Gaia Natural Therapies is pleased to announce the addition of Client-Centered Hypnotherapy to Deirdre’s therapeutic repertoire. We believe strongly in assisting our clients to find their own unique path to heal and Hypnosis has proven to be the perfect compliment to our offerings.

Client-Centered Hypnotherapy is best described as a positive and pleasing state of relaxation combined with the use of beneficial suggestions or statements purposely designed to bring forth positive changes to the thoughts, words and actions of the person undergoing therapy.

As a result, clients can experience a desired cognitive or behavioral change, allowing them to experience a positive feelings of relaxation and being more in control. Client-Centered Hypnotherapy (hypnosis) is simply a process whereas the client access’ the natural trance state of being where the mind is more receptive and open to positive suggestions. This state of being everyone experiences many times a day, for example when we are absorbed by a good book, a piece of music and lose all track of time or space.  Therapeutic Hypnosis is not about tricks or mind control! You, as the client will always be in control of your session. A hypnotist cannot make you do something that you do not want to do in a hypnotic state.

Our clients have described the experience as feeling deeply relaxed, like meditation – some have said “it was like a spa for my mind”.  You may feel as if you are drifting in and out of a deep relaxed state of consciousness during the session, and will always return refreshed and awake. A few clients have responded that they prefer hypnosis over other complementary therapies because  of it’s effectiveness, and that it can be achieved remotely over Zoom.
