FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
30 on the 30th Discount. Every month, any service is $30 a session if scheduled on the 30th of the month (up to 1 hour, for the first 3 clients). As a general rule, I offer many multi-session packages and different prices for different kinds of hypnotherapy and life coaching. Generally the first hour is the regular hourly fee and the others are each $25 off. I am happy to provide you with more information during your FREE consultation. I also work with clients to create pay plans upon request.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally, we start with a free consultation over the phone, text messages or emails. Then clients usually like to do the intake form and assessments electronically so we can get right to the interview when we start the session. The first session includes introduction, background, a time for questions and answers and a taste of hypnosis. If this is a substance-free session, clients may choose a bit of education about the effects of the substance and the benefits of quitting. The next step is the interview and behavioral analysis which is the method I use to customize your hypnosis/life coaching. At this time, I may use some relaxation tools, Reiki, NLP for clarification or to create rapid change. The work is client-centered, so the hypnotherapy skills which I apply depends on the needs and goals of each client. When we are ready, we begin the hypnosis followed by 5 to 15 minutes of debriefing, depending on the type of hypnosis. The first session can last up to 2 hours.
