I began my life so quietly, no one knew I even existed. When I was in the womb, my heartbeat was so faint, the doctors never told my parents they were having twins.

Thanks to the unlimited potential of my brain’s imagination, my childhood was occupied with exploring new worlds as an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction. But I also did modern dance, connecting with how my body wanted to move.

By college, I had become a medieval re-creationist. With the collective imaginations and adventurous bodies of my friends, we used rattan as weapons (think lawn furniture) and raw leather or sheets of steel as armor to do battle.

It wasn’t until 1999, when I wandered into a New Age crystal shop, that I found a portal into the imaginations of others. There, I found a newspaper offering a hypnosis class. Would they make me cluck like a chicken or sign away all my money? Or would I transform into the person I didn’t realize I could be

The transformation is still ongoing as I’ve been studying Hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) ever since. I’ve studied bodywork, QiGong, Reiki, EFT, Havening, and a number of other modalities. And I began teaching NLP and Hypnosis, so far to thousands of people at over 400 Meetups.

Over time, I found that combining hypnosis with body and energy work got me and my clients better results much faster. The body is as much a part of our unconscious as our mind and it always speaks the truth to us. In the union of mind and body, we are uniquely ourselves. We get to create a place in the world where we belong, regardless of what anyone else might think or say. There is so much amazing wisdom in our bodies and unconscious. I find working with the body often can help us get out of the internal dialogue and distracting thoughts that get in the way of making change.

That is why I felt the need to develop my own discipline combining hypnosis & NLP, bringing people back to their body, breath & movement. It’s a discipline I call BodyMind Hypnosis.

As I create safe spaces for clients to generate lasting change, I help people become better versions of themselves, and transform old problems into new, positive habits, beliefs, and ways of enjoying life.

Although every individual is exactly that, general areas of focus include reducing stress & anxiety, stopping smoking, losing weight, and building confidence.
