FAQ’s

+ What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years and is a natural, trance-like state, where we can become suggestible to new ways of thinking. In its simplest form, it can simply involve creating emotion and making a suggestion. Deeper levels for hypnotherapy purposes use hypnosis relaxation techniques used by a hypnotherapist.

It may also be simpler to define hypnosis by what it can do, as it is an excellent method through which we can access our inner potential to create a positive and beneficial personal change.
