Q. I’m a Christian, is it ok for a Christian to be hypnotized?

A. YES! Relax. I’ve got you covered with this one. I’m a practicing Catholic and researched this before I got into this field. Roman Catholics, the Anglican Church and Lutherans actively support and utilize hypnosis in helping people. On the other hand, the Church of Christ, the Seventh-day Adventists, the evangelical church, fundamentalists and charismatics tend to preach and teach against it. Most churches and groups are in the middle where hypnosis is really not an issue. If you are very concerned, please just let me know. I can even design your hypnosis experience to be a totally faith based one with all suggestions based on your faith and beliefs. I bring this question up first because it’s very important to me. My faith is very important to me. And if it’s important to you as well, I want you to be assured you and your mind are in safe hands.

Q. When I’m under hypnosis, am I totally out? Will I remember anything?

A. At all times you are aware and in control of everything happening and everything I say to you. You can even disagree with what I say! But that usually doesn’t happen because we’ve talked about what your goals are before the session and the hypnosis is completely tailored to what you want to achieve.

Q. What if I fall asleep?

A. The subconscious mind will still hear me. But if at any time I think you may have fallen asleep, I use specific techniques and suggestions to help you become aware again.

Q. What conditions does hypnosis treat?

A. In the state of NJ I am only able to claim that hypnosis is effective for weight loss, smoking cessation, in assisting with stress management not related to medical or mental health disorder, increasing motivation in employment, the workplace and in sports and enhancing creative, artistic and scholastic endeavors. I’ll let you read in between the lines.

Q. Does it really work?

A. Yes, but often it takes more than the one session wonder many hypnotists claim. The reason for this is that many habits, such as smoking, need the reinforcement of more than 1 session to make the new habits “stick”. If you’ve been smoking for 25 years, it’s best to reinforce the new habits and make sure you’re not falling back into old patterns. Weight loss is another area that doesn’t have a single facet. Believe it or not, most people with weight issues don’t eat because they love cheesecake and are hungry. Most people who have weight issues have a variety of reasons they are overweight. These are both physical and emotional reasons. The good thing is that hypnosis addresses both and once they are addressed, they are gone permanently. But this may take a little time to unwind and reveal.

Q. Is hypnosis like therapy?

A. NO! If you are dealing with serious psychological issue, you need to contact a licensed therapist. I can not diagnosis or treat any medical conditions.

Q. What happens during a session?

A. The hypnosis I offer is actually considered Hypnocoaching. When you come in, we will review your goals and the specific issues you want to change. Together we decide on a course of action you would like to take to achieve those goals. I will then hypnotize you and start the hypnosis session. Once we are done you will feel rejuvenated and not tired at all.

Q. Is it expensive?

A. Most hypnotists will schedule a call with you and try to sell you on their services. I respect you and your time more than that. I put my prices right here on my site so you can take your time, review all the information and then decide if this is something you want to try. No pressure. If you’re anything like me, and I’m almost certain you are, you like to think about something and let it marinate. Once you’re ready just give me a call….I’m here for you.
