About Me
I know what it’s like to navigate an undesirable childhood, unwanted habits, and unhealthy relationships. I’ve struggled with self-worth, felt stuck in negative cycles, and wondered if real change was possible. But through a shift in mindset and the power of hypnotherapy, I reclaimed my inner strength, set firm boundaries, and ultimately built a life filled with confidence, security, and fulfillment.
These challenges shaped who I am today, deepening my understanding of resilience, self-worth, and personal growth. I experienced firsthand how subconscious patterns keep us trapped—and how hypnotherapy can break those cycles. It played a crucial role in my growth—not just in quitting smoking but in rewiring my mindset, healing from past relationships, and reinforcing my ability to take control of my life.
Because I’ve lived through these struggles and overcome them, I now help others do the same.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck—whether in unhealthy relationships, self-sabotaging behaviors, or negative thought patterns they can’t escape. They’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. I understand the frustration of wanting change but feeling powerless to make it happen.
My clients often struggle with:
- Feeling lost in their relationships, lacking confidence and self-worth.
- Repeating negative cycles and not knowing how to break free.
- Holding onto stress, trauma, or habits that no longer serve them.
- Facing major life transitions—such as pregnancy and childbirth—needing guidance and support.
I meet my clients where they are, helping them recognize their own strength and take the steps to regain control of their lives. My journey allows me to connect with them on a deep level, offering not just techniques but true understanding.

Why Hypnosis?
There are two key concepts that explain why hypnosis is such a powerful tool for creating life changes:
Homeostasis: This is the subconscious drive to "stay the same" and resist change. While we may consciously want to alter our feelings, reactions, or habits, at a deeper level, our subconscious defense mechanisms work to maintain the status quo and resist change. Talking, planning, and understanding our behavior are valuable, but they don’t address the subconscious tendency to sabotage our own success or efforts to change.
Neuroplasticity: On a personal, spiritual, and behavioral level, neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change throughout our lives. Our capacity to shift beliefs, emotional responses, and behavioral habits relies on the flexibility of the mind. In hypnotherapy, techniques like hypnosis, therapeutic imagery, NLP, and mindfulness are used to enhance this internal flexibility, helping to overcome homeostasis and release the subconscious resistance to change.
Think of a hypnotherapist as a life coach for your subconscious mind.
