Question 1

What exactly is hypnosis?

Accepted Answer

A natural state of focused attention where your mind is more receptive to change. You're fully in control and aware—like guided meditation, but more powerful. Not sleep, not mind control.

Question 2

Will I lose control?

Accepted Answer

No! You're fully in control the entire time. This is therapeutic hypnosis (not stage hypnosis). You'll feel relaxed and focused. You can open your eyes and leave anytime.

Question 3

What if it doesn't work on me?

Accepted Answer

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. If you're willing to participate, it works. The only people it doesn't work on are those who actively resist. If you bought a ticket, you're already willing!

Question 4

Do I need to believe in it?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Skeptics often get the best results. You just need to be willing to try. Think of it like trying a new food—you don't have to believe it'll taste good to take a bite, and it nourishes you whether you enjoy the taste or not.

Question 5

Is this a sales pitch?

Accepted Answer

No pressure. Real workshop, real transformation. I'll mention 1-on-1 sessions at the end with a discount for attendees, but zero pressure. Come, learn, experience, take your recording home.

Question 6

What's your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

No refunds. Tickets are non-refundable. If you can't attend, we'll email you the recording and workbook so you still get value. Limited to 10 seats.

Question 7

Will I feel awkward?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Most people are first-timers. Warm, welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere. You'll sit comfortably in a small group with your own chair. No weird stuff. You'll be surprised how normal it feels.

Question 8

How is this different from meditation apps?

Accepted Answer

Meditation helps you observe thoughts. Hypnosis changes them at the root level. You go deeper faster, plus get a personalized recording. Results in one session vs months of practice.

Question 9

What should I wear/bring?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable clothes (think cozy coffee shop), and something to drink. Bring nothing, we provide workbook, pen. Just show up with an open mind. You can bring a  hypno blanket and pillow if that's your preference (or better for relaxing) but we also have them at the center.

Question 10

Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Just make sure you each buy a ticket (limited to 20 people). Experiencing it together can be powerful, and you can support each other afterward.

Question 11

Will this work in 60 minutes?

Accepted Answer

You'll feel a difference immediately. The recording reinforces the work, so changes deepen over time. Most people notice significant improvement after 3-7 days of using the recording consistently. Big changes can take time, so we focus on incremental success which leads to effortless experiences.

Question 12

What if I fall asleep?

Accepted Answer

Sleep is natural when you're exhausted. It's better to stay awake to get the full effect, but you'll still get a lot out of the session if you sleep for a bit. And it's normal if you do, and it happens all the time! What I want you to experience is conscious relaxation. It's life-changing.

Question 13

Is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Completely safe. Recognized by the AMA, used therapeutically for decades. The only 'risk' is feeling really relaxed! If you have serious mental health issues, check with your doctor first. The "side effects" of hypnosis include peace of mind, establishment of meaning, and ongoing moments of joy. :-)

Question 15

Question 16
