Frequently Asked Questions

Working With Me

How did you become an Intuitive Hypnotherapist?


My defining moment came in 2012, when my first son was born. I was 27, and up until then I had always had a full time job that I was usually indifferent about, and made sure I had enough to pay my bills regardless of what it took from my time, energy, and state of mind.
When I became a mom, the thought of going back to that after 6 weeks of maternity leave was completely devastating. Right then and there I decided I was done with that way of life and instead, I was going to finally find my passion and do something I loved doing, that would allow me to spend as much time as I wanted with this brand new tiny human.
While I had always had an interest in the subconscious and the untapped power of the mind, I had no idea what I was getting into, and how many lives I would be able to positively impact. Seeing the amazing shifts I’m able to help my clients make is irreplaceable, and I can’t imagine spending my life doing anything else.
I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping others align with their dreams and achieve their through my 1:1 private programs, digital products, and my YouTube channel.
Since my extensive training and certification in 2012, I’ve worked with thousands of private clients, spoken in front of countless groups, and taken proven techniques to create my private programs that allow you to hone in on what’s holding you back, release it, and achieve your goals, in record time.

How are you different from other “mindset coaches”?


Although I consider myself a mindset coach and expert, I am first and foremost a hypnotherapist. I have extensive clinical training to help you actually create new neuro-pathways and thought connections that facilitate positive, lasting change in all areas of your life. While we we will talk about things & create plans for you to get where you’re going, my work goes much, much deeper than that… to the source.
My approach combines intuition, behavioral science, and spirituality. My qualifications allow me to incorporate many techniques with my clients, including hypnotherapy, manifestation, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), handwriting analysis, Human Design, tarot/oracle reading, enneagram, epigenetics, Reiki, and more to give you much more in your experience than traditional coaching.
Simply put; working with me, you are deciding how you want to think, what you want to believe, and aligning your mind accordingly to achieve your goals. What you get with me is no-nonsense, undiluted expertise & techniques that get you results (and I throw in a healthy dose of compassion, humor and encouragement, which ALWAYS helps!).

What types of personalities do you work best with, and what is expected of your clients?


I work with individuals and entrepreneurs just like you who know exactly how they want their life to look; however, have something in their mind stopping them or standing their way. This can show up in many ways, but here are a few:
  • Self-Sabotage
  • Feelings of Unworthiness
  • Procrastination
  • Perfectionism
  • Impatience/Frustration
  • Overwhelm/Defeat
  • Limiting Beliefs re: Money/Success
  • Self-Doubt/Worry

My 1:1 private programs were created specifically for people who are absolutely excited and deadly serious about achieving their ultimate goal or vision. They were created for you start seeing positive results FAST (usually within a few weeks!), which will eventually give you the ability to align your mind with any idea that you wish (more confidence, ideal body, habit control, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination). The mindset shifts you will experience with working with me are life-long changes that you can carry with you forever.
That said, being a high achieving go-getter myself, I’m known to work best with other high achieving go-getters who are super-ready to begin and just want to know exactly what steps to take to get free of their blocks. Consider what you’ll do with me to be an action-learning course. You will be expected to take serious and consistent action. No excuses anymore, just a very different way of thinking and full support while you achieve your incredibly exciting goal: to finally be free what what’s holding you back from your dream life!

Are there any types of people you do NOT work with?


Please know I’m pretty selective in who I work with, and tend to cherry-pick my clients, choosing to gently turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and who probably won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for, which obviously wouldn’t be fair to them.
In order for me to do my best work, which in turn gets the best results for the client, I choose not to work with those who are currently (medically) diagnosed with a mental illness, severe anxiety or depression, are currently addicted to drugs or alcohol. These conditions are out of scope for my services unless under medical referral, and could also offset the effectiveness of hypnosis and possibly diminish results.
Another type of person I cannot work with, without exception, is the hard skeptic, as well as individuals who consistently make excuses for not doing the work, or challenging every aspect of our work together. While it’s not often I come into contact with these people, if this sounds like something you’d do, I gently and respectfully ask that you not apply and I hope you understand why. Hypnosis will simply not work for you until you are completely willing and open to give it a real shot, and I wouldn’t want you to waste your time or money.

