Welcome to Hypnotherapy in Nelson and the Kootenays!

Hypnotherapy begins with the premise that people are more resourceful than they realize.

The goal of hypnotherapy is to uncover valuable abilities that are present but hidden, to focus on and amplify peoples' strengths. It is a process based on the belief that you possess the power for change and hold the solutions within. During a hypnotherapy session you are gently guided into a natural state of conscious awareness - one which can be used for self-help. In the therapeutic setting, hypnosis is usually accompanied by a pleasant state of physical relaxation - in itself beneficial. 

Does Hypnosis Work?

Yes. Hypnosis isn't something you either believe in or don't believe in. It's a scientific fact underpinned by a huge collection of evidence supporting its effectiveness. Hypnosis can help you to get rid of old habits and negative ways of thinking and behaving, and replace these with positive new habits, motivation, and self-confidence. It is a tool that can help you achieve just about any goal you set your mind to.

5 Top Reasons to Try Hypnotherapy

1. Hypnotherapy is fast and results-oriented. It is a short-term therapy and more budget-friendly than traditional "talk therapies".

2. Hypnotherapy is effective. A comparative survey of scientific literature by Alfred A. Barrios, Ph.D. found that psychoanalysis can be expected to have a 38% success rate after approximately 600 sessions, whereas hypnotherapy can be expected to have a 93% success rate after an average of SIX sessions. (Source: Barrios, Alfred A, "Hypnotherapy: A Reappraisal," Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice, 1970.)

3. Hypnotherapy is safe. During a session, you are awake and in control at all times. In fact, you cycle in and out of natural hypnotic states every day any time you daydream, reflect on an old memory, think about something you want to do in the future, or are absorbed in a hobby, book or sport. Hypnotherapy induces a pleasantly relaxed, focused state in which you are curious and attentive to your inner experience. It is entirely drug free.

4. Hypnotherapy is empowering. It provides you with tools to quiet the critical and judgmental voices of the conscious mind, as well as to learn self-hypnosis. It empowers you to discover answers from within.

5. Hypnotherapy provides lasting change on a deep, profound level. The subconscious represents 90-95% of our mind power. By accessing this deeper mind, you can release old fear-based patterns, creating the lasting change you desire.
