Hypnosis is a process that allows a person's conscious and subconscious minds to believe the same message. During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed state, while the subconscious mind remains awake, alert, and receptive to suggestion.

Many people have experienced times when their conscious and subconscious minds weren't "on the same page." Let's look at smoking as an example. Most smokers know many reasons why they should quit smoking — health concerns or social stigma — and yet they still smoke. Despite their strong desire to quit, it seems like no amount of "will power" can overcome this habit. If there's been a change that you've tried in vain to make, you've probably experienced something very similar.

That's where hypnosis comes in.

Hypnosis provides access to that "part" of the mind where your habits and ingrained beliefs are formed, allowing real, permanent change takes place.

Together, we will work to make your life follow the road you choose.

What will my session be like? How many sessions will we have?

Hypnosis sessions tend to be very pleasant and relaxing. We'll talk for a few minutes, then I'll begin to help you become hypnotized. You'll sit in the hypnosis chair, close your eyes, relax, and just listen as I talk to you and lead you naturally and easily into hypnosis.

During hypnosis, you are always in control. It is impossible for me or any hypnotist to make you do anything that you don't want to do. You will remember your session and be able to talk about it afterward. This may be a surprise to you if most of what you know about hypnosis comes from TV and the movies, but it's true.

The number of sessions you'll have depends on what your goal is. The weight control program I offer consists of six sessions. Becoming a non-smoker requires just one session.

Other goals require a varying number of sessions, but most people can get their maximum benefit from as few as two or three sessions.

Whatever your goal, we'll work together to get you what you want from life.
