Hypnotherapy

Polyvagal-Informed Hypnotherapy 

​

Clinical hypnotherapy is a science-backed, evidence-informed mind–body approach that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and supportive suggestion to help you shift patterns at the level where stress and habits often live—your nervous system and subconscious mind. Many people describe it as entering a calm, steady state—like dropping beneath the surface of choppy water into quiet stillness—where change feels more accessible and less forced.

​

In my practice, hypnotherapy is polyvagal-informed, which means we work with your body’s built-in safety system. Instead of “pushing through,” we use gentle, paced techniques that help your system recognize cues of safety, widen your window of tolerance, and build more consistent resilience over time.

 

Sessions may support goals like reducing stress reactivity, improving sleep, calming digestive tension patterns, easing the intensity of pain experiences, shifting habits (including smoking cessation), and moving through mindset blocks that keep you stuck.

​

Each session is personalized and collaborative. We’ll use tools like titration (small, manageable steps), somatic grounding, and “glimmers” (micro-moments of safety) so your progress feels steady, embodied, and sustainable—not overwhelming.

​

How sessions are offered:

​

  • Hypnotherapy coaching is available in-person in Georgia and online from the comfort of your home.

  • Acupuncture + hypnotherapy is currently offered in-clinic only.

​

Note: Hypnotherapy coaching is educational and supportive in nature and is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. If you have a diagnosed condition or are in crisis, I’m happy to coordinate care with your licensed provider.

Unlock your mind’s incredible potential and embrace lasting transformation. Take the first step toward healing, growth, and a brighter, healthier future—your journey starts now!

 Hypnotherapy Explained

1

What hypntotherapy treats

Hypnotherapy for Chronic Pain

Hypnotherapy helps reduce the intensity of chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, and more, by changing how your brain perceives pain and enhancing your ability to cope.

Hypnotherapy for Digestive Disorders (Including IBS)

By calming your nervous system and promoting relaxation, hypnotherapy can alleviate symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other digestive issues linked to stress and anxiety.

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety and Stress Management

Through deep relaxation and subconscious reprogramming, hypnotherapy reduces anxiety symptoms, helps regulate stress responses, and promotes emotional balance.

Hypnotherapy for Smoking Cessation

Hypnotherapy supports you in overcoming nicotine addiction by reinforcing your motivation and rewiring habits at the subconscious level, increasing your chances for lasting success.

Hypnotherapy for Mindset Blocks and Behavioral Changes

Whether it’s overcoming fears, building confidence, or making lifestyle changes like weight management, hypnotherapy works by addressing limiting beliefs and encouraging positive transformation.

Hypnotherapy for Sleep Disorders

Hypnotherapy promotes restful sleep by reducing anxiety and calming the mind, making it an effective tool for insomnia and other sleep-related difficulties.

And so much more!

What hypnotherapy is not

Understanding what clinical hypnotherapy is—and isn’t—is important to make sure it’s the right fit for you:

​

  • It is not mind control or hypnosis like you see in entertainment. You stay fully aware and in control during your session.

​

  • It is not a quick fix or magic cure. Real change takes commitment and openness throughout the therapeutic process.

​

  • It does not replace medical or mental health care. Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy designed to work alongside your existing treatments.

​

  • It is not a passive experience. You actively participate in your healing journey.
