Free At Last Hypnosis

I've been offering online hypnosis sessions for over a year. I use a professional version of software called Zoom. However, I also use Skype if some reason Zoom isn't available to a client. I prefer Zoom because I've found it more reliable than Skype, but the technology isn't important. Having a quiet and undisturbed environment for an online session is most important. You'll need a computer with webcam and microphone. I recommend headphones to get the best possible effect for the hypnosis portion of a session, but providing the room you're in is quiet and free of distractions headphones is not a must if not available. As regards the results there is no significant difference. It comes down to personal preference of the client. After all, it is my voice you're listening to in the hypnosis portion with your eyes closed, and this is the same whether I'm in the same room as you or not. Erika Slater CH

Excellent question... Hypnosis can help with a lot of challenges associated with habits and self-improvement. The obvious ones are to help quit smoking, weight loss, stress and anxiety, sleep problems, and gaining confidence and self-esteem, and of course all manner of phobias. Our unconscious minds controls our habits and hypnosis works by "talking" directly to the unconscious mind and creating new pathways that help bypass the existing habits causing negative outcomes. I have posted a detailed article about "what hypnosis can and cannot do and what it can help with" at the blog on my website. Enjoy the article.

Hypnotists and hypnotherapists don't usually take insurance and I don't. Some health insurance plans do offer reimbursement for stop smoking sessions so if this is important to you check with your plan first. You'll always receive a receipt for your session from me for your records which can be used for submission. But private therapeutic hypnotists are not equipped to submit insurance forms for you. If this is important for you then there are Clinical Psychologists who are also trained in hypnotherapy and these professionals are usually equipped to take insurance. If you live in my area I can refer you to some local psychologist professionals if that's your preference. Erika Slater CH

The Laser-Like Lipo service involves use of red-light therapy machine and helps for fat loss, skin tightening, and reducing cellulite. It is non-invasive, fast and helps to get you started on any weight loss journey. I offer hypnosis programs in conjunction with the Laser-like Lipo programs as a combination but the client chooses based on their desired outcomes. Erika Slater CH

Yes, hypnosis works. But... it doesn't work for everybody. Just as many medical procedures do not resolve all patient issues then the same is true of hypnosis. But to be fair my answer requires some further explanation... Hypnosis is not a magic pill or silver bullet therapy. It requires active participation of the client both in the session and outside using the resources provided by the hypnotist. I can't make you do anything you don't want to do. I also can't be responsible for your behavior outside your session. In my decades experience, the client's with the most success of achieving the outcomes they want - ex. Stop Smoking, Lose Weight - display the following attributes: highly motivated to achieve outcomes, fully participate in the sessions, follow directions faithfully in the session, use the resources provided outside the session. If you come to the hypnosis session with these mindsets then you improve your chances of achieving the outcome you desire. Erika Slater CH

This is a difficult question to answer as the hypnotist needs to evaluate the issue to be resolved, outcome desired, and challenges presented by each client. Some issues can be tackled in 1-2 sessions - such as Quit Smoking and Sugar Addiction. Other challenges require more sessions 4-6 or more - such as Weight Loss, Stress and Anxiety, and Self-Confidence. Erika Slater CH

Hypnosis conducted by a trained and certified hypnotist is considered a safe alternative and complimentary therapy. Adverse reactions to hypnosis are rare but there have been documented cases of headaches after a session, although this has never happened to my clients to my knowledge. People with a mental illness diagnosis, including anxiety disorders, should consult with their medical provider before seeking hypnosis as these conditions can interfere with the ability of the person to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

The cost of a hypnosis session generally depends on the experience of the hypnotist and how long the session lasts. Sessions generally range from 60 minutes to 2 hours, and can vary in price from $75 per session to $200+ or more. While I have a set fee for an individual session however long it lasts, for programs with multiple sessions I provide a discount for 4 or more sessions. Some of my programs such as Stop Smoking or Weight Loss are charged by program and not length of sessions. Erika Slater CH

The current Group Quit Smoking Session cost is posted at my website. There are a number of factors that go into the cost of my Private Stop Smoking Program and so I require a free consultation to cover it before quoting a price which includes a follow-up session if required. I will respectively add if price is the main consideration for choosing a hypnotist then you'll not find mine the cheapest program. I have 15-years of smoking cessation experience and this is reflected in the cost of my program which I still consider to be affordable when compared to the cost of continuing to smoke. Good Luck.

Can anyone be hypnotized? I use TM but find it difficult to concentrate. I’ve been diagnosed with a autoimmune disease… would like to know if this is a past life punishment

I provide a free consultation for all private appointments. For quit smoking clients this is usually done over the phone and lasts about 20 minutes. For weight loss clients this can be done over the phone or in office depending on your location. My weight loss consultations are in depth and take about an hour. Consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your goals and how I can help to determine if we are a good match for each other. This is important to ensure you get the results you're seeking and why I don't book appointments until we've had this discussion. Hope this helps. Erika Slater CH

This is a common question and the answer is no but... For my private stop smoking programs I offer a follow-up session within six weeks of the session if needed. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee the behavior of my clients in between sessions like they can't guarantee their kids behavior. I also find that guarantees are more a marketing gimmick than substance as those who offer it expect most people not to follow-up to redeem what they paid. I don't play those games. Erika Slater CH
