About Our Business
Our business is hypnosis. We use hypnosis to help you build confidence, feel more
optimistic, improve sleep habits, and regain self control.
For many years, science has been trying to fully explain just how hypnosis actually
happens. We see what people do, how they change using hypnosis, but it isn't clear why
they do it. This puzzle is really a small part of a much bigger puzzle: how the human
mind works. It's unlikely that scientists will have a definitive explanation of the mind in
the foreseeable future, so it's a good bet that hypnosis will remain something of a
mystery as well.
We do, however, understand the general characteristics of hypnosis: it is a trance state
characterized by extreme relaxation and heightened imagination. It isn't really like
sleep, because you are alert the entire time. It is most often compared to
daydreaming...you are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you.
You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought.
Just as in a daydream, while in hypnosis, an imaginary world seems so real to you, in the
sense that it fully engages your emotions. You experience feelings, body sensation.
But the entire time, you are aware that it's only imaginary. You put your conscious mind
in the back seat so that you and your hypnotist can communicate directly with the
subconscious.
Your subconscious regulates all your bodily sensations as well as your emotional
feelings. When the access door is open, you and your hypnotist can give direction and
suggestions to the subconscious, and as long as those suggestions agree with your
desire to change, change will take place.
Hypnosis does work...using your subconscious, you can make changes easily...giving
you control over your life...your future.

The services I render are held out to the public as non-therapeutic hypnotism, defined
as the use of hypnosis to inculcate positive thinking and the capacity for self-hypnosis. I
do not represent my services as any form of health-care or psychology, medical,
behavioral or mental health care, and despite research to the contrary, by law I make no
health benefit claims for my services. I do not practice psychology, nor do I represent
my services as the practice of psychology.
Some issues may require the written referral of a licensed medical or mental health
practitioner.
