Introduction: Would you like to resolve belief systems that are keeping you stuck in undesirable patterns and behaviors inhibiting your personal power? The essence of my hypnotherapy practice is about helping clients liberate themselves from negative patterns and limiting beliefs so that they may live full and joyous lives through aligning with their authentic selves. Perhaps one of the most distinctive aspects of my practice involves using hypnotherapy as a means to explore sex-negative beliefs as well as other facets of the sexual spectrum. This is one way my practice differs from those of other hypnotherapists. With the emergence of the #Me Too movement, issues of sexual violation and consent are much more out in the open. I have an extensive background in sex-positive advocacy and education. I have found that the root cause of many sexual issues, including trauma, unconscious “acting out,” guilt and shame, can successfully be explored through hypnotherapy. Our work together will provide a private, non-judgmental environment to explore your deepest sexual concerns and questions. My scope of practice covers many other issues such as: • Conquering self-defeating habits • Managing Anxiety and stress • Inner child work • Breaking free of past restraints and limiting beliefs • Resolving past trauma • Working with transgendered individuals • Sexual performance concerns • Spiritual/transpersonal explorations • Focused chakra energy work For those called to transpersonal journeys, such as spiritual emergence, death, dying, grief, loss and past life regression, hypnotherapy offers a more direct pathway beyond the limitations of our cognitive and verbal processes. These issues, at the core of human experience, are often best addressed at the deepest, experiential level. I define all therapeutic work at its heart as “soul healing.” “Psyche” means “soul” in Greek. Though many different routes to healing exist, the purpose of all work is the same. As we work together, you will learn to recognize and trust your own authentic self, discovering and accessing powerful resources you already possess. For information about the types of issues I don’t work with, please see FAQ. NOTE re: Covid-19: I have openings for video or phone app'ts and am honored to support you during this time of uncertainty. Take good care and be well!

I came to my first experience of hypnosis from what is perhaps an unusual upbringing. There were layers of complexity, trauma and inner conflict involving my family background, the religious teachings of my father and the direction my life was taking personally and professionally. This was particularly around my authentic sexuality (I identify as a lesbian). I had been contemplating using hypnosis but I had not yet found a situation or a practitioner in which I felt open to trying it. Turning my state of consciousness over to the direction of another was a little scary for me. In my father’s belief system, hypnosis was the tool of the devil! I felt an immediate connection with Kaia and sensed that she would create a safe container whereby I could begin exploring my issues through hypnotherapy. Moving into trance, I experienced a powerful vision in which two power animals came to me. They had been waiting for me to give them space and voice so they could offer clarity about how to face my fears, make peace with myself and move forward. Kaia guided this session beautifully and a kaleidoscope of knowings spilled into me. Missing pieces began to emerge. Strength flowed into me. I felt transformed and able to more fully address my lingering doubts about my direction, and solid confidence in my choices. Since that first session, the work has continued with Kaia and evolved. My spirituality and sexuality have become aligned. I am learning how to integrate what I experienced in hypnosis into my day-to-day life. Hypnosis has supported me to know myself on a very deep level. WK

As a caregiver of long experience, I care for people with dementia and end-of-life issues. I help families understand what the client is going through and what kind of help they need. Suddenly my best friend had a massive stroke affecting both sides of her brain. She was in a coma for 10 days. When she regained consciousness she was sent to rehab and declared to be “failing to progress.” I brought her home and after three months of constant attendance she was stabilizing. I was exhausted physically, mentally and emotionally. I turned to Kaia when I was about to go into a meeting with my friend’s soon-to-be-ex-husband. The relationships were complicated. I had opinions about her needs and my own that I had to communicate. I had been at odds with her husband’s decisions. The meeting called for all my skills as a patient advocate at a time that stretched those skills to their limit. This was a woman I loved. My ability to be professional while my personal heart was involved was greatly challenged. Kaia opened my session with EFT. I was so stressed that I couldn't tap on the points myself so she did it for me. Through this I experienced an opening and "pouring out" of pain and exhaustion. Suddenly calm settled over me. I hurt, was still bone tired but I felt peaceful. During hypnosis, I found that I could contemplate my concerns and feelings with calm neutral energy. The outcome was that I was able to share my truth without my exhausted reactivity getting in the way. Communication flowed and things came out better than I would have thought possible. I strongly credit the EFT and hypnosis for this stellar success. MKW

