Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis/how does it work?

Hypnosis is a powerful technique that can help individuals tap into their unconscious mind to create positive changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation that allows individuals to access their unconscious mind, which is the part of the mind that controls automatic behaviors, emotions, and beliefs.

During a hypnosis session, the individual is guided into a relaxed state where they are more open to suggestion and positive reinforcement. Through the use of specific language and techniques, the hypnotist can help the individual change negative thought patterns and behaviors, overcome fears and phobias, and increase confidence and self-esteem.

Hypnosis works by bypassing the critical conscious mind and accessing the unconscious mind directly. By doing so, the hypnotist can help the individual create new neural pathways and reprogram old, limiting beliefs that may be holding them back. Hypnosis can also help individuals access deeper levels of creativity, intuition, and insight, allowing them to tap into their full potential.

Overall, hypnosis is a safe and effective technique that can help individuals achieve their goals, overcome obstacles, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

Can everyone be hypnotized?

Most people can be hypnotized to some degree, although the ability to be hypnotized can vary from person to person. Factors that can influence the effectiveness of hypnosis include the individual’s level of suggestibility, ability to relax and focus, and willingness to participate in the process. Hypnosis is a choice and is called self-hypnosis for that reason, you choose to go into your hypnosis. It’s important to note that depth of trance is not the most important factor; even individuals who are too anxious to close their eyes can benefit from hypnosis.

While some individuals may be more challenging to hypnotize than others, as a skilled and experienced hypnotist, I have worked with a wide range of individuals and help them achieve their goals through hypnosis. It’s also essential to remember that hypnosis is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and different techniques and methods may be used based on the individual’s unique needs and preferences. As a hypnotist, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment that allows each individual to access their own unique state of hypnosis. I always customize the session to the individual and collaborate with them to achieve the desired outcome.

What is Future Life Progression (Visioning) (FLP) and how does it work?

Future Life Progression (FLP) is a guided deep relaxation process that helps you connect with a future version of yourself — someone who has already moved through your current challenges and is living the life you desire.

It works by gently guiding your mind into a relaxed, focused state where you can access your unconscious wisdom and imagine your best possible future. In this calm state, you’re able to mentally “step into” that future moment, see what you’re doing, how you’re feeling, and what choices got you there.

You return with insights, clarity, and confidence about what actions to take now to start moving in that direction.

Many clients describe it as deeply comforting, eye-opening, and empowering.

How are Future Life Progression (Visioning) (FLP) and Hypnosis similar?

Future Life Progression (FLP) and Hypnosis both use a deeply relaxed state of focused attention — often described as a trance — to help you access inner guidance and make lasting mental shifts. In both experiences, you're fully aware, in control, and able to remember as much as you would in a normal conversation.

They also share a common goal: helping you move beyond stuck patterns and reconnect with your own inner clarity, strength, and direction.

How are Future Life Progression (Visioning) (FLP) and Hypnosis different?

While both use the same relaxed brain state, the focus is different:

  • Hypnosis often works with habits, current thought patterns and limiting beliefs to release blocks and create new beliefs.

  • Future Life Progression (FLP) looks ahead. It connects you to your future self — the one who’s already successful, confident, and aligned — so you can receive guidance from within and act on it now.

    Think of it this way:

  • Hypnosis clears the clutter.

  • FLP shows you what’s possible.

    Used together, they’re a powerful combination for fast, lasting change!
