Hypnosis is a relaxed state of mind much like having a daydream, meditating, or being really engrossed in a good book or movie. Have you ever noticed that some of your best ideas and solutions occur while you are taking a shower, or on a peaceful walk in nature? This is because we are shifting into a slower, more relaxed brainwave state just like we do in hypnosis. This allows us to tap into a more vast part of our consciousness that is creative, imaginative, non-defensive, and intuitive, facilitating access to new ideas and solutions. This is the subconscious mind.

The number of sessions needed varies for each individual and depends on the specific goals and progress made. Typically, clients see results within a few sessions.

Yes, hypnotherapy is safe when conducted by a trained and certified hypnotherapist, and the client is always in control. Much like a daydream, it is a natural state of mind that everyone experiences daily. A session can offer new perspectives and insights leading to lasting change.

Hypnosis can help you create positive changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through customized personal sessions, we will explore and uncover the root cause of unwanted patterns and create new healthy ones to help you achieve your goals. Hypnotherapy can help you to overcome and release inner obstacles, resolve inner conflict, and create new neural pathways. It is also a wonderful tool to help calm the nervous system.

No, you cannot be forced to do something against your will or moral principles in the state of hypnosis. It is not a loss of control but rather a state of heightened inner awareness and focused attention. People in trance retain their ethical boundaries and will reject any suggestion that goes against their values or desires. Ethical hypnotherapists prioritize the well-being and consent of their clients, ensuring that suggestions and therapeutic techniques align with the client's goals and preferences.

Just like having a conversation, going to lunch with a friend, or watching a movie, you will remember what happens in your session. The subconscious mind records everything, so even if the conscious mind forgets, we might remember later when something brings up an association to that memory. For example if you wake up in the morning not recalling any dreams, later that day you might see a dog run across the street and say "Hey, that reminds me, I had a dream about a dog!" During hypnosis you are aware of what is going on and the hypnotherapist guides you to connect with your own subconscious mind for the outcome you request.
