Hypnosis is going through a breakthrough moment. Although it has been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands, of years by groups as diverse as mystics, magicians and medical practitioners[1], over one hundred years of scientific study has identified hypnosis as an effective means of help for a myriad of situations and conditions. People have studied the use of hypnosis on childbirth[2][3], fear of visits to the dentist, pain relief[4], smoking cessation[5], stress relief[6], sleepwalking[7], and more. So, it’s no wonder that more people are turning to hypnosis than ever before.
In response to the growing demand, more and more providers of hypnosis are taking their work more and more seriously. That’s where we came in.
Upon retiring a highly successful career with the Marines, our founder Monica Marusceac, decided to devote her life to helping people. She didn’t discover hypnosis immediately however, choosing at first to pursue a path in medicine as a doctor. What she thought would be a side-job that changed everything for her.
Monica discovered that hypnosis had an incredible effect on people, and through her work she realized the full potential of hypnosis for helping people. Since then, Monica has worked hard to build an honest, trustworthy, and effective space, bringing in the best of her fellow practitioners to help their clients.
Our uniqueness has been noted again and again by our clients, told both in hushed word-of-mouth recommendations, and public Yelp and Google reviews. While our method is practiced around the world, our professionalism, our rigorous and continual training, our established process and firm integrity set us apart just as much as what we don’t do.
We are qualified
Like any other professional, hypnosis has rigorous industry standards. However, most clients are unaware of what those standards are.
All of our practitioners are Board Certified Hypnotists, which requires external testing on knowledge and technique and experience as a practitioner prior to the test. Practitioners without this certification have no external qualification for their skills.
Our practitioners are also all practitioners or Masters Practitioners Neuro-Linguistic Programming[8], a technique popularized by Tony Robbins but founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970’s. NLP is, in the essence, a technique that allows you to hack your brain, and you should have no doubt that this is part of what we teach our clients to do to themselves.
In addition, our practitioners are all Certified Health Coaches, which ensures that the health advice we give our clients, particularly the clients who come to us for weight loss, is sound.
Finally, in addition to our many certifications, our practitioners engage constantly both in receiving ongoing training and delivering training to others, and have been doing so since we opened in 2013. It is essential to us that our skills and our practices are being constantly improved and refined, just like any other professional.
We are professional
Everything from our practices, to our procedure, to our office space is professional. Some clients have come to us from other offices, relieved to be in a space that is clean, central, and beautiful. Of course, our professionalism extends to far more than our offices, as we have both in-person and online sessions.
We have an established procedure for our sessions. We have a developed methodology that gives us predictably effective results. We do not take chances with the satisfaction and success of our clients by giving them false promises or conducting sessions without a plan, as informed by your Initial Assessment.
You have our commitment to punctuality, and if your provider is more than 15 minutes late for your appointment your session will be free.
For us, this is not part-time work. Our four providers work full-time with our clients, every day. Not only does this show our commitment to this work, but it displays our proficiency as developed by our hundreds of clients.
We take your trust seriously
Your trust in us and our process is essential to us. We do everything in our power to be as honest and trustworthy as we can be. This means, first and foremost, that we will not give you any false promises.
We will not promise you something we can’t deliver, only to raise your hopes and dash them when you leave our offices without what you had in mind. We will tell you exactly what is possible, and then we will work with you to deliver it.
We have a reliable process
An integral part of our process for ensuring that you are able to build the results that you came to us for by conducting an 90 minute Initial Assessment. Our Initial Assessment is a strategic planning session. It allows us to understand who you are, where you’re coming from, and what your expectations are. This enables us to determine the right number of sessions, the right provider for you, your experiences, and your personality, and for us to be able to strategize your sessions so that you are able to make changes as quickly as possible.
In contrast, some practitioners with lower standards promise an IA, but instead deliver a sales call. Half of your first meeting with them might be devoted to ensuring that you buy time with them instead of working to understand you and your needs. Our work for you begins the moment you start your Initial Assessment.
This is important because even though two people may come to us with the same issue, they may have different reasons why the issue is an issue for them, and they may even have completely difference desired outcomes.
For example, two clients may both come in because they are afraid of flying.
One may come in because they experience it as a fear of groundlessness and height, and they want to instead feel excitement and joy when they fly. Success, to them, is to love flying more than their favourite song.
Another may come in because they get severe panic attacks when they fly, and success to them is to be able to fly without taking a Xanax and drinking 5 cocktails to avoid panicking. Furthermore, they want to be able to sleep.
To affect change in a person, you must understand what motivates them, what their dreams are, what causes them pain and pleasure, as well as the duration, severity, and associations that they have with the problem. Without this understanding, you are skimming over the problem instead of deeply impacting it.
Our Initial Assessment ensures that we have this understanding so that we can deeply impact and change your thoughts, and your life.
