Where is your office located?
Currently, all sessions are via Zoom.
How long are the sessions?
Individual sessions are 50 minutes.
Time varies for Quit Smoking and Weight Loss sessions.
Do you take insurance?
No. Hypnosis is considered self-improvement and not a mental health diagnosis.
How do I schedule an initial appointment?
You can call (704) 756-8036 to schedule your initial appointment or click on the “schedule appointment” button you will find on my website.
What is your cancellation policy?
Clients must provide a 24-hour cancellation notice. If you fail to notify me of your cancellation without giving a 24-hour notice, I will charge you for an entire session.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is an in-between state of being awake and asleep.
Is hypnosis a form of mind control?
Hypnotherapy is not mind-controlling. When you see a hypnotherapist, you are seeking help because there is something you want to change. If you are not open and willing to change, I cannot make you do anything you don’t want to do.
Is hypnotherapy like the movie "Get Out?"
No, hypnotherapy is not like the movie “Get Out.” The movie “Get Out” is make-believe. I cannot control you. You are in control the whole time and can come out of hypnosis at any time.
I tried hypnosis before, and it didn't work. Do you think you can hypnotize me?
Everyone can be hypnotized. It’s a matter of understanding how you receive information and if you are open to change. If you are resistant or have any doubt, you will not go into hypnosis.
Will you make me bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken?
I could, but why would you want that. The purpose of hypnotherapy is for self-improvement.
Can you hypnotize my husband and kids to do more housework?
Yes, I could do that, but this is something that they must want to do themselves.
With what age ranges do you work?
My client’s ages range from 30–50. Of course, the age may vary a little lower or higher.
Do you work with women? Men? Couples?
I work with both women and men in individual sessions. If a couple is seeking help for their relationship, I can only see one person. I will refer the other individual to see another qualified hypnotherapist.
What do you do in sessions with clients?
During a session, I will ask you questions to get to know you better. These questions allow me to understand better what is going on in your life, what you would like to change, and how you would see yourself as a changed person.
For each session, the client under hypnosis accesses their subconscious mind while receiving positive suggestions (using various hypnotic methods) that help move them closer to reaching their goals.
Do your clients receive assignments to work on between sessions?
Each individual and their situation is different. Therefore, some individuals may receive assignments between sessions, and some may not. Depending on the client’s situation, they may receive an assignment for one session and not for another.
What modalities do you use when working with your clients?
Some of the modalities used are Imagery, NLP, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and other Release techniques to help one let go of stressors and fears.
What is your professional training and expertise?
I studied hypnotherapy at an accredited hypnotherapy college, completing over 1000 hours of training. My expertise is in hypnotherapy for weight loss, quit smoking, skin problems, and relationship problems.
What else does a client need to know to make the most out of working with you?
Hypnotherapy is like a partnership. You must be ready and willing to change. When you receive assignments to work on between sessions, it is an important process that aids in the success rate of your hypnotherapy.
Can you help to increase my sex drive?
I can help you better understand your sexual behavior and how it affects your relationship.
Hypnotherapy can help you reduce and let go of any stress, anxiety, or fears that may cause a low sex drive.
Is hypnotherapy like voodoo?
No, hypnotherapy is not like voodoo.
Will I be aware of what is going on during hypnosis?
Yes, you are aware and still hear everything that is going on around you. Your senses heighten in the hypnotic state.
Can I be hypnotized via Zoom?
Yes, we are hypnotized almost every day by our electronic devices. Have you ever accessed social media intending to take a quick look at newsfeed and then realize that you have been viewing social media for an hour or more? If so, you’ve been hypnotized.
