How long will my session last?

An initial assessment and hypnosis session is scheduled for 3 hours. Subsequent sessions are 60-90 minutes.

How many sessions do I need or expect to have?

This depends largely on the person and the issue being addressed. At SAVE Hypnotherapy our goal is always working towards your last session. A typical hypnosis process consists of an initial session and 2 or 3 follow-up sessions. Many people achieve their goals after the initial session. Some people keep a regular appointment for ongoing support, and others see me as needed.

What to expect during a hypnosis session?

Our session usually begins with a conversation. We discuss your goal or situation, the hypnosis process, and any questions you might have.

When we use hypnosis I help you let go of physical tension and get your mind into a state similar to pre-and post-sleep, daydreaming, or meditation. Hypnosis is most often a state of intensified physical relaxation and mental focus. You remain conscious throughout the session, interacting with me during hypnosis by signaling or speaking. Hypnosis does put you to sleep, and you do not lose control or go into a frozen, cataleptic state. Many people experience some dissociation (i.e. “blanking out”) during hypnosis, but this does not hinder the process. In fact, it can enhance the effectiveness of hypnotic suggestions.

When hypnosis is concluded, it is normal to feel so relaxed that you don’t want to move. You can emerge from hypnosis slowly and gently, and you will be able to go about your day normally.

Cancellations/Missed Appointments

If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give at least 48 hours’ notice. A $100 fee will be charged for late cancellations and missed appointments. I understand that there are unexpected situations and waive the fee when there is a pressing reason.

A credit card payment is required to reserve your appointment time. Any refunds will be processed within 10 business days.

What if I can’t come to your office?

If coming into the office is not an option there are some hypnosis sessions that can be done through video call or over the phone. Please schedule a discovery call for your convenient to discuss the best option for you. Here

Scope of Practice:

As a hypnotist, my role is to help you resolve everyday problems using hypnosis. I am not a medical doctor or mental health practitioner. I do not diagnose, prescribe, treat, cure, or heal any physical, mental, or emotional illness. The physical and mental well-being of each client is my primary consideration. I recommend that you seek medical and/or professional help when appropriate. Hypnosis is not a substitute for medical treatments or medications. I will withhold non-referred hypnotic services if a client’s behavior, appearance, or statements would lead a reasonable person to believe that the client should be evaluated by a licensed health care professional, and will provide services to such clients only after evaluation and with the approval of the licensed health care professional. If you need a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, I will assist in a coordinated transfer of services to another practitioner.

Professional ethics

I am a Certified Member of the American Board of hypnotherapy and practice in accordance with its Code of Ethics and Standards. If you ever have a complaint about my services or behavior that I cannot resolve for you personally you may contact them to seek redress.

Confidentiality and Privacy

I maintain the confidentiality of all knowledge and information concerning my clients. I will not tell anyone that you are my client. I may disclose information only when required by law or when authorized by those responsible for the client’s care.
