Even if you're not a Swiftie, you've probably heard that Taylor Swift recently reclaimed ownership of her masters. I've been reflecting on what a monumental achievement this is for her, and how it likely marks the end of a significant chapter in her life.
But here's the thing: even when we take powerful steps forward, the echoes of past experiences—negative memories and difficult emotions—can still shape our lives in unexpected ways. Of course, Taylor is a real person, and we truly don’t know much about her private life, no matter how familiar her lyrics may feel. But if she ever came to me for IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy), here are some areas I imagine might be worth exploring: Negative Memories
Difficult Emotions While I can't speak for her, I know her lyrics well enough to guess that emotions like sadness, anger, and regret might be central. “And my words shoot to kill when I’m mad / I have a lot of regrets about that.” — Taylor Swift, “This is Me Trying” These aren’t just lines in a song—they hint at real emotional depth that many of us can relate to. Identities of Other People In IEMT, many people find it helpful to examine the impact of specific individuals in their past—parents, exes, authority figures. In Taylor’s case, I’d likely suggest exploring the identities of people involved in the original sale of her music, as well as any emotionally charged relationships tied to power, betrayal, or trust. Labels, Nicknames & Limiting Beliefs It’s common for people to carry around internalized labels and nicknames—often unconsciously—that shape their behavior or self-worth. Things like:
“Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless / Excellent fun 'til you get to know her / Then she runs like it’s a race... / They nicknamed her ‘The Bolter.’” — Taylor Swift, “The Bolter” Lines like these show how deeply labels can cut—and how healing it can be to challenge them. Limiting Beliefs These can stem from early experiences, and shape how we see ourselves and our potential. Common ones include:
IEMT is all about exploring the root causes of these beliefs. When you begin to unpack the memories, emotions, and people that shaped your inner world, the insights can be transformative. Even icons like Taylor Swift have emotional landscapes shaped by past experiences. And while we might not know the full story, her journey offers a powerful reminder: healing isn’t just about moving forward—it’s about acknowledging what you’re carrying with you. If you’re ready to unpack some of your own baggage, IEMT can be a meaningful place to start.

If I were choosing a hypnotist, here’s what I’d want to know before booking a session.
1. Real Training (Not a Weekend Course) Hypnosis is powerful. But I wouldn’t want someone with just a weekend certificate guiding my subconscious. I trained at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only nationally accredited hypnotherapy school in the U.S. I’ve completed over 300 hours of training—plus continuing education ever since. 2. Experience with Your Issue Hypnosis isn’t one-size-fits-all. Sure, you can be hypnotized for almost anything. But for the best results, find someone who specializes in what you’re working on. In my practice, I focus on:
3. An Integrative Approach “Integrative hypnotherapy” means I pull from more than one tool to help you get results faster. You’re here to make a real change—and I meet you there. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate:
4. Honesty Over Hype If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Yes, hypnotherapy works. No, it’s not magic. Some folks see big shifts quickly. Others need more time—and that’s okay. I’m not into locking you into 12 sessions just to “guarantee” results. Your goals, your pace, your budget. 5. Clear Pricing & Real Talk When you're ready to invest in yourself, you deserve clear info on what that investment looks like. Ask questions. Get honest answers. I’ll always tell you what’s realistic—and what’s not—based on my experience with clients like you. Bonus Tip: Book a Free Consult Nothing beats talking to a real human. I still remember my free consultation with my hypnotherapist. Just chatting with her made me feel lighter. Four years later, she’s still in my corner—helping me through everything from test anxiety to relationship shifts. That first connection mattered. Yours will too. Ready to Start? Let’s see if we’re a good fit. Book a free consultation here and bring your questions. Recently, I took a trip to Boston and visited the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for the first time.. What stayed with me long after I left was a powerful exhibit titled Waters of the Abyss by Fabiola Jean-Louis, a multidisciplinary Haitian artist and the Museum's Artist-in-Residence for 2022 and 2024. One piece in particular captivated me—not only for its visual power but for the truth it revealed.
"The only way to get to that other place is to look at yourself, is to go through yourself."
