Hypnosis is a relaxing altered state by which we access the subconscious part of the mind. Using the subconscious, (which is the part of the mind that runs the whole autonomic nervous system, your breathing, heart rate, digestion and more), we can help with positive changes you want to bring in your life.
Hypnosis is safe and we all have experienced it in our everyday life. Some examples are day dreaming, driving your car home and not remembering which streets you took, and being focused on a task after which you may notice many hours have passed. When you experience hypnosis it is similar to a guided meditation.
Hypnotherapy is a combination of talking about the issue you have come in to resolve, such as a fear or a negative habit that is interfering with your life, and using hypnosis to move you forward in a positive healthy direction.
