How Hypnotherapy Helps
You may already know what you “should” do to feel less stressed. The harder part is changing the automatic patterns that keep your mind and body in a constant state of alert.
Hypnotherapy uses a deeply focused, relaxed state to work with those automatic responses, helping you practice calmer patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I’m Laurie.
I’m a Certified Master Hypnotist with a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), the first nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy in the United States. I tailor each session to the person in front of me and what they want to change.
In my private practice, I help people navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, overthinking, sleep challenges, and major life changes. I also support inner child healing and help clients build confidence and self worth, so they can feel more grounded and more like themselves.
Through private Zoom sessions, I help clients explore the patterns keeping them stuck. Together, we practice new responses that support greater calm and clarity, one step at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
When you are in a hypnotic state, your conscious mind has been relaxed. This allows me to work directly with your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind holds all of our “programming”, much like a computer.
You can “know” in your conscious mind that you want to make a change and be determined to make that change, but if your”computer is programmed” to keep doing what you are doing it will be nearly impossible to make lasting change unless you change the programming. That’s precisely what hypnotherapy will accomplish. When you change the subconscious programming the behavior follows.
-
Hypnosis is a focused state of awareness where the body is fully relaxed, but the mind is awake. This state allows the hypnotherapist to access your subconscious mind where the positive change and transformation you desire for yourself can start to take place through the use of hypnotic suggestions.
Hypnosis is a completely natural state. In fact, we all go in and out of hypnosis throughout the day. Have you ever been driving and missed your exit on the freeway? Or, been deeply absorbed in a movie and forgot you are actually in a room full of strangers watching a projected image of actors on screen? Perhaps you’ve zoned out and daydreamed while someone was talking to you. All of these are all examples of being in a state of hypnosis.
-
When most people hear the word “hypnosis” they think of swinging watches and the hypnotists telling someone to bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken on command. While that kind of hypnosis does exist, it is for the sole purposes of entertainment that you would find on the stages of a Las Vegas show.
This is very different from clinical hypnotherapy. You are completely alert and in full control of your mind and body while in the hypnotic state. You can hear, speak, and even walk around. Your body is relaxed and comfortable. You will never be asked to disclose any secrets or do anything you do not want to do. I use hypnosis strictly as a healing tool.
-
No. You remain aware and in control throughout the entire session. Hypnosis is a focused, relaxed state where you can hear me, communicate, and choose what feels comfortable for you. My role is to guide you through the experience, not take control away from you.
-
Yes. Hypnotherapy can be done virtually, allowing you to experience your sessions from the privacy and comfort of your own space. We’ll connect one on one through Zoom, and I’ll guide you through the session just as I would if we were sitting together in the same room.
-
Hypnotherapy works best as a process rather than a one time experience. Six sessions give us time to understand your patterns, build on the progress from each session, and reinforce the changes you’re creating along the way. Each session is personalized to what’s coming up for you, so the work can evolve as you do.
The goal isn’t to keep you in hypnotherapy indefinitely. It’s to give us a focused amount of time to create meaningful change while also giving you tools and personalized recordings you can continue using long after our work together.
-
Hypnosis is a very comfortable, peaceful and pleasant feeling. Your body is extremely relaxed but your mind is aware. You will feel a sense of rejuvenation and feel refreshed after a hypnotherapy session.
-
No, you are able to come out of hypnosis any time you wish. You can no more get “stuck” in hypnosis than you can get “stuck” awake or “stuck” asleep. … For practical reasons, as hypnotherapists we do explicitly end our clients’ trances, but if we didn’t the clients would naturally either return to full alertness or fall asleep.
-
The first session is 70-90 minutes and consists of the following 4 main components:
In depth consultation to understand what specific challenges you are currently dealing with, what you feel the blocks are (if known), and what your desired outcome is from our hypnotherapy sessions together.
Detailed description of how hypnotherapy works in the human mind for your specific issue, and what you should expect to feel and experience while in hypnosis.
Suggestibility Testing – In order to best create the most significant and powerful changes in mental programming, it is of the utmost importance to understand how you personally take in suggestions and information. This testing allows us to know exactly what type of hypnotic suggestions can make the most impactful positive changes in your subconscious mind.
The last part of the first session is the hypnotherapy itself in which your subconscious programming will begin to change.
-
That’s completely okay. You don’t need to know how to meditate, clear your mind, or be “good” at hypnosis. In fact, many of the people I work with come to me because their minds rarely slow down. I’ll guide you through the process at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
-
You don’t have to figure that out on your own. That’s exactly what the complimentary consultation is for. We can talk through what you’re experiencing, answer your questions, and see whether working together feels like the right next step.
