Knowing what you want to change and actually being able to change it are two different things. You can understand why you overthink, lose confidence, eat when you are not hungry, dread driving, lie awake at night, or repeat a behavior you genuinely want to stop, and still find yourself doing it. These automatic patterns can follow you anywhere, whether you’re driving along Lake Road, walking near Huntington Beach, or commuting into Cleveland on I-90.
At Geauga Mind Body Hypnosis, I work with Bay Village clients on concerns including anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, insomnia, IBS, chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, depression, confidence and self-esteem, weight loss and emotional eating, unwanted habits, public speaking, erectile dysfunction, and sports performance. Clinical hypnotherapy addresses patterns that can continue even when you consciously know what you want to think, feel, or do differently.
Bay Village clients can work with me at my Cleveland-area office on Brainard Road, in Chesterland, or virtually. Sessions are individualized and may incorporate clinical hypnosis, NLP, somatic approaches, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and coaching to address what is maintaining the problem, rather than simply helping you live with it.
Every client’s story is different, but the pattern is usually the same: an automatic response that logic alone hasn’t been able to shift. Here are some of the most common concerns I help Bay Village clients work through.
I help clients use hypnosis for anxiety and panic attacks, fears and phobias, confidence and self-esteem, weight loss and emotional eating, unwanted habits, insomnia, chronic pain, IBS, nervous system dysregulation, self-sabotage, and other challenges. Because no two people experience the same problem in exactly the same way, every session is personalized to the individual and the change they want to create.
You can be confident and capable in most areas of your life and still find yourself avoiding the highway, rehearsing what you are going to say before a conversation, worrying for hours about something that probably won’t happen, or feeling intense fear in situations other people barely think about. You may know the fear is out of proportion and still be unable to switch it off. That disconnect between what you know intellectually and how your brain and body automatically respond is one of the most frustrating things about anxiety.
Anxiety can show up as persistent worry and overthinking, social anxiety and fear of judgment, driving anxiety, performance anxiety, fear of flying, medical or dental fears, claustrophobia, fear of heights, or other specific fears and phobias. Avoidance often makes life feel easier temporarily, but it can also reinforce the brain’s belief that the situation really was dangerous, allowing anxiety to become stronger and more restrictive over time.
Hypnosis for anxiety works with the subconscious beliefs, learned associations, and automatic fear responses maintaining these patterns. The goal is not simply to become better at coping with anxiety. It is to change the learned response so situations that are actually safe no longer produce the same unnecessary alarm. I work with clients surrounding Cleveland communities for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, driving anxiety, performance anxiety, fears, phobias, and other anxiety-related concerns.
Sleep becomes increasingly difficult when the brain begins associating bedtime with effort, frustration, and the expectation of another bad night. You may struggle to fall asleep, wake repeatedly during the night, wake far too early, or find that your mind becomes more active precisely when you need it to settle. Over time, worrying about sleep can become part of the insomnia cycle itself.
Chronic insomnia is not always simply a matter of poor sleep habits. Stress, anxiety, overthinking, conditioned arousal, and learned associations between bedtime and wakefulness can keep the brain alert when it should be transitioning into sleep. Even after the original source of stress has passed, that learned pattern can remain.
Hypnosis for insomnia and sleep problems works with the subconscious patterns and conditioned responses that interfere with the natural sleep process. The goal is to reduce nighttime mental and physical arousal, rebuild the association between bed and sleep, and allow falling asleep and staying asleep to become automatic again rather than something you have to consciously force. I provide hypnosis for insomnia and sleep difficulties to clients surrounding Cleveland communities.
Panic attacks can feel sudden, frightening, and completely unpredictable. A racing or pounding heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, shaking, nausea, tingling, or a feeling of unreality can create an overwhelming fear that you are losing control, going to pass out, or experiencing a medical emergency. After the first few episodes, many people develop a fear of having another panic attack, leading to constant symptom monitoring, anticipatory anxiety, and avoidance of driving, crowded places, restaurants, stores, travel, or situations where escape feels difficult. Over time, this fear cycle can contribute to panic disorder and agoraphobia.
