Hypnosis is science – its not magic.  It works by creating a burst of alpha brain waves that are the same as when you’re in REM sleep. That’s what allows you to access the subconscious mind and quieten the conscious mind.

RTT works for all ages from 5 and up.  However, clients under 18 are on a case by case basis. It’s important to note that no matter what your age is, my highest priority is to address your needs (i.e. the client’s needs) in any given session.  When it comes to children, these needs often differ from parental priorities.

There are three types of changes.

• Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away after the session or a few days after – immediate changes occur in your physiology, thoughts and behaviours.
• Unfolding:  You see gradual consistent shifts every day.  Well-being is increasing and the problem is disappearing over time.
• Retroactive:  A delayed reaction.  One day you suddenly notice the issue is no longer present.  It is not uncommon that others (family, friends, etc) notice the changes in you before you do.

The experience feels different for different people. Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not. Others may feel sleepy, some do not. Most people feel relaxed and at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like – it’s working.

It’s super easy. It’s an enjoyable and thoroughly relaxing experience.

Hypnosis (deep relaxation) is a safe way of accessing our unconscious memories and beliefs.  Our mind responds to words and images to create a belief and because the mind is more suggestible in deep relaxation, it is an effective method of inviting new empowering words and images to your mind to create the most phenomenal changes in you.

Essentially, your conscious mind is quiet and your subconscious mind is awake.  You are in full control the entire time and it’s completely safe.

Clinical hypnosis has been widely practiced and extensively researched. It is a highly successful form of therapy for treating a vast array of psychological, emotional and physical problems.

Not at all!   I can not make you do anything you do not want to. Your mind will not allow you to do anything that is against your values or ethics, or disclose anything that you do not want to talk about.  Clinical hypnotherapists use hypnosis only for therapeutic purposes, to help their clients achieve their goals.

Stage hypnotherapists are entertainers and select their participants carefully choosing volunteers that want to be on stage and are comfortable being silly for the entertainment of others.
