First, the Consultation
The first step is to book a consultation; the consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and decide if we want to work together. The consultation and all of my sessions are on Zoom.
Before you invest your faith and money in and me and before I invest my time and energy into you, we need to know that we are on the same page. It is important for you to believe that you can trust me and I want to make sure I work with clients on goals that I believe we can achieve. We will have a conversation, we will explore who you are, what is going on for you, what you would like instead, what might be “in the way”, how you think, and if/how I can help you get what you want.
You can ask me questions about myself, about hypnosis, about what is going on for you, about the process, whatever it is you want to know. I will share my understanding about how our minds work and what can get us stuck, I will also share my plan for what we might be doing in our sessions and how it can help.
The consultation is usually about an hour but can sometimes extend longer than that if there is lots to uncover. The fee is $45 USD, and if you decide to book with me, that amount will serve as a deposit toward the cost of the sessions.
Our Sessions
“What is Hypnosis and how do you do it?”
Hypnosis is a natural and highly focused state of concentration, we actually go into “hypnosis” all the time, it’s just a certain state of mind. We automatically go into it when we are daydreaming, when we are on automatic pilot or in the “flow state,” or when we are lost in conversation or a good book. We are just getting you into that ‘state of mind’ on purpose and for a purpose…
How I “get you into hypnosis” is a lot like how someone might take you into relaxation in a guided meditation; I tend to slow my voice down, speak more gently, I help people centre into the moment and experience… and guide their focus from the whole world around them and into themselves, my voice and our session… I may talk you through relaxing your body, or I may do a countdown or a visualization…
In our sessions, we will use hypnosis and conversations to get you to your goals. These sessions are usually 60-90 minutes long.
When you are in hypnosis we will do different things that use both logic and our interesting and creative mind, our imagination to help you get to your goal. I might convey messages that you know logically to your subconscious, we might visualizations (don’t worry, you don’t need to actually SEE in hypnosis, visualization is a bit of a misnomer that way, you could just “pretend, think about or imagine”), we may ask questions of your deeper mind or ask it to explain something to us.
Not every session will include hypnosis, sometimes it will be necessary to check in and discuss progress and the goal. When we start working together things will start shifting in you and in your life and it is helpful for us to explore what is going on on a conscious level before we continue work in hypnosis.
I offer a three-session package for clients and if in the consultation we decide to work together, the cost of the consult ($45) will go towards paying for the first package, so the difference is $362 USD (totalling $407 USD). After those initial sessions, clients can rebook 3 sessions at a time.
