HYPNOTHERAPY: "What is Hypnotherapy?" You might ask... it is a highly effective technique that tackles the subconscious mind that governs our emotional responses by inducing a very relaxed state that changes a person's filter towards ideas they will accept or not accept. For example, a person who has phobias or suffers from panic attacks or overeats is likely displaying these behaviors due to memories from their past. Their subconscious brain is creating a connection between the trauma and the present situation even though now, there is no real threat. This is due to the person's survival mechanism - his reptilian brain that interprets events incorrectly causing extreme emotional distress. This can wreak havoc in a client's life and his relationships. I help my clients discover these root causes and free them from the effects of their subconscious minds. Hypnosis can also help tap into a client's stored strengths in order to feel more empowered.
EMOTION FREEDOM TECHNIQUES: EFT/ Tapping is based on research that has demonstrated that emotion is a chemical response. It follows an energy circuit that moves between the brain and the body. For example, when a client has had a traumatic experience he will show PTSD symptoms like heart palpitations, flashbacks and nightmares. The method involves re-experiencing the event by talking about it in the safety of my comfortable office in Laguna Hills, where turquoise and blue tones create a calm and peaceful environment conducive to relaxation and healing. While talking, I create a web diagram on a white board that shows the interconnection of all the emotions related to the event. Thereafter, I use the client's own words to reflect their story and emotions back to them - while tapping on their pressure points to release the stress chemicals causing the distress. The technique interferes with the emotional energy path in the body and creates an astounding transformation for the client: The client experiences complete relief, to the point where talking, thinking or remembering the event causes no upset at all. The experience is completely freeing for the client!
EMPOWERMENT COACHING: Empowerment coaching is different from therapy as it focuses on the here and now and on solutions instead of traditional therapy that focuses o the past much more than the future. As an empowerment coach I ask my clients what they want to achieve and where they want to go. So that they can let go of their past and focus on the now and the creation of new possibilities. Through focusing on what you want , we can create a new narrative together. Your past does not have to hold you back! I will help you find your power switch to light up the possibilities and the strength you have within, to make the necessary changes that will enhance your circumstances, and bring you the most joy!
COGNITIVE THERAPY: You are what you think! Negative thinking patterns can be irrational and cause emotional distress. For example, your spouse is late from work. you think "He/she just doesn't care about me!" The more you think this, the more upset, hurt, angry and depressed you become. By the time he/ she comes home, you are either in a puddle of tears from feeling so alone, or rip roaring mad at him! I help clients analyze their irrational tendencies and create more reasonable responses based on reality rather than their fears or past experiences.
MEDITATION: I teach my clients how to use meditation in their daily lives to reduce stress, calm the body and stimulate feel good hormones that promote healing and a peaceful existence.
If you have any questions about these techniques PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me! I want to help you, I am here for you and you are not alone.
My philosophy to life is very unique: Let's just say I learned a lesson or two along my journey that brought me serenity, peace, appreciation and a zest for life and I can help you find that too. I can't wait to meet with you and teach you all I know!
My passion is meeting each client, getting to know them, hearing their stories and helping them realize that they are the only ones that have the power to take command of changing their lives. I love helping people find their personal power switch that turns on their light so they can achieve solace, serenity and solutions. It gives me so much joy when my clients are finally able to live the life they have always wanted. I love keeping in touch with them after I have helped them, hearing about their successes and newfound happiness.
