Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is actually a natural state of mind we all pass in and out of 
many times a day - upon awakening, while falling asleep, while driving, 
staring, eating, reading, and watching a good movie. We often “escape” 
into this relaxed state willingly because it is so pleasant and tranquil.

Every client describes the experience of hypnosis in an individual and 
personalized way and yet they all report a deep sense of serenity and 
self-assuredness. What most people don’t realize is that this peaceful 
state is where powerful growth, healing and transformation can occur 
under the guidance of a knowledgeable, trained hypnotist.

 

How can hypnosis help me in my fertility journey?

Hypnosis at the time of embryo transfer yielded pregnancy rates that were double those of the controls. (Eliahu Levitas, et al., “Impact of Hypnosis during Embryo Transfer on the Outcome of In Vitro Fertilization—Embryo Transfer: A Case-control Study,” Fertility & Sterility, 85 – 5 (2006): 1404 – 1408.

​

Hypnosis has been proven to have a positive effect on reducing stress hormones that may impede the production of reproductive hormones and interfere with egg quality and receptivity or implantation.

​

Hypnosis is a time-tested method for affecting the autonomic nervous system, where the controls of the body lie, and is beyond our conscious reach.

What will my first session be like?

Your first session will consist of an intake conversation where we will discuss your fertility journey and your beliefs, fears and any medical matters that you feel may be impeding your fertility. Please allow for up to an hour of alone time in a quiet location, where you won't be disturbed and wear comfortable clothes. 

Following our discussion, you will receive an audio recording of a customized hypnosis session for relaxation. I ask that you listen to the audio daily for one week prior to our follow-up session, which will be scheduled for the following week and will take approximately 15-30 mins. Your subsequent sessions will followed by additional tailored recordings that will further your progress and address additional issues as they arise.
