Changing Paths Hypnotherapy

ted my certification and became licensed! A life long goal was finally achieved! Why was this so monumental for me? Let me give you the quick back story -
Once upon a time there was this little italian girl from a small town in Connecticut.......
Kidding....
I battled with myself for years trying to discover my purpose. I knew at my core I was put on this earth to help & counsel people. It was more than just having the "gift of gab". I genuinely want to hear what people are saying. I have been told my whole life that I was so easy to talk to, I always have the best advice, etc...
As many of us know, our own hopes and dreams take a back seat when you're the CEO of your family and already have a 40+ hour a week job. The paycheck and benefits won over my ambition & goals every time. The thought of continuing my education was a pipe dream for years. In 2020 I made the decision to change my path! I felt if I didn't do it right then, I never would. So, I took the leap (it was more like the least graceful step while stumbling and falling over my own feet). With the love and support of my husband and children, I did it! I have always been a firm believer that we possess the tools to heal and grow ourselves. With that belief I was always on a mission to "fix" myself. Figure out the how and the why I do things. (Major research when my kids were teenagers, trying to figure them out too!) I learned the power of our mind is extraordinary. When I learned and later experienced hypnotherapy I was left amazed. I was a new person. All the answers were laid in front of me. It gave me freedom from myself. I have not been the same since. Thank goodness! Before hypnotherapy, I lived with daily fear of rejection, fear of humiliation, I had a nasty inferiority complex, absolutely zero confidence, and I was trying to cope with the loss of my mom, then my dad a year later. I felt like I wasn't connected to anyone or anyplace. I was a shell of a person. When I say I experienced freedom, I did. I am free! Mostly, from myself. The false perceptions were so deeply engrained in me. Of course, I will always long for my mom and dad but I know I will see them again. Hypnotherapy allowed me to still love my mom and dad and talk about them without the sadness and grief. It was life changing. After my own experience, I felt I needed to share this with anyone and everyone who would listen! I remember thinking, "Everyone needs to do this," and "why would anyone spend months even years in therapy talking, talking and more talking and spending God knows how much money, taking medication and never get to the core issue!" I was baffled. It wasn't too long after that, I realized what I needed to do. I was going to become the Hypnotherapist so many people need. And I did. Except, one thing I absolutely refuse to do --
I will not charge the current session rate for Hypnotherapy. Should I? It's extremely hard work that I take very seriously. I have went to school, earned my license and I know my expertise and education can earn me top dollar. But If I do, I am elimanting opptunity for the majority of the population. I'm a realist, I know people can't afford it. I couldn't afford it! I know people live paycheck to paycheck & if there was extra remaining, there is always something more important. Fortunately, I was able to discover a way to make it work for me. So many just can't make it work. And I get that....
All people hurt, most people have issues, some have addictions, fears, some have been abused or neglected, leaving them stumbling through life. One day to the next with no hope or enjoyment. That's not living. That's just existing...
Have I been called crazy? Yes. Have I been told it's a mistake? Also, yes. Do I believe people will take advantage? Hoping not. In the end, it doesn't matter, because I'm doing it anyway. I became a Clincal Hypnotherapist so I could help people, not to earn a high six figure salary. Would that be nice? Absolutely! I love nice things and going on vacations. But it is not what drives me. Knowing someone is out their struggling with themselves, trapped in their own prison, knowing that I possess the skills to help, that is what drives me. I have helped clients with stress, anxiety, pain managment, grief & loss, fears, performance, motivation, confidence.... No issue is too small or too big to tackle! Every session has brought some kind of healing & a ton of awareness. It has brought such elation to my own life knowing I helped even one person see their world without the filters! It's an honor and a privledge that I can share my passion & purpose with so many! Let me show you your world with new, unfiltered eyes. You too can be amazed and live a completely beautiful & different life! I hope to meet you soon!
