No watch. No crystals. No spirals.

Hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, is a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It’s a type of mind-body medicine. We’ve all heard the adage, “Change your thinking, change your life.” Hypnotherapy is an effective and powerful way to do that.

how does it work?

The hypnotherapist will guide you into a deep state of relaxation and focus with verbal cues, metaphors, imagery, and stories. Your conscious mind is quieted and you’re able to tap into the part of your brain where beliefs, emotions, memory, and most importantly, behaviors originate.
