I teach how to move from pain to purpose.

It’s simple with Somatic Hypnosis.


Hi there! I am a Board-Certified Master Hypnotist based in Nashville, TN, and a proud member of Nashville’s prominent holistic practitioner’s group, The Lotus Center. And I’m here to help.

I focus on strengthening my clients’ body/mind connection with Somatic Hypnosis and Neuro-Lingustic Programming, and I work with a huge range of clients from across the world. From clients with medical issues* who would like tools to deal with pain (or to gain insight on their condition), to professional athletes who’d like to naturally boost performance, to corporate leaders who need to tackle anxiety and reconnect with joy again - my door is open.

So What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is the art of getting real results from imaginary events. Sounds kinda ‘out there’, no? However, the imagination is the language of our subconscious - which controls all of the body’s autonomic systems. All personal change - physical, emotional and life-style - begin with the subconscious mind.

The subconscious acts like a computer, ready and waiting to receive code from the conscious mind. And if you know the code, you can take control. 

Hypnosis puts the code, or the controller, if you will, into your hands. It provides a method of communicating with your body in a way that it understands - and the process is simple.

Whether in-person or on Zoom, you’ll first be lead through relaxation techniques to allow your brainwaves to slow into the Alpha state (7.5-14Hz), which is the optimal speed to allow you to better access your imagination and memories, and is connected to greater learning and concentration (this is a natural state that we slip into multiple times a day when we daydream or ‘zone out’).

Then through guided imagery, visualizations and neuro-lingustic programming techniques, I facilitate a journey in which your subconscious mind can resolve conflicts, provide insight, and lock onto tools to get you were you want to go.

I teach clients self-hypnosis so you can then use these tools out in the ‘real world’. And, as with every new skill, the more you do it, the more success you will have. That’s why I offer 3, 8 and 12-week programs - to help you reinforce and cement the change you desire. Can you do it on your own? Absolutely! But if you’d like to do it faster and more efficiently (and have more fun!), we can do the work together.