I had gone through an ugly, expensive lawsuit to protect a musical copyright that had been infringed upon. Ultimately I had to let the lawsuit go, which impacted me financially, emotionally and creatively. Afterwards, I was shell-shocked and disillusioned which took the joy out of my life specifically in the area of creating music. My spirit was broken and I could not seem to fix it. I had never before experienced hypnosis. I came to it guarded but willing to try. Kaia was compassionate and patient in helping me identify the problems, As I relaxed into a dreamlike state she asked questions about where I was going, what I was feeling, and what I was seeing. Soon I just allowed myself to let go, moving into trust, going with the flow. I soon found myself before a locked portal. Behind were a series of other doors, all encased in Gothic arches with sacred energy, glowing with golden light. But I couldn’t enter because it was locked. It could not be forced open, and though I could see what lay behind it, I could not go around it either. Though this was frustrating, I began to realize that those cherished places were at least still there… I just had to find a key, though that would require work, time or whatever. Post-hypnotherapy, I continue to process. Taking heart, I now find I am achieving what I set out to do in that session: to reclaim those lost, battered parts of me, returning to my musical roots and moving on. My session was a cleansing, enlightening experience. I got tangible results upon which to build. UPDATE: The album in question is now up on Amazon and other sites. I continue selling my album and have just released a new one this year. The hypnotherapy was a significant step towards this outcome.

I went into the hypno session during a tumultuous time in my life. I had just separated from my husband and then sold the house we had lived in. I was stepping into the complete unknown, looking for a new direction. During the HT, I was having trouble concentrating when Kaia asked me if I would like to try some guided chakra work so I could become more focused. I’d never heard of “chakra work”, but I agreed, and it was the chakra work that brought me back to my body awareness, helping me calm down and become more grounded. Then I was able to connect with my inner guides and my energy shifted. I recalled a time when my inner strength arose during another difficult time in my life and the hypnosis enabled me to reconnect with that part of myself. My focus sharpened. I became clearer about what I wanted and created a plan to accomplish it. Six months later I had decided solidly on a path and plan for what was next in my life and was poised to start anew.

I was able to work on deep blocks. I did not expect the results with my PTSD, and, I now can receive calls from Area codes I could not. It has been a couple years and I am ready to go back again for more work.

Interactive Hypnotherapy's reply

The focus of this individual’s HT involved the breakup of her marriage. The relationship had become so toxic that she was too triggered to answer phone calls from the area code where her ex still lived. After HT, she was able establish the ability to communicate effectively with her ex without the triggers and to move on.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
IMy regular rates are: • The initial conversation, lasting from 10—15 minutes is free. • The intake session (talk only) lasts for one hour and my fee for that is $80. • Hypnotherapy sessions typically last from 75 up to 90 minutes and my fee for that is $130. • I do require advance payment for video conferencing sessions. This also secures your appointment. • I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. • Payments are made through Square or Pay Pal. • Video conferencing is done via Zoom. I reserve a portion of my practice for people who can’t afford full fee. I call it my “low fee clinic” and my intention in offering this option is to provide hypnotherapy sessions to underserved individuals and communities. My low fee clinic rates are: • One-hour intake session (talk only): $50. • Hypnotherapy sessions, lasting from 75 up to 90 minutes: $70. • Other info: I am not currently able to accept insurance as a payment option.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our initial phone conversation is free and lasts about 10—15 minutes. During our talk we discuss what you're looking for and whether or not what I offer as a hypnotherapist is in alignment with that. Assuming we move forward, the next step is an intake session. This online or telephone talk session lasts an hour. It is a chance for me to learn more about you and do a more thorough assessment as well as for me to answer any questions you may have about the way I work. After that, it is pretty individual, based on your need and what we establish you are hoping to accomplish. We don't move forward with the trance work (hypnotherapy) until you're ready and comfortable. Creating a foundation of trust and readiness before moving into the actual hypnosis is key.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my certification as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHT) in 2014 at the HCH Institute located in Layfayette, CA, and have also completed advanced training in Past Life Regression (from the same Institute.) I incorporate chakra work, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) as complementary tools to hypnotherapy, or as modalities in themselves. Being well versed in 12-Step work I offer a deeper understanding of those program tools in conjunction with hypnotherapy for clients needing support to maintain their sobriety. I have been an educator and sex-positive advocate for 43 years and an active member of the sex-positive community in San Francisco. Additionally, I have taught multiple classes in various aspects of human sexuality, its variants, and have been a guest instructor/presenter at San Francisco State University. Currently, I am part of a teaching team offering a series of classes in San Francisco called “Navigating Consent”, the brainchild of psychotherapist and author, Dossie Easton.
