Some stress in life is normal and is something that everyone experiences from time to time. However, chronic stress can negatively affect your quality of life. Stress may feel overwhelming and may be damaging to your mind and body.
Chronic, unmanaged stress can lead to increased blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety and depression, sleep issues, digestive challenges, sexual side effects, and may also exacerbate existing conditions.
Feel relaxed, safe and at ease!
Hypnosis invites a state of deep relaxation. It is the physiological opposite of stress. Through hypnosis your subconscious mind is more active and accessible.

I am currently seeing clients in my Kelowna based office and always offer sessions online and over the phone for those living outside of the Okanagan.
A moment of reflection
I have been a little bit quiet on here lately as I have been busy working with my clients and building tools and materials to help future clients.
After working with a person I do my best to follow up and see how things have changed. Or, out of the blue I will hear from a client with an update on their progress. There are times when I get goosebumps as I read these emails and I can’t help but smile as I hear how that person is progressing- shifting, and healing as they move forward. This is what keeps me going! This is one of the many things that motivates me to continue to do what I do.
Especially now, it is so important to take care of your mental health. Doing so is not a weakness. Taking care of your mental health is no different than taking care of your physical health.
If you are noticing a few things going on in your life such as poor sleep, feeling frustrated or anxious, getting irritable or feeling overwhelmed isn’t it time to take some action? Why wait for it to get worse?
Who doesn’t want to feel good, capable and confident moving forward?
If you are ready I offer sessions Tuesday - Saturday and continue to offer evening sessions for those who can’t come to see me during the day. Contact me directly to book a session and change the ways things are showing up in your life.
Self-sabotaging your success?
What is blocking you from reaching your full potential?
Often, you don’t have to look much further than the reflection in the mirror.
Mental blocks can affect a person’s life mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and in many other ways.
Perhaps you are making unhealthy life choices or limiting your success at work or school?
We may form mental blocks and self-limiting beliefs through our environment, the people we are around, as a result of a traumatic event, and even social media.
Using hypnosis we can tap into discovering what those mental blocks or limiting beliefs are and where they are coming from! You can then remove those blocks and update those old beliefs and start manifesting the outcomes you desire!
Plus, we can build your confidence by moving you forward in time- seeing yourself achieving those outcomes you desire and experiencing success!
Daily Practice for Mental and Physical Well Being
Daily self care
Living a healthy lifestyle means taking care of your psychological health along with your physical health.
The five principles of Reiki have become part of my daily self-care routine. If you find yourself struggling or if you would like a lovely daily reminder consider how these five principles may help you as well.
Though simple, these principles have a deep significance. Let me explain, from my perspective, and you are welcome to reflect on what they mean to you.
Just for today- Be mindful, live in the moment and in the ‘now’.
Do not be angry- Anger is focusing on a past you can’t change.
Do not be worried- Worry is focusing on a future you can’t control.
Be grateful- Reflect on the things in your life you have been blessed with- from the air you breathe to those who love you.
Do your duties fully- Be the best person you can throughout everyday life.
Be kind to others- Everyone has challenges and people are doing the best they can with the tools they have. Choose to be kind to those you encounter through the day.
Jikiden Reiki may be given in-person or remotely for both your physical and psychological well being.
So, what are you waiting for?
Why not make a choice to take a chance and change your life!
Kindness and compassion
When Thomas Edison was asked about how he felt about his failures, before finally inventing the light bulb, he replied, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’
Exploring what works and doesn’t work is part of being human. I believe we are here to learn through experiencing duality and this always includes emotion. For example, how could you truly know what you want if you haven’t also experienced what it is you don’t want? Along the way mistakes may be made as different paths are explored. Be patient with yourself. Learn from mistakes and move on!
Since few people would claim to be perfect, it seems unnecessary to pretend that we never make mistakes. Greeting mistakes and imperfections with kindness and compassion provides more nurturing conditions for growth. When you feel broken on the inside, give yourself some time to discover what you need to heal. And ask for help or support, if you feel stuck.
If you find you are making the same mistakes over and over again then hypnotherapy may be beneficial as we can use the emotions you are experiencing to determine the origin of the pattern you are wanting to break. Once discovered you may process and move forward in your life positively.

