Heart-Centered Healing
When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.

The word "hypnotherapy" brings up different things in everyone. I would love to give you a taste of the truth and explain how this process is one of the most effective healing techniques available. As far as healing modalities go, it is so much faster and more effective than talk therapy and has the capability to heal on a deeper and more integrated level in the subconscious mind. Okay, so let's dive in.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. We are all capable of entering the ‘trance-like’ state without much work. We move back and forth between the two portions of the mind throughout the day, about 80% of the time, in fact. Without knowing, we self-hypnotize, and live in the state of ‘trance’ for much of the day (90% of the mind). But the mind knows to return to the conscious 10% when needed. If you wonder if this happens to you, you can think back to a time when you drove some place, and arrived without remembering how you got there. (How many times have you thought...did I pass the exit or the location?) Or how about a time when you were in the middle of a class or a conversation with someone, and had no clue what they were talking about? You were in a ‘trance’! When hypnosis is performed by a professional, it is a method of relaxation with specific intentions. It is, what I call, a directed, intentional, guided meditation. You are relaxed, and fully conscious, just like when you are driving or meditating. 
The Conscious and Subconscious Mind:
The mind is comprised of two parts: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind, which uses only 10% of our potential, is where we analyze, think, process and plan. This is where our short-term memory is housed. The other 90% is the subconscious mind, where all the memories are stored. Everything you have ever experienced is recorded in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the place of long-term memory, emotions and feelings, habit patterns, relationship patterns, addictions, creativity, spiritual connections and intuition. |
Hypnotherapy can be used effectively to help you overcome the following issues:
Hypnotherapy offers a powerful healing experience. It has been found to work much faster than more traditional talk therapy and heals on a much deeper level. It is highly effective in treating a wide range of issues, from early trauma, abuse, phobias, addiction, unhealthy relationship patterns, emotional eating, grief and loss, and so many more. This process helps people not only discover the actual source of these issues but truly feel empowered to create the necessary changes they want to see in their life. Deeper awareness and compassionate connection to the most vulnerable parts of the self gives people a sense of being whole and complete. While we may already "know what our issues are", we sometimes feel stuck to break through and move forward into the life we really want to be living - that's when we know it's time to go deeper...

Hypnotherapy is used in several ways:
- Changing negative self-talk (those downloaded tapes we replay over and over in our minds) to positive self-talk and practicing affirmations.
- Being able to go directly to the source of the problem through a series of regressions and get to where the pattern began.
- To experience a deep sense of relaxation.
- To discover and change old negative conclusions and behaviors to new healthy conclusions and behaviors.
