Hypnosis is a helpful collaborative step in rebuilding and creating the life you want.

Hypnosis is the utilization of what may be considered to be the most powerful computer in the world – your inner computer – your subconscious mind. We sometimes unwittingly, or not, misuse that power to reinforce our unhelpful habits, our fears or worries …. Would you like to redirect it to a more positive end, enhance your own natural restorative and coping abilities?

Completely safe, rendering no side effects, hypnosis aids you to be the person you were born to be. In addition, you may experience a state of greater relaxation and peace in daily life. It can help facilitate better stress management and support your goal of changing of negative mental habits into more positive and productive thought patterns.

That Invisible Hurdle

Most of us know what we ‘should’ stop doing. Yet, we’re still doing it – and can’t seem to stop – regardless of how hard we try, how much we think about it. That invisible hurdle between you and what you want to be doing seems immovable. At the Wellness Centre, we help people ‘get out of their own way’.

*I can't thank you enough for helping me to stop smoking. I now feel like a non-smoker; that's a big change from feeling like smoker who has quit yet again. After only one hypnotherapy session together with listening to your CD for the past three weeks, I know in my healthier heart that I am a non-smoker for the rest of my life. Truly a breath of fresh air!

*For almost 47 years, I've had a fear of being confined. It was only through a hypnosis session with you that I understood its origin. With your gentle voice, I regressed and re-experienced a past life - and interestingly, although the conditions were terse, I didn't feel fear or pain during the session. I was a witness to myself - as though watching a movie. Now, when I feel that same fear, which seldom happens now, I send love to myself and the feeling dissipates. The panic that once accompanied the fear drains into the earth and I feel safe. What an incredible healing. Thank you, Wendy. I would not have trusted anyone else.

*Your hypnosis worked miracles! Yes, I experienced what I consider normal before-singing apprehension/ butterflies, but no different than when I perform my own music. However, my anxiety during both nights - at the dress rehearsal and at the performance - was greatly reduced. Just before I began to sing, I told myself to remain calm and relax, and enjoy the experience. I didn't get that all-too-familiar tightening and the feeling that I had no voice or breath. In the interim, I will continue to do the self-hypnosis for the remaining 20 days, but I'm estatic by the results I have now. It was a pleasure working with you. By the way, my husband is really surprised at how calm I seem in general. Thank you so much.

Smoking Cessation

How does Hypnosis help with Smoking Cessation?

Hypnosis is a very helpful tool for Smoking Cessation. This is done through suggestions that your subconscious mind responds to in a positive way to make the changes you desire. The Subconscious is the part of your mind that controls the habit, something like how a CPU stores the computer programs responsible for its function.

Why become a non-smoker? Consider the following potential benefits :

Dear Wendy,

Thank you so much for all of your help. Hypnosis has changed my life in so many positive ways. For the first time in years I can honestly say that I feel free and wonderful because I am non-smoker for life. Your smoking cessation program has allowed me to quit smoking without the use of drugs or nicotine replacement products. I have been able to quit cold turkey little to no side effects. The usual cravings, which can be incapacitating, were very minor and easily overcome. The post hypnotic suggestions you provided helped to keep me focused and relaxed whenever I felt like I wanted a cigarette. Weight gain is another negative aspect of quitting smoking that I have always suffered from in the past. With hypnosis I did not replace food for cigarettes and after three months have actually begun to lose weight! I have also been able to bring the self-hypnosis you taught me into all aspects of my life. It is a wonderful stress-reliever and is so quick and easy that it can be done anywhere at any time. Thank you for helping me to become a healthier, happier person Wendy. For the first time I feel fully prepared to face the challenges of remaining a non-smoker for life. Hypnosis has done that for me where no other method could do. Yours Truly, ~ K.M., Arnprior, Ontario

Weight Control

Hypnosis can help with your weight loss goal. Hypnosis helps to speed up the change.

Lose Weight, Take Control…

In session, you will receive help with your physical hunger and mental appetite, your willpower and your lifestyle, to mention a few. Hypnosis is neither a “quick fix” nor a “magic pill”. You still have to participate by choosing healthy foods that support your weight loss goals, drinking plenty of water, and exercising. Your commitment will be supported and strengthened during your hypnotic sessions.

