For the most part, yes—"only the willing."

Unless there's organic brain damage, most people can be hypnotized if they're willing. The depth of hypnosis varies with your willingness and ability to respond.

If you're not naturally responsive or feel resistant, you can improve your receptivity with practice. The key is being open to the process.

Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed state where you can access your subconscious mind more readily—and in transpersonal hypnosis, your Higher Self.

Think of your brain wave activity in four levels:

Beta– Wide awake (normal consciousness)

Alpha– Hypnosis/"the zone" (like watching TV or driving long distances)

Theta – Half asleep/half awake

Delta– Deep sleep or dream state

In all four states, your subconscious is 100% present. But in the more relaxed alpha or theta states, your conscious mind steps aside, allowing deep communication with the subconscious.

Here's why this matters: Your subconscious always rules, regardless of conscious thought or willpower. So when we shift negative subconscious messages—the beliefs, fears, habits, or patterns living beneath the surface—significant changes happen in your life.

Hypnosis has been used since ancient times for surgery anesthesia, dream interpretation, and much more. Today, the applications are extensive.

I specialize in transpersonal hypnotherapy—the most life-shifting approach because it engages Spirit and the Divine Realm, not just the mind.

Primary techniques include:

Cellular Release Therapy™

One of the most effective techniques available (and only a few practitioners are certified). We hold most experiences and memories at the cellular level, often outside conscious awareness. This technique releases blocks at the deepest level—where true transformation happens.

Uses:

- Release emotional charge from trauma or grief

- Clear blocks around prosperity, weight, relationships, performance

- Support physical healing

- Release fears and negative belief systems

- Clear habits and patterns

Regression Work

- Past life exploration

- Understanding soul connections

- Resolving "unfinished business" from this life or past lives

Spiritual Guidance

- Connecting with Angels and Guides

- Accessing your Inner Wisdom

- Spiritual Council guidance & healing

- Prayer & meditation techniques

Etheric Plane Communication (EPC)

Soul-level communication in a Higher Realm. Call forward another person 

to share thoughts and feelings—useful for resolving conflict, making 

apologies, or healing grief.

Spirit/Energy Releasement

Identify and clear energy attachments that aren't yours—which can cause confusion, fatigue, or health issues.

It varies for each person. Some clients have powerful shifts from just one session. Others prefer a series to thoroughly explore and heal all links to their issue(s).

The consultation session helps us assess:

1. If hypnotherapy is right for you
2. If my approach aligns with your needs
3. How many sessions might be beneficial

There are many forms of hypnotherapy. An educated decision based on 

consultation is always the best start.

It depends on your willingness and desire to truly change. Certain hypnotic modalities can have very permanent, positive results. 

Others may require reinforcement through:

- Post-hypnotic suggestions

- Self-hypnosis practice at home

- Conscious actions to support the changes

- Follow-up sessions if needed

I teach self-hypnosis tools so you can reinforce effects at home and address anything that comes up over time. When you take conscious action to support the subconscious shifts, the changes truly "root."

No! This is the biggest myth about hypnosis.You're always in control. Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state—like meditation or being "in the zone." You'll hear everything, remember everything, and can emerge anytime you want.

You cannot be made to do anything against your will or values. Your subconscious is always protecting you.

Most clients describe it as:

- Deeply relaxed but fully aware

- Like a guided meditation

- Peaceful and calm

- Time seems to move differently

- A feeling of floating or heaviness

- Similar to that moment before falling asleep

Everyone experiences it slightly differently, and that's perfectly normal.
