MY TECHNIQUES
FUTURE LIFE PROGRESSION
Future Life Progression (FLP) is a technique that allows individuals to explore potential future scenarios through guided visualization or hypnosis. It is similar to Past Life Regression but focuses on looking forward rather than backward. Even though I may take you back to a past life, FLP can help people make better life decisions by offering insights into their future possibilities.
Core Ideas of Future Life Progression:
Exploring Potential Futures: I will guide individuals into a relaxed, trance-like state to visualize themselves 5, 10, or even 20 years into the future.
Decision-Making Tool: The goal is to gain clarity about life direction, choices, career, relationships, or personal goals by seeing where certain paths might lead.
Therapeutic & Intuitive: It's often used to bypass current doubts or fears and access a more intuitive sense of one’s true potential or destiny.
Not Predictive, but Possibility-Based: FLP doesn't claim to predict a fixed future. Instead, it shows potential outcomes based on current energies or choices.
Typical Applications:
Career direction or changes, Personal development and goal-setting, Relationship insights, Spiritual growth
Get in touch with me to live your best life now and future life.
HAVENING TECHNIQUES®
Havening Techniques® was developed by Dr. Ronald Ruden. It is a psycho-sensory method using touch to help individuals overcome emotional issues related to significate stressful events. Havening utilizes touch and distraction techniques to help reduce distressing memories. The touch used during havening facilitates the release of delta waves and helps to create a sense of safety and calmness or distressing memories. During a session, my client is guided to focus on positive thoughts or feelings which replaces the distressing thoughts and feelings. The Havening Techniques® is used to address different issues such as fears, issues related to feelings of anxiousness, distressing memories, emotional distress, and many other issues. Even though the Havening Technique is normally performed by a trained certified practitioner such as myself, I also teach my clients how to apply the Havening Technique on themselves. I have had great success with my clients using the Havening Techniques® to eliminate many distressing memories and also to help with issues related to restlessness, weight loss, smoking, fear of traveling, anger, guilt and many more issues.

HYPNOTISM
Hypnotism involves guiding someone into a state of hypnosis—a natural, focused state of awareness. Contrary to popular myths, hypnosis isn't about losing control or falling asleep. It’s simply a matter of expectation and belief: when you, the client, expect something to happen, your mind becomes more open to suggestion. During a hypnosis session, you're fully alert and aware of everything being said and done. You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
Many people have seen stage hypnosis where volunteers seem to act wildly or out of character. In reality, those participants are often the kind of individuals who would be willing to do silly things in public even without hypnosis. Hypnosis is not mind control—you’ll never cluck like a chicken unless you genuinely want to!
Used properly, hypnosis can be a powerful tool for positive change. It’s commonly used to help manage pain, reduce feelings of anxiousness, quit smoking, lose weight, and much more. It’s not a performance or a trick—it’s a safe, effective way to access the subconscious mind and support healthier thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. My clients often report feeling deeply relaxed during sessions and fully aware of everything I say—never controlled, just calm and clear-headed.

THE KINETIC SHIFT
The Kinetic Shift was developed by Karl Smith and Kathryn Temple in the UK. It is a 7 step system to help you release those feelings of fight, flight, or freeze from the amygdala part of your brain. The Kinetic Shift technique helps to quickly identify, locate, and shift emotions that can be used for issues related to feelings of anxiousness, stress, strains, fears, pains, negative emotions such as hurt, shame, grief, guilt, frustration, anger, pain, and other negative emotions. This also helps with limiting beliefs and helps to build confidence and self-esteem. Being able to release these unwanted feelings, helps you to move forward for a better future.

FAQ's
How do I get started with a session?
Once I have received an email from you I will set up a free consutation call to discuss how I may help you. If you are ready now to invest in yourself, I will start the process of getting you scheduled.
How long are your sessions?
I always ask my clients to block 2 hours for our first session. After that my sessions are 1.5 hours. However, each session may run a little longer or shorter. I want to make sure my clients have enough time to work through whatever issue we are working on for that session.
Do you Zoom?
I only work over Zoom. This allows me to work with people all over the world. I have had clients all over the US, UK, Europe, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. All of my techniques work great over Zoom. I have had many people tell me how surprised they were that I was able to use hypnosis over Zoom. This also allows my clients to be in their own comfortable setting and not having to drive to an office.
Is Hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is very safe. You as the client are in control at all times. You can not get stuck in hypnosis. All of my clients have commented how relaxed they feel after the session.
Do you have in person sessions?
On rare occasions I will have in person sessions if my clients insist. However, I will also charge a higher fee for an office rental.