For clients experiencing recurring panic attacks, Panic2Calm™ is a specialized educational process that teaches you how to stop the subconscious fear loop that keeps panic going. You learn why fear of the sensations themselves can trigger and reinforce additional panic attacks and how to respond differently so the cycle is no longer strengthened. When underlying anxiety, trauma, or learned fear responses also need to be addressed, hypnosis can be used separately as part of a broader approach to resolving the patterns that
Irritable bowel syndrome can affect far more than digestion. IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and sudden bowel urgency can make it difficult to travel, eat at restaurants, attend events, or go somewhere without first thinking about bathroom access. For many people, stress and anxiety can trigger or worsen digestive symptoms, creating a frustrating gut-brain cycle in which fear of an IBS flare-up creates additional stress that further affects the digestive system.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS focuses specifically on the communication between the brain, nervous system, and digestive tract. This evidence-based approach can help improve overall IBS symptoms for some people while addressing the stress, anxiety, and heightened nervous-system responses that can intensify digestive distress. For clients struggling with irritable bowel syndrome or stress-related digestive problems, gut-directed hypnotherapy offers a mind-body approach designed to help calm the gut-brain connection and reduce the disruption that unpredictable digestive symptoms can cause in everyday life.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and prolonged periods of feeling unsafe can leave the nervous system hypervigilant, causing the brain and body to remain on high alert even when there is no immediate danger. You may feel wired but exhausted, easily overwhelmed, unable to fully relax, or unusually focused on sensations in your body. Nervous system sensitization can also be associated with persistent physical symptoms such as chronic pain, recurring headaches or migraines, muscle tension, dizziness, fatigue, digestive problems, and other symptoms that become worse during periods of stress or fear.
When appropriate, Pain and Symptom Reprocessing Therapy can help change learned brain and nervous system patterns that may be maintaining or amplifying certain persistent symptoms after appropriate medical evaluation. By reducing fear of symptoms and interrupting the cycle of hypervigilance, symptom monitoring, fear, and nervous system activation, this approach can help the brain interpret safe sensations more accurately. For clients, hypnosis and mind-body approaches may also be used to address the stress, anxiety, and learned responses that keep the nervous system stuck in a state of high alert.
Chronic stress can leave you feeling as though there is always something else to handle and never enough time or energy to recover. You may struggle with overthinking, racing thoughts, irritability, difficulty sleeping, mental exhaustion, decision fatigue, or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities that you once managed easily. For high-achieving professionals, business owners, caregivers, and others carrying significant responsibilities, burnout can develop gradually—showing up as emotional exhaustion, loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating, reduced patience, and the feeling that your mind never truly shuts off.
Hypnosis for stress management and overwhelm can help address the automatic thought patterns, emotional responses, and learned behaviors that keep the mind and body stuck in a cycle of chronic stress. Hypnosis can help with overthinking, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, the need to control every outcome, and the constant mental pressure to keep doing more. For clients experiencing chronic stress, burnout, mental overload, or emotional exhaustion, the goal is greater resilience, clearer thinking, healthier responses to pressure, and the ability to manage a demanding life without feeling consumed by it.
Low confidence and self-doubt can affect your career, relationships, decision-making, and willingness to pursue new opportunities. You may constantly second-guess yourself, compare yourself to others, struggle with negative self-talk, fear failure or rejection, or feel as though you are never quite good enough. Even highly successful people can struggle with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, fear of making mistakes, people-pleasing, and a persistent need for reassurance or approval despite having clear evidence of their abilities and accomplishments.
Hypnosis for confidence and self-esteem can help address the deeper beliefs and learned patterns that shape how you see yourself and what you believe you are capable of achieving. By changing automatic patterns of self-criticism, limiting beliefs, and fear of failure, hypnosis can help you trust your decisions, set healthier boundaries, communicate more confidently, and stop allowing self-doubt to determine what you do or avoid. For clients the goal is genuine self-confidence and stronger self-esteem that come from within rather than depending on achievement, perfection, or the approval of others.
