Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in thoughts or behaviors. In hypnosis the mind is open to new ideas which encourages a balanced receptive approach to solving problems. It provides tools to manage everyday stresses and habits while giving respite to the overworked mind. We all know taking care of our physical body is important, but few people stop to think about how our minds quite literally never stop working for us. Whether it is in a wakeful state or deep in slumber the mind is always working. Hypnosis is self-care for the mind. I invite you to give yourself the gift of relaxation and the tools to approach old problems in new ways by exploring this beautiful ancient pathway of self-empowerment and self-care. Hypnotherapy can be a game changer if you want it to be.
By appointment only. Please contact Marli by text, email or phone at 401-999-7876 or margaret@bothhandshypnosis.com to arrange a consultation.
