Why Hypnotherapy?

Because it creates change from the inside out.

Because there is a wealth of potential already within you.

Because you are the source of all that is created in your life.

Why Hypnotherapy Works Faster and More Effectively

According to a well-cited study published in American Health Magazine, hypnotherapy consistently outperforms other common therapeutic approaches in both effectiveness and efficiency:

  • Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after approximately 600 sessions

  • Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after about 22 sessions

  • Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after only 6 sessions

This means that clients often achieve meaningful, lasting results in a fraction of the time compared to traditional therapies. The study highlights hypnotherapy’s unique ability to access the subconscious mind—the seat of habits, beliefs, and emotional responses—allowing clients to create powerful and lasting change more quickly.

Hypnosis for Weight Loss

Research demonstrates that hypnotherapy can significantly boost weight loss results, especially when combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT):

  • CBT Alone: Participants lost an average of 6.0 pounds.

  • CBT + Hypnotherapy: Participants lost an average of 14.9 pounds, more than double the results of CBT alone.

This shows that adding hypnosis to a structured therapy program not only improves immediate results but also supports greater long-term success in achieving and maintaining weight loss.

Hypnosis for Anxiety and Dental Stress Relief

A 2022 meta-analysis found that hypnotherapy significantly reduces both dental-specific anxiety and general anxiety levels. The results showed:

  • No Treatment (Control): ~20% improvement

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): ~42% improvement

  • Hypnotherapy: ~71% improvement

This research highlights hypnotherapy’s powerful role in calming fears and reducing stress, particularly for individuals facing dental procedures or coping with ongoing anxiety.

Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation

A large meta-analysis covering more than 6,000 smokers found that hypnotherapy produced the highest quit rates compared to other common methods:

  • Nicotine Patches: 13%

  • Prescription Drugs (Champix/Zyban): 21–26%

  • Acupuncture: 25%

  • Hypnotherapy: 60%

These results demonstrate that hypnotherapy is one of the most effective approaches for long-term smoking cessation, offering a drug-free, non-invasive solution with significantly higher success rates.