Depression does not always look like intense sadness. It can also feel like emotional numbness, low energy, loss of motivation, irritability, hopelessness, or no longer enjoying activities and relationships that once mattered to you. You may withdraw from other people, struggle to get started in the morning, procrastinate on everyday responsibilities, experience changes in sleep, or feel trapped in negative thinking, low self-worth, and a lack of interest or pleasure in life.
Hypnosis for depression and low mood can be used as a complementary approach to help address negative beliefs, emotional patterns, and learned responses that may contribute to feeling stuck. Hypnosis can help support healthier patterns of thinking, improve self-perception, reconnect you with motivation and positive emotions, and make it easier to take meaningful steps forward. For clients, hypnosis may be used alongside appropriate mental health or medical care to support emotional well-being, motivation, confidence, and a renewed sense of connection and purpose.
Emotional eating can make weight loss feel frustrating, especially when you know what you want to change but continue falling back into the same patterns. You may eat in response to stress, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, or overwhelm, struggle with food cravings or nighttime eating, eat past the point of fullness, or find yourself repeatedly losing weight only to regain it. For many people, the problem is not a lack of knowledge about healthy eating, it is the emotional triggers, automatic habits, cravings, and patterns of self-sabotage that make lasting change difficult.
Hypnosis for weight loss and emotional eating can help address the subconscious patterns and learned associations that influence eating behaviors. By changing automatic responses to stress, emotional triggers, food cravings, and habitual eating, hypnosis can help you feel more in control of your choices and develop a healthier relationship with food. For clients struggling with emotional eating, overeating, food cravings, weight loss motivation, or maintaining weight loss, the goal is to create lasting changes in mindset and behavior rather than relying on another restrictive diet or a constant battle with willpower.
Pain can continue long after the body has healed because pain is not produced by the injured body part alone. It is ultimately created by the brain in response to information from the body, past experiences, perceived danger and the nervous system’s assessment of threat. For some people with chronic pain, extensive testing finds no structural explanation for the severity or persistence of their symptoms. For others, a physical condition exists, but the intensity of the pain is greater than the tissue damage alone would predict.
This is where the growing understanding of neuroplastic pain and mind body disorders becomes important. The brain can learn pain just as it learns other protective responses. Chronic back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, pelvic pain, fibromyalgia symptoms and other persistent physical symptoms can sometimes involve a nervous system that has become highly sensitized to perceived danger. The pain is real, but the mechanism maintaining it may be different from an ongoing injury.
Hypnosis for chronic pain works with the brain and nervous system rather than simply trying to distract you from discomfort. I incorporate principles from Pain and Symptom Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Hypnosis helps clients change fear-based associations with physical sensations, reduce the brain’s perception of threat and develop new responses to sensations that have become linked with danger.
Mind body disorders can also involve symptoms beyond pain. Some people experience persistent muscle tension, digestive symptoms, fatigue or other physical sensations that become worse during periods of stress or emotional strain. Recognizing a mind body component does not mean the symptoms are imaginary or “all in your head.” It means the brain, nervous system and body are interacting in ways that can potentially be changed.
Chronic pain should always be medically evaluated to identify or rule out structural disease, injury or other conditions requiring medical care. When symptoms persist after healing, move from one area of the body to another, fluctuate significantly, or become stronger during periods of stress, the nervous system may be playing a role in keeping the pain response active. Hypnosis, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and mind body approaches can help retrain the brain’s response to these sensations, reducing the fear and perceived danger that can reinforce chronic pain.
If you keep promising yourself that you are going to stop and then find yourself doing it again, the problem may be bigger than simply needing more willpower. Smoking, excessive drinking, binge drinking, compulsive sexual behavior, pornography use, nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling, motor or vocal tics and other unwanted habits can become deeply conditioned patterns connected to stress, boredom, anxiety, relief, reward or familiar routines.
