1. Are you a full time hypnotist, part-time or hobbyist?
I am a full time Holistic Therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist
2. Do you specialize in any type of hypnosis?
“Regression to Cause” applied toward eliminating anxiety, fears and emotional turmoil.
3. Is there any type of hypnosis you do not do? Why?
My passion is to provide relief and healing to my clients, so I shy away from the entertainment aspect of Hypnosis.
4. Do you use self-hypnosis regularly in your life? If so, how?
My mornings are dedicated to creating a day of intention by using self-talk and self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is a powerful way to connect and participate in shaping my life.
5. Describe your hypnosis office or work setting.
My practice, Personal Healing, is located in Newton, Massachusetts. Beyond seeing clients each day I have the privilege to teach variety of courses and lead workshops in local Boston university’s such as Harvard Business School and Lesley College. Topics may vary from the Mind/Body Connection to stress management and of course Hypnosis.
6. Describe a typical day in your life.
There is nothing typical about my life and certainly about my work. Usually my day is spent in a two areas: preparing for and seeing my clients, and creating scripts and content for my products available at www.MindBody101.com. I enjoy both passionately.
7. Where did you get your training in hypnosis and are you certified?
I earned my certification from the National Guild of Hypnotists. The training was through a local certified instructor of the Guild.
8. Most fabulous hypnosis technique you use?
“Regression to Cause” is without a doubt the most profound technique in my tool box. While it may be challenging for many Hypnotists to master, it treats almost any symptom by uncovering the “Initial Sensitizing Event” or ISE and by allowing clients to change the perception of that moment from negative to positive, thus resolving inner conflict.
9. Worse moment ever in a hypnosis setting that ended up being a valuable learning experience.
Every client presents the therapist with its unique lesson. It’s never a bad experience if you manage to learn from it. I learned early on that I can never assume to know where the session will go and to approach each one of my clients with an open and flexible mind.
10. Any words of advice to potential clients or other hypnotists?
Practice and practice and practice some more. Start with the basic and relatively simple to resolve such as smoking secession. Do not move further until you have mastered the basics. Take you work seriously and treat every client with the sensitivity, attention and respect he or she deserves.
