    What is Hypnotherapy?

    Hypnotherapy is a natural, safe, and comfortable method of using a         
    person’s  subconscious mind  and creative intelligence to achieve a goal,
    or to resolve issues.

    Through the use of hypnosis, a Hypnotherapist assists the client to         
    change negative thinking into positive action.

    Pain management, weight loss, smoking cessation, relaxation and stress
    management, insomnia, and improved concentration are some of the
    issues which can be managed successfully by hypnotherapy.

    The client becomes the co-therapist and joins the Hypnotherapist in
    changing old patterns of beliefs or negative thoughts into new beliefs or
    actions that better serve the client.


    The truth about hypnosis

    When in trance your conscious mind remains engaged while the
    subconscious mind is accessed. At any time, you can bring yourself out    
    of hypnosis if you have a strong desire to do so.

    In hypnosis, you cannot be made to do or say anything you do not wish to
    do or say.

    You cannot be made to act against your will or moral code. For this
    reason, change can take place in hypnosis only if you are committed to
    making that change.

    If you enjoy the hypnotic state of complete relaxation so much that you
    want to remain in that state for a while and resist being counted out of
    trance, you will simply fall asleep to awaken a short time later feeling
    wonderfully relaxed.

    While in trance, you hear everything that is being said and are aware of
    everything happening around you.

    Anyone who has a strong desire to be hypnotized can be hypnotized.

    Hypnotic trance is a deeply relaxed, natural state of focused concentration.


    The benefits of Hypnotherapy

    There are many documented cases of the benefits of hypnotic suggestion.
    People have lost weight and effectively maintained the loss, stopped
    smoking, healed more quickly, controlled pain, overcome insomnia, and
    become more creative, just to name some successes.

    The most effective benefits are achieved through the co-therapy
    relationship of the client with a well trained, properly certified
    Hypnotherapist. The Hypnotherapist is a facilitator for empowering the
    client to heal himself.

    Most clients describe being in the hypnotic trance state as allowing them  
    to experience the most satisfying relaxation they have ever achieved