Hypnosis for bad habits and addictions works with the subconscious triggers and learned associations that can make a behavior feel automatic. Someone searching for hypnosis to quit smoking, help to stop drinking or reduce alcohol use, hypnosis for sex addiction or compulsive sexual behavior, help with pornography addiction, hypnosis for nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling or tics may be dealing with very different behaviors, but the underlying pattern can be remarkably similar: a trigger creates an urge, the behavior temporarily satisfies that urge, and repetition strengthens the cycle.
Transformational Hypnosis focuses on identifying what your brain has learned to associate with the behavior and changing the beliefs, emotional triggers and reward patterns helping to keep it going. The goal is not to spend the rest of your life fighting cravings or forcing yourself to resist an unwanted habit. It is to change the subconscious pattern so that you have greater choice over what you do when the old trigger appears.
For alcohol or other substance dependence, hypnosis should be used as a complementary approach and not as a substitute for appropriate medical or addiction care. Physical dependence on alcohol can make suddenly stopping dangerous and may require medical supervision.
Sometimes the closer you get to something you really want, the more reasons you suddenly find not to move forward. You procrastinate on the opportunity you were excited about, talk yourself out of taking the risk, abandon a goal after making real progress, choose the wrong relationship again, or find some other way to get in your own way. Then comes the frustrating question: “Why do I keep sabotaging my life?”
Self-sabotaging behavior can be driven by subconscious beliefs and learned emotional patterns that operate outside conscious awareness. Fear of failure is an obvious example, but fear of success, perfectionism, low self-worth, imposter syndrome, procrastination, people pleasing and fear of rejection can also keep someone stuck. Sometimes avoiding the next step feels safer to the subconscious mind than risking failure, judgment, responsibility or change.
Hypnosis for self-sabotage works with the subconscious beliefs and automatic patterns behind these behaviors. Transformational Hypnosis can help uncover why part of you keeps resisting what another part genuinely wants and change the associations that have made avoidance, procrastination or self-defeating behavior feel necessary. The goal is to stop fighting yourself so that your thoughts, choices and behaviors begin supporting the life you consciously want.
All sessions are customized to your unique personality and background – whether you’re a student, business owner, essential worker, or caregiver. The goal is to help you feel emotionally safe, grounded, and capable again
I help clients use hypnosis for anxiety and panic attacks, fears and phobias, confidence and self-esteem, weight loss and emotional eating, unwanted habits, insomnia, chronic pain, IBS, nervous system dysregulation, self-sabotage, and other challenges. Because no two people experience the same problem in exactly the same way, every session is personalized to the individual and the change they want to create.
You can be confident and capable in most areas of your life and still find yourself avoiding the highway, rehearsing what you are going to say before a conversation, worrying for hours about something that probably won’t happen, or feeling intense fear in situations other people barely think about. You may know the fear is out of proportion and still be unable to switch it off. That disconnect between what you know intellectually and how your brain and body automatically respond is one of the most frustrating things about anxiety.
Anxiety can show up as persistent worry and overthinking, social anxiety and fear of judgment, driving anxiety, performance anxiety, fear of flying, medical or dental fears, claustrophobia, fear of heights, or other specific fears and phobias. Avoidance often makes life feel easier temporarily, but it can also reinforce the brain’s belief that the situation really was dangerous, allowing anxiety to become stronger and more restrictive over time.
Hypnosis for anxiety works with the subconscious beliefs, learned associations, and automatic fear responses maintaining these patterns. The goal is not simply to become better at coping with anxiety. It is to change the learned response so situations that are actually safe no longer produce the same unnecessary alarm. I work with clients in Solon and surrounding Cleveland communities for generalized anxiety, social anxiety, driving anxiety, performance anxiety, fears, phobias, and other anxiety-related concerns.
Trauma can continue affecting the brain and nervous system long after the original experience has ended. Childhood trauma, emotional neglect, relationship trauma, medical trauma, bullying, grief, chronic stress, and other difficult experiences can create automatic protection patterns such as hypervigilance, anxiety, emotional reactivity, shutdown, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, difficulty trusting, and a persistent sense that you need to stay on guard.
These responses are not simply habits of thought. They can become deeply learned subconscious and nervous system patterns that continue operating even when you consciously know the danger has passed. Hypnosis for trauma works with those automatic responses, helping update the beliefs and protective patterns that were once adaptive but are no longer serving you.