What do your 1:1 programs include? What results can I expect?


Achieving any goal is simply about getting your subconscious working with your conscious, so that 100% of your mind power is focused on the achievement of that goal. That’s what my work does for you. Working with me, you can expect to:
  • Get completely unique & tailored hypnotic journeys to fit your specific needs
  • Get crystal clear on what your goals are and why they are important to you
  • Discover the subconscious thought and behavioral patterns that are impacting how you operate, and learn how to positively shift them
  • Learn tools to practice outside sessions to speed up your progress and keep you in a positive, high-vibe mindset
  • Begin stepping into your absolute best self, while enjoying your life and business even more than you do now!
  • Get your subconscious & conscious mind working together to align with your vision
  • Create new neurological pathways that make success an automatic next step for you
  • Be 100% supported and lifted up during your journey to success
  • Gain spiritual insight and reconnect to your own intuition and soul being
  • Get deep reflection practices weekly to better understand your core being and mark your progress
  • Transform your mindset & change the way you think to create LASTING CHANGE!

How quickly can I expect results? Do people ever re-up?


Work done between myself and my clients is a co-creative process, and is unique to each individual. That said, during my years to experience, I have found that most clients see lasting transformation within 9 to 12 sessions.
A study by Alfred A. Barrios, PhD., which was later reprinted in American Health Magazine, revealed the following success rates:
SOURCE: Comparative study by Alfred A. Barrios, PhD.; later reprinted in American Health Magazine. I currently offer 1:1 programs of 9 and 12 sessions, with my 12 week being the program in which an overwhelming majority of my clients see lasting change and success (which is obviously also largely determined by my client's desire to modify a behavior and how they are able to handle the subconscious mind’s need for resistance).
While my 12 session program is perfectly crafted to get you the results you desire for your major goals, I will say most of my clients choose to continue hypnotherapy beyond 12 weeks once they see what’s possible!

How can I guarantee myself that I will get my desired outcome from my hypnotherapy program?


This one’s simple:1) Just stay honest with yourself (and with me). As we progress with different therapeutic techniques, let me know what works for you, and what does not.2) Do the exercises I may give you between sessions.3) Allow yourself to remain focused and excited about your new amazing life!4) Stay open to the process, and honor any feelings that come up.5) Understand that while this is much quicker than most therapies and techniques, it is by no means a “quick fix”; it’s not magic, and it takes time for you to plant all the seeds and for those seeds to grow into the fruit that you can enjoy.
All my clients who have gone into this process hopeful and open have successfully achieved their objectives (and usually more) in much less time than they would have on their own.

Lynnsey, based on everything I’ve read and heard about you, I know you’re the one I want to work with. What are my options for getting started with you?


I currently offer session programs of 9 and 12 sessions. During my years of experience and client feedback, I've found that 12 sessions is the most favorable amount for you to walk away from our work together having successfully resolved at least one main concern (but likely more), as well as having embodied the ideal version of yourself whose internal subconscious programming has been realigned, optimized and upgraded for lasting, positive change.
It's also not uncommon for clients to continue sessions for months and years once they see the countless benefits hypnotherapy offers!
Your greatest transformation (and greatest savings) will come from my 12 session program.

OK, I know which program I want. How do we get started?


Great! Did you know that one of the most prominent characteristics of successful people is that they *take action*?
They take educated risks, are decisive, and they move forward towards success faster as a direct result of this.

About Hypnotherapy

What is Hypnosis & how does it work?


