The blog
Plain writing about how the mind works.
No mystique and no jargon. What hypnosis actually is, what a session feels like from the inside, and the thinking behind the methods I use.
Everything else
Shorter pieces and specific questions, added as they come up in sessions.
- Reflection From pain to purpose and freedom Underneath the suffering, hidden in it, is a quiet opportunity. It never feels that way at the time, but the thing that hurts is often the thing holding the key. Read →
- Going inward Love and joy are on the inside. Go in... We look for love and joy in relationships, in possessions, in the right house and the right body. The search runs outward from the day we are born and never quite arrives. Read →
- Change your story The story we tell ourselves Same words, same characters, same ending, told last thing at night and picked up again on waking. Why the story repeats, and what it takes to write a different one. Read →

- Mind & body How held emotion works on the body Mind and body move like two dancers: when one stumbles, the other follows. That mechanism in plain terms, because understanding it is the beginning of interrupting it. Read →
- Stress & the body Understanding stress, and finding your way back to balance Stress is not what happens to you, it is what your body does about what happens. That is better news than it sounds, because a response can be retrained. Read →
- Understanding anxiety Anxiety: what it is, and what it does to you Anxiety is not a flaw in your character. It is an alarm system doing its job too well and too often. What it is for, how it shows up in the body, and why knowing that takes its power away. Read →
- Understanding hypnosis Hypnosis & how it works You have almost certainly been in a light trance already today. What the hypnotic state actually is, why it is nothing like a stage show, and what it feels like from the inside. Read →
Reading is a fine place to start
When you would rather ask than read, the discovery call is free and fifteen minutes long. Nothing is decided on it.
