Hypnosis is a natural state that we enter all the time! Have you ever driven home and as you turned the car off, realized that you had no memory of the drive itself? That’s hypnosis!

Have you ever been performing on stage and been in such a deep state of flow that the audience seemed to disappear and your creativity was flowing? That’s also hypnosis! We are constantly moving in and out of that state of flow and focus, feeling “in the groove” in every day life.

Hypnosis is a state of being involving focused attention and deep relaxation that opens the subconscious mind up to suggestion and transformation. In a formal setting, hypnosis can be guided by a specialist to help an individual elicit deeper focus and relaxation and provide supportive, positive suggestions, imagery, and ideas to help a person reach their goal.

Our automatic functions, like habits, core beliefs, and stress-based associations, exist within the subconscious mind.

Hypnosis allows us to access and make changes in the subconscious mind more easily, which means you can harness this ability to break down your audition and performance stress, build confidence, and enhance creativity, flow, and playfulness in your creative work. You'll be able to change your brain and body's response to the stressors that naturally come along with a creative lifestyle.

What's more, recent studies are showing a strong link between visualization and acting, which indicate that imagery-based activities of any kind (such as hypnosis) may enhance acting ability. So regardless of the content of your hypnosis session, it is strengthening the same 'brain muscles' that you need for acting!

This work can also be used as a supportive tool to help you build resilience to navigate challenging characters and scenes more easily and safely by strengthening your inner resources and self-regulation tools.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll begin with a conversation about hypnosis, what you might expect to feel in the process, and we’ll chat about any questions you may have about hypnosis to make sure you feel fully comfortable.

We will then talk about your relationship with acting and the goals you'd like to achieve with this work.

From there, I’ll guide you through a personalized hypnosis experience. I’ll invite you to get comfortable, close your eyes, relax your body, and focus your attention so that you can more easily experience the guided imagery. From this place, you'll be invited to explore a series of customized mental imagery to start changing your relationship with acting and encourage your desired changes in your mind and body. I will then bring you back out of hypnosis, making sure you feel energized and alert.

After the session, we’ll leave plenty of time to chat about your experience, and discuss ways that you can utilize these tools outside of our sessions to continue to rewire your brain, and how we might move forward in future sessions together.

Hypnosis is an incredibly collaborative process, so while I'll be offering suggestions and a framework in the session, we'll work together as a team to help you cultivate experiences that effectively lead you to your goals.

The experience of hypnosis varies from person to person. While some folks remain very "conscious", others access a state of very deep relaxation, and this does not determine how effective the session will be for you. (The depth of the experience also varies from session to session).

Throughout the session, I'll offer suggestions to help you feel relaxed, energized, uplifted, and inspired.

While we may be focusing on reducing stress in your acting career, the experience of hypnosis is actually very FUN! The goal is to give your brain elevated, joyful experiences of acting. 

You may even find yourself experiencing more calm, joy, and inspiration in your daily life as a result of these sessions.

At the conclusion of every hypnosis session, I'll also provide tools to help you come back to 'wakefulness' fully, so you'll likely leave our session feeling energized.

Absolutely not! Although mainstream media tends to depict hypnosis as a manipulative, controlling technique, it is actually a very collaborative process! You may feel a deep state of relaxation and focus, and from this place I will offer suggestions and guide you through imagery to support your goals. However, they are merely suggestions – NOT commands, or "mind control". You have the ability to accept or reject any suggestion I offer, provide me with feedback and ask questions during the session, and you have full ability to conclude the hypnosis and open your eyes at any time. (Despite what movies show us, it is not possible to get “stuck” in a trance).

Like many people in the hypnosis field, I firmly believe that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning that although I offer suggestions to you, you are the one making the changes to your own mind.
