When Something Has To Change
I work with people who are at a crossroads - those moments when a person realizes that how they’ve been living just isn't working anymore. We uncover who you really are underneath the noise of expectation, obligation, and guilt, we identify what specifically is keeping you from being that person, and then develop a plan to get you there.
No fluff. No magic. Just real work.
Sign of the Times...
You're doing fine on paper, but something isn’t rght.
- You're tired in a way sleep doesn't touch.
- In your quiet moments, you replay the past, desperate for a different outcome.
- When you think of the future, all you see is a more of the same.
- You work and work but feel like you're spinning your wheels, going nowhere, stuck in a rut.
You know something has to give. That's good. You're not broken, you're at a crossroads, and that's exactly where real change starts.
What Makes This Different?
You've talked it through many times, maybe too many times, with friends, family, therapists. You feel better for a day, a week, but the behaviours stay the same and so nothing changes. For all the talk of change, you end up in the same place.
If this sounds familiar, congratulations, your brain is working perfectly. Its job is to keep you alive. It doesn't care if you're happy. It doesn't care if you're thriving. It only cares that you are safe, and safety is built on familiarity. Your brain keeps you safe by keeping things the same.
The good news: a pattern you can name is a pattern you can change.
We keep the talk to a minimum and work directly with the parts of you that are actually running the loop — the self-criticism, the catastrophizing, the parts that talk to you in ways you would never dream of talking to others. We work together to transform them from your worst critics to your greatest allies. That is our difference.
The Engine of Change
We used to think that the brain was set by early childhood. Something traumatic happened to you and is impacting your life? Too bad - you're stuck. Deal with it.
Thankfully, the science continued to advance, and in the 1980s and 90s a new picture was formed - our brains continue to change and develop throughout our lives. And what's more, since we know how the brain changes, we can actually direct it to change the way we want it to.
We use this knowledge to weaken old patterns that hold you back and replace them with new ones that create the conditions for you to be who you want to be.
It's never too late to redefine your story.
Is This Right For You?
That depends. If you think "I can't be hypnotized", then you're probably right. On the other hand, if you think you can, you're also probably right.
Hypnotherapy is just a method that puts you in a relaxed state to quiet down the defensive part of your brain. It's not magic, it just helps you get an idea of what’s actually going on underneath the noise of your day-to-day.
Most people who reach out aren't sure hypnotherapy is "for them." They just know something's got to change, and that's key. Your progress is directly tied to your desire for change. You have that. The other key is how well you get along with your therapist.
So the best way forward is to have a chat. You're ready for change, so let's let's talk and see if hypnotherapy makes sense for you. There's no obligation on either side, so there's no risk.
What You Can Expect
My sessions with Chris have been more than helpful with my sleep issues and all that comes along with that. He thoroughly and thoughtfully addressed any issues that might be the cause of my insomnia and chronic pain. Chris provided me with not only the hypnotherapy sessions, but also with valuable tools that I can continue to use afterwards and for years to come including recorded sessions and some tools to turn down the volume that I can do on my own. Chris kept track of me weekly to be able to see this improvement which was also helpful and motivating. I feel set to continue this work on my own when our sessions are completed.

As a client I felt safe and respected throughout my interactions with Chris. He has always acted with professionalism and kindness. I really enjoyed his technique of entering hypnosis and his vocal abilities. I found myself immediately able to relax and fall into the session. I appreciated Chris' ability to discuss hard topics and willingness to further explore issues as they arose. Overall a fantastic experience and introduction to hypnotherapy. Thank you!

I’m truly grateful for the work we have done together. Working with Chris has been grounding, healing, and meaningful in ways that are hard to put into words. Chris’ presence has made a real difference for me. I can truly say that his support has helped me face and overcome personal fears and long-held traumas, in ways I never imagined possible. Chris provided a warm, grounding, safe, and deeply calming space. I felt seen, heard, and genuinely understood. This was a powerful, grounding, and unexpectedly transformative experience with someone who makes you feel genuinely safe and supported.

Wanting to work on yourself to be a better version of yourself is never comfortable. Christopher « held my hand » through deeply rooted unconscious biases I had of myself due to my environment & due to significant people I had during my crucial core development; concepts that didn’t belong to me like - who I was and how it should make me feel. Chris is gifted and is not only full of knowledge and ideas on how to help and support individuals, but he is also a great listener. I must add he can also think quickly on his toes when there is a change of plan and is very adaptable to the present need of one. Christopher’s energy was very warm. He spoke without judgement and provided a level of care that I hadn’t experienced prior to my sessions with him. He was very flexible, accommodating the fact that some sessions my take a little longer than others to provide the best possible care for the client. Overall, a 10/10 experience.
