Hypnosis
All hypnosis is considered self-hypnosis, because you have to allow the process to happen. Over 95% of the population has the ability to be hypnotized. Hypnosis involves making a choice to accept or reject suggestions. No one can be hypnotized against their will. You are in complete control at all times.
“If you are good at being anxious, then you can be good at being hypnotized. In the past you have thought and imagined things happening that have caused your body to physically react and become anxioius”…
Hypnosis is:
Hypnosis is not:
Hypnotism refers to the act of inducing trance like state
A hypnotist is someone who induces the state of hypnosis
A hypnotherapist is a person who induces hypnosis for self-improvement and therapeutic benefits
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT (often known as Tapping or EFT Tapping), is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues
EFT Tapping Works …
EFT is a unique healing process borrowed from the Chinese meridian system. While acupuncture, acupressure primarily focuses on physical ailments,
EFT takes this process and points it also at emotional issues. These, in turn, often provide benefits for performance and physical issues.
EFT combines the physical benefits of acupuncture with the cognitive benefits of conventional therapy for a much faster, more complete treatment of emotional issues, and the physical and performance issues that often result.
While related to acupuncture, EFT does not use needles. Instead, we use a simple two pronged process wherein we (1) mentally “tune in” to specific issues while (2) stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with our fingertips. Properly done, EFT appears to balance disturbances in the meridian system and thus often reduces the conventional therapy procedures from months or years down to minutes or hours. The basic Tapping process is easy to learn, can be done anywhere, and can be used to provide impressive do-it-yourself results.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity and Changing Habits
Current research in neural science highlights that one can use the conscious mind to begin to actively rewire our brains. It refers to the potential that the brain has to reorganize by creating new neural pathways to adapt, as it needs throughout life
Every time we learn something new, our brain is always wiring and re-wiring itself.
I work with clients to help interrupt, habituated patterns that trigger unwanted behaviors like smoking, overeating, or obsessive compulsive behaviors. These simple yet effective techniques, help individuals to identify the trigger, interrupt the trigger and teaches the individual to replace, with new acceptable behavior and responses over time.
“Change is under your control…” “ You can teach an old brain new tricks”
A number of studies have linked meditation practice to differences in cortical thickness or density of gray matter. One of the most well-known studies to demonstrate this was led by Sara Lazar, from Harvard University, in 2000. Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin, has led experiments in cooperation with the Dalai Lama on effects of meditation on the brain. His results suggest that long-term, or short-term practice of meditation results in different levels of activity in brain regions associated with such qualities as attention, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, the ability of the body to heal itself, and so on. These functional changes may be caused by changes in the physical structure of the brain.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Neuro – relates to the mind and how it works.
Linguistic – relates to the ways in which people express or communicate their experience of the world.
Programming – relates to the fact that people behave according to personal “programs” which govern their ways of seeing the world.
How does Hypnosis work with NLP?
When we continue to do things the same way time and time again, we get the same results.
What are you constantly telling yourself?
“I can’t lose weight no matter how hard I try”
“I am not confident”
“I will never be successful”
“I hate myself”
“I can’t _____________”
This means we must do something in a new way in order to get different results.
In my hypnotherapy practice, I sometimes utilize the combination of hypnosis and NLP to assists individuals to make the changes they desire. Hypnosis and NLP both work at the subconscious level, so they are a perfect blend of modalities to assist individuals in reaching their goals.
NLP not only enables you to understand how you think, how you feel, how you make sense of everyday life, it also helps change the ways in which you think, feel, and act in everyday life. NLP incorporates our communication skills to evoke change.
I work with individuals to change the way they perceive situations. When we are able to look at something from a different perspective we begin to see options and alternatives.
What we think and say creates energy that manifests our reality. By connecting the conscious and subconscious minds, we can more easily effect and sustain changes.
Vision Boarding
Your brain works constantly to achieve the statements you give your subconscious mind.
Why not use positive statements, affirmation and images to help achieve your goals.
Creating a vision board is one of the most powerful visualization tools available to you. This fun, creative and empowering tool serves as your view of the future–a physical representation of where you are going.
It represents your dreams, your goals, and your ideal life.
If you are ready to define your dreams, it’s time to illustrate them visually.
Life Coaching
Coaching, by definition has been used in language to describe the process used to transport people from where they are to where they want to be.
Coaching uses a range of communication skills (such as targeted restatements, listening, questioning, clarifying etc.) to help clients shift their perspectives and thereby discover different approaches to achieve their goals.
Coaching can help support positive changes in areas ranging from:

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often referred to as ART, is a form of psychotherapy shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions) than traditional therapy.
ART uses rapid eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain, to minimize strong physical and emotional reactions. ART is federally recognized as an effective psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, stress, and personal resilience. Learn more here.
