Integrative Hypnosis for Healing
Accessing the Body’s Innate Wisdom Through the Mind
Clinical hypnosis is a gentle, focused state of awareness that helps you quiet mental noise and access the body’s natural capacity for healing. In this relaxed and receptive state, the subconscious mind becomes more open to positive change, emotional release, and new patterns of thought and behavior.
Unlike stage hypnosis, clinical and therapeutic hypnosis is grounded in neuroscience and psychology. It’s used to help clients manage stress, pain, fatigue, anxiety, and trauma by engaging the same brain networks that regulate emotion, perception, and immune response.
How Hypnosis Works
When the brain is relaxed but alert, it enters a natural “healing rhythm.” Brainwave activity slows, breathing deepens, and the nervous system shifts from the fight-or-flight response into a calm, restorative state.
From this place of balance, it becomes easier to work with the subconscious patterns that drive emotional reactions, physical tension, or unwanted habits.
Hypnosis helps you access the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s recovery mode—reducing inflammation, easing muscle tension, and improving sleep, focus, and overall mood.
In many ways, it’s a form of guided mindfulness—one that allows the mind and body to cooperate instead of compete.
Applications in Mind–Body Counseling
Hypnosis can be a powerful companion to therapy for individuals living with:
• Chronic illness, fatigue, or autoimmune challenges
• Pain syndromes or stress-related physical symptoms
• Anxiety, grief, trauma, or emotional eating
• Difficulty sleeping, relaxing, or quieting inner dialogue
Each session is personalized. We may use imagery, relaxation, or symbolic metaphors to help you reframe stress, strengthen resilience, and create new internal associations of safety and healing.
This process can help clients reclaim a sense of control, confidence, and peace—even in the presence of ongoing medical conditions.
As a Fellow of the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists (F-NBCCH) and a Registered Nurse, I have extensive experience using hypnosis within a clinical and integrative framework. My style is gentle, trauma-informed, and deeply collaborative—you are always fully aware and in control.
I also draw upon Ericksonian, medical, and mindfulness-based hypnosis, combining these with counseling, neurobiological education, and somatic grounding to support the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
Hypnosis helps clients reconnect with their innate wisdom—the quiet intelligence of the body that knows how to restore balance when given permission to do so.
In this space, healing is not something forced or prescribed; it is invited. As you learn to engage this deeper level of awareness, transformation unfolds naturally: stress lessens, confidence grows, and the body begins to follow the mind’s lead.