Hypnosis is a natural state that we as humans experience everyday.
  • Driving somewhere but can't remember doing so,
  • Getting lost in your favorite book or movie,
  • That dreamy, floaty feeling right before you fall asleep/wake,

These are all examples of the various states of hypnosis that we drift into and out of all day, everyday.
Hypnosis is defined simply as a heightened state of focus in which the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, peaceful state. The subconscious mind remains very alert and receptive to positive suggestions for change. In this state, one is able to focus intensely on a specific thought, memory, feeling or sensation while blocking out distractions. My focus as a Hypnotherapist is to guide you into this heightened receptive state, where you can begin to re-train your subconscious mind to make positive improvements in your life.

Will I lose control of my mind or body?


NO! You still have free will in hypnosis. You cannot say or do anything that is against your morals or core beliefs. You cannot be hypnotized against your will. Therapeutic hypnosis is used to improve your health and well-being, and is different from stage hypnosis which is used for entertainment purposes only. Hypnosis is not a control state, it is a complacent, fully relaxed state for the mind and body to examine and shift it's behavior and perspective in life.

What does hypnosis feel like?


When you enter a state of hypnosis, it will likely feel familiar to you, since your body already knows how to do it and experiences it daily anyway. Hypnosis feels different for everyone, but the general consensus is a wonderful, deeply relaxed and calm feeling of the mind and body. You're breathing gets deeper and heavier, you may experience a soft tingling sensation or warmth throughout your body.
It's so nice to experience that many clients are reluctant to come out of this state once they are in, because it feels so wonderfully relaxing!

Can everyone be hypnotized?


YES! The only requirement is that the person must want to experience hypnosis and give consent because, as mentioned before, no one can be hypnotized against their will. That said, every person is a unique individual. Therefore, how you will be hypnotized must cater to your specific individuality. You do not take in information the same way as others do, so you will not respond to the same hypnosis techniques that others do.
My job is to find out how you take in information, or your suggestibility, in order to give you the most fulfilling and effective hypnotic experience. The most important thing to remember is that a client must want to receive hypnosis in order for it to be effective.
All that being said, some people still may feel they are unable to be hypnotized. Under hypnosis, your mind may wander. You may wonder if you locked the door, or what you will eat for dinner tonight, for instance; but this is completely normal. Even though you may not feel hypnotized, your subconscious is still being accessed and will pick up everything that is said under hypnosis.

Will I remember past trauma?


Even well-trained Hypnotherapists will very rarely use an “age regression" technique to uncover subconscious traumatic memories. It is simply not necessary to go "digging around" in the mind to find unhappy or traumatic memories, and often creates more harm than healing for the client after the fact. More important is to take the person you are today, no matter how you got here, and create the positive change you desire to have the life you want, releasing the effects that a past experience may have caused.
This is different, however, than Past Life Regression therapy, which takes the client through another life they may have lived in the distant past. This practice is a fairly common request from clients, mostly due to simple curiosity, but in some cases, it can release a phobia or phantom unexplained pain the client may suffer from. Unlike age regression, this practice poses no potential for emotional harm to the client.

Will I be asleep during hypnosis?


Although the word "hypnosis" is of Greek origin meaning a “sleep-like state,” you will not be asleep or unconscious. During a hypnotherapy session, you are very aware of your surroundings, but you are so relaxed and focused, you may chose to ignore all other distractions. Most people will consciously remember most, if not all events under hypnosis. Some will remember only certain parts. Then there are those that will not consciously remember much, or any part of the session (this is one reason it may be useful to ask for a recording of the session). Even though you may not consciously remember the work accomplished in a session, your subconscious will have picked up every bit of it. You may find that the suggestions given under hypnosis will resurface consciously at any point after the session, positively changing your behavior and reminding you that you are on a path of success.

How many sessions will it take to get my desired results?


I currently offer session programs of 9 and 12 sessions. Over my 13+ years of experience and client feedback, I've found that 12 sessions is the most favorable amount for you to walk away from our work together having successfully resolved at least one main concern (but likely more), as well as having embodied the ideal version of yourself whose internal subconscious programming has been realigned, optimized and upgraded for lasting, positive change.
It's also not uncommon for clients to continue sessions for months and years once they see the countless benefits hypnotherapy offers!
Your greatest transformation (and most value) will come from my 12 session program.
