History
My business opened its doors in Santa Cruz almost a decade ago. It began with a focus on allergies and IBS while it researched the effects of hypnotherapy on multiple sclerosis. It has developed into a full time practice specializing in using medical hypnotherapy for chronic disease. I have been teaching counselors, hypnotherapists, and NLP practitioners this alternative medical modality -medical hypnotherapy - since 2017.
Specialties
I help my clients work with the mind-body connection to assist in healing physical disease. As a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and medical hypnotist with studies in Health Psychology, I help people heal by addressing what usually gets ignored in healthcare - their lives (stressors, relationships, traumas, conflicts, coping). My whole career has been focused on understanding and working with the connection between the mind and the body. I discovered, early on in my training, that the mind has a powerful influence on our immune system and our health. Not only is the mind a contributor to physical disease; it can also lead the body back into health. I specialize in autoimmune disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure, and chronic pain. I also work extensively with chronic anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
