Surviving to Thriving...Hypnosis can help deal with feelings of abandonment, anger, sadness, despair & hopelessness by addressing the issues on the subconscious level. Hypnosis proves to be extremely effective in going to heart of the matter. Your subconscious controls over 90% of your life. As your Hypnotist, I will guide you into a trance state where you can reprogram self limiting beliefs of not being loved, valued, worthy, deserving, capable or good enough. Hypnosis can take you from a place of total FEAR to a place of authentic self LOVE & acceptance. Most SELF healing takes place within 6 sessions.
