Hypnosis has been used in Western medicine for more than 150 years to treat everything from anxiety to pain, from easing the nausea of cancer chemotherapy to enhancing sports performance. Applications include treatment of phobias, panic, low self-esteem, insomnia, stress, and headaches.

General Fears
Hypnosis works by targeting negative thoughts and emotions in relation to a fear whether those memories are repressed or remembered. Also, hypnosis is natural with no side effects and eliminates the symptoms of the fear quickly. Eliminating fears can have a positive impact on many lives.

Sleep Improvement
Hypnosis can help re-educate the mind when it comes to sleep improvement. When you go to sleep expecting a relaxing night and good dreams, it is more than likely that you will get them. Because insomnia is often caused by stress, hypnosis can be used to learn relaxation techniques, and to train the mind to slow down when your body is getting ready for sleeping. Hypnosis is especially useful if insomnia is caused by a "racing mind" or excessive emotional or mental arousal, where the mind simply cannot stop rushing through different subjects and trains of thought.
"Last September, I had much on my plate. I was dealing with my Mom's medical issues, trying to plan her 100th birthday party, while being in charge of my first fund raiser. I was feeling very stressed, to say the least. I was not sleeping well, my blood pressure was sky high, and it felt like I was going a hundred miles an hour. The day before my Mom's party, I met with Val for an hour. I walked out of our session a lot more relaxed then when I walked in. I practiced some of what she taught me at home. It helped some. It wasn't until I had a few more sessions with her that I found myself sleeping through the night. I was able to really put into practice what she taught me " ~Brenda N

Fear of Public Speaking
Hypnosis can help with building up your confidence, helping you to remain calm and relaxed. You can learn how to recognize your body's unique reaction to stress and anxiety and to develop new healthy and positive ways of thinking and feeling. Deep relaxation techniques used in hypnosis help you to focus inwards and start to build your feeling of confidence, calm and self-belief.
In hypnosis you may use visualization techniques, using the power of your imagination to rehearse or practice a speech or presentation in your mind. By doing so you will have already experienced the feeling of delivering a great performance, and your mind has been pre-programmed for success. With your feelings of confidence and control restored, public speaking can be approached with a new level of calmness and assurance.
Sports Performance
With hypnosis, you’ll benefit from fine tuning in whatever sport you compete in – so that you can strive further, while being supported by tip top physical, mental and emotional health. You’ll learn how to develop and maintain the right attitude, so that your mind doesn’t give up at the first hurdle. Your brain will be trained to persevere and not give up, even in the face of adversity.

Chemotherapy
"Hypnosis can be used to blunt the awareness of pain, to substitute another feeling for the pain, or to change the feeling to one that’s less painful." ~(American Cancer Institute)
With a cancer diagnosis, the fear of the unknown begins to take over, both for the patient and the family. This alone can contribute to an enormous level of anxiety and worry on top of the normal stresses of day-to-day life. Many times, if you're facing the prospect of aggressive medical treatment protocols, you will feel a sense of helplessness and a loss of control over your own life. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for creating new, more effective coping mechanisms to manage these stresses with a sense of control while in the healing process. From the pain of surgical recovery to the resulting nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite from chemotherapy, modern medical research is beginning to uncover the advantages and effectiveness of hypnosis as a tool in managing these issues.