That line resonated with me. We all long to be somewhere else emotionally—more peaceful, happier, freer—but the path forward isn’t out there. It’s inside us. In my work with hypnosis, I often see people begin their healing journey focused on what they want to escape—"I don’t want to feel this way anymore," or "I hate smoking," or "I just want this pain to stop." And I joke, gently, “You don’t need to pay for hypnosis to get more of what you already don’t want.” The real shift begins when we ask a much more powerful question: What do I want instead? What do I want to feel, to experience, to become? That question isn’t always easy. It requires honesty. Vulnerability. And a willingness to look inward. It sounds simple, but for many people, it’s startlingly difficult to answer. We’re so used to defining ourselves by our problems, by what we lack, or what hurts. It's easier to live in the shadows of our circumstances than to turn toward the light of possibility. We live in a world that often pulls us into blame, negativity, or feeling stuck. It’s easy to feel like life is happening to us. But there’s a deeper truth: sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t changing our circumstances—it’s changing ourselves. To get to that brighter, freer place, we must walk through what’s uncomfortable. Not just around it. Not above it. Through it. Through ourselves. That means sitting with the stories we tell ourselves. Unpacking the beliefs that no longer serve us. Looking at the hurts we've buried, the habits we’ve normalized, and the thought loops we've unknowingly rehearsed for years. Many of those loops come from early life. Criticism. Rejection. Fear. Over time, they evolve into automatic negative thoughts that guide our inner dialogue. These patterns: catastrophizing, harsh self-criticism, overgeneralizing, can create mental fog, emotional stress, and even physical tension. When we hold onto pain, trauma, or limiting beliefs, they become part of our inner operating system. They run on autopilot, shaping how we see ourselves and the world. Your subconscious mind is incredibly powerful—but not creative. It doesn’t invent; it simply repeats. Like a playlist on repeat, it keeps playing the same old tracks until you decide to change the music. Negative thought patterns like catastrophizing, harsh self-talk, or assuming the worst don’t just affect how you think. They weigh on your heart. Your body. Your spirit. But change is possible. That’s where hypnosis comes in. When we work with the subconscious mind, we can start rewriting those mental scripts. We can plant new seeds of thought. We can water self-belief, confidence, and clarity—allowing something beautiful to grow where fear and doubt once lived. Think of your mind as a garden. Left unattended, weeds grow. But with care, with intention, you can cultivate thoughts that uplift you. You can become your own beacon of hope. Even in difficult times. Especially in difficult times. So, where might your own self-reflection lead you? Maybe somewhere closer to the life you’ve always imagined. Fear has a way of taking root in our minds and bodies, often long after the original trigger is gone. Whether it's fear of flying, public speaking, driving, or even relationships, many people find themselves caught in a cycle of fear they can't seem to break—even when they logically know it's irrational. This is where Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) offers a powerful, gentle solution. Fear often leaves a lasting imprint, creating a strong emotional response to triggers. IEMT works by interrupting these emotional patterns at their root. When we access the neurological pattern linked to a fearful memory and apply targeted eye movements, the emotional charge weakens or dissolves. A client story: fear of horseback riding After a near-fatal accident, a client came to me wanting to overcome the fear and anxiety she felt when riding horses. She no longer enjoyed riding, even though she worked with horses every day. We had four sessions of IEMT to process through the negative memories of the accident, the helicopter ride to the hospital, hospital stay, and the emotions surrounding the accident and recovery experience. She now enjoys riding, has her confidence back, and no longer has so much anxiety surrounding riding (although as she puts it, a reasonable amount of fear is a good thing - because horses can be unpredictable!) Fear doesn’t have to define your choices.
It's possible to rewrite your emotional responses and reclaim the freedom you deserve. If there's an area of your life you no longer enjoy, you may be able to get back to the things you love. Contact me to explore the possibilites! IEMT is a rapid change therapy that helps people overcome emotional distress by working with eye movements and memory recall. Unlike traditional talk therapy, IEMT doesn’t require you to relive traumatic events in detail. Instead, it works directly with how the brain stores emotional memories. How IEMT Works:
✅ Anxiety & PTSD ✅ Negative Self-Image ✅ Unwanted Emotional Triggers ✅ Limiting Beliefs By disconnecting the emotional charge from past experiences, IEMT helps individuals feel emotionally lighter and more in control of their present.  Are You Stuck in the Past? Many of us carry emotional baggage—painful memories, regrets, or limiting beliefs that keep us from fully embracing the present. Whether it’s past trauma, unhealthy relationships, or negative self-perceptions, these mental blocks can make moving forward feel impossible. The good news? You don’t have to stay trapped in old patterns. Both Hypnosis and Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) offer powerful ways to release emotional pain, reframe past experiences, and step confidently into a brighter future. Your subconscious mind stores every experience you've ever had. Some of these memories may carry emotional weight, influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and even your physical well-being.
 Your subconscious mind operates based on deeply ingrained patterns. If you’ve struggled with unhealthy habits, it’s likely because your brain has been conditioned to seek comfort in those behaviors. Hypnosis helps to override these old patterns and replace them with new, positive ones.
