1. Hypnotherapy is always quicker than others types of therapy

Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

2. Being in an altered state is natural to all of us

Most of us are hypnotized several times a day when we watch TV or read, getting into the story or emotional drama. When our attention is engaged, our consciousness is in the story, not the physical place where we are. This results in a shift in our state of consciousness, similar to the one we reach in hypnotherapy sessions

While other methods of therapy may take an extended length of time and numerous visits, Kay’s clients get in touch with their wise inner mind and are able to change very quickly. Each client and Kay co-create a personalized cd- an audio recording, for daily, at-home practice to achieve the desired results.

The GOOD NEWS is that light-to-medium depth trance states are just as effective as deep trance experiences at making the changes you wish to make!

3: Hypnotherapy is a non-toxic Therapy

How Hypnotherapy Works ?The altered state of awareness we call “hypnosis” is safe. Kay guides you into a state of deep relaxation to slow down the self-critical part of your mind. Anyone can be hypnotized, if they so desire. Some people mistakenly assume that the hypnotic state is an unconscious one, similar to being asleep or under anesthesia. This is not true. We are always aware and conscious in this relaxed state.

Kay uses a careful and systematic approach to hypnotherapy, which releases the natural, self-healing forces deep within you. Her hypnotherapy method is more direct and powerful than other traditional treatments. Addictive, unproductive, or destructive patterns of behavior can be changed easily and quickly

What to Expect:? You establish your goals for hypnosis in the first session with Kay. After working with her for three sessions, you evaluate your progress. You may feel complete or wish to go further. Often the changes you want to make can happen within three sessions!
