Frequently Asked Questions
How does hypnotherapy work?Don’t worry. Hypnotherapy won’t make you cluck like a chicken or howl like a dog.
The purpose of hypnotherapy is to relax the body and mind enough allow suggestions—positive suggestions— to sink into your subconscious mind, so that you will be able to rise above your old limitations, fears, habits and physical ailments.
The willpower of the conscious mind, which accounts for about 12 percent of your brain power, is usually not enough to create lasting changes in your life because it is battling your subconscious mind, which makes up about 88 percent of your mind.It is the subconscious mind that stores all of our memories, both good and bad, and motivates our actions.
Through hypnosis, which is a deep state of relaxation, we can communicate with the subconscious mind to eliminate negative behaviors and create lasting positive change.

Can hypnosis force me to do something I don’t want to?
No. While hypnosis can be very relaxing, your conscious mind will still be aware of all that is being said, and if something makes you uncomfortable, you can snap out of hypnosis at any time.
Is it possible to get stuck in hypnosis?
No. In hypnosis, you remain in control at all times. In fact, most people find that they become more aware of their surroundings than in a normal, conscious state.
Because of this, you can easily snap out of the trance state if you feel uncomfortable or in the event of an emergency. Even if your therapist left the room and never returned, you would return to your full alertness whenever you were ready.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes. As a recent graduate of Hypnosis Motivation Institute, I am familiar with the latest breakthroughs in hypnosis, including ways to hypnotize people that were once thought to be unhypnotizable. I test each client’s suggestibility to determine which technique will work for that client.
Is hypnosis evil?
No. Actually, the mind enters a natural state of hypnosis many times throughout the day-when you’re engrossed in a movie or book, when you space out while driving long distances, and when you are in that half-conscious stage between waking and sleeping before you fall asleep each night.The belief that hypnosis is evil is probably stems from the mystique surrounding stage hypnotists, who seek to entertain the masses by making a few poor saps perform otherwise humiliating tricks.
Hypnotherapy is completely different. It’s purpose is different.
It’s designed to help you improve your life. It is very gentle, relaxing, and the only suggestions you will receive will be the ones you want.
However, I also offer NLP and TimeLine Therapy to those who are uncomfortable or unwilling to undergo hypnosis. The client remains fully conscious during these highly effective therapies.
What are Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy, and how can they help me?
Your brain is like a very sophisticated computer that runs programs—good programs and bad ones.NLP gives us the tools to delete the less productive programs in favor of more productive ones.
Time Line Therapy allows us to release old negative emotions and limiting beliefs.
