What is Hypnotherapy?

Being in a state of hypnosis is something we all experience every day.
In the morning when we wake up, just before we are fully aware of our
surroundings, we are in a mild hypnotic-trance. A daydream is a light trance.
Meditation and prayer are forms of trance as well.  In hypnotherapy we use guided imagery to put the client in to this deep relaxed state, so that with suggestions, we can gain access to the subconscious mind, enabling us to heal some of the challenges in her waking conscious life.  This type of hypnosis is unlike any stage hypnosis you may be familiar with. A client will not do anything she wouldn’t do while completely awake. It is completely safe and gentle.

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique is a procedure in which the practitioner taps into various meridian based points on the client to help release physical, mental or emotional problems.  I like to teach my clients how to do this for
themselves.  It is used for a variety of conditions.

What is NLP?

Neuro Linguistic Programming is a group of techniques and skills that include communication insights that can help us to understand how different people experience life.  One of the methods I use is to reframe an incident in a person’s life in order to change her way of thinking about it, therefore releasing the pain that surrounds it.

What is Spiritual Counseling?  

It is a kind of talk therapy by an Ordained Minister to help a client to become more aware of her spiritual nature.  Connecting with nature, working
with animals, attending a church or spiritual organization can help relieve
anxiety, loneliness or any feeling of disconnection.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a system of natural healing for body and mind.  It was
developed by Dr. Mikao Usui who was a Doctor in Japan during the nineteenth century.  Rei means “universal” and ki or chi means “Life Force Energy”.   Some people consider Reiki as a path to personal or spiritual growth.  I am a Reiki Master and Sensei.  I use Reiki in nearly all of my Holistic Healing sessions.  Life Force Energy runs through subtle pathways or meridians in our bodies. When these pathways are blocked, physical or emotional illness can result.  Reiki helps to rebalance and cleanse these internal energies.  Reiki is also relaxing and benefitting to the entire immune system.
