Hypnosis is a state of deeply focused concentration,
relaxed and often dreamlike.

Many people are curious to know how it works and what it feels like.

Typically, a trained hypnotherapist helps a client ease into a pleasant          and comfortable inner realm. Awareness of the outer world fades, as breathing slows. With eyes closed, the client often experiences heightened senses       and imagery.

Throughout the trance, the hypnotherapist communicates with the unconscious mind, using positive suggestions, questions, images, ideas and metaphors.

     It's a bit like preparing a garden bed and planting the seeds of change.

Our unconscious minds are responsible for far more of our thoughts and actions than we might realize. The majority of our beliefs are formed in our childhood, before we turn seven years old. Over the course of a lifetime, we can get mired down in self-limiting ideas and habits. Unfortunately, the memories and beliefs we're not fully conscious of, can sometimes have a greater influence on us than we're even aware of.

By altering our inner landscape, hypnosis can create a whole new perception of life. It allows our old self-limiting habits and beliefs to fall away, and be replaced with healthier, more affirming ones.

As our self perception changes, we begin to alter our outward behavior.

* Hypnosis is safe and effective *

It has been approved by the American Medical Association since the 1950's. Still, some people are suspicious of hypnosis, and may fear losing self-control, an idea that's been played up for decades on stage and screen. In reality, hypnosis will not coerce someone to do things that aren't in keeping with their core beliefs and values. We retain control of our true selves. Those folks clucking and scratching around like chickens at performances, are born entertainers, easily identified in a crowd by a stage hypnotist.

We all regularly experience trance states - for instance, when we "loose" ourselves in a fascinating book, or forget that we're even driving on familiar roadways. We often dip in and out of these slower brain wavelengths as we fall asleep at night.

A good hypnotherapist helps a client ease into a relaxed trance quite naturally. During sessions, the unconscious mind resonates with the hypnotist's words, and pays attention to what rings true.

Our old problems are reframed in a new light,
leading the way to peaceful resolution.

As a certified hypnotherapist, I can help you reach your full potential.

My training in Ericksonian hypnosis is complemented by three decades of meditation practice, and rooted in my life-long study of human nature and culture.

 Clients often like to learn self-hypnosis to enhance their ongoing search for well being. In just a few sessions, you can start to familiarize yourself with  visualizations and other techniques that enhance your natural ability to slow down and go within. When we become comfortable with our unconscious selves, it's easier to heal the blocks that tend to hinder us from living life to the fullest. 

                                            Enjoy the journey.


"I have seen Janine a few times now and each time is different and 
yet  works through stresses or fears on a level that talking through    the same issue doesn't. I never feel like I'm out of it and under a   spell.  I feel like I'm in a dream state.

  Janine's voice is soft and easy to listen to. She holds the space energetically very well. She has helped me with stuck times in my relationship, fears around my pregnancy and the loss and resentment with my father.

  I have enjoyed every session and learned something new, gained helpful visualizations to use later, subconscious places in my mind    that bring me peace and a feeling of letting the issues go. I would recommend Janine to anyone. I think she is very wise, diverse in her technique and never made me feel judged. I hope to see her again sometime soon."
