My Story….

As a successful corporate executive with over 20 years in sales and management, I understand stress from the inside out. I have faced my own stresses and I have consulted with hundreds of others about their stress. What I know to be true is that stress does not go away without a bit of help. I am a seasoned hypnotherapy professional with years of experience working with hundreds of clients. I sought natural, healthy solutions to the problems we face and chose hypnotherapy because it is endorsed by the American Medical Association. It is completely natural, safe and effective. I don’t like masking symptoms with a myriad of drugs; do you? Our minds and bodies have natural healing abilities that have been well documented.

Personally, I have dealt with workplace and career challenges just as you have, including: meeting goals; interpersonal relationships; management changes; buyouts, strikes, downsizing and promotions; financial pressures and more. As a former international flight attendant, I am uniquely qualified to help you with FEAR OF FLYING. I have many satisfied clients and testimonials from people who are now joyfully traveling all over the world!

Life is always full of challenges. The only difference is in our attitude, how we handle those challenges and how quickly we “bounce back” from adversity. I choose to work from the perspective of positive thinking and personal empowerment. As a single parent, I raised twins (who are healthy, happy and successful). I have dealt close-hand with death experiences. I work to postpone the onset of diabetes, have overcome chronic migraines, acid reflux and physical injuries. If I can do it, so can you. Let me show you how.

I believe you have all the resources you need inside you! You are not broken and I cannot “fix” you. You may be in pain – mental, emotional or physical – and I can help relieve or lessen your pain. You may feel stuck and I can show you how to get unstuck. You may feel listless, lethargic, blue, dissatisfied or confused; I can help clear your thinking so that you make good decisions. I teach you how to heal yourself from the inside out in a way that is more rapid, effective and long-lasting than most of the other methods you have tried. I help you experience profound relaxation and calm that is in itself healing. I help you get in touch with your inner wisdom, truth and natural healing abilities.

Imagine yourself weeks, months or years from now feeling positive, powerful and joyful – what is that worth to you? For me, it was worth leaving a six-figure career to do meaningful work that creates incredible changes in others. When you are successful, I am fulfilled. After having parented my twin daughters into happy, healthy adulthood, this is the most important work I can do.

Call me to find out if you are a good candidate for this type of alternative healing. Consultations are complementary so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Maybe we can work together; if not, I’ll be happy to refer you to someone else. Be sure to ask about my UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE.

My clients work from the present forward. They learn new ways to cope and to calm. As their thinking becomes clearer, amazing things happen. It becomes easier to let go of past hurts and habits. They gain new motivation and energy. Fearful behaviors weaken or disappear. Physical pain is lessened or vanquished. When they feel better, relationships improve…at work and at home.

Inside your subconscious mind is incredible power. It can make your life hell or it can make you believe in bliss. You can get what you want; I can show you how.

California Disclosure

California Law allows residents access to complementary and alternative health care practitioners who are not providing services that require medical training and credentials. The following disclosure is provided in compliance with Section 2053.6 of the California Business and Professional Code 2908.

Hypnotherapy is an alternative or complementary treatment for vocational and avocational self-improvement. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine nor should they be considered as a substitute for licensed or psychological services or procedures. A hypnotherapist is neither a licensed physician nor psychologist; hypnotherapy services are not currently licensed by the state of California. Medical or psychological referrals may be required for the treatment of some conditions. Parental consent by both parents will be required for the therapy of any minor under the age of 18 years old. Information revealed in hypnotherapy is considered confidential; however, it is not subject to the psychologist-patient privilege. A court may order disclosure of information learned in hypnosis therapy.

Hypnosis works with the power of the subconscious mind to change habits and behaviors. Hypnosis may be a powerful tool for accessing the subconscious source of many attitudes, behaviors and emotions in order to create improvement. Deep relaxation is common and the ability to visualize or imagine may be enhanced. Hypnosis is often described as a state of escape from physical and emotional stress while remaining completely aware and in control. Because the subconscious mind does not recognize the difference between fantasy and reality, statements made by the client in hypnosis are not admissible as evidence in courts of law.
