Hypnotherapy

“Reimagine Your Reality”

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that utilizes hypnotic trance to induce a deep state of relaxation to influence the unconscious mind to help you generate new behavior(s) and overcome specific challenges.

Anyone can benefit from hypnotherapy. It is a fast, effective, and pain free way to incite behavioral change by engaging the mind with the body.

There are a multitude of benefits to be gained. Common reasons to seek out hypnotherapy include:

  • Reducing stress or anxiety

  • Managing panic attacks

  • Managing chronic pain

  • Removing unwanted behaviors, such as smoking or overeating

  • Weight loss

  • Eliminating fears and phobias

  • Being more confident

  • Improving performance

  • Improving sleep

Hypnotherapy Basics

  • Hypnotic trance is simply the fixation of your attention to the exclusion of all other things, and it is a natural state of mind for all humans. We naturally move through different trance states all day every day. For example, when you’re engrossed in a TV show or movie you aren’t thinking about what you had for dinner or who just walked into the room. Likewise, your state of mind when you first wake up is different than when you’re having a conversation with someone or driving a car.

    The difference with hypnotherapy is that instead of naturally moving through these different states of awareness throughout the day, we are now deliberately inducing a trance state to access the unconscious mind.

    The conscious mind is the part of the mind that is aware of the present moment, including our thoughts, feelings, and sensations. The unconscious mind is the part of the mind that is outside of conscious awareness. It is a reservoir of thoughts, feelings, memories, and impulses that we are not aware of but that can still influence our behavior.

  • Each hypnotherapy session will be a little different depending on your individual needs, goals, progress, preferred techniques, etc., but each session will typically last for an hour. (We can schedule longer sessions if necessary). 

    We will begin each session by discussing what you want to accomplish or change in your life. This discussion can take upwards of ten minutes or more because it is very important to have clear direction and executable goals. 

    Depending on your goal(s), there are a number of hypnotherapy techniques that may be used to induce deep relaxation and to tap into the unconscious mind (think guided meditation with creative visualization). These techniques can be practiced sitting up or laying down, whichever is the most comfortable to you. Practicing these techniques will take the better part of the session to yield the best results. The end of the session will be reserved for discussion of integration and next steps.

    Hypnotherapy is different for everyone, you may see significant improvements after just one session, but most people will need multiple sessions to achieve their goals.

  • I offer in-person sessions in Sugarhouse, as well as virtual sessions via Zoom. Virtual sessions will require you to be in a quiet place with minimal distractions with a good internet connection where you will be comfortable being on video.

  • Our brains naturally oscillate between different types of brain waves, also called altered states of awareness. We know this because we can measure brain waves with an electroencephalography (EEG), which measures oscillating electrical voltages in the brain over time.

    Hypnotherapy induces deep relaxation to move your brain from Beta, which is an active, logical state, into Alpha or Theta, which are relaxed, meditative states.

What People Are Saying

  • A Beautiful and Transformative Experience!

    “I came into a breathwork session with Kate super open minded and unsure of what to expect. It ended up being super powerful. I connected with a lot of deep, pent up emotion and Kate created a safe space that allowed me to finally feel and release a lot of old, painful wounds. It felt nice to feel and heal and cry it out.”

    Matt J.

    Kate has really helped me to adhere a healthy lifestyle I have lost 15 pounds and have been able to maintain that since August, of 2021. After working with Kate I feel like I have the tools I need to be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle as I continue to age.

  • Immediate Benefit

    “I’ve never tried hypnotherapy, but I was facing some health issues and an upcoming surgery that was giving me anxiety, so I tried it. I felt my perspective shift immediately and left my session with tools to help me continue my journey in a well way. I was pleasantly surprised at the sense of ease I had both before and after my surgery. I plan on continuing hypnotherapy to address other life stressors.”

  • An Amazing Journey

    “I believe anyone would benefit from Kate’s breathwork class. It was an amazing journey that I knew I needed, however, I didn’t know how badly I needed it. A true release of stress from the integrated world. I was able to let go and be vulnerable in such a safe space and energy that Kate provided for all of us. Will certainly come back for more self-care!”

  • Motivating

    “I am grateful for Kate's coaching through my elimination diet. There were many days I wanted to throw in the towel, but she kept me level headed and goal oriented. After the first week, she helped me establish a menu that satisfied my hunger and resulted in fewer cravings.”

    Brittney B.

  • A Workout Routine I Love!

    I really love this workout routine! I’m a mountain biker and when the weather warmed up and I was able to go on my first ride, I felt strong in both legs and cardio! I was able to do a ride and my legs were not tired and I did not get exhausted.

    John W.

  • Intense Mind-Body Connection

    “I thought I had done breathwork through meditation or self-practice, but this I describe as more of a release journey. It was intense at moments, but had more peace and relaxation than I would have imagined going into this experience. The mind and body truly are interconnected through breathing. This was my first and will not be my last breathwork session.”

    Haley H.

    Kate was not judgmental at all, she didn’t make me feel foolish because I didn’t meet a goal or struggled with something.

    Terry A.
