FAQ
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state created by using a specific language and focused attention. This process creates a state of absorption that alters your brain wave activity, as if your system was beginning to fall asleep. But you do not fall asleep. Hypnosis is not sleep. Although most people feel very relaxed, they can still remember most of their experience.
As your conscious mind relaxes, new solutions begins to arise in your awareness. This experience can help you change how you think, feel and behave in your life. This process can be liberating and can bring about change quickly.
To a certain degree, we all experience some level of light hypnotic trance regularly but we usually do not make the most out of it. We often times hypnotize ourselves in a negative way, programing our subconscious mind to do the opposite of what we truly want!
In a session, we recreate this state of absorption, deepen it, and use it toward your goal. New perspectives and feelings can now flow more easily to help you re-balance yourself and better overcome the challenges in front of you.
What is hypnotherapy?
It is the practice of applying therapeutic processes within the hypnotic state for the purpose of creating a change in someone’s life.
Do you take credit or debit cards?
Yes, I do. I also take cash and checks.
Do you take insurance?
I do not. Some people can pay with their HSA card. In some cases, your insurance may reimburse the cost of the sessions, if you get a doctor’s referral.
How do I set up my first appointment?
To know more or schedule a session you’ll first need to schedule a 30-minute complimentary phone consultation. You can do it by clicking on the scheduling button below.
You can also send me a message via the form at the bottom of the website.
This first conversation allows me to answer all your questions and helps us know if we are a good fit.
Are online sessions available? And are they effective?
Yes! People have had amazing experiences while staying in the comfort of their home. It works!
What should I expect during my first session?
First, we’ll take a moment to talk about your goal and define it as clearly as possible. I will ask you some questions related to your problem but will quickly direct the session toward finding new solutions.
This is not psychoanalysis or other forms of psychotherapy. We do not dwell on the problem. We identify it and help you shift into a resourceful state where you can move forward.
Then, I help you go into the hypnotic state by giving you suggestions very easy to follow. Once you are in this more relaxed state, I take you on a journey to empower yourself and make the change you wanted.
Once the change is integrated, I bring you back to your normal everyday state. We usually do a short briefing and off you go forward to your life.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Yes, most people can. However, not every approach works with everyone. Studying different ways to induce a hypnotic state has given me the ability to adapt to most anyone who comes to my office.
Can I drive after my session?
Most people come alone and have no problem driving after their session.
Can you make me do things I don't want to do?
I can’t, and I don’t want to! You are not under my control. I am simply guiding you into a state where you can change more easily. Through this process, you are the one gaining more control in your life.
Can I get stuck under hypnosis?
No you can’t. You don’t get stuck in your sleep, and it’s the same for hypnosis.
Can a parent stay in the room with her child during the session?
Yes, of course. It works.
Do I need to believe in hypnosis for it to work?
Nope. All you need is an open mind and a commitment to changing. Of course, if you believe that it doesn’t work, why show up?
