SERVICES
Accelerated Resourcing
Accelerated Resourcing (AR) is a new, innovative Brain/Body based technique to help clients process past trauma or distressing memories from the past. This technique draws from concepts of Brainspotting, EMDR, IFS, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), meditation, and is inspired by the Flash Technique. The positive resourcing exercises can help you break free from past experiences.
Heart Healing™/Hypnotherapy
Heart Healing™ is an integrative healing approach that combines scientific, spiritual, and energetic principles for deep and profound shifts. It approach is rooted in inner child healing, deep relaxation (meditative journeying), psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioural therapy techniques, parts therapy, attachment theory, and somatic healing.
This is a technique that focuses on relationship healing on a subconscious level. We have all had experiences that have impacted our hearts that have left us feeling rejected, judged, criticised, not accepted, abandoned, or not enough in some way. Heart Healing helps to release old hurts and open our hearts again to life.
Rapid Transformational Therapy™ /Hypnotherapy
Rapid Transformational Therapy ™ helps you to get to the root cause of why you are stuck by reviewing 3 to 4 scenes related to the root cause of the problem. During the session, we will uncover the negative meaning and interpretation (self-beliefs) from previous life events you have experienced. We can then change the meaning to ones that are more positive and empowering. RTT™ uses a variety of tools while in this deeply relaxed state to reframe scenes in your subconscious to create the desired changes.
RTT combines hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, Psychotherapy, and CBT. RTT helps reframe core beliefs, thoughts, habits, and emotions that lie deep within the subconscious.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is an innovative technique that locates points in a person’s visual field that helps to access unprocessed stress and/or trauma in the emotional part of the brain (subcortical) which is responsible for our automatic responses or triggers. Many clients report that Brainspotting creates a trance-like state that is similar to Hypnotherapy
Brainspotting can be very supportive for recovering from PTSD, processing trauma, improving performance and accessing flow states.
Dr. Grand discovered that “Where you look affects how you feel.” It is the brain activity, especially in the subcortical brain that organizes itself around that eye position.
Brainspotting uses relevant eye positions, somatic awareness, and focused mindfulness to process and release the stored traumas and stress to facilitate relief, insight and change.
It is a brain-body-based treatment that integrates well with other types of therapies. Many clients report the benefits of this therapy in that you don’t have to extensively talk about the trauma in order to heal. It also uses music and sounds that clients listen to during the session, which produces a calming effect on the brain and nervous system to integrate past experiences.
Expansion is a type of Brainspotting that goes beyond the problem to access flow states, such as cultivating joy, freedom, internal awareness, etc. It uses both the client’s internal resources and positive memory from the past to facilitate shifts in the nervous system.
How We Work Together
IDentifying Desires & Outcomes
SUBCONSCIOUS RELEASE
In therapy, we will get to the root cause of why you are stuck by releasing the old feelings, beliefs, and unprocesssed stress on a subconscious level. We will uncover the limiting beliefs that are holding you back. Often what is hurting you now, was once a powerful solution at one time in your life but it is now outdated and getting in the way of you choosing more of what you do want.
SUBCONSCIOUS REWIRING
MOVING INTO NEW CHOICES

Belief Change - Where Healing Begins
Our beliefs on a subconscious level inform and instruct everything we do. Many behaviors and coping mechanisms are automatic-based on our beliefs we may not even be fully aware of. When we change our beliefs on a subconscious level, so much more is available and possible for us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all sessions involve hypnosis?
Both RTT and Heart Healing use hypnosis to access your subconscious mind. Other therapies like Brainspotting, somatic/body based psychotherapies, talk therapy, and Internal Family Systems do not use hypnosis. Hypnotherapy can be powerful tool for healing and understanding but often the best approach is a multi-disciplinary approach that is tailored to your unique needs.
Hypnosis is simply a very relaxed state, much like you would experience in meditation. You are in full charge of the session, and each session is very client-centered. You cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.
You will also receive an intro/primer recording before the session to help make hypnosis very familiar to you before coming to the session.
However, both RTT and Heart Healing go beyond traditional hypnosis or hypnotherapy getting to the root cause of why you are stuck rather than simply using positive reinforcement. When combined together, long-term results are possible.
How does Rapid Transformational and Heart Healing Hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy is based on science and uses Rapid Eye Movement. Hypnotherapy helps you gain access to the subconscious mind which gives you more power to influence your thoughts and emotions.
When you change your thoughts and feelings, you are able to change your behaviours for the long term. When you review previous life events, you are simply reviewing them, not reliving them; and this allows you to understand their meaning in relation to the current problem/issue you have.
What if I don’t “go deep” enough?
Depth of trance is not linked to results. Don’t expect to be deep – expect to feel very relaxed.
You are in complete control of the process, but you are taken to a state where you can access your subconscious mind.
I am worried about revisiting scenes or experiences from the past?
In hypnosis, you are in a highly relaxed state to review scenes from the past so we can understand the meaning and their impacts. It is important to remember you are just reviewing scenes from the past, not reliving them. Therapies like Brainspotting can further help to process and heal trauma.
How should I expect to see changes?
There are three types of change clients experience from transformational hypnotherapy and every person is different:
Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away and feel immediate changes in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in the session or right after.
Incremental: You experience small shifts as you listen to your highly personalized recording 30 days post-session which over time will lead to more significant changes in your life.
Retroactive: For some people, it is not till they start to look back at their behaviour do they notice how much they changed for the better. Sometimes clients even report that friends and family start commenting on how much they changed before they even realize the change in themselves.
Most people experience changes from all three.
What is the difference between face-to-face and online sessions?
Sessions are delivered online. Online sessions are delivered via Jane app via HIPAA-compliant platform. This mode of delivery is equally as effective as face-to-face sessions.
Clients often report enjoying the convenience of doing sessions from the privacy of their own home. Jane App is a free and accessible platform, and full instructions will be provided to you on how to use this platform for the best overall experience.
Are all sessions confidential?
All sessions are strictly confidential, and nothing is shared from any of our work together unless you provide written consent to do so. As a Psychotherapist, there are a few limited circumstances that it is required by law to breach confidentiality. This will be shared in your initial consent to therapy as well as first session.
