 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 What will happen in the session?

On your first visit you will learn about hypnosis and take the time to be comfortable with it. Your hypnotherapist will discuss your interests and requirements to  determine if hypnotism can accomplish what you want to achieve.

Each session includes training in Self Hypnosis so that you can continue the benefits in the comfort of your own home. The first session is 1 ½ hours,  subsequent sessions are 45-60 minutes.  

The total process is a gentle relaxed experience that leaves you feeling energized, refreshed and comfortable with your new goals.

 Will I remember everything that happens in the session?

Yes, if you want to.  Sometimes the conscious mind chooses to not remember, but that's your choice.

 Can anyone be hypnotized?

Only good ones! You'll feel relaxed. More in control. Sometimes clients find they remember their dreams more often.
