Hypnosis can work on anything that affects the mind.

Being in hypnosis places the client into a heightened yet relaxed state of awareness where they are in total control. Focused attention easily allows for clients to move their "inner critic" aside and gain greater access to the subconscious mind. A hypnotherapist is a facilitator, therefore, hypnotherapy is a cooperative effort.

Hypnotherapists assist clients to:

  • Gain insight
  • Find new solutions
  • Sharpen and enhance focus
  • Re-structure old, restrictive, limiting ideas
  • Re-educate and re-program the subconscious mind
  • Intensify positive feelings
  • Eliminate negative feelings
  • Strengthen sense of self-control
  • Learn to use auto-suggestion/self-hypnosis

Hypnotherapy is profoundly effective for:

Academic/Athletic/Performance Enhancement
Performance/Competition/Test Anxiety
Physical & Mental Relaxation
Stress Management
Re-calibrating Anxiety
Enhancing Focus
Attention Control
Integrating Mind, Body & Spirit
Transforming Fears & Phobias

And more...
