5 Things I’d Look for in a Hypnotherapist

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:

• Hypnosis for anxiety
• Trauma recovery
  
• Fears and phobias
  
• Habit change (like nail biting, procrastination, or quitting smoking)
  

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:

• Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT)
  
• Coaching strategies
• Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
  

These extra tools can support deeper, lasting breakthroughs.

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.