The goal is not to force you to repeatedly relive painful experiences. It is to help the brain and nervous system recognize that the present is different from the past, so you can respond with greater emotional stability, self-trust, and a genuine sense of safety.
Sleep becomes increasingly difficult when the brain begins associating bedtime with effort, frustration, and the expectation of another bad night. You may struggle to fall asleep, wake repeatedly during the night, wake far too early, or find that your mind becomes more active precisely when you need it to settle. Over time, worrying about sleep can become part of the insomnia cycle itself.
Chronic insomnia is not always simply a matter of poor sleep habits. Stress, anxiety, overthinking, conditioned arousal, and learned associations between bedtime and wakefulness can keep the brain alert when it should be transitioning into sleep. Even after the original source of stress has passed, that learned pattern can remain.
Hypnosis for insomnia and sleep problems works with the subconscious patterns and conditioned responses that interfere with the natural sleep process. The goal is to reduce nighttime mental and physical arousal, rebuild the association between bed and sleep, and allow falling asleep and staying asleep to become automatic again rather than something you have to consciously force. I provide hypnosis for insomnia and sleep difficulties to clients in Solon and surrounding Cleveland communities.
Once you’ve had a panic attack, your own body can start to feel unpredictable. A racing heart, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or a strange sensation can suddenly trigger the fear that another panic attack is starting. For many people, that fear develops into anticipatory anxiety, avoidance, fear of driving, fear of leaving home, or panic disorder. Life begins revolving around one question: “What if it happens again?”
Panic2Calm™ is my specialized program for people struggling with panic attacks, recurring panic attacks, and panic disorder. It goes beyond symptom management to address the subconscious patterns that can keep the panic cycle active. The goal is to help your brain and nervous system stop responding as though you are in danger when you are not, so the fear of panic no longer keeps triggering more panic.
If you’re searching for help with panic attacks in Bay Village or Greater Cleveland, you do not have to accept recurring panic as something you simply have to manage. I work with clients who want to get beyond the cycle of panic attacks, anticipatory anxiety, and fear of another attack so they can feel safe in their own bodies again.
For people in Bay Village struggling with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), stress-related digestive symptoms, abdominal cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or sudden bowel urgency, everyday activities can become stressful and unpredictable. Many people begin planning their lives around bathroom access, avoiding travel or social events, and experiencing anxiety about when the next digestive flare-up might occur.
Gut-directed hypnosis for IBS focuses on the powerful connection between the brain, nervous system, and digestive system. This specialized approach can help calm the gut-brain axis, reduce stress-related digestive reactivity, and change the patterns of fear and hypervigilance that often develop around unpredictable symptoms. Gut-directed hypnotherapy can support people whose IBS symptoms, chronic digestive discomfort, bowel urgency, and stress-related gut problems interfere with work, relationships, travel, exercise, and everyday freedom.
For people in Bay Village living with chronic stress, it can feel as though the body has forgotten how to fully relax. Constant pressure, demanding responsibilities, caregiving, work stress, or prolonged anxiety can leave the nervous system stuck in a state of fight-or-flight, leading to symptoms such as muscle tension, chronic headaches, fatigue, poor sleep, irritability, brain fog, hypervigilance, and feeling constantly wired or on edge.
Through hypnosis for nervous system regulation, somatic techniques, and, when appropriate, Pain and Symptom Reprocessing Therapy (PSRT), we work to calm an overactive stress response and help the brain and body develop a greater sense of safety. Hypnotherapy can support people struggling with chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, burnout, difficulty relaxing, stress-related physical symptoms, and chronic pain patterns, helping them move out of persistent survival mode and toward greater emotional and physical balance.
Low self-confidence affects more than how you feel about yourself. It can influence the decisions you make, the opportunities you pursue, the relationships you choose, and how confidently you speak up at work or in your personal life. You may know you’re capable and still second-guess yourself, fear failure, struggle with perfectionism or imposter syndrome, compare yourself to others, or worry too much about what people think. Hypnosis for confidence and self-esteem works with the subconscious beliefs and patterns that can keep self-doubt in place, helping you develop a more accurate sense of your own ability, worth, and competence.
