I teach my clients how to motivate themselves to do what they do not wish to do in order to achieve what they wish to achieve. I help my clients make their dreams and goals come true by teaching them how to use the maximum power of their minds to establish self-control.
My job is to uncover the potential that lies below the surface. And, for those willing to do the work--I show the possibilities of what humans can be--I show what they can become. They must be willing to do the digging.
We do the work together by combining hypnotism, hypnosis, self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy with motivation coaching and spiritual counseling.
Though each is a distinct discipline and modality of treatment, I often combine them when developing a personalized treatment regimen for my clients. Motivation coaching by design is directive, goal oriented and outcome based. Hypnosis techniques depend on the personality of the client; however, my preferences are to use non-directive and directive combinations. Spiritual counseling is generally non-directive by nature and design.
For conditions such as pain control, Fibromyalgia, IBS, depression, etc. I offer medical hypnotherapy which requires a written referral from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
As a HRD (human resource development) instructor at Alamance Community College, I teach classes in employability skills and the use of self-hypnosis by sales people, executives, managers and entrepreneurs; plus classes in weight control, smoking cessation, and stress-management. See the calendar for class schedules, etc.
Also, I am an adjunct faculty member and clinical hypnotist at the The Leadership Trust® in Durham, NC (www.leadershiptrust.com).
Other instructional responsibilities include weekly classes in t'ai chi and chi gung at AlamanceRegionalMedicalCenter and ongoing hypnosis workshops through the Elon University Wellness Program.
