WELCOME
Most of us know or have heard that we only use a small percentage of our minds on a daily basis. Scientists and psychologists agree that we each have a large reservoir of untapped mental resources in our unconscious minds. Most people never discover these resources or learn how to apply them in their lives.
Through the use of hypnosis, NLP and other complementary methods and techniques, I help people discover and unlock their unconscious minds so that they can use these resources to resolve problems that are often difficult to resolve through conscious actions. I also teach people how to use these newly accessed resources to improve skills and enhance their performance in daily activities, athletics and business.
Please feel free to explore this site to discover what is possible using the power of your unconscious mind.

– Émile Coué, French psychologist & pharmacist who introduced “Conscious Autosuggestion”
“We possess within us a force of incalculable power, which if we direct it in a conscious and wise manner, gives us the mastery of ourselves and allows us not only to escape from physical and mental ills, but also to live in relative happiness.”
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in ideas or behavior.The unconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body and mind, including habits and things that we do automatically - it is fueled by our emotions and imagination and directs the energy from within.
The unconscious mind also contains memories of every single thing that has occurred to us.In hypnosis, the mind is very receptive to new ideas and much more open to suggestions which encourage more sensible, balanced or helpful attitudes to reality.
This approach to change does not involve weeks or months of talking about the past. Instead, we work to quickly establish what you want to change and then we use hypnosis together to help you make those changes.
For some issues, regression techniques can be used. This may mean re-examining (without necessarily re-experiencing) events which influenced us at an earlier time in life. By bringing these memories to the surface the unconscious mind is able to discharge any negative effects and reposition our conscious mind for success.
The number of sessions required varies from person to person, however most people feel some benefit from hypnosis immediately. While hypnosis is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment, it can be a very useful supplement to such treatment.
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star.
Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
How little do we know that which we are.
How less what we may be.”
– Lord Byron

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q. Can anyone be hypnotized?
A. Almost everyone can be, providing they are able to understand the things they have to do in order to achieve this state and are able to follow instructions.
Q. Can I be made to do anything against my will while I am hypnotized?
A. No. Clinical hypnosis is not the same as stage hypnosis, you are free to accept or reject any suggestions made. You are in control 100% of the time. Nobody can be hypnotized against their will and the hypnotist is simply guiding you into a trance to help you make the changes you want to make at an unconscious level.
Q. Will I reveal my most closely kept secrets while I am in trance?
A. No. Hypnosis is not some sort of truth serum. You are in control the entire time that you are hypnotized and you have the ability to choose what information you want to share or don't want to share even while hypnotized.
Q. When I am hypnotized am I unconscious or asleep?
A. No. Hypnosis or trance is a state that is somewhere between the waking state and sleep. You will feel deeply relaxed but you will be able to hear what the Hypnotist is saying and will be able to remember what happened after the session.
Q. Can I get stuck in a trance?
A. No. Nobody has ever remained in trance indefinitely (although some people might like to, because it feels good!). If something happened to the hypnotist while you were in trance you would simply come out of the trance naturally as the rapport would be lost with the hypnotist.
Q. What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
A. While it is different for each person, most people find it very enjoyable and relaxing. Trance is a natural part of everyday life and we all experience trance from time to time. Its often experienced as something similar to being so absorbed in a movie or TV show that our conscious mind takes a break and we become engrossed and emotionally involved in the movie even though the events are not real. Another example of everyday trance is when you daydream while driving and your unconscious mind handles the driving automatically while your conscious mind makes plans.
