Hypnosis works with the power of the subconscious mind to change habits and behaviors. The subconscious mind is considered to be the source or root of many of our behaviors, emotions, attitudes, and motivations. Hypnosis is believed to be a powerful tool for accessing the subconscious mind and creating improvements in our lives.

Services consist of a program of conditioning, including an undetermined number of private sessions, depending on the client’s individual needs. To the best of my ability, I will endeavor to accomplish the objectives of the client’s sessions. While hypnosis may be an effective technique for many purposes, the effectiveness may vary from individual to individual, and no specific results or progress can be promised or guaranteed.

The feelings and experiences one has in the hypnotic state can vary from individual to individual.  Many people remain completely aware of everything happening while in hypnosis. Some individuals experience hyper-awareness where sensations are perceived enriched and vivid. The ability to visualize or imagine is often enhanced.  A feeling of deep relaxation is familiar and some people describe the hypnotic state as an escape from physical tension and emotional stress while remaining completely alert.

In recognition that millions of Californians receive a substantial volume of healthcare services from complementary and alternative healthcare practitioners, California Law allows access by California residents to complementary and alternative healthcare practitioners who are not providing services that require medical training and credentials. The following disclosure is provided in compliance with Section 2053.6 of the California Business and Professions Code.

The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy is for vocational and avocational self-improvement (Business and Professions Code 2908) and as an alternative or complementary treatment to healing arts services licensed by the state. A hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or psychologist and hypnotherapy services are not licensed by the State of California. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine, nor should they be considered as a substitute for licensed medical or psychological services or procedures.

You have taken a very positive step by deciding to seek hypnotherapy. The therapeutic relationship is unique in that it is highly personal and your desired outcome depends largely on your willingness to engage in this process and I promise to do my very best to help you achieve your goal(s).
