What to Expect
Trying hypnotherapy for the first time? Here is what your first session looks like, plus answers to the questions we hear most often.
Your First Session, Step by Step
01
Reach out
Call, text, or send us a message. We will answer your questions and find a time that works, in Corona, Riverside, or online.
02
Talk about your goals
We start by getting to know you: what brings you in, what you would like to change, and what has or has not worked before.
03
Experience hypnosis
You will be guided into a relaxed, focused state. You stay aware and in control the whole time, and you can pause or stop whenever you like.
04
Leave with a plan
We talk about how the session felt, share tools you can practice between visits, and agree on next steps together.
