A Journey Within- Hypnotherapy Pop-Up Event

A Journey Within- Hypnotherapy Pop-Up Event

Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet effective modality for rewiring your subconscious beliefs to align with your current goals and desires. The healing process invites you to relax the physical body and enter into the theta brainwave state. Theta is one of five natural brainwaves states we oscillate between throughout the day. In this state, you enter into a light trance that bypasses the conscious mind and allows you to receive insight into the essence of who you are—the beliefs that have been running below the surface, the emotions left unprocessed, and the fullness of your potential that has been there all along. 

When you arrive for your session, we’ll begin by discussing your ideal outcome—what brought you here and what you’re ready to change. Once we’ve agreed on the direction of the session, I’ll guide you into a deeply relaxed state, where you’ll be able to access deep, healing insights from your subconscious. The beauty of hypnotherapy is that you are in control of your experience. You determine what happens and I help you get there. This means that you will be responding to my questions throughout the session, so that I can help you navigate the experience that is the most beneficial for you that day.

You’ll walk away feeling a powerful shift and a deep sense of clarity and excitement about everything that is to come. The experience is 50 Minutes.
