When we look to make lasting change in our lives, we often overlook the most resourceful place to find change: within ourselves. It is the most obvious and easiest place to start, but in our day and age, there seems to be a pill for everything. However, medications work for some people but not for others. Almost all drugs create unpleasant side-effects leading to secondary problems. Thus consumers, like you are becoming increasingly interested in other treatment modalities. Hypnotherapy is an adjunct modality that uses hypnosis and can be applied in conjunction with traditional treatment models.

The use of hypnosis has spanned across thousands of years but the recognition of hypnosis as a medical adjunct was brought to light by Anton Mesmer. Read our blog entry about this interesting piece of history on hypnosis.
Since the time hypnosis was 'discovered' there have been many advances made in the techniques and applications of hypnotherapy. A highly influential psychiatrist, Dr. Milton Erickson (1901 - 1980), considered to be the father of modern-day hypnosis, believed that all his patients had the full resources to create their own solutions. Over the course of his sixty-year practice he helped over 30,000 patients discover their own cures through hypnosis.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can help you discover and utilize all your resources to make lasting, profound improvements in your life. You can discover the power of suggestion to the open door to better health, well-being and opportunities. With hypnosis and hypnotherapy, a sense of control and calm can be felt as early as the first session.

Below is a list of issues for which hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective: habit change, weight loss and general self-improvement, etc.

Stop Smoking with Hypnosis Anyone who's tried to quit smoking on their own knows that it's not easy. But do you know why it's so challenging? It is because smoking is a habit that is reinforced for many years. It's something you do that is associated with so many facets of your life as soon as you get up in the morning until you go bed. The secret to breaking the habit lies in learning how to 'trick' your hardwires (your brain circuit). We'll do just that for you in one session and you wake up feeling like a new person.

Hypnosis for Weight Loss Are you focused too much on why you can't lose weight? Do you it as a pointless 'exercise'? Is it because you have been in a pattern of losing and gaining weight over and over again? Do you do really well and see yourself sliding slowing into bad eating habits? North Americians are the 'fattest' in the world. There are four times as overweight people as there are hungry people in the world! We are socialized to eat because we have food, not because we need it. Losing weight with hypnosis corrects some of those incorrect assumptions about food. Hypnotherapy also reduces and minimizes cravings for sweets, fats, and reduces your desire for overeating (portion control) and gives you back control over food. Click the pink link above!
Quit Nail Biting or Picking with Hypnosis Nail biting is a common and embarassing habit. Hypnosis has been used successfully to stop nail biting. Most people don't even know that they're biting their nails because it's become some 'unconscious'. This is exactly why hypnosis must be used to access the unconscious mind to make the change.

Everyone has already experienced hypnosis and not even know it. According to Grinder and Bandler: "you already know a great deal about hypnosis under other names, or under no name at all". Hypnosis is quite a common trance state that we all zip in and out of every 90 minutes or so. Anyone who's day-dreamed or been in a TV-trance or an elevator trance has been in hypnosis.
