• Treatment can also be performed for clients that are not physically near the therapist.

 

 

Hypnosis

Every person naturally enters into some state of hypnosis several times per day depending on what part of the brain they are using for a task.  Relaxation of the body and mind allows the client to gain easier access to those parts of our psyche that affect habits, memory and personality characteristics where the client would like to affect a change or release.
