Hypnotherapy
A guided session that works with the subconscious to shift patterns and beliefs that haven’t budged through talking alone. You stay aware throughout — deeply relaxed but present. It’s less about being put under and more about accessing a state where change becomes easier.
What to expect
We begin with a conversation about what you’d like to shift, then move into a guided induction — a deep state of relaxation where the conscious mind quiets and the subconscious becomes more open to new perspectives. Most people describe it as feeling similar to the space just before sleep: aware, but still. Afterward, we talk through what came up and how to integrate it.

Grief Guide | Clinical Hypnotherapist & Somatic Grief Coach
My path into this work is personal.
I didn’t set out to work in this field. For over a decade, I worked in global health, much more comfortable with thinking and problem-solving than feeling. After the deaths of both of my parents, I spent a lot of time looking for spaces to help me navigate my grief.
In my previous career, I was accustomed to supporting people through systems, resources, and plans. Grief didn’t respond to any of that. It changed how I understood care. It became less about solving and more about being able to sit with what’s uncomfortable without trying to move it along. That shift is what brought me toward more relational and body-based approaches.
My journey with grief changed how I think about support and healing spaces, eventually leading me to train in somatic breathwork, hypnotherapy, and grief coaching.
Now, I work with people who are moving through loss, change, or a season of life that feels heavier than usual. My sessions are conversational and paced. We might talk, use breathwork, or bring in hypnotherapy depending on what feels useful that day.
Outside of sessions, I’m usually somewhere outdoors, listening to loud music, or sharing good food with people I love. This work is important to me, but I try to keep it grounded and human — less about fixing and more about paying attention. I look forward to working with you.
