"As I worked with Kristin my life began to change and I could feel stress and worry dissolve away. I felt confident about myself - I realized I didn't have to feel limited or in fear and I didn't have to be someone I thought I "should" be. I could  fulfill what had value and meaning to me. She helped me feel great about myself and my life!"

Guided Imagery and Visualizations

This is a very simple, safe and comfortable way to communicate with your deeper consciousness. You move into a state of relaxation, centered and focused on the inner self. It is a powerful technique of using guided imagery that provides the ability to utilize an inner, visual environment. The images tell a story about you that resides beneath conscious thinking, containing thoughts and feelings your conscious is unaware of or does not clearly understand. The subconscious communicates through symbolism - a “universal language” that helps with understanding your thoughts and feelings. With deep relaxation the veil separating the conscious from the subconscious lifts then, with the techniques of visualization and hypnosis, I help you see and understand more clearly what thoughts, perceptions and beliefs are playing a part in how you experience and interact in life, allowing you to create your new, healthier, more well-defined self, desires and goals.
With Guided Imagery, I help you break down barriers, to understand and clear away what has been blocking your happiness, success, fulfillment and peace.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction Techniques

Most of us can personally identify with the automatic, instinctive reflex to sit down and take slow, deep breaths in times of stress. It is an unconscious response to feelings of heightened anxiety, fear and worry. Using simple relaxation techniques can completely change your experience of life. Relaxation alters you physically, chemically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  It affects your muscles, your nervous system, and oxygen flow. Relaxation relieves stress, anxiety and fear and releases endorphins through the system, a natural pain-killer that comforts and energizes.  Relaxation can help with lessening the extensiveness of physical injury and supports your ability to feel more in control as well as increasing mental clarity, creativity and intuition.

Pain Management

Hypnotherapy develops a strong, open and direct connection to your physical being giving you the power to effect physical health and well-being. You learn wonderful and easy techniques that can substantially lessen your experience of pain. You will work on deep levels of your subconscious in order to activate the powerful, self-healing process and also release certain fears and perceptions that are stored as unconscious, automatic thinking. You have the capacity to effect your body with an amazing force to heal and manage discomfort and pain. 
                                                               The Powerful Mind/Body Connection

There is a direct and continuous correlation between the mind and the body, one constantly affecting the other. The condition of the mind and body will ‘express itself’ through the other. Emotions easily manifest in the body. You can help heal the body quite effectively through understanding the emotions involved.

In turn, a physical condition can intensely affect our mental and emotional state.
Pain and illness can cause deep depression, anxiety, stress, fear and loss. These emotions will deplete the body of its healing process rather than strengthen and support it. Painful conditions permeate into every area of our life and alter the sense of security, confidence and trust.
Pain can diminish our ability to experience feelings of fulfillment, comfort, satisfaction and joy.

Addressing your thoughts and emotions while looking at your physical issues will help us cope positively and will better support your body's healing process. It is essential for you to understand what you are going through and learn how to handle the difficulties and challenges in a successful and positive way.
