Frequently Asked Questions
Does hypnosis really work?
Yes! Hypnosis is an effective way to heal and create lasting change in our lives. Hypnosis allows us to clear out limiting beliefs, old ways of thinking, and replace them with new, healthy, positive images and beliefs that enable us to move toward the life we want to create for ourselves.
Can hypnosis make me do things I don’t want to?
No. You can’t be made to do anything you don’t want to do in hypnosis. In hypnosis, you retain power over your ability to act upon suggestions.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Being hypnotized can feel different for each person; however, here are some common themes: Feeling deeply relaxed, focused concentration, heightened senses, and detachment.
What should I expect during a session?
You should expect to have a consultation where you discuss goals and address challenges with your hypnotherapist. The hypnotherapist will then guide you through the process of relaxing. Once you appear to be relaxed and ready, the hypnotherapists will begin guiding you through the process needed to make the change YOU selected, using words YOU spoke, during the consultation. This is usually done by the hypnotherapist guiding you through a scenario created to personalize the experience and help the client achieve their goals. When your hypnotherapist feels the session is complete, they will slowly bring you out of your trance. The session will finish with some follow up questions and some forwarding action.
How often should the sessions be done? How many sessions do I need?
It depends on the client and the goal. Some hypnotherapy sessions can be done in a single, extended session. Other issues may need to be tackled in more frequent sessions over a longer period. It is better to estimate the number of sessions needed without being specific. For example, smoking cessation can take around 3-7 sessions, and anxiety can take around 1-3 sessions. However, sessions with the goal of weight management cannot be accurately estimated. There are too many moving variables involved.
Can you help me forget a terrible experience I went through?
Your subconscious will continue to remember the event. What we will do is heal the experience so that the resulting negative feelings or trauma begin to dissipate.
Is there a guarantee? How will I know it worked?
I don’t offer a guarantee. Every journey is unique, and together, we will take that journey to complete your goal. You’ll know it has worked when you have achieved the specific goal we’ve set together.
What if I can't be hypnotized?
Our minds go in and out of hypnosis all day, everyone with normal brain function can be hypnotized. When you work with a hypnotherapist, you go into hypnosis intentionally to create specific change.
Hypnosis FAQ
What is an Intuitive Reading?
An intuitive spiritual reading is a one-on-one session where a practitioner uses their inner "knowing" and heightened senses to perceive and interpret spiritual energy, emotions, and insights about an individual's life path, current situation, and subconscious, with the goal of providing clarity, guidance, and healing. Rather than predicting the future, these readings focus on helping individuals reconnect with their "inner wisdom," understand spiritual patterns, and make decisions with greater confidence.
What happens during a reading?
Tuning into energy: I tune into the client's energy field, including their aura and chakras, to gather information.
Receiving messages: Insights may come through various senses, including words, images, physical sensations, or emotional impressions.
Connecting to Spirit: Messages can also come from spirit guides, angels, or loved ones in spirit.
Providing Guidance: Messages for the client's highest good are then relayed to the individual to offer guidance, validation, and to help them move forward.
What is the Purpose?
Self-discovery and healing: To help individuals understand their true selves, their life's purpose, and to facilitate healing on a mental, physical, and spiritual level.
Clarity and understanding: To bring clarity to current situations and help individuals see underlying issues or patterns that may be blocking their progress.
Empowerment: To enable individuals to make confident decisions and live their highest purpose by connecting them with their own inner wisdom.
How does intuition work?
Beyond the Five Senses: Intuition is a knowing that comes from a source other than the rational, analytical mind, allowing for the perception of energy and information in ways not normally perceived.
A Tool for perception: It is considered a form of spiritual perception that allows for direct connection with a higher power, one's own spirit, and the spirit of others.
Can be developed: Just like a muscle, intuition and psychic abilities can be underdeveloped but strengthened with practice, allowing for a deeper connection to one’s inner knowing.
Tarot and Oracle Cards
I use tarot and oracle cards in conjunction with intuitive readings when requested. Tarot and Oracle card reading are divination and self-reflection tools that can help you gain perspective, options, guidance, and creative approaches, and gain deeper insights into yourself and your spiritual development. They can also help gain clarity into life matters such as career, relationships, creative practices, and more.
Typically, readings allow you to uncover and observe current patterns, cycles, and lessons that you are dealing with in the present moment. From there, we can explore what changes need to be made or blocks that need to be removed to achieve our desired outcome in the future. I do not provide predictions of fixed or final future outcomes, as energy can change based on the power of your intention and focused attention.
