How It Works
Hypnotherapy - Fast And Effective. Hypnosis is a normal, natural state of mind that we all drift into and out of each and every day without being aware of it. Hypnotherapy is a straight path to the subconscious mind, where all your habit patterns and limitations are. By removing your subconscious obstacles you will gain greater control in your life and increase your ability to experience happiness.
Triumph Over Fears and Phobias
Overcoming fears and phobias is something that almost all of us have been challenged with at some time in our lives. Many fears and phobias are mild to moderate, and can often be overcome without maximum effort. However, lingering and severe fears or phobias are set deep in the subconscious mind and can become impossible to conquer using only conscious effort and will power. Hypnosis is known as the straight pathway to the subconscious mind, where all of our habits, limitations and obstacles reside. At Sacramento Hypnotherapy our skilled hypnotherapists allow you to let go of and overcome fears and phobias in a relaxed state, putting the power of your mind to work for you. By removing your subconscious obstacles you will gain greater control in your life and increase your ability to experience happiness.

End Insomnia
Although bouts of insomnia normally come and go, it can easily get out of hand and become a chronic pattern. Just like when someone tells you not to think of something but you end up thinking about it anyway, trying to force yourself to sleep will only worsen your chances of getting a good night's rest. Of course, our society has come to terms with the growing problem of insomnia, developing ways and drugs to help facilitate sleep. This just goes to show that insomnia is a big problem that afflicts many—just look at the market for sleeping pills and you'll see how large of a problem insomnia really is. However, you may already know that sleeping pills and other sleep-inducing medications come with significant risks and addictive properties.
Hypnotherapy and its power over insomnia
Hypnotherapy refers to the combination of hypnosis and relaxation, which are essentially the key elements in falling asleep. Without intervention, it's next to impossible to fall asleep when you're feeling tense and anxious. Learning to relax both physically and mentally is something that you will have to do in order to fall asleep quickly, and that's exactly what hypnotherapy facilitates Hypnotherapy allows you to take control of how your brain works and induce sleep. Even the use of sleeping pills relies on some belief that they will work-this is called a placebo effect. When you think about how the sleeping pill will help you fall asleep, your subconscious will believe the pill's effect. At Sacramento Hypnotherapy we assist you to relax your mind and body and condition your brain to finally quieting down for a night's rest. Take control of your insomnia today by contacting Sacramento Therapy and sending us an inquiry on hypnotherapy at (916) 549-5109. We are more than happy to design for you a tailor-made hypnotherapy program that will solve your sleeping problems.

An analysis of 18 studies by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York revealed moderate to large pain-relieving effects from hypnosis, solidly supporting the effectiveness of hypnotherapy techniques for pain management.

Testimonials
Peaceful Sleep is Now Possible Again
“Before hypnotherapy, I was having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep since I had a miscarriage three years ago. After just one session, I didn’t feel like I was trying to sleep, but I went to sleep right away and stayed asleep all night, and have ever since. I originally went to hypnotherapy for anxiety, and when I found myself in a situation that would have normally caused me anxiety, I noticed that I was no longer anxious. I wasn’t trying to be calm, it just happened automatically. Michelle has a really soothing voice and it’s really easy to feel comfortable being in hypnosis.”
Britt Harmon
I Highly Recommend Michelle
“I started working with Michelle to help support my weight loss efforts. From the beginning, Michelle was so inviting and emotionally receptive. We would spend the first part of our session just talking and connecting; exploring how I was feeling, what I was doing and what I might need to help me continue to reach my goals. I new immediately I had made a good choice in getting her support. And I was right; the weight loss came. Through Michelle’s guidance my mind was given the space and the safety to explore and discover the mental and emotional blocks I had and to learn what tools I needed to allow myself to shed the weight. Each session produced more and more healing within myself and I gained the ability to use that energy in times of need outside the sessions. What I didn’t expect was gaining so many other insights about myself, the most powerful of which was ultimately self-love and acceptance. I don’t know if I ever really felt that before, complete acceptance of myself, flaws and all. But it’s pretty powerful stuff! I highly recommend Michelle. She is like taking in a big breath of fresh air…her energy is light and open and her instructions perfectly guided. She gives you the room you need for self-exploration and the tools to actualize self-clarity. I know she was meant to do this work AND she knows she was meant to do this work. It is intuitive for her. And for that I am very thankful!”
Janel
This experience was priceless
“Over the last few years the state of my mental health has become my main focus as depression and anxiety began ruling my life. Every day began feeling heavier than the last and each minute a battle to conserve energy. I read every self- help book I could get my hands on and turned to spirituality, but for some reason it was not working. After having my baby I knew things had to change. I was not going to be able to have the time or energy to fight the depression anymore. I had spent years trying to organize and reorganize my life to balance just so that the depression would stay in check, but it would no longer be possible with a baby. I was afraid to go on medication, afraid of the potential side effects. So I began researching my different options. I had done traditional therapy in the past and it had only temporarily helped with my depression. All of my past traumas and negative experiences continued to dominate my thoughts. That is when I reached out and decided to try something new. I went to my first hypnotherapy appointment and after only 8 sessions my life has completely changed. My approach to life has become colorful again and creative. I no longer feel ruled by the past, but looking forward again to the future. My favorite part was that I did not have to talk during sessions if I did not want to, there was no rehashing of traumatizing life events. Now, I cannot remember the last time I felt anxious or depressed. I can look down at my baby and feel the pure joy of being a mother. This experience was priceless. Thank you Maude. “
