I am a professionally trained and Hypnosis Practitioner in Portland, Oregon area and Los Angeles, California . I started on my road to a career in hypnosis in a very organic way. I first began to explore hypnosis for myself. My journey to becoming a hypnosis professional in 2009 has been a deeply personal one. I like many others started out skeptical about hypnosis. It was my experiences with hypnosis that allowed me to make major changes in the way that I view my life. I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), a condition in which overactive mast cells release chemicals too easily, causing recurring and sometimes severe symptoms across multiple body systems. I also have EDS, POTs and fibromyalgia, which often accompanies MCAS. Living with a chronic illness can be challenging, and managing it is an ongoing process. For me, hypnosis has been one of the most important tools in that process. It has helped me work with pain and inflammation, while also shifting my perspective, thoughts, and mindset in ways that have profoundly supported my well-being. I understand the challenges that come with living with a chronic illness, and I’m passionate about sharing the tools that have helped me with others. The first thing I noticed was that in periods of stress, I could achieve what one patient once described to me as a “mental spa day.” It’s really just the simple act of taking a mental break from whatever anxiety I was experiencing and allowing myself the space and calm to connect with my own strengths. As I practiced hypnosis the more effective it became for me. Soon I found I was able to use hypnosis techniques to help overcome some of my own more persistent life challenges. In my experience, hypnosis is the most powerful tool there is for resolving issues and moving past mental blocks in order to pursue what I wanted to do with myLife. When you find something that great, you want to share it. My approach to hypnosis is that of being your guide on a journey to “your self.”
My goal is to assist clients in uncovering their expectations and goals and help them break free from debilitating negative emotions in order to reconnect with their innate strengths and abilities. We will work together to identify the areas that need focus and design a plan for success. Through hypnosis, we can uncover underlying beliefs and behavioral patterns, helping you make positive, lasting changes.Some changes can take place after several visits and others can be accomplished in just one session. It all depends on the individual. These changes take place in a relaxing, supportive environment. Hypnosis bypasses the critical thinking of the conscious mind to reach the deeper levels of the subconscious mind. Hypnosis can help make profound and lasting changes. I know it did for me.
Change your thoughts, and you can change your life.
