Transform Your Life Through
the Power of Hypnosis

You almost certainly aren't. Hypnosis isn't a talent some people have and others don't. It's a state every functioning mind can enter, and most people enter it several times a day without noticing.

If you've ever lost an hour in a book, cried at a film you knew was fiction, or driven home on autopilot, you've already done it. My job is to take you there on purpose and put it to work. The analytical people who are sure it won't work on them often go the deepest, because they're the ones paying real attention.

No. You keep your values, your judgment, and your ability to refuse the entire time. A suggestion that conflicts with what you actually want simply doesn't take.

What you've seen on a stage is a handful of extroverted volunteers who signed up specifically to do that. Same state, very different purpose.

You'll be awake and you'll remember it. "Hypnosis" comes from the Greek word for sleep, which was a naming error we've been stuck with for two centuries.

You'll feel heavy, calm, and unusually focused. Some people are briefly disappointed that they heard every word. That's normal, and it's working.

Most issues clear up in three to eight sessions. Smoking cessation is typically three sessions for a pack-a-day smoker.

Sessions are $200 with a 20% discount for seniors 65+, police, fire, military, social workers, medical professionals, teachers, and students of all ages.

Ask about session packages.

Yes. If I stopped talking and walked out, you'd drift into an ordinary nap or open your eyes within a few minutes.

The most common side effects of hypnosis are better concentration and an increased ability to relax.

What matters is who's guiding you and how they handle what comes up. That's what a thousand hours of accredited training is for.

No. Nothing about the process asks you to adopt any belief or worldview. Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness, just like sleep, not a practice or a doctrine. I use your goals and your language. Hypnosis works by getting your conscious mind and subconscious mind on the same page.

I'm a certified hypnotist, not a physician or licensed therapist, so I don't diagnose or treat medical and psychological conditions. For anything in that category I work alongside your doctor or licensed provider, on their referral.

Plenty of what people bring me — habits, fears, confidence, focus, stress — sits comfortably outside that line. If yours doesn't, I'll tell you straight and help you find the right person.

Both. I see clients off Bethal Road in Columbus, and work over video with people across Ohio and beyond. Online works just as well with a quiet hour, a door that closes, and headphones.

I always recommend in-person sessions, and some clients prefer the familiarity of their own space.

That describes most of the people who sit in my chair, and the woman who hadn't driven a freeway in 19 years. Willpower operates on the conscious mind. Cravings, fears, and reflexes don't live there. That mismatch is the entire reason "just decide to stop" fails so reliably for so many capable people.

Bring me the list of what you've tried. It tells me where to start.
