About Joan

Benefiting from the amazing results of hypnotherapy herself, Joan wanted to help others use their unique abilities to heal themselves.

“I spent thirty years traveling the world as a professional photographer, capturing images to communicate emotions, situations and of course, beauty to the viewer. I use this same creative skill to listen deeply to my client’s words and weave together distinctive individual sessions allowing them to see and believe in their own unique beauty and capability.”

HYPNOSIS ACTUALLY HAS A LOT IN COMMON WITH PHOTOGRAPHY

Both rely heavily on imagery and all the power AND beauty of the subconscious mind.

Imagery is the language if the subconscious mind. In hypnosis the client sees/senses/feel themselves in new and different ways. The subconscious must feel differently, in order for change to occur.

Joan's client based hypnotherapy approach is holistic, addressing the iphysical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs of her clients.

Photographers see things differently and her clients enjoy the engaging and effective nature of the process, experiencing significant transformations. With her creative and flexible approach, combined with extensive training, she consistently delivers tangible results, making each session both impactful and enlightening.

HYPNOSIS ACTUALLY HAS A LOT IN COMMON WITH PHOTOGRAPHY

Images move us in special ways and all our thoughts create images, which become the language of the subconscious. Photographers see things differently. They are trained to notice the details. Joan takes her clients on visual journeys in their mind. She's like the summer camp director we all had that helped us notice all the beautiful things along the hiking trail, instead of the mud and sticks and bugs.

I think what sets her apart from other hypnotherapists is that she can take both a practical and a cerebral approach. Joan taps into the visual centers of the brain and guides her clients through the flow of their thoughts. A message usually manifests from that imagery and can shift perspective right away. When people work with Joan, they see big, live changes. She gets results. I believe that Joan being a photographer prior to being a hypnotherapist, has helped her do this.
