What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of heightened, focused attention best achieved through physical relaxation while you are seated in a comfortable chair. You do not sleep; instead your unconscious mind is alert and receptive to suggestions. During hypnosis, you are aware of everything being said and are always in control. Hypnosis is also an education and communication process that allows your own inner intelligence to help you make the changes you desire. The hypnotist assists you in carrying out the work during each session and teaches you self-hypnosis. Most people find hypnosis to be a pleasant, enjoyable, and successful experience that causes positive change leading to self-empowerment.

Can anyone be hypnotized?
Yes, anyone can be hypnotized. Some people go into a light trance while others go into a deep trance. Your unconscious mind will receive the suggestions in whatever stage of trance your body feels is right for you to make a change. You will also learn self-hypnosis as part of the education process. It will be up to you to create the success you desire based on the outcome you establish.

Who can benefit from hypnosis?
Adults, teens, and children will benefit from work done in hypnosis sessions.
