What is hypnotherapy exactly?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, guided process that helps you access a deeply relaxed state of mind, often called a trance state, where your subconscious becomes more open to positive suggestions. It’s not about losing control; it’s about becoming more focused and receptive to change.
Will I be asleep or unconscious during hypnosis?
Nope! You’ll be awake the whole time. Hypnosis feels similar to a daydream or deep relaxation. You’ll be aware of everything that’s happening and fully in control of your thoughts and actions.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can be hypnotized if they’re open to it and feel comfortable with the process. It’s a natural state we all experience (like zoning out while driving or watching TV). My role is to guide you into that state safely and respectfully.
What issues can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, sleep issues, low confidence, fears and phobias, habits like smoking or nail biting, and more. It can also help with mindset shifts around wellness, eating, and motivation.
Will I lose control or be made to do something silly?
Not at all. That’s a myth often seen in stage hypnosis or movies. In a therapeutic setting, you’re always in control. You won’t do or say anything you wouldn’t normally feel comfortable with.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals. Some people see changes after just two or three sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll discuss what feels right for you after our first session.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes, when guided by a certified professional, hypnotherapy is safe and non-invasive. It’s a natural process that supports emotional and mental wellbeing.
What is naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health that focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It combines natural remedies like nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbal support, and gentle therapies to promote overall wellbeing and prevent illness, rather than just treating symptoms.
How is naturopathy different from conventional medicine?
While conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific conditions, naturopathy looks at the whole person—body, mind, and lifestyle. It’s not a replacement for medical care, but a complementary approach that works alongside it to support long-term health and balance.
