Somatic Hypnotherapy in-person & online.
Train the mind. Work with the body. Optimize your life.
Hypnosomatics combines hypnosis and somatic practices to change learned patterns in how you think, feel and respond.
WHAT IT IS
Much of what we do runs on autopilot.
Think about driving a car. When you first learned, you had to consciously think about every movement. With repetition, those actions became automatic. This is how the subconscious works. It stores learned patterns and runs many of them automatically. Some of these patterns and limiting beliefs are keeping us stuck in old ways of thinking, feeling, or responding.
Hypnosomatics works with those automatic responses directly, through the mind and body.
What is Hypnosomatics?
Hypnosomatics is the method I developed, a therapeutic process that combines clinical hypnosis and somatic work to change patterns that have not shifted through talking alone.
Talk therapy primarily works with the conscious mind, what you can think about, understand, and put into words. But much of our behavior is automatic, shaped by learned beliefs, associations, and responses outside conscious awareness.
The brain learns through repetition. So in hypnosis, we give it something new to repeat - a different way of thinking, feeling, responding, than the one it's been running on for years. Some of the same brain networks light up when you vividly imagine something as when you actually live it, which means this kind of rehearsal genuinely wires in the change you're working toward.
We work with the body too, in the same session, because the pattern was never only in your thoughts. It's in your breath. In tension you're holding without realizing it. In the way your shoulders climb toward your ears before you've even clocked that you're anxious.
Most people find the sessions themselves deeply relaxing, sometimes surprisingly enjoyable. It can feel like being fully absorbed in a good daydream, and a lot of people are surprised by how much control they discover they actually have inside it.
IN SESSION
What it’s like
YOU ARE AWARE & IN CONTROL
You can hear everything & think clearer than before. You recognize how much influence you can have over your thoughts, responses, and patterns.
IT FEELS CALM & RELAXING
The mental noise quiets & attention turns inward. For many people it feels like being immersed in a book, a great movie or like daydreaming.
ONLINE IS JUST AS EFFECTIVE
Hypnosis is an internal state. It is a natural state we move in and out of every day, so physical proximity isn’t required.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and heightened responsiveness. You experience it more often than you may realize. When you become absorbed in a movie, drive somewhere and barely notice the journey, or become completely immersed in a thought.
In hypnosis, you can use focused attention and suggestion to change learned patterns, how you think, feel, behave, and even how you experience sensations in your body. Your brain is remarkably responsive to suggestion, making hypnosis a powerful way to create new responses and possibilities for change.
Within the Hypnosomatics method, hypnosis is used as a precise tool to access subconscious patterns, emotional imprints, and conditioned responses that traditional talk therapy may not fully reach. By working at this deeper level, it supports the release of stored tension, anxiety, and persistent behavioral or emotional patterns in a safe, embodied way.
This mind–body approach allows change to happen not just cognitively, but experientially - where the body and subconscious can reorganize together.
-
Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach that works with how stress and overwhelming experiences are expressed through the nervous system and body.
Rather than focusing only on the story of what happened, we pay attention to sensations, breath, movement, tension, and the body’s responses in the present moment. This can help you develop greater awareness and flexibility in how your nervous system responds.
In HypnoSomatics®, this body-based work complements hypnosis, allowing change to happen through both the mind and the body.
-
Yes, Hypnotherapy works beautifully online because all you need is your attention, an openness to the process, and the ability to follow simple guidance. Being in your own space can make it even easier to relax and settle in, making it ideal for busy schedules or clients around the world.
-
There is no set number. Every mind is different, and change happens at its own pace. Majority of people notice a meaningful shift in their very first session and leave with tools they can continue using on their own.
Some patterns can change in just 1–4 sessions, others may take a little longer.
For some, the work naturally becomes an ongoing journey of self-discovery—exploring new possibilities, expanding what feels possible, and creating positive change in other areas of life.
-
No.
This is clinical hypnosis, not stage hypnosis. You remain fully aware, present, and in control throughout the session. Rather than losing control, you gain deeper access to your inner intelligence. Being deeply focused doesn’t mean giving up your ability to choose. You can hear everything I say, think about it, accept it, reject it, or respond in your own way.
Think of it less as giving up control and more as discovering control you didn’t know you had.
-
It can feel deeply relaxing, peaceful, and even surprisingly enjoyable. You’re awake and in control, while your attention becomes more inward and focused. Some people experience a sense of lightness, calm, or happiness, almost like being completely absorbed in a pleasant thought or daydream.
-
People vary in how naturally they respond to hypnosis, so there is no one way it should feel. We begin by discovering how your mind responds best to focused attention and suggestion, and tailor the process to you.
You don’t have to be “good at hypnosis.” If you can focus your attention and engage your imagination, you already have the basic abilities hypnosis uses.
And HypnoSomatics® is more than hypnosis. We also work with the unconscious mind through somatic work, art processes, and other approaches. The goal is simply to find the way your mind and body respond best and use it to create change.
-
In hypnosis, you enter a deeply focused state where you can rehearse a different response. Through visualization, you give the brain an experience of how you want to think, feel and respond, not just how you have responded in the past. Because the brain can activate many of the same networks during vivid imagination as it does during real experience, this mental rehearsal can help strengthen new neural pathways. That is neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to change through experience and repetition.
We work with the body in the same session too, because the pattern isn't only happening in your thoughts. It's in the breath, the held tension, the shoulders that rise before you've even noticed you're anxious.
Learned patterns can change. The brain can learn something new. That's the basis of this work.
