My Journey with Hypnosis

So how’d I come to discover hypnosis? After a harrowing car accident when I was 19 when I lived in New Mexico. I was referred to a clinical hypnotist to help with driving anxiety by my lawyer, and that very first session immediately dissipated all my driving fears - I was blown away by how simple, quick and effective hypnosis was - especially when I came into the office not even thinking hypnosis was “real”.

Fast forward a few years to Ottawa, Ontario, where I settled down with my husband. I came back to hypnosis as I was focused on having a drug-free birth and thought hypnosis may help - and it absolutely did. My first child was born after 29 hours of labour (with 4.5 hours of active pushing with no epidural), and my Obstetrician said she had never in her  20+ years in the labour ward "seen a woman so in control during the birthing process" (and she wanted to put pamphlets in her office). It was proof to her, and confirmed my knowledge (which is backed by over 20,000 credible studies) that hypnosis works.

I spent many years after in self-study, leading my friends on group journeys and informally teaching hypnosis when I had the chance. I also spent years volunteering in the community while raising our children. I served as a Special Education Advocate within the school board, volunteered significantly with the Girl Guides of Canada, held multiple positions with a local community radio station, and often worked as a production assistant for various blues festivals and societies throughout North America. I eventually caught on that I have ADHD (I just thought I liked to stay busy! And I just didn’t have time to clean… or close drawers… or just hadn’t found an organization system that worked for me yet…). However once diagnosed, I latched on to some ADHD tools that my hypnosis skills helped immensely with.

And so finally in 2018 I took the dive into my formal training with Hypnosis, as I knew this is exactly how I wanted to help moving forward. I sought out the best training in North America and became a Board Certified Hypnosis Practitioner.

After moving to Nashville, TN to help out family, I joined The Lotus Center, a prominent collective of psychologists, physical therapists, and holistic practitioners in the fall of 2022, where I hold my office hours.

And I am loving life in this exciting city of Nashville! As is our two teenagers, two cats, one very old Boxer and a neighborhood chicken that loves to visit and goes by the name of “Chicken Anne”.