Pain management and the Mind-Body Connection
Living with Chronic Pain?
We are never disconnected at the neck!
Whatever happens in our minds- emotions, thought processes, perceptions, the five senses- is always reflected in our bodies. And, in the same way, what happens in our bodies is reflected and recorded in our minds. Some of the most important of these happenings have to do with pain- be it emotional, psychological or physical.
The very nature of hypnosis and self-hypnosis is helpful in coping with pain. Why? It is the opposite of being in a pain state. How can hypnosis help with pain?
Promotes relaxation
Changes your sense of pain
Distraction may help you focus on comfortable parts of your body
Self-hypnosis is easier to learn after you yourself have experienced hypnosis a few times. Kristine can teach you this! And learning and practicing self-hypnosis will put you back in charge of your experience!
Kristine offers her clients a variety of mind body options, including both outside resources, such as guided meditations and hypnosis audios and will engage your inner resources, to start changing the way you have been doing things up to this moment. So, rather than repeating those day to day patterns as you may have been in the past, she will offer you some ideas to build on, to investigate so you can notice how things begin to change moving forward. .
Pain may be mandatory, if you have a chronic illness or physical tissue damage, but suffering is optional.
Dealing with Times of Uncertainty
While watching the news unfold surrounding this coronavirus pandemic you may feel like the entire situation is out of your control. While the science world is preparing a vaccine what can you do? How might you respond in a way that will benefit you?
When it comes to how you respond to this virus or perhaps other situations in which you may find yourself- for example– a situation where your body is battling or recovering from a disease, or maybe your body has inflammation that is causing your physical pain. In any of these situations there are many things you can do- that are in your control. And one of these is having a lifestyle strategy..
Whether it be a virus, disease or physical pain- consider your lifestyle strategy.
Your personal care routine!
How are you managing your stress?
Stress can be managed in many ways- through breathing techniques, physical exercise, meditation and hypnosis to mention a few!
How are you sleeping? And, are you getting enough sleep?
Sleep is an opportunity for your body to heal and your mind to become clear so you can more easily focus!
How are you eating?
Eating nutritionally and even taking supplements, if you believe they are beneficial, is important!
All these things are in your Control!
How about hypnosis? How might it be beneficial for you?
Hypnosis may provide you with an option for well-being.
Consider a session where you get comfortable and I lead you into a relaxing trance… you become more aware of your breath, taking slow deep breaths- really resetting your nervous system (if you may be feeling anxious), next progressive relaxation helps with relaxing and releasing any stress or tension you may be holding in your muscles. I may then use suggestion to direct healing and restorative energy into any areas in your body that are of concern, perhaps visualizing strengthening your immune system or healing a particular area, and let’s not forget sleep as I include some suggestions for a wonderful slumber. Or perhaps, I guide you back to a time when you felt a certain way- for example, a time when you felt confident, healthy and well, on top of the world- and we then bring those wonderful feelings forward…
There are so many ways that hypnosis can be explored to help you physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually – just so many ways on so many levels.
A session can also be recorded so you have a resource audio that you can use anytime !
Remember you have options in helping to maintain or restore your health. Perhaps it’s time to take a few minutes for yourself and establish a personal care routine, and you might consider exploring hypnosis for even more positive change.
With hypnosis, there are no negative side effects and no drugs involved. The process is natural as you are using one of your most powerful resources- your mind!
Interested in learning more?
Give Kristine a call or email and see how hypnosis or hypnotherapy may be beneficial for you- physically, mentally or emotionally.
Sessions are offered in office as well as on-line – so you can experience hypnosis from the comfort of your own home, if you wish.
Sleep!
Sleep is a vital component of your overall health and well-being! Sleep enables your body to repair, be fit and ready for your day ahead.
Restorative healing takes place as you sleep. Sleep regenerates your mental health, reduces inflammation in your body and helps build your immune system!
Do you have trouble with turning off your thoughts at night? Hypnotherapy may be beneficial in helping you sleep more soundly.
A hypnosis audio may also help you sleep this evening! If you are interested in listening to a sleep audio to see how things might change please visit ‘Free Hypnosis Streaming’ on Hypnotherapy by Kristine’s website and try it for yourself. This audio will be available for a limited time.
If you have any questions please contact Kristine today!

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.”

For many self-love may be a hard one!
Self- love is the forgiveness, acceptance and respect for who you are deep down inside- and this includes all your beautiful parts as well as whatever you might consider your hideous parts!
And, when you love yourself, you take care of yourself, you honor your limitations, you listen to your needs and you respect your dreams enough to act on them.
Self-love isn’t selfish (as many might at first consider). You know when you are able to genuinely love and accept yourself, you are able to love and accept others much more fully.
