What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a guided process that helps you access a focused, relaxed state where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to positive change. It can help uncover and shift beliefs, habits, emotional patterns, and automatic responses that may be keeping you stuck.

What does hypnosis feel like?
Most people describe hypnosis as feeling deeply relaxed, calm, and focused. You may feel similar to the state between being awake and asleep, while remaining aware of your surroundings. Everyone experiences hypnosis a little differently.

Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis is not mind control. You remain aware and in control throughout the entire session. You cannot be made to do, say, or believe anything against your values or wishes.

Can everyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience hypnosis when they are willing, open, and able to follow simple guidance. Hypnosis is a collaborative process rather than something done to you.

What can hypnotherapy help with?
Clients often seek hypnotherapy for:

• Stress and overwhelm

• Burnout recovery

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?

Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is considered a safe, non-invasive modality when facilitated by a trained professional. It is designed to support personal growth, mindset shifts, and habit change.

Can hypnotherapy replace medical or mental health treatment?
No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary wellness service and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace medical, psychological, or psychiatric care.

What is somatic coaching?
Somatic coaching focuses on the connection between the mind and body. Rather than only talking about challenges, we explore how stress, emotions, experiences, and behavioral patterns show up physically so you can create awareness, resilience, and meaningful change.

What does somatic coaching look like?
Sessions may include guided reflection, body awareness exercises, mindfulness practices, movement, breathwork, and practical tools that help you better understand your responses and patterns.

Do I need to have experience with mindfulness or bodywork?
Not at all. Somatic coaching is accessible to beginners and experienced clients alike. Everything is guided at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.

Is somatic coaching therapy?
No. Somatic coaching is not psychotherapy. It is a coaching and personal development approach that helps you build awareness, identify patterns, and create practical change.

How many somatic coaching sessions will I need?
Some clients gain valuable insight from a single session, while others choose ongoing coaching support to create lasting transformation and accountability.

What makes somatic coaching different from traditional coaching?Many coaching approaches focus primarily on mindset and strategy. Somatic coaching also includes the body's wisdom, helping you recognize patterns that may be operating beneath conscious awareness and creating change that feels more integrated and sustainable.

Are sessions available in person or online?
Yes. Sessions are available both in-person at the Old Town Lafayette studio and virtually.

What happens during a session?
Every session is customized to your goals and may include discussion, coaching, guided exercises, hypnotherapy, somatic practices, or a combination of modalities depending on your needs.

What should I do before my appointment?
Arrive with an open mind and a willingness to explore. Comfortable clothing, hydration, and a few moments of quiet before your session can help you get the most from the experience.

What if I've never done anything like this before?
You're in good company. Many clients come in feeling curious, skeptical, or unsure of what to expect. Sessions are designed to be welcoming, supportive, and tailored to your experience level.

Do I have to choose a specific massage style when booking?

How often should I get a massage?The answer depends on your goals. Some clients benefit from monthly maintenance sessions, while others choose more frequent visits during periods of increased stress, training, recovery, or focused wellness goals. Together, we'll create a schedule that supports your needs.

What should I wear to my massage appointment?
Wear whatever feels comfortable. You'll be professionally draped throughout the session, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your comfort, privacy, and sense of safety are always a priority.

Will massage hurt?
Massage should never feel like something you have to endure. While therapeutic work can occasionally involve moments of intensity, communication is encouraged throughout the session to ensure pressure remains productive and comfortable.

What if I only want to relax?
Perfect. Not every session needs to focus on problem areas or corrective work. Many clients book simply because they want dedicated time to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.

Is massage a luxury or part of wellness?