The focus of the program is behaviour adjustment with a slow steady reduction in weight, as opposed to the usual diet programs that encourage yo-yo results.

Why diets don't work…

No amount of will power exerted by the conscious mind can override the subconscious mind for any extended period of time. Diets tend to be used as a temporary measure that will be discarded once the magic number displays on the scale, until the will power fails, or a celebratory season arrives.

Why 'weight' any longer! Call for your appointment today.

I saw Wendy in 2013 for help with emotional eating. I had been trying to lose weight for years without success. With Wendy’s help I was able to lose the weight and keep it off. I still enjoy my treats from time to time, but the compulsion is gone and I can make a conscious decision before I indulge. I still listen to the hypnosis tape Wendy gave me several times a week and find it to be a wonderful tool for clearing my mind and getting to a deep state of relaxation. Getting help from Wendy is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. ~ Linda from Ottawa

Past Life Journeys

“People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

– Albert Einstein

A past life journey. Is it real? For a growing number of people it is. By delving into a past life many have uncovered —what has been… to bring insight to the present and profoundly affect their future. Beyond the joy of personal discovery, past life revelations can help resolve today’s life challenges through the release of pain, illness, stress, fears and blocked emotions. Discovering the past can manifest a clearer —life flow… in the here and now and enhance personal empowerment.…” – Georgina Cannon, author of —The Return… and facilitator of the 3 part television special —Past Life Investigation… on CBC.

Everything You Need to Know

Hypnosis is a natural, normal state of mind that allows access to your subconscious mind. Used professionally, Hypnosis can help reduce stress, address pain management, help with fears, unresourceful habits, and help you create your success... If you want it to happen. Hypnosis is a procedure that can be helpful to effect changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, feelings or behaviours.

…a natural, normal state of mind we often slip into in our daily lives.
…a state of heightened susceptibility to suggestion.
…a natural state of deep physical and mental relaxation, and intensified concentration. This state of physical and mental relaxation and intensified concentration allows the subconscious mind to be more open to suggestions and to focus on the desired goals. The suggestions are designed to cater to the various ways in which your subconscious mind processes information to better assist you with your desired outcome.

… sleep, NOT a state of unconsciousness, NOT a loss of control to someone else. You are always in control. You can hear and be aware of everything that is going on around you. You can think, itch, scratch, talk and make decisions. While under hypnosis you will not say or do anything that you wouldn't normally do or say nor give any secrets away. There is no way you will violate your own private sense of morality or propriety.

Your conscious mind is the critical filter which filters or edits processed information traveling from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind. Under Hypnosis, you allow the conscious mind to observe rather than interfere.

Let us begin by looking at what people want. Would you like to enjoy better health? Be happier? Experience the satisfaction of a more successful life? Improved relationships?

Hypnosis can help to assist with inner strength, help in surviving adversities and help to improve ourselves in ways that assist in leading fuller, richer lives. How would it feel to create the reality you desire? How would it feel to have more energy, better health, success and happiness?

You feel relaxed. At ease. You can hear everything, think, itch, scratch, talk and make decisions. You can also choose to come out of trance at any time. You are always in control. You will not do or say anything that you would not normally do or say. There is no way you will violate your own private sense of morality or propriety or give any secrets away.

No. There is no possible way for this to happen. If for some reason the Hypnotist leaves the room or is interrupted, you will gently come out of trance, just as you do each morning coming out of sleep.

Yes. You will hear everything around you and be aware of what is going on at all times. In fact your senses may become heightened.

The first session is usually 1 1/2 hours subsequent sessions are about 1 hour. Your goals are discussed with the hypnotist and the induction script is prepared. You are gently hypnotized into a trance state. Suggestions are given to your subconscious mind to make the positive changes you desire. When appropriate, you are also taught a simple self hypnosis technique and provided with a Hynpotic recording so that your treatment can continue at home. You emerge from the hypnotic state feeling relaxed and energized.
