My professional journey began over 27 years ago as a Mental Health Specialist at a psychiatric hospital, evolving into a successful hypnotherapy practice that has helped thousands of people overcome personal challenges. I hold a Diploma in Hypnotherapy from HMI College of Hypnotherapy, a Wellness Counseling Certificate from Cornell University, and a Specialization in Integrative Health and Medicine from the University of Minnesota. What sets my practice apart is the use of pioneering techniques that push the boundaries of traditional hypnosis. Through my award-winning book "The Magic in Metaphor," I've demonstrated how storytelling creates profound emotional shifts, using carefully crafted metaphors to help children reframe challenges and discover new perspectives. I've also produced a unique approach to suggestion delivery through "Close Your Eyes," a collection of sleep music that weaves hypnotic suggestions into lo-fi compositions. Most significantly, I've developed Placebo-Enhanced Hypnotic Intervention™, my signature method that harnesses the scientifically-proven power of the placebo effect to amplify hypnotic outcomes, essentially helping clients activate their own "internal pharmacy" for healing and change. These innovative approaches reflect my commitment to evolving hypnotherapy by combining evidence-based science with creative techniques. Through Zoom for Healthcare, I work with clients nationwide—without losing the human connection that makes hypnosis so effective. My extensive client feedback, documented case studies, and reputation among healthcare workers have established me as a trusted and sought-after professional.
