Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions I hear most often.

General Hypnotherapy

Foundational questions about the state of hypnosis.

Is hypnotherapy real?


Absolutely. Hypnotherapy is backed by extensive research and recognized by major medical organizations. It is a natural state of focused attention that allows us to access your subconscious mind where deep change happens.

Will I lose control or get stuck?


No. You are always in control. Hypnosis is not sleep. You will be aware throughout. You can emerge anytime you want. Think of it as a deeply relaxed state of focused attention.

What if I am not hypnotizable?


Most people are. Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience - like driving to a destination and not remembering the drive, or getting lost in a movie. Focus is all that's required.

What if I am skeptical?


That is totally fine. I was skeptical myself. Many of my best clients came in as skeptics. The work speaks for itself, and your connection call is the perfect place to ask more.

How do I know if I'm in hypnosis?


You're aware throughout. Some feel relaxed, others focused and present. There is no "right" way to feel; the changes happen at a deeper level than your conscious feelings.

What if nothing happens at first?

Shifts aren't always dramatic in the moment. Your mind continues processing after the session. Changes unfold at different times for different people.

The Experience

Logistics, timing, and what to expect during our work together.

What happens in a session?

We begin with a conversation about your goals and intentions, followed by hypnosis. We finish by discussing what what to expect in the days ahead.

How long is each session?

The first session is 1.5 - 2 hours long. Subsequent sessions are 45-60 minutes long.

Do you work virtually?

Yes. Sessions are equally effective online. You just need a quiet, comfortable space where you will not be interrupted.

Can we work together longer?

Many clients choose to continue. We can discuss ongoing support with single sessions or custom packages after your initial program.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients see breakthroughs in 3-6 sessions. Some issues resolve faster, others benefit from additional work. We assess your progress as we go.

Is hypnotherapy the same as therapy?

No. Therapy typically uses the conscious mind to process the "why." Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious to rewire the "how," moving you beyond baseline functioning into active transformation. Please note: I am not a replacement for a licensed therapist.

How is it customized?

While we follow a general framework, we focus specifically on your goals. I listen deeply and tailor each session to your unique subconscious language.

Do you work with insurance?

I do not work directly with insurance providers. This allows us to focus entirely on your results without the constraints of medical coding or session limits. I can provide receipts if you wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement.

IEMT Specifics

Integral Eye Movement Technique and how it works.

IEMT vs. EMDR?

IEMT is rooted in identity and emotional imprinting. EMDR focuses primarily on trauma processing. Both use eye movements but follow different protocols.

Must I talk in detail?

No. IEMT addresses root causes without requiring you to relive traumatic events or talk through every detail. It is "content-free" work.

Is IEMT available virtually?

Yes. Eye movement work translates effectively to online video calls as long as you have a quiet space.

Hypnotherapy vs. IEMT?

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation to reprogram. IEMT uses eye movements to process emotions. I integrate them based on what you need.

Can IEMT be combined with hypnotherapy?

Yes. They work beautifully together. I often integrate them based on what will serve you best.

Who is IEMT NOT for?

IEMT is not for individuals currently experiencing active psychosis, certain types of epilepsy, or those looking for a medical 'cure' for a diagnosed clinical condition. It is a generative technique for those ready to update their emotional and identity responses.
