What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an altered state of mind that bypasses the conscious mind and allows direct access to the subconscious. It allows the critical area to be put aside and objectivity to be obtained. Hypnosis occurs in every person just 5 seconds before going into the sleep state. In hypnosis we prolong this brief interlude so that we can work within its perimeters to accomplish goals.

What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?

Hypnosis is simply a very relaxed state that feels familiar because it is familiar. Besides experiencing it before falling asleep, we also experience it when daydreaming, and often when driving with our minds on something else. Have you ever been so preoccupied with something that you didn't hear someone calling your? Reading, watching films and doing hobbies can all create naturally occurring trances. Your mind is fully aware, you will hear everything that goes on and you will be able to communicate. You will find hypnosis to be a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Testimonial:

"My hypnotic experience with Kristyne Dahl was extraordinary.  I had smoked for 27 years, and tried on many occasions to quit the habit.  Each time I did, I experienced terrible withdrawal symptoms,  which subsequently resulted in my failure to win the battle.  After only one session with Kristyne, I walked out of her office a non-smoker.  I went back two days later for another session, and I haven't looked back.  I have had no withdrawal symptoms at all.  It was so easy!!"
