Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy is an effective, fast and empowering process of self-improvement. It rapidly engages the clients’ own inner resources and wisdom, significantly shortening the time spend in therapy, and greatly empowering clients not only in their own healing process but also in their ability to respond creatively to future life challenges and transitions. Weather to improve your self-esteem or your organizational skills, to recover from past trauma, or to establish a spiritual practice, the process will be individually designed to meet your needs.

Hypnosis is a natural and familiar state of mind similar to daydreaming or deep concentration. Everybody experiences hypnotic-like states. You may be driving on the freeway, fully absorbed in your thoughts, and suddenly you realize that you missed your exit. Or you are so absorbed in reading a book or listening to music that you don’t hear someone speak to you. The main difference between these trance-like experiences and therapeutic hypnosis is motivation and intention.

In therapy, through the use of hypnosis, you experience an altered state of consciousness that allows you to directly access your subconscious mind. Our emotions, our memories, our intuition all live in the subconscious mind. By speaking to the subconscious in language it can easily hear you change patterns you have outgrown – creating new healthy images out of the old. Think of hypnosis as the state of mind uniting the conscious with the subconscious mind, helping you change quickly.

In Hypnotherapy you use your preset intention to work toward your personal goals. Because you turn your attention inward when you go into trance – and because we are always working with your own goals and intentions – you are the one who is controlling the process. That is why we say that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. I use interactive techniques, which enable you to communicate with parts of yourself that may be blocked to regular awareness. This process allows you to remove subconscious blocks and to find guidance from within your deep self in facing your current challenges and struggles.

Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) means universal life energy in Japanese. The art of Reiki is a system of gentle vibrational healing that was established by Dr. Usui from Japan in the late 19th century and is becoming increasingly popular in the western world.

Reiki can greatly improve your health and well-being by working on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level at the same time. This healing modality treats the whole person, revitalizing your body’s own healing potential by restoring greater balance and allowing your life force to flow more freely. Reiki is practiced with gentle hands-on, or by simply working the energy above your body, while you are lying on the massage table wearing loose, comfortable clothing. As the energy flows through my hands to you, you may perceive a pulsing or tingling sensation, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or a sense of releasing previously-blocked emotions.

Reiki can be used to reduce physical and emotional pain, to calm the mind and experience deep relaxation on all levels. In my practice I use Reiki by itself or combine it with Hypnotherapy based on your personal choices and needs.

Reiki can help to:

  • alleviate anxiety & depression
  • reduce stress
  • relief allergies
  • promote restful sleep
  • break habits and addictions
  • reduce the need for pain medication in acute and chronic conditions
  • ease side effects of chemotherapy and similar medical interventions
  • recover from surgery and illness
  • speed up physical healing and recovery from trauma
  • unlock emotional blockages
  • improve immune and nervous system functioning
