The Experience
Can you share what an intake session with you looks like?
When someone books a personalized recording with me, the first step is to connect with them and find out what they want to achieve with hypnosis. For some people they might know exactly what they want to achieve and it can be very specific, but a lot of times, people feel the call to hypnosis and aren’t entirely clear on the outcome. In my opinion, this is where the magic happens and where someone of the subconscious beliefs can already start to shift and loosen.
So we book a call to get clear on what we want in the recording. Connecting with women on these calls is actually one of my favourite parts of the process. What I’ve found is a lot of people don’t have someone in their lives they can share their deepest desires and dreams with, someone who can hold space for them to dream big, to widen what they thought possible, to push them to think bigger and bigger, to imagine a life where anything they desire can be theirs.
Once I start that conversation, start the process of getting them to dream, to imagine the version of them that has the life of their dreams, their world opens up - having the container for someone to receive that, see you in your highest potential, to remind you it's possible, to give you permission, it’s quite literally where the change starts. And most of the time, it’s almost like the floodgates open. Once we feel seen in our desires and our potential, our subconscious will start to release everything we’ve maybe been holding back our talking ourselves out of. These conversations are so expansive and magical and selfishly, they make me feel so good too. I feel so lucky and grateful to be able to share in my clients dreams and futures. Sometimes I literally sit there after a call and I’m like how lucky am I that I get to have these conversations every day? To remind women of their innate power and possibility. It’s so fucking cool.
Why do you think that is? What are the benefits of having someone else speak your dream life out loud to you?
Wow, that brings me so much joy to hear you say that. I honestly have so much fun going deeper and expanding on what comes up during the intake process. Once I connect with clients and understand them a bit better, I find there is this intuitive ability to see their potential even when it wasn’t fully expressed during the call. Sometimes our limiting beliefs can block us from dreaming even bigger and for me, I can see you for who you truly are, rather than who you think you are.
In terms of having someone else speak your deepest desires aloud to you - I think there is so much power in this because we are in our own heads all day long. For most of us, our thoughts are on loop and positive or negative, we hear our voice speaking these things to us day in and day out. But by having someone else speak these things into existence, to bring them to life, it almost gives it a certain authority that makes it that much more real. By taking our dreams out of our own head and into the world, it’s giving them substance - it makes them feel tangible and solid - possible. In my opinion, the first time you hear these things said out loud by someone else is unlike anything else you’ve ever experienced - I can recall it bringing tears to my eyes. Even though I am a hypnotherapist, I work with a coach myself for this very reason, there is so much power in someone else bringing these things to life for you.
Am I still getting the benefits if I am walking rather than lying down?
Haha, while I wouldn’t recommend listening to the induction and driving, I’m a huge fan of playing your recording in different ways and getting it into your mind as often as possible. Almost like a walking meditation, and not unlike listening to subliminals and affirmations, there is power in familiarizing your mind with your dream life as much as possible. By programming your brain to pay attention to the things you want in life, you can quite literally make them materialize. We get what we focus on, and the more we listen, the more we visualize, the more safe and familiar and possible it will feel for us, aligning us with opportunities and synchronicities to make it a reality.
I definitely do still recommend frequently doing the full induction and actually allowing yourself to get into a hypnotic state as well, as this is when the conscious mind is suspended and we can really implant these things into the subconscious without any resistance or limiting beliefs getting in the way.
what is your favorite client success story?
I have to say, I absolutely loved working with you and it’s so cool to follow along with your life after the fact and see the things we called in becoming a reality – oftentimes it's even better than we imagined. I feel like a fan girl sometimes, watching my clients live their lives through social media and seeing them reach their goals. It’s the best feeling lol.
One of the first clients I worked with is actually still a client today. We’ve gone through breaks and cycles, but I feel so incredibly grateful to have been, and still be a part of her journey today. When we met, she was engaged in a relationship she wasn’t happy in, had just dropped out of college and was living with her parents. She knew she was meant for more, she felt this pull, but she wasn’t sure what that meant. During our first couple of sessions, we went deep and actually discovered that her dream since she was little - something she had never even actually voiced out loud or admitted to herself, was to be a singer. So we created her dream identity and dream life from this vision.
Fast forward to a couple years later, she left the relationship that wasn’t serving her, stepped into her power, moved to Los Angeles, and is almost done recording her first album. She’s also played numerous shows all over California (she had never even sang in front of anyone when we started). She’s so talented and it’s so wild to see her come into her own, to step into her dream identity, the transformation from where she was when we started and how she’s taken such bold action is pure magic.
