Both coaching and hypnosis have the purpose of helping you shift unconscious patterns, gain clarity, and create space for new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Hypnosis may be particularly effective at addressing deeper subconscious issues. Coaching, on the other hand, is more conversational and focuses on conscious exercises. Together, they work in harmony—hypnosis is used to help shift deep patterns, while coaching may help you move forward with clarity. My sessions usually combine both, with a greater emphasis on hypnosis to support deeper transformation.

If you’ve ever been absorbed in a good book or movie, you’ve already experienced a kind of hypnosis. It’s simply a natural, focused state of mind that may give you greater access to shift unconscious patterns. In fact, we move in and out of these “trance-like” states every day. Hypnosis just uses this natural ability to help you experience the changes you want to experience in a session with me.

Many people experience a deeply relaxed yet focused state during a session. This may be because, according to neuroscience, hypnosis is associated with shifts in brainwave activity—particularly into alpha and theta states, which are linked to calm focus and a greater ability for inner change.

Yes, absolutely! You are always in control during hypnosis. You will only think, feel, and make changes that align with your values. Think of it as a state where you're deeply relaxed and more open to positive change that’s uniquely right for you.

Coaching and hypnosis may support a shift in how you respond to everyday challenges by working with the subconscious mind. It’s not the thoughts about your circumstances but how those thoughts show up—big or small, near or far, loud or quiet—that can influence how you feel. Mindfulness and awareness play an important role, too. Coaching and hypnosis may support the process of changing old thought patterns and reconnecting with a sense of inner calm and confidence within.

It’s been said that the only two fears we are born with are the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises and that every other fear is learned. Stimulating the relaxation response, which has been said to increase neuroplasticity, and offering positive new suggestions—all a part of coaching and hypnosis with me—may be very effective at significantly reducing unnecessary fear responses so you can feel naturally calm and confident in more areas of life. 

With coaching and hypnosis, many people find they're able to shift their relationship to past experiences. These approaches work by gently accessing the subconscious mind, where old patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses are often stored, and then using guided exercises or hypnosis to help shift those patterns. Rather than feeling stuck in old emotional loops, you may be able to respond to those memories with more ease and clarity. Sessions often support a sense of releasing old patterns and reconnecting with a sense of inner calm and confidence.

Smoking or excess scrolling, eating, drinking, shopping (and the list goes on) all serve a positive intent. We engage in bad habits to avoid an undesirable state—usually stress and anxiety—or to achieve a desired state of mind. Coaching and hypnosis may be effective at helping us manage stress and anxiety and achieve those desired states naturally, without those bad habits, so that those bad habits just seem to fall away on their own.

Firstly, some procrastination may exists for a good reason—you may not truly want to work toward that specific goal, or the timing might be off. In that case, procrastination could actually be your inner wisdom holding you back until other pieces fall into place. But when it comes to the things you genuinely want to pursue—and the timing is right—coaching and hypnosis can help you get into action. By changing subconscious thought patterns, you may find yourself naturally feeling more motivated, getting things done, and actually feeling good about it.

Self-sabotage may simply be created by the thoughts that you accidentally absorbed when you were young—about holding back, playing small, fearing success—all because you believed holding back would keep you safe. Coaching and hypnosis may help de-link the feeling from those fear thoughts and teach your subconscious mind that it is safe to move forward with authentic goals and self-expression.

Many people feel unclear about what they really want simply because they haven’t taken the time to explore it. Some experience an inner whisper or a subtle nudge—a glimpse of clarity—but haven’t yet made space for that clarity to fully develop. Coaching and hypnosis may help you build the habit of creating the time and mental space needed for clarity to grow. When combined with releasing any doubts or fears that arise along the way, clarity becomes your natural default, and that clarity guides your actions.

During your free chat, we’ll explore your goals and challenges to see if hypnosis or coaching is a good fit for you. I’ll aim to help you get a clear understanding of how the process works, what to expect in a session, and how we can work together to help you make the changes you're looking for. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have so you can decide if (or when) you feel confident about booking a session.

Hypnosis often works just as effectively online as it does in person. Many people find that being in the comfort of their own home helps them relax more deeply, making the experience even more powerful. Online sessions allow us to connect and work together, no matter where you are.

This varies from person to person. For specific issues—such as stress and anxiety relief, gaining emotional freedom from the past, or reducing unhelpful fear responses—some clients notice significant shifts after just one session. Others benefit from a few additional sessions to reinforce the results. For more in-depth work—like personal growth, life coaching, dating coaching, or developing communication and relationship skills—multiple sessions provide the space and time needed to fully integrate your transformation into everyday life.
