Frequently Asked Questions

No. For example, I can help you to stop smoking — but only if you want to, and not because your partner told you to. You have to want the change. So please don't call me saying "make my son stop smoking" — it simply doesn't work that way.

A positive attitude and a willingness to change 😊

Usually, a session has three parts. After a brief introduction over the phone or email, we schedule a convenient time to meet.

At the beginning, we talk about what brings you here — the challenges you're facing and how you'd like them resolved.

Once we've agreed on the approach and I've answered any remaining questions, I'll guide you into hypnotic trance when you're ready.

At the end, we discuss next steps. Sometimes we meet more than once, and often there's a small task to help test and reinforce the work — for example, if you came for a fear of cats, I might ask you to look at a picture of one, watch a video, or even meet one in person if you feel brave enough.

Good question — and there's no single universal answer. Some people almost fall asleep, others say they felt nothing, and many experience something in between. It's quite individual. Most commonly, it's like daydreaming: you forget the world around you and drift into your own thoughts, with me gently guiding the direction.

It depends on what we're working on, but usually between 1 and 6 sessions — mostly up to 3. For example, a fear of spiders typically takes around 2 sessions, while weight management may take 3 or more, as some clients like to check back in after a month or two.

Hypnosis by itself can help relax the body, improve circulation, release muscular tension, unwind the mind, and bring a sense of calm.

Hypnotherapy uses that same state with a specific goal in mind. For example, to address a fear of spiders, we'd use hypnosis to rewrite the unhelpful "programming" that causes the unwanted reaction — replacing it with something more useful. Since so many of our behaviours are driven by subconscious patterns, hypnotherapy can be applied to a wide range of challenges.

I can, and I have — but not anymore. These sessions run 2–4 hours, and honestly, not everyone was a Napoleon. But more seriously: I believe in past lives and the spiritual work of thinkers like Allan Kardec and Chico Xavier. However, I also believe each life is its own clean sheet of paper. When someone is already overwhelmed by the weight of their current life, opening a window into the past can add to that burden rather than ease it. The session ends, the healing is done — but the memories stay with the person.

It rarely happens, but it can. That's why at the start of every online session I make sure you'll come back to full awareness safely if needed. We can then pick up where we left off once the connection is restored — or, if it's particularly unstable, reschedule to a better time.

Yes! You can listen to my free recordings on my YouTube channel here.

Hmm… no. In the worst case, you drift into a natural, deep sleep — from which you wake up just as you do every morning. That said, it's advised against listening to hypnosis recordings while driving or whenever you need to stay fully alert.

There are many forms of both Hypnosis and Meditation.

Hypnosis carries some unfortunate connotations — particularly around losing control, being manipulated, or doing things against your will. Films don't help with this, often using those fears as entertainment.

Meditation, on the other hand — when you hear that word, what comes to mind? A peaceful monk in a garden by a lake? Exactly. That's why most people are perfectly comfortable with meditation, while hypnosis can make them want to run the other way.

The truth is, during hypnosis the mind enters a very similar state to meditation. The main difference is that in a hypnosis session, I'm there to guide you toward a specific goal.
