Children are excellent candidates for hypnosis.  So much of their day is spent using
their powerful imaginations in play and learning situations.

Bedwetting

In hypnotherapy, a child is invited to imagine.....to imagine their body working properly,
and consistently.  They are encouraged by the fact that they are not alone and that
others, like them, have been helped in the same way.  They visualize sleeping
peacefully through the night and awakening, feeling refreshed, excited about their
day, and comfortably dry.

Trichotillomania (hair pulling)

Hair pulling can occur at any age but is more prevalent in young adolescent girls.  The
focus may be scalp hair, eyebrows or even eyelashes.  Frequently, a stressful event
can be associated with the onset.  The symptoms also may be triggered by pubertal
hormonal changes.

While there is no certain cause of trichotillomania, the current way of looking at it is as
a medical illness.  One theory on a biological level is that there is some disruption in
the system involving one of the chemical messengers between nerve cells in parts of
the brain.  There may also be combinations of factors such as genetic predisposition
along with an aggravating stress.  Further, trichotillomania could be a symptom caused
by different factors in different individuals, just as a cough can be produced by a
multitude of different medical problems.

Hypnotherapy has been proven very successful, with a minimal number of sessions, by
using post-hypnotic suggestions to completely eliminate the pulling impulse. Fast,
effective, and above all....safe.  Your child need no longer be ashamed or embarrassed.

Sports Enhancement for Children

Just one session can boost your child's athletic ability.  By envisioning success, the
body learns how to react to create the desired behavior.  Professionals use hypnosis
and meditation to create successful attitudes, why not you?  If you can dream it, you
can achieve it.


Children are generally intrigued about hypnosis and look forward to quickly changing
their unwanted behavior.  Unlike adults, children have no negative perceptions to
overcome and thus are easily guided into that deep state of relaxation and expectation
where changes occur quickly and permanently.

We work with children aged four (4) and over, engaging a variety of imaginary journeys
and activities as our tools.

The safety and comfort of our children is always a primary concern and parents are
free to be with their child or watch from another room.  The sessions are
understandably shorter, but are just as powerful.
