My journey. My mission. YOUR healing.

What does a medical doctor that still feels hurt and abandonment do? She finds an answer in how to truly heal. My life was indeed not a direct path to becoming a hypnotherapist, but it truly is my calling.

Throughout my life, I have been drawn to serve, to share, to connect with other people. I chose medicine, because I thought that was my answer… I thought doctors knew everything! Boy, was I wrong! The more I learned the more I realized I knew very little.

It was not until now that everything has come together; my life and struggles have led me to write this. To tell you that I know what you are going through. I have studied many, many books. I have spent many years in school and hold the highest degree one could ask.

But it is truly my hypnotherapy training that has given me the intuitions, the insights, and tools to heal from my own blockages and to connect with you, to help and guide you.

To help you discover your own inspiration, your passions, your desires, and to simply be you again! To find that missing part of what is just not going the way you’ve dreamed it would.

LIFE. AWARENESS. PERSPECTIVE! it all started with my own traumas and "dysfunctional" upbringing. I always had an innate drive to change the world, but found that truly changing myself and simply how I viewed the world changed it for me. I had to share it...it's just to good NOT to share it. I love a challenge and love putting all my experiences and education together to give my clients' a more clear path on how.

Not what they expected! After a in depth understanding of what hypnosis is and how we work on the issue clients walk out with more clarity and understanding. Throughout the session clients are able feel comfortable and relaxed, most are surprised how open and easy it is for them to simply say what is needed.

Hypnosis is basically an altered state, and it is a state you have been in. We all go into this state but simply do not realize it. Have you ever driven from one point to another (i.e. Work to home) and wondered how you even got there? Not realize the streets you went down or lights you stopped at? Maybe you were talking on the phone? This is called 'highway hypnosis'. You're basically so entranced in your own conscious thoughts all while your subconscious mind is what assured your body is pushing the peddle at exactly the right pressure, you read all the stop signs or lights all while your conscious mind may have been thinking about what to make for dinner or a prior conversation or even playing scenes in your mind of a conversation you are dreading.
