Profound Transformation, Positive Change
Hypnotherapy is a profound state of physical and mental relaxation during which the analytical faculties of the mind are bypassed and one becomes open to deep and lasting positive change. Trance is a normal and natural state we all go in and out of every day - daydreaming, watching tv, staring out the window, missing a turnoff while driving. Hypnosis can be induced externally and internally. The hypnotherapist is a facilitator who keeps the client focused on the intention or goal while guiding him or her through the transformative process. Anyone who can concentrate and follow simple directions can get results through hypnosis.

A Catalyst for Self Development Throughout History
Hypnosis has been an agent for positive change since Biblical times. Traditional cultures throughout history developed a variety of methods for inducing powerful trance states in which they included activities such as chanting, drumming, dancing or focusing on a candle flame.
Modern hypnosis was developed by Milton Erickson, and endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association in 1961. The American Medical Association has approved the use of hypnotism since 1958.
