Hypnosis is a natural state where your focused mind becomes receptive to positive updates, rewiring old habits for meaningful change.

Scientifically, hypnosis shifts your brain from its busy “Beta” state (where you are now, alert and thinking) to a calmer “Alpha” or “Theta” state, where you’re relaxed but still aware.

You stay in control, using your own inner strengths to create lasting transformation.

What It Isn't...

• Sleep: You are aware throughout.

• Losing control: You decide what shifts.

• A trick: It's science-backed, not magic.

Yes, hypnosis is a completely natural and safe state that is often deeply relaxing. You experience hypnosis-like states daily through daydreaming, intense concentration, and when entering and exiting sleep.

Absolutely. Lisa exercises the utmost discretion when working with clients.

Most people can be hypnotized and it is completely safe and you are in control. The most important thing is to arrive to your session with an open mind and desire to make a change.

• Weight Loss: Addressing emotional eating, mindless snacking, portion control, making healthier food choices, building exercise habits, improving sleep, reducing alcohol and sugar intake, fostering positive body image, promoting self-compassion, and boosting confidence.

• Habit Change: Reducing alcohol consumption, curbing technology overload (e.g., social media, phone use, email), enhancing motivation, boosting confidence, stopping procrastination, and improving sleep.

• Enhance Performance: Improving outcomes in sports (e.g., pickleball), test-taking, and similar activities.

• Fears: Overcoming issues such as fear of flying, public speaking, and others.

First, we’ll have a conversation to discuss your goal or situation, the hypnosis process, and any questions you might have.

Make sure to have a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. Wearing headphones/AirPods is also highly encouraged.

Once the session begins, I’ll guide you into a deep relaxation, and then offer positive suggestions based on your goals. You remain conscious throughout the session, interacting with me during hypnosis by signaling or speaking. Hypnosis is not sleep, and you do not lose control.

When hypnosis is concluded, it is normal to feel so relaxed and refreshed that it feels like you took a nap. You can emerge from hypnosis slowly and gently, and you will be able to go about your day normally.

Yes, you might hear every word I say during the session, and that’s perfectly okay! You’re still in hypnosis. It’s like when you’re driving and focused on the road but still notice the radio—your mind can do both. Some people stay lightly aware, others drift deeper and forget parts, but it all works. Your subconscious hears me either way, and that’s where the change happens. You won’t be “out cold” or out of control—you’re just relaxed, and I’ll be your guide.
