Our clinical hypnotherapy with integrated imagery service offers a unique approach to addressing a variety of emotional and behavioral habits or patterns.

This approach assists with stress management, habit alteration (such as smoking cessation and weight management), increasing motivation in various areas of life, and enhancing creative, artistic, and scholastic endeavors. In our sessions, we go beyond conventional therapy by utilizing beliefs that transcend the physical person, such as connections with ancestors or religious figures, to guide the healing process. By tapping into these deeper realms of consciousness, clients can access profound insights, release limiting beliefs, and experience transformative growth.

Our integrated hypnotherapy service offers a holistic approach to healing by combining yoga/ somatic therapy, motivational interviewing, and Integrated Imagery hypnosis. Integrative imagery is used to speak to the subconscious mind and may include archetypal imagery, metaphors that reflect spiritual themes, and inner symbols. Often these are experienced in our dream realm as the subconscious mind tries to communicate with us, but we will harness this language to facilitate healing processes such as inner child healing, soul retrieval, de-energizing a negative complex, and emotional healing. This comprehensive method aims to prepare the body and mind for deep release and transformation through sensory techniques, addressing emotional and somatic imprints at their core.
