Frequently Asked Questions

Twelve of the questions we hear most often, answered plainly. If yours is not here, please write to us — we love a thoughtful question.

Is hypnotherapy safe?+

Yes. Clinical hypnotherapy is a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical relaxation practice with a long safety record. You remain awake and aware throughout, and you can end any session at any moment.

Will I lose control or be made to do something embarrassing?+

No. Stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy are two completely different things. In a clinical setting you will never act against your values, your judgment, or your wishes.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?+

Not generally. If you are being treated for a serious medical or psychiatric condition we will ask that your treating physician is aware, simply as good practice.

How many sessions will I need?+

Most clients see meaningful results in 4–6 sessions. Smoking cessation is fixed at 4. Sleep restoration is fixed at 6. Stress work is open-ended and paced to the client.

Are sessions confidential?+

Strictly. We follow standard healthcare confidentiality norms. Notes are kept securely and never shared without your written consent.

Can I do sessions online?+

Yes. Online sessions are conducted via secure video and work very well for sleep, anxiety, and habit work. Some deep relaxation work is better in-person; we will advise honestly.

Do you work with teenagers?+

We work with clients aged 16 and up. For clients under 18, a parent or guardian must attend the first session.

What is your cancellation policy?+

Please give 24 hours notice if you cannot attend. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged at half the session rate. Life happens — we are reasonable in cases of illness or emergency.

Can I bring someone with me to the first session?+

Absolutely. Many clients bring a partner or friend to the intake. They are welcome to wait in the studio's small lounge during the working portion.

Do you offer gift certificates?+

Yes — for individual sessions or full programs. Please contact us directly to arrange one.

Is the studio accessible?+

Yes. The studio is on a single ground level with a step-free entrance. Free parking is available on the property.

Do you accept insurance?+

We do not bill insurance directly, but we provide detailed receipts that some HSA and FSA accounts will accept for wellness services.

Still have a question?

Send a note and we will reply within one business day, in plain English.
