a state of hypnosis; ready to receive your beneficial suggestions. It is normal for the mind to wander during hypnosis! This is an indication that you are entering into the state of hypnosis. The purpose of my relaxation deepening technique is to bore your conscience mind so it will allow access to your subconscious mind. If you notice your mind wandering you can bring it back to the sound of my voice or let your mind keep wandering. Either way your subconscious mind will receive the beneficial suggestions.

Do you charge for a consultation?

No. All consultations are free of charge.

Do I need an appointment??

Yes! All sessions are by appointment only.

May I bring someone with me?

You are welcome to bring someone with you as long as they are an adult. Children can be disruptive during the hypnosis process and I want you to get the most out of your hypnosis session. Keep in mind, it is not unusual for sessions to take one to 1-1/2 hours. There is a small waiting area, therefore your guest will not be in the same room with you during your discovery interview and hypnosis session.

Are there any former clients I can contact about your services?

Yes, my clients are happy to recommend my services. Please call me for the contact information.
