Private Sessions
You came here carrying something. Your body already knows what it is. What happens in this room is the work of letting it be known, without being rushed and without being rewritten. The practitioner has sat with his own material. He will not flinch at yours.
What a Session Is
A private hypnosis session is a held space where you and your body do the work. You will not be fixed, programmed, or told what to feel. You will be met where you are by a practitioner who has sat with his own material and is not afraid of yours.
The session begins with your body, not a script. What you are carrying has a physical address: the tightness in your chest, the tension in your jaw, the weight across your shoulders that nobody else can see. This work goes there first, because your body has been trying to tell you something, and most approaches have been too busy talking to listen.
Sessions are structured around the eight-step method and adapted to what your system needs. Some sessions are quiet. Some sessions move. All of them are honest about what is happening and why. You will leave each session with something you can use on your own, because the goal of this work is for you to stop needing me.
What a Session Is Not
Not therapy. Not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment. Not stage hypnosis. You will not be made to do anything. You remain aware, present, and in charge of your own body the entire time. It is also not a single-session miracle. If someone promises you transformation in one hour, they are selling you something. This work is honest about what it takes: willingness, time, and the courage to stop performing your recovery and start being real about where you actually are.
Who This Is For
You are carrying something that other approaches have not reached. The talk therapy helped you understand it, but your body is still holding it. The meditation practice calmed your mind, but the weight is still there when you stop. You have tried holding it together, and the holding has cost you something, and you are ready for something that does not flinch.
Sessions are also appropriate for people referred by a therapist or counselor for complementary work, and for readers of Sacred Trance who want to experience the practice the book describes.
What a Session Costs and Why
You want to know what sessions cost, and you want to know why. Private hypnosis rates run from roughly $100 to $400 per hour depending on training, experience, and the weight the practitioner is equipped to hold. Here is what sits behind the rates on this page.
The rates here reflect two things. First, the training behind the practice: a 100-hour ICBCH-aligned program built on philosophical foundations, a four-tier evidence framework, and over a decade of practice at the intersection of evidence and tradition. Second, the nature of the container: sessions are not scripted, not templated, and not rushed. The initial session is 90 minutes because the intake is part of the work, not a form to get through before the real session starts.
Every session also includes something you take with you. A self-hypnosis practice, a body-awareness technique, a specific exercise drawn from the eight-step method. The goal is always the same: for you to carry the work forward without needing another appointment to access it.
Session Options
Initial Session
$338.99 CAD
90 minutes. Includes intake, assessment, and your first full session. The intake is not paperwork. It is the beginning of the work, because how you describe what you are carrying tells both of us where your body is holding it. This session establishes the working relationship and gives your system a first experience of what this practice feels like from the inside.
Follow-Up Session
$225.99 CAD
60 minutes. Continuing work tailored to where your system is and what it is ready for. Each session builds on the last. You will leave every session with something you can practice on your own between appointments.
Four-Session Commitment
$799.99 CAD (save $104)
For people who know they are committing to the work. Four follow-up sessions purchased together. Sessions do not expire but must be scheduled within six months of purchase. This is not a package deal. It is a commitment to showing up, and the reduced rate reflects that.
Virtual sessions are available at the same rates. Conducted over secure video. Many clients find them equally effective, particularly after the first session establishes the working relationship.
All fees are in Canadian dollars.
How to Begin
The first step is a brief intake form. It takes five minutes. It helps me understand what you are carrying and whether this work is appropriate for you. Hypnosis is powerful, and not everyone is a candidate right now. The intake screens for contraindications and ensures we are starting on solid ground. Once the intake is reviewed, you will receive a link to book your first session.
