Q: How does the process work?

A. Depending on which package you sign up for and what you want to work on, I will send you one or more questionnaires or well being assessments. It’s important that you are as honest with yourself as possible. We’ll set up a phone interview and depending on which plan you select, we’ll begin the sessions over the phone. You’ll also probably have homework and or additional assignments to further your progress in between sessions.

Q: What if I don't know if I which process is for me?

A:  No problem, that is why I am here.  You can email or call me with your questions, issues and preferences and can quickly match them up with the best one to meet your desired goals!

Q: What are the differences in the general processes? (Coaching, Visualization, Energy Management, Well Being and Life Enhancement Practices)

Coaching provides you with professional mentoring, guidance, questioning, giving you tools, exercises, motivation and clarity as needed. With some accountability, planning, vision, target goals and support.  One on One Coaching is proven to help one complete goals, expand themselves and achieve results they would not do on their own. Coaching is not therapy.

Hypnosis, Visualization, Imagery, Focused Relaxation Technique all work with the subconscious mind on those things hidden within you to effect positive conscious change. Each approach is relaxing, effective and enjoyable.

Personal Energy Management and "Shifting" is awareness of our own energy systems.. utilizing our own energy for facilitating mental and physical well being.  When we become aware of personal energy depletors and energy creators, and positively "shift" our energy it provides our mind and body with more "fuel"  allowing us to feel better and engage in our life in a much more vibrant way.  

Well Being & Life Enhancement practices - are independent practices that individually and collectively improve your mental and physical health and wellness.

Each of the above can be utilized as a stand alone process or combined with any or all for maximum personal, mental and physical sellf improvement and enhanced well-being. 

Q  I want to work on weight, which process is best for me?

Because weight issues take consistent time and effort and usually involve other issues that just eating habits, like emotional triggers, self confidence, old beliefs, Clients who see the most significant and sustainable results use the Signature Methodology of Coaching combined with Hypnosis or Visualization.

Q: Will my life be turned upside down?

A:  Not likely.  But, it could be!  If anything, you will likely finish each session feeling calmer, more relaxed and in control. Several of the core issues most of us face are on a subconscious level. That’s why hypnosis can be so more effective where other processes are not. By using this wonderful methodology,you are able to get to the root cause and remove it swiftly, effectively and without much drama or pain. 

Q: What happens when I am hypnotized; how will I feel?

A: Feel Wonderful.  You are in a normal, natural state of consciousness that you are normally in many times every day. Most every session involves being in a relaxed state of mind. So always expect to be relaxed, present and focused. The focus is always on you! All my clients LOVE the feeling of being so deeply relaxed and peaceful.  Kinda like a day dream. 

 Q: Does visualization-self-hypnosis always provide results?

A: YES! Visualization and self-hypnosis are always successful! And they do so very easily, safely, and effectively.  In fact, you are already experiencing the affects of it in your daily life.  We all are "hypnotized"  or "guided visually" to think, believe, suggest or have thoughts influenced by outside sources.  Usually this is not readily known by your conscious mind.  The majority of my clients who see me to be "hypnotized" are really going to be "de-hypnotized"!  That is to actually remove, eliminate or shift a thought pattern or suggestion that is not working for them into ones that are supportive and reflect their conscious choices.    My clients are happy with this process and are pleased to know it is safe, normal, natural and that they can learn and with practice and guidance, successfully use this process with intent to create more of what they do want in their life!  All clients happily receive many more benefits from these sessions than expected or even thought possible!  All receive, new and unnoticed benefits from our sessions and recordings many, many months, even years, after their session or program.  The benefits are for life....yours! The mind...YOUR MIND... is truly amazing!

Q: I’m on a budget, can I still do the packages?

A: Yes, we have several payment plans and options offered in hopes of offering affordability to all who need or want to feel better now!  For the monthly programs requiring three or six month commitments, you only pay one month up front at a time instead of the full program price.   Many clients are on the $99 a month Wellness Option program and have seen dramatic and welcomed relief and results.  While budgets may have decreased for some these days, the monthly gift to yourself of $99 is a wonderful investment in your well-being and future. I have several clients who claim what they invested in them self for 3m 6 months or more has exceeded their expectation.  It is very possible and probable to transform your life when core issues and blockages are shifted, eliminated, elevated to something better or just gently removed.  

Q: How many sessions does it take to get results using just hypnosis?

A: Varies, depending on the issue, but most clients typically see major shifts within 3 to 6 sessions for general issues.  True Whole Life Transformations like Weight require time and commitment.  There are packages and prices with discounts for longer commitments to encourage do-ability, affordability and results for life long sustainability.    Remember, it took a while to get where you are at now.  If you are working on issues and desire more powerful results, coaching combined with either hypnosis or visualization, my Signature Living out Loud Coaching Program, is the way to go.  This allows for major life shifts.  Ask my Clients!

Q: Do I have to be hypnotized?

A: No, I work with several different approaches and modalities and can customize the plan to your comfort level. Although hypnosis is proven very effective, there are also many other wonderful personal energy systems and tools I use such as: including Visualization, Imagery, Meditation, Subtle Energy.

A: Sometimes, many issues are actually closely related to one another. It’s not uncommon for someone to heal one habit or pattern and then find their relationships improve or their sleep, etc! Or someone wishes to work on their pain management and finds they are less angry or fearful.  Issues are like layers of an onion, when one is removed, you find another.  The inner work continues, which allows you to feel better as you rid yourself of negative patterns and replace them with uplifting, inspiring and desire thoughts and actions!
