What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis may help you achieve a focused state of mind by encouraging the rational, and critical mind to temporarily relax. This creates a highly suggestable condition in which positive suggestions can have a powerful effect.
Hypnotherapy is a professional occupation by the U.S. Dictionary of Occupational Titles utilizing hypnosis to help clients achieve specific goals such as a healthier lifestyle. Hypnotherapy is a much faster and more direct method for achieving objectives than some other forms of therapy.
Transformational hypnosis means to change a negative feeling or response to a more positive feeling and belief. It helps us to recognize and accept the different and often opposing aspects of our personalities, such as the “inner child” and the “inner judge.” Conflicts between sub-personalities account for many of our difficulties and problems. Once we resolve these conflicts by enabling us to achieve the highest levels of wellness and creativity.
The transformational process combines the spiritual and humanistic perspective of the process with the practical, results-oriented methods of hypnotherapy. It allows a client to achieve meaningful changes easily and takes hypnotherapy beyond “symptom removal.” It involves using NO drugs or chemicals.
The client feels more empowered and the suggestions that are used comes from the inner guidance of the client which are more personally appropriate and are less likely to be met with resistance than in other forms of hypnotherapy. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and this form is the avenue of bring the client back in the “here and now” and not staying stuck in limiting beliefs and thoughts. In other words, “IT’S A WAKE-UP PROCESS and TRANSFORMATIONAL EMPOWERMENT.”
When I am hypnotized, will I lose control of myself?
ABSLOUTLY not! While in a hypnotic state you will gain greater control of yourself. The reason you accept and follow a hypnotic suggestion is because the suggestions are in alignment with what YOU want and have shared with your hypnotherapist. The law of self-preservation will not allow you to accept a harmful suggestion.
When I’m in trance will you make me cluck like a chicken, or bark like a dog?
NO! you will not do anything you do not think is acceptable. You cannot be made to do anything to violate your own values. It is your choice to leave the trance state at any time. If you were ever left in a trance state, you would either return to full consciousness on your own or enter a natural state of natural sleep.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes, if they want to be! We live a lot of our daily lives in a hypnotic state. Hypnosis is designed to de-hypnotize you. Basically, WAKEUP and clear the old “tapes” that have been playing over and over in our head.

I studied hypnosis under Sue for 9 years, both as a student and assistant. Sue is an extremely gifted instructor and practitioner of hypnosis. Her classes are informative and life changing as well as an experience you will not soon forget. I highly recommend learning under Sue.
The hypnotherapy training, I received with Sue was the most transformational experience of my life. It started me on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Twenty years later, I am still evolving and hope to continue this journey until the day I leave the planet. The classroom was warm, welcoming, and nurturing. I felt extremely supported by the instructors and students. This program is life changing. I would recommend the training to anyone who truly wants transformation.
I received the benefit of personal growth and development by attending hypnotherapy school. I had very supportive teachers. Not only did I meet new people, but most importantly I was introduced to the inner me. By allowing myself to let go of old patterns and behaviors I became more aware of who I am, as a human being. You learn to peel the onion back and get down to the core of who you really are. Not only do you receive the personal benefits from the education, but you can also receive the benefits of a potential career opportunity. Hypnotherapy is a life-changing experience.

Sue is an amazing Hypnotherapist and I have learned so much from her that I have been able to apply to my own private practice. She is very compassionate, understanding, and non-judgmental. She is always in a good mood and is very warm and bubbly. I have gained knowledge about inner child work and the codependency triangle. It seems like she has a solution for any problem you can think of. She is constantly working to improve her practice. She is definitely one of the best therapists I have ever met. I am looking forward to continuing learning from her and being a student at her school. Highly recommended!!!
