Issues

Hypnosis can affect many issues directly or indirectly.

For example, one client came in for weight loss, and the following week, she said, “I’m not afraid of driving over bridges anymore. Did you put something like that in my weight loss session?” The answer was, “No.” Sometimes, a seemingly unrelated issue will spontaneously resolve.

My services are not health care, counseling, or psychotherapy, but always complementary to those practices. I must have approval from your licensed health-care professional before supporting you with issues that are or could be diagnosed or treated by those providers.

Despite research to the contrary, by law I make no health benefit claims for my services. The services I render are held out to the public as nontherapeutic hypnotism, defined as the use of hypnosis to inculcate positive thinking and the capacity for self-hypnosis, in which all clients receive instruction.

I am a Consulting Hypnotist with more than 15,000 client hours helping individuals change behaviors that compromise their success. I am a member in good standing with the Oregon Hypnotherapy Association and fulfill the annual continuing education requirements of the OHA.
