What is Suggestion Therapy®?
Suggestion Therapy® is a non evasive form of NLP and Hypnotherapy using precise suggestions, pre-approved by you. This engages the dominant, unconscious part of your mind to make the permanent changes you are seeking.
What is Guided Imagery?
Guided Imagery is a guided visualization technique which is wonderfully transforming for the subconscious mind, the conscious mind and the body.
It is a two-way communication between the individual and their brain and a process in which the subconscious mind is directed and guided to create the desired outcomes.
Guided Imagery uses all of the body’s senses of smell, taste, healing, sight, touch and thought, to supercharge the effect.
What is NLP?
Neuro Linguistic Programing:
Think of NLP as Symbolic Logic, similar to the language of a computer. Those series of zeros and ones all symbolize meaning to the computer. It is the language it understands. NLP is communicating directly to the unconscious through the language that it understands; as you speak to another person in your language anf the other person understands what you are communicating to them and vice versa.
I like to refer to NLP as re-programming an unwanted/undesired behavior or pattern to a desired/wanted behavior. These are cutting edge techniques which can produce incredible results.
Neuro refers to our experiences which are processed in our nervous systems and mind through the five senses:
Visual, (sight), Auditory (hearing), Kinesthetic (feeling), Olfactory (our sense of smell) and Gustatory (taste). My opinion is that this includes our sixth sense of intuition, as well.
Linguistic is how our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning through our language and non- verbal communications:
Pictures, Sounds, Feelings, Tastes, Smells, Words (our Self -Talk, what we say to ourselves through our thinking, feeling and actual self -talk). This includes all that we communicate consciously and unconsciously.
Programming is how components of a system are organized to create patterns of activity and/or behaviors. In other words our habits and behavioral patterns that have become second nature to us.
It is our ability to discover and utilize the programs that we run, our internal dialog within our neurological systems to achieve our specific and desired outcomes.
This is powerful set of techniques that dissolve blocks and makes changes in behavior patterns and habits, easily and quickly.
It utilizes our senses and language to connect with the unconscious mind, making the desired changes in the files stored in the unconscious mind.
What is EFT?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (R)
It is the stimulation of certain meridian points, with tapping on these areas with the finger tips often causing unbelievable relief from emotional and physical issues. It works because negative emotions are due to an eruption in the body’s energy system….the meridian field. Emotional stress and issues can show up as pain, disease and physical issues. EFT is often a very valuable tool in removing these issues.
These techniques are cutting edge and can have amazing and astonishing results.

What is Hypnosis?
All hypnosis is self hypnosis. As a Hypnotherapist I am the facilitator. You are never unconscious or out of control. You could not do or say anything under hypnosis that is in conflict with your personal beliefs, standards, or moral code.
With Hypnosis the subconscious mind is accessible and very open to direct therapeutic changes. When hypnotized you are very relaxed, however, continue to be mentally alert, extremely aware and in complete control.
Hypnosis is a deep state of calmness and relaxation. It is a procedure in which a person (with their permission) is put into a deep and very relaxed state. It can be used to relieve pain, answer psychological questions, replace undesirable habits with desired new patterns of behavior and much more.
The conscious area of the mind is approx 5 -12% of the mind. 88 – 95% of the mind in unconscious. The remaining 88 – 95%, the unconscious mind, is the majority of the controlling part of the mind. With Hypnosis changes come much easier and can be permanent.
Some estimates are that the conscious area of the mind is only 1% of the entire mind and the unconscious is closer to 99% of the mind.
As a Hypnotherapist, my first priority is your safety and comfort.
The UNconscious Mind
. acts as a highly moral being
. reasons
. runs the body
. follows instructions from the conscious mind
. functions in the NOW only
. stores and organizes all memory and learning
. can process up to 4 BILLION bits of information per second
. responds to metaphor and symbols
. takes language literally and personally
. follows the path of least resistance and responds to habit.
. determines if you feel pain or not
The Conscious Mind
. thinks abstractly
. judges
. sets outcomes and goals
. is bound to the idea of past and future
. has short term memory
. can process only 5-7 bits of data per second
It and body are hit with approx. 2 million
bits of data/stimuli per second.
The rest is rejected by conscious mind.
What is Ericksonion?
This is intuitive hypnotherapy utilizing one’s higher self to give answers that are within the files inside one’s mind. It is a non-evasive, clear and concise method to obtain information for desired changes.
The results are amazing. This hypnotherapy also uses more of what it is called indirect suggestions. Indirect suggestions are more easily accepted because they are often not recognized as suggestions by the conscious mind. This is easily accomplished through stories or metaphors.
** In your Guided Imagery, Suggestion TherapyTM or Hypnotherapy session, you receive a personalized CD to take your personal support home with you.
As you continue to listen to your personal CD while you sleep, your subconscious mind continues to release unwanted behaviors and replaces old worn out habits with new and more productive behaviors.
What is Matrix Energetics?
It starts with a gentle light touch and the power of focused intent and builds into a new and joy-filled state that can affect life changes.
Matrix Energetics sometimes appears magical in its expression but is based on the laws and expression of subtle energy physics and the concepts and laws of quantum physics, superstring theory and Sheldrake’s Morphic Resonance. Often you will see and feel a wave like motion when Matrix Energetics is applied, as the person being worked on experiences a smooth wave of transformation and the body seems to drop in a completely relaxed wave instantly. This can happen standing up, sitting down or laying on a table. The participants are taught specific methods of using a powerful, focused intent, This is combined with application of a light touch method for identifying the parts of the body where the Matrix Energetics “wave” will yield optimum results. What seems to be happening is that the unconsciousness and the biological physical fields are interacting.

What is Reiki?
Pronounced Ray Key, is a combination of two Japanese words rei and ki meaning universal life energy. Reiki is an ancient laying-on of hands healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. This healing art is an effective delivery system. The Reiki practitioner serves as a vessel that supplies healing energies where they are most needed. Reiki’s ki-energies flow out of the practitioner’s body through the palms of the hands while they are touching the recipient’s body.

What are Chakras?
Chakras are energy centers along the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull.
Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of biophysical energy or prana of the human body. Shumsky states that “prana is the basic component of your subtle body, your energy field, and the entire chakra system…the key to life and source of energy in the universe.
