As a clinical hypnotherapist, I pride myself on being available to a client’s request for help. I have taken calls as late as midnight.  I answer on Saturdays and Sundays. I try to be helpful, but sometimes helpful does not work. Returning from a movie yesterday, I was relaxed. Noticing a voicemail, I called. The woman went into a tirade … Read More

I would post the article to her Facebook Events page where people would go to find out what others have to say on the topic. I was reminded of a 12-year-old girl who came to see me. She was very large and was … Read More

“The ideal is to live our dreams before it is too late.” It is important to take action toward your goals every day. No matter how big or small, take some action. Don’t wait.

A new client wanted to find out what she could expect from a hypnotherapy program. She was at a crossroads in her life. She wanted to make big changes. She had tried before but failed.
