What can you expect during your private therapy session?
Hypnotherapy is teamwork! You will help me to help you. Just as every individual is unique so too are the challenges that a person may choose to work on. While some people may only require a single session others may require a few sessions to achieve lasting results.
In your first private therapy session we will typically:
Discuss the presenting symptoms or issue that brought you here as well as your short and long term goals
Chat about any questions you may have about the process
Establish an individual therapy plan customized specifically for you
Determine the number of sessions your therapy plan may require
Introduce you to hypnosis
In subsequent sessions we will follow your individual therapy plan. In doing so, I may use a variety of proven hypnotherapeutic tools which may include:
Hypnosis to help determine the cause of presenting symptoms, unhelpful patterns or mental blocks
Waking hypnosis methods to change unwanted feelings, thoughts, beliefs or behaviors
Stories, imagery, metaphors, reframing or direct suggestions
Reinforcement of learning for lasting results
Hypnosis methods to help desensitize painful memories; and
Self- hypnosis as a self- care tool to strengthen change or continue healing process.
We will likely do much of your private therapy using hypnosis. Clients experience a relaxing state while feeling very aware.
Using traditional hypnosis, you will experience your conscious mind at rest while we access your resourceful subconscious mind. With access to your subconscious mind we in turn can access your memories, your perceptions of events, etc. to help you understand and resolve issues you are currently experiencing in life.
Using waking hypnosis, you will experience an interesting state as you will naturally go in and out of the conscious state, during conversation. You will access subconscious memories to help you discover what is deeply important to you at a core level and then transform that core change into your future.
Sessions may be done in my Kelowna office, Enderby office or online.
Online hypnotherapy sessions provide an alternative for those who would rather meet from the comfort of their own space, or for those who are unable to travel or live remotely. Online sessions work exactly the same way as face to face sessions. It is also a great way to have a session from the comfort of your home, feeling safe and comfortable.
A complimentary 15 minute consultation is included to discuss presenting symptoms and answer any questions you may have.
The cost of an online therapy session, after your free consultation, is the same as a Private Therapy Session with payment due prior to initial session.

What is Regression Therapy?
Emotionalized thoughts, often formed when one is a young child or during a traumatic event, are life decisions frozen in time. In those traumatic moments the younger person perceives, or forms beliefs, which stay with them forming a mental block.
How do you remove a mental block? Well, consider a dandelion- a pretty yet annoying yellow flower growing in your yard. If you pull the flower out the plant will come back over time. But, if you instead, pull the flower and root out, you will stop that annoying flower from springing into action again. The plant will be removed completely. Regression therapy is very similar. We can access your memories, available in your subconscious mind, to revisit the very root of your issue, the origin of when a perception was formed. By reviewing the scene, you can then put events in proper perspective so moving forward you bring along the improved, updated belief(s).
Mental blocks may be formed for many reasons and can affect a person’s life physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.
Have you ever watched an adult acting out in some way and literally thought, “What is up with him? He is acting just like a 2 year old!” Chances are that at 2 years old something did happen to that little boy who then formed a belief based on his perception at that time. The result? That young boy formed a mental block that, when triggered even as an adult, has the 2 year old resurface.
Perhaps you have a friend who continually makes unhealthy life choices, ranging from the type of partner she chooses to an addiction she can’t seem to break. You may both see a pattern repeat itself yet your friend just can’t seem to break the pattern to make healthier choices. Chances are that at some point, when your friend was younger, something happened. It could have been an incident, something she read, something overheard in conversation or on television or social media and unknowingly she formed a perception or belief in that moment that she has carried forward into adulthood.
Just as everyone is unique so too are life experiences and the different types of mental blocks that may develop. If you are experiencing any of the following conditions hypnotherapy may be for you:
Breaking habits such as smoking or nail biting
Healing fears and phobias
Managing anxiety or stress
Clearing emotional charge and healing grief due to painful experiences
Releasing “shock energy” or clearing physical complaints or trauma for which your doctor finds no physical basis
Managing chronic pain
Resolving lifelong reoccurring patterns in relationships or emotional issues
Experiencing problems in school, work or in your relationship
Feeling lonely, unhappy and believe you aren’t getting the most out of your life; or
Performance related limiting beliefs
