FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
FIRST, MY USUAL FEES: • My usual fee is $177 per private, adult-length session. I conduct most adult sessions remotely by phone (most typically) or by secure video chat through FaceTime or Zoom (zoom.us) when the data connection is strong enough. • For most children before puberty, I charge $107 per 40-60 minute session. Young children must have their sessions in person. Older children with good attention spans can do their sessions with me remotely by secure video chat (FaceTime or Zoom). PLEASE NOTE: In all cases, I require 48 hours notice for scheduling changes as stated in the Acknowledgement of Services and Fees that you will sign as a new client. AFFORDABLE, DISCOUNTED PROGRAMS: I have made some of my work more affordable by creating recordings and/or hybrid programs for Mastering Relaxation (to reduce anxiety and panic) and for the Weight Loss Hypnosis 8 Core Session Program. If either of these might interest you, please let me know! AND NOW: NEW! "Gliding Scale" for All Services Help for your transformation can't always wait until you have the funds to pay the full fee of $177 per private adult-length session. Some of the most loving people on the planet simply can't afford my usual fees right now. If you are in that situation, hugs!!! I've been there too. Now I have two questions for you: • Do you have the Willingness and Courage to Transform Your Life? • Will doing the work with me help you rise to meet the challenges of life, put you on a path to living your life's purpose, and help make the world a better place? If you answered YES, then do this: • Take stock of the reality of your situation and consider in your heart how generous you can be in a balanced exchange with me. • Ask yourself in your heart what number feels right to you: Is it $177, $157, $137, $117, $97, $87, $77 or $67? • Please keep in mind that I do have a minimum for a shorter 50 minute session of $67 for those who simply cannot afford more. (That's nearly two-thirds off what I usually charge.) • I also offer the two affordable programs mentioned above that you should check out: Mastering Relaxation and the Weight Loss Hypnosis Program. • Contact me today with your offer for private sessions and your goals to get started. The planet needs you and your light NOW! We have no time to waste!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I talk with you about what your goals are and what you hope to achieve in hypnotherapy or spiritual/intuitive counseling. That way we can determine together whether we're a good fit. Once we agree that you will benefit, I gather basic contact information and schedule your first session. Before your first hypnotherapy session, I send you the intake paperwork and information you'll need to get started and to get the most out of your hypnotherapy sessions. You'll also watch a short video on Theory of Mind to help you understand how the mind works and why habits can be so hard to change. If we're doing Intuitive or Spiritual Counseling, I don't require intake paperwork, just your basic contact information. I may record the session call on my side for your use later, but that is optional. Once I receive your intake paperwork and have you on my schedule, I will call you at the appointed time. For all types of sessions with me, you should make sure you are in a comfortable, private place where you will not be disturbed during our session. Please ask people and pets to allow you this time for yourself! Also, make sure you have a good working headset so that you will not need to hold the phone. Speakerphone can work okay, but it's not always as easy to hear as a good headset. Our first hypnotherapy session will include: • discussion of your goals in some depth • ranking them in order of importance and/or how much they distress you not to have achieved them • creating a plan for achieving your goals • information on what hypnosis is and about different types of suggestibility • testing you to discover your suggestibility type • putting you into hypnosis and deepening to create the hypnotic state as a tool to help you reach your goals • deeper relaxation • suggestions to help you achieve your goal, and • finally bringing you out of hypnosis feeling relaxed and refreshed! Next we book our next session. Then after we end our call, I edit your hypnosis recording from the session we just did and upload it to Dropbox for you to listen to or download. You'll receive an invitation to your new folder on my Dropbox account where you will find your new recording.
