So far I’ve only done hypnosis for childbirth, but look forward to expanding
in to other areas.

Absolutely. Stress/Anxiety/Pain management, Weight Release, Peaceful Sleep.
I also hypnotize my kids if they are stressed or can’t get to sleep.
5. Describe your hypnosis office or work setting.
I teach classes in a room with several couches on which my student relax.
There are windows so it never gets very dark, but I do turn off the lights.
6. Describe a typical day in your life.
I spend the mornings and evenings dealing with routine things with my two
kids and husband, and spend most of the afternoon with my 3 year old. After
everyone is in bed I watch TV, then do a hypnosis session before going to
sleep.
7. Where did you get your training in hypnosis and are you certified?
I took a home study course from Gerald Kein. I am not yet certified.
8. Most fabulous hypnosis technique you use?
Directed anesthesia, and nausea release. For simple stress situations when
I just need to encourage deeper relaxation, I use progressive muscle
relaxation with a light moving down the body in waves from the top of the
head to the tip of the toes. For my children, it’s taking them on a virtual
walk through beautiful scenery. So, fabulousness depends on the situation
:o)
9. Worse moment ever in a hypnosis setting that ended up being a valuable
learning experience.
One of my students (the Dad) assumed he wouldn’t enter hypnosis, so his legs
were not in a fully supported position. They ended up falling off the
table. :o) So now I make sure everyone is fully supported, and not touching
anyone, even if they don’t “plan” to enter a hypnotic state.
10. Any words of advice to potential clients or other hypnotist.
The more you practice, the easier it gets to tailor the experience to meet
your needs.
