Hi, I’m a hypnotherapist.  You can probably imagine some of the crazy comments and questions I hear after I introduce myself.  Mostly I get asked if I will make you bark like a dog, the answer is always “Only if you want me to.”  Last night, someone asked me if I could make them a billionaire through hypnosis.   The answer is sure! Okay, I can’t promise to make anyone rich and as much as I wish it were, hypnosis just isn’t magic.  To become a billionaire it takes hard work, a skill and probably a great business idea.  Unfortunately, hypnosis …

Humans have the power of being conscious creatures.  We have the ability to make our own choices, have the power off free will, and can decide what we want to do.  Every day we make so many decisions and have the freedom to do what we want to do, it’s great right? Actually, our conscious mind is not what we think it is.  We are not as in control as we like to believe.  Think about our conscious mind being the “Great and Powerful Oz” when really it is the man behind the curtain that is in charge. The almighty …

As a coach, I work a lot with people who need to value themselves more. Sometimes it’s by stopping harmful behaviors that are holding them back. Sometimes it’s a self-esteem issue and other times it comes down to a monetary issue. As a business owner, this is something I have to deal with myself. My rates are probably the lowest in the Lehigh Valley right now. There are people who tell me that I am hurting myself because it looks like I’m not valuing myself as high as I should. Well, I disagree. To begin with, I don’t rent a …

Today is one of those days that always makes me stop and think. Three years ago today, one of my dearest friends ever passed away suddenly. I hadn’t spoken to him in a while and his death was extremely unexpected. There were multiple complications involved as well which made the grieving process harder. Three years later and it doesn’t hurt as much. I still miss him and am saddened when I realize I can’t call him. I still have these days that belong to him- his birthday, his death anniversary, etc. Grief is one of the hardest things you have …

Happy 2018! It is the year that you have been waiting for, this is your year! How do you make things different this year? Well, for starters, throw out the resolutions. Resolutions have a hug failure rate and you are ready to succeed! So how do you create change without resolutions? Simple, create goals. When creating goals, the key is to make them practical, simple and easy to manage. Do not create unrealistic timelines.

My kids have been saying some pretty amazing things lately. Today my son said “Mommy, I don’t get Scooby Doo. Every episode they are afraid of monsters but then they always find out it’s just a person wearing a mask. Why are they still scared?” At first, I just looked at him, trying to process what he just said. Then I chuckled at the comment but at the same time, I realized he had just said something way more profound than he had realized. Each and everyone of us is just like the characters on Scooby Doo. There is something …

Most people think about hypnosis taking place in an office on a comfy chair. Sure, I’ve got a great comfy chair just waiting for you to sit in! However, you don’t need to. Hypnosis can be done in so many different ways and 1 way might be better for you than another. Perhaps you live too far from me, maybe you live right next door but have a baby at home, or maybe you just want a little more. I recently compared hypnosis to exercising. When you decide to exercise, you have so many options. You can buy a DVD …

Kids are great, aren’t they? They are born, you raise them and then off to adulthood they go. Parenting children is so easy and whenever you do have a question, you can simply consult their direction manual…. oh wait, no.

Bed wetting, sport performance, school performance, and …

Almost everyone has heard of a life coach, but what does it mean? Is it some trendy thing taking place on the west coast? Something only the very rich and elite use? I bet you have a million questions about life coaching, well, I am here to answer them! Let’s start with the basics. For many years now, humans have realized that they are not always feeling fulfilled, successful or even happy. Many people would go to a therapist and evaluate their lives.
