SO WHAT IS HYPNOSIS? You have a conscious and a subconscious mind. The conscious mind is fairly weak and is the home of short-term memory, rational thought and willpower. By contrast, your subconscious mind is a very powerful computer with permanent memory in which is recorded everything you have ever experienced. Between these two is "the critical factor of the conscious mind." It acts as a buffer and filter between these two minds. Hypnosis is simply the bypass of this critical factor so the subconscious mind becomes very open to suggestions and recall to help you understand and change your behaviour and perceptions of past events in your life. You are not asleep and you're not under the power of the hypnotherapist and, because you are very mentally alert, you will refuse to say or do anything you would not be comfortable doing or saying in your normal daily life.

MEDICAL HYPNOANALYSIS - It is based on the fact that there is a mind-body connection and thought caused illness. Many forms of illness can be caused by a negative experience buried deep in your subconscious mind that you are usually totally unaware of. This source of negative emotion can make your subconscious mind think you do not deserve to be healthy and it will punish you with illness and pain. In hypnosis, this event (s) can be recalled; put into perspective and all the negative emotions associated with it can be eliminated so the body can heal. Hypnosis then, is different from other ways of dealing with illness and pain as it views many common illnesses as symptoms rather than problems and works through the subconscious mind to correct the underlying problems and eliminate the symptoms or behaviours.

Hypnosis is not a substitute for and should not replace your medical care. It works in concert with and does not interfere with any medical therapy. It is safe, side effect free, and usually pleasant.

WEIGHT LOSS / EATING PROBLEMS - If you are committed to being normal weight, hypnosis works where other methods fail because it bypasses willpower and works through the subconscious mind to deal with why you eat or do not eat, body image, sugar addiction, motivation for exercise and other reasons you have become what you are.

SMOKING CESSATION WITHOUT WEIGHT GAIN - If you truly want to stop smoking, hypnosis is the most successful method available. No drugs, gums, patches, needles or lasers are required to make you a non-smoker today.

LEARNING AND TEST ANXIETY - Any student from high school upward can be helped. Very helpful for adult students, real estate or securities typed studies. Eliminate test anxiety, improve study habits, memory retention and academic skills.

ADDICTIONS - Most addictions including alcohol, drug, sugar and sexual addictions respond well to hypnosis. The goal of hypnosis is "elimination of" rather than "control of" the problem.

ATTENTION AND ACTIVITY PROBLEMS - Are you or your child nervous, fidgety and/or squirmy with a short attention span and unable to focus on anything long enough to be successful in life? Hypnosis can help a child or adult overcome these difficulties and become much more effective, successful and happy people without drugs.

CANCER - In a way you are not even aware of; your mind has played a role in your getting cancer. Hypnosis simply helps to change this negative role to a positive healing role so your life quality during cancer treatment and your final outcome are both much better. We can help you focus on the healing power of your mind to work in concert with your cancer doctor as he helps your body to fight the physical effects of your cancer.

HYPNOSIS WITH CHILDREN - Children respond to hypnosis easier and more quickly than adults and can be helped with many childhood problems by hypnosis. Hypnosis can be easily learned by parents to help their children. The simple examples would be a child who hates vegetables or a child with an unusual fear or a child with a bedwetting or stuttering problem could all be helped.

PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH - Unlike other childbirth methods, hypnosis does not teach you to cope with pain. Rather, it teaches you to have a very relaxed, shorter and pain-free birthing experience. It works best if started in the seventh month but can be started as late as three to four weeks before delivery.

DEPRESSION - This is one of the age-old issues of mankind and it usually responds quickly and well to hypnosis.

DIABETES - Hypnosis focuses the healing power of the mind and is very successful in both helping to create a desire to master and then mastering and maintaining the lifestyle changes that are required to be healthy with diabetes. It is not uncommon for diabetics to significantly reduce their medication while improving their health and quality-of-life.

HABITS - Habits such as stuttering, nail biting, curling your hair, or grinding your teeth are easily eliminated with hypnosis.

HYPNODONTICS - If you have a fear of the dentist or doctor, you can learn to have a stress free, painless dentist or doctor visit. Learn to create a deep hypnotic anaesthesia and control your gag reflex, salvation and bleeding.

SELF HYPNOSIS - Taught in two sessions, you learn to place yourself in deep hypnosis, correctly construct and give yourself suggestions.

NON ORGANIC MALE IMPOTENCE - Also known as ED or poor sexual performance, this condition is estimated to affect as many as seven out of 10 men to some degree. Hypnosis has a very high success rate in correcting this problem and, unlike medicines, it is side effect free and can be used by any man who can safely have sex.

PAIN CONTROL - If the cause of your pain has been medically determined and is controlled by medications and recurrent therapies, you can learn to control and even eliminate much of your pain with a little effort. Many times your mind can help heal and eliminate the cause of your pain. Savings on medications and improvement in quality-of-life is often dramatic. A medical referral is absolutely necessary.

PHOBIAS AND FEARS - Hypnosis finds the cause of your fear or phobia in your subconscious mind. Once the causal factor is understood, the phobia or fear is easily corrected. Fear of public speaking, fear of heights, flying, agoraphobia or claustrophobia are perhaps the most common issues we deal with although there are many others.

PRE AND POST SURGERY HYPNOSIS - Have much easier surgery, better outcome, shorter recovery period and reduced chance of infection by learning to expect that to happen. Overcome fear, anxiety or other negative emotions that may adversely affect your surgery. Learn to control your own pain, bleeding and be in control.

SPORTS - Regardless of your sport, you can learn powerful techniques adaptable to any sport that will teach and condition you to perform to an ever improving performance level. Great for the weekend or the competitive athlete.

SNORING - Do you sleep with someone who's snoring interrupts your sleep and keeps you wake? Hypnosis can teach you to enjoy their snoring and sleep like a baby.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME - Have you had all the tests and been told that there's nothing wrong but you still have the cramping, bloating, food intolerance, diarrhea and/or constipation that medication only helps a little? IBS is a symptom that your body employs as a reaction to something you have experienced in the past. Hypnosis helps you discover that "something" in your subconscious mind and helps you correct it so you can feel well again.

OTHER ISSUES - Issues such as forgiveness, stress management, low self-esteem, successful salesmanship and self-discipline respond well to hypnosis.

OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS known to respond to hypnosis include allergies, Alzheimer's (in early stages), arthritis, asthma, chronic skin problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hypertension, infertility, migraines, Parkinson's, PTSD and PMS among others.

NOTE – Hypnosis is an adjunct therapy to be used in concert with your medical care. While it is absolutely true that hypnosis can resolve or at the very least, improve many conditions so your quality-of-life is better, we NEVER ask or recommend you stop or change or medical care until you have consulted with your health-care provider. We NEVER provide any diagnosis.
