Hypnosis can help where other methods fail. Maybe you want to lose weight. Stop smoking. Overcome stage fright or test anxiety. Or perhaps you've been trying unsuccessfully to cut back on your drinking, stop biting your nails, or stop procrastinating. In all likelihood, you've tried for many years to do this, only to succeed for awhile, and then lapse back into your old habits.

If you've been trying to change your habits using willpower and determination alone, you've been doing things the hard way.

Hypnosis is the easy way to stop smoking, lose weight, overcome stage fright or test anxiety. You can use hypnosis to stop worrying, reduce stress, sleep better, get off sweets and junk food, start exercising, start living, and stop procrastinating.

Hypnosis can often help when other methods fail. Why is this? How can it be that we can struggle for years with an issue, only to experience relatively rapid results with hypnosis?

Hypnosis is the only tool which reaches directly into the subconscious mind.

Unlike other methods, hypnosis allows us to bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and talk directly to the subconscious mind, where many of our self-limiting beliefs and thoughts are stored. Under trance, we can effectively weaken or eliminate negative, self-limiting beliefs and insert more positive, healing, beneficial suggestions.

Once your subconscious beliefs are in agreement with your conscious desires, it's much easier to achieve your goals. There is no conflict between your conscious desires and subconscious beliefs. For example, how can you lose weight if you believe, at a deep level, that you need that weight for protection? Or that if you lose weight, you'll lose your identity as a heavy person? How can you quit smoking if you believe that you won't fit in with your friends anymore, or won't know how to relax? Hypnosis can help to erase beliefs like these that can sabotage us for years. Once these beliefs are gone, suddenly it's easy to lose weight or stop smoking.

The new behavior seems automatic, second-nature. You may wonder why and how this issue was ever a problem. You will discover that you're naturally eating less, are calmer and more relaxed while giving presentations, exercising more, and just don't smoke anymore. In addition to what you come in for, you may also get some side benefits or "happy surprises" with hypnosis.

The wonderful side effects of hypnosis.

In my seven years of practice, I hear clients over and over again tell me that they are sleeping better, often more soundly and peacefully than they have in years. They attribute much of it to the CDs of their session (it seems the CDs really do put them to sleep), but I believe they are also sleeping better because of the strong suggestions for overall relaxation and well-being, and self-esteem.

In fact, sleeping better is the number one side effect my clients report.

They report this regardless of whether we work on smoking cessation, weight loss, test anxiety, irrational fears, drinking, or letting go of a lost love.

Other side benefits clients report:

• Spontaneous pain relief 
• A more positive, relaxed attitude
• Getting along better with co-workers, spouse, children
• Memory and concentration improved
• Road rage disappears
• Increased patience, tolerance
• Less worry and negativity
• More energy
