Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis has existed since early civilization when the Egyptians practiced induced trance for healing purposes and the ancient Greeks whispered words of healing into the ears of sick patients in an altered state. In modern times Freud experimented with hypnotic techniques, recognizing that a patient in a hypnotic trance was open to receiving and acting upon suggestions leading to beneficial outcomes. Today hypnosis is no longer regarded as an ancient or experimental treatment technique and is practiced widely by doctors, dentists, nurses, psychiatrists and psychotherapists. In 1958 the American Medical Association approved hypnosis as a safe practice with no harmful side effects. This sparked extensive empirical research into hypnotherapy as an applied treatment to a myriad of physical and mental health concerns, from allergies to chronic pain, from exam anxiety to phobias and from stress related illnesses to trauma and abuse. In the latter part of the century, numerous studies found that hypnotherapy, or the use of hypnosis as a treatment modality, is effective, cost efficient and longer lasting when compared to other treatment approaches.
“I have made up my mind not to regret. Not to regret that I didn’t know about Fayina way before now. I am just grateful to have found her now. I am pushing 60 and have struggled with many things throughout my life. I did go for all kinds of help throughout the years. Help with general anxiety, marital problems, weight loss and self-medicating with food and alcohol. After just 4 sessions of hypnotherapy with Fayina, all I feel is tremendous relief. I am reacting differently to all my triggers, whether they be people and their behaviors or substances, with very little effort. Thank you Fayina, you are the best! With gratitude to you for your skill, expertise, effectiveness and kindness.”

Hypnotherapy utilizes hypnosis - a deeply relaxed altered state of consciousness where the client is open to suggestions for positive changes and has access to traumatic life events that can be reprocessed. A hypnotic state creates a natural inner focus and concentration on internal experiences, bodily sensations, emotions and memories stored in the mind. In this state, we can reframe limiting beliefs, release emotional blocks, access healing and forgiveness and create long lasting change on all levels, mind, body and spirit.