Through hypnosis for confidence and self-esteem, we work to change the subconscious beliefs and negative thought patterns that contribute to low self-worth, self-doubt, fear of judgment, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the need for external validation. Hypnotherapy can help strengthen self-trust, improve confidence in decision-making, and make it easier to pursue personal and professional goals without being held back by the constant fear of failure or criticism.
For clients in Bay Village who are ready to feel more confident in their relationships, careers, leadership roles, and everyday lives, hypnosis can help create change at a deeper level. The goal is to build genuine confidence from within, so your sense of worth is no longer determined by other people’s opinions, approval, or expectations.
Depression can change the way you experience yourself, other people, and the life you are living. It can leave you feeling exhausted, unmotivated, disconnected from other people, and unable to enjoy activities that once mattered to you. Symptoms may include persistent sadness, hopelessness, low self-worth, loss of interest, emotional numbness, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, lack of motivation, and withdrawing from relationships or everyday activities.
Hypnosis for depression support can help address subconscious beliefs, negative thought patterns, unresolved emotional experiences, and feelings of inadequacy or hopelessness that may contribute to feeling stuck. By working with the deeper patterns that influence thoughts, emotions, self-perception, and behavior, hypnotherapy can support greater emotional resilience, healthier thinking patterns, renewed motivation, and a stronger sense of connection and purpose.
For clients in Bay Village, hypnosis can be used as a complementary approach alongside appropriate medical or mental health care to support positive emotional change and help address the underlying patterns that may contribute to low mood, negative thinking, loss of confidence, and difficulty moving forward.
Emotional eating can create a frustrating cycle of stress, cravings, overeating, guilt, and repeated attempts to regain control. Many people know what they should eat but still find themselves turning to food for comfort, reward, distraction, or relief from stress. Stress eating, nighttime eating, food cravings, overeating, and self-sabotage around weight loss are often driven by patterns that willpower and dieting alone do not address.
Through hypnosis for weight loss and emotional eating, we work to change the subconscious patterns and emotional triggers connected to food, stress, comfort, and reward. Hypnotherapy can help address emotional eating, stress eating, food cravings, portion control, unhealthy eating habits, lack of motivation, and difficulty staying consistent with healthy choices, while supporting a more balanced relationship with food and greater trust in yourself.
For clients in Bay Village who feel stuck in repeated cycles of dieting, losing motivation, or using food to cope with difficult emotions, hypnosis can help address the patterns beneath the behavior. The goal is not another restrictive diet—it is to make healthy choices feel more natural and sustainable, without constantly fighting cravings or relying on willpower alone.

Hypnosis for anxiety isn’t about zoning out or being “put under.” It’s a focused, collaborative process designed to help your nervous system feel safe enough to shift long-standing patterns. At Geauga Mind Body Hypnosis, every session is deeply personalized — from your first intake to the final integration.
Before your first appointment, you’ll receive a custom presession
subconscious reprogramming audio. This primes your mind to become more receptive by calming your subconscious patterns tied to stress, worry, or past overwhelm. Many clients find this audio alone begins to quiet the mental noise.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive 60-minute intake session. During this intake session, we explore your personal story — from emotional triggers and thought loops to physical symptoms like insomnia or IBS anxiety. This gives us a clear roadmap of what your subconscious is protecting or reacting to.
In your 2 hour session, you’ll enter a relaxed, aware state (similar to guided meditation). Here, we use transformational hypnotherapy tools such as:
You’re fully in control the entire time, but connected to a deeper, calmer part of yourself — not just thinking about change, but experiencing it.
After your hypnosis session, you’ll receive a customized subconscious reprogramming audio to reinforce and hard-wire the internal changes. Clients are instructed to fall asleep to the recording each night for 30 days. This effortless routine allows the subconscious mind to absorb new patterns of calm, confidence, and emotional balance, helping to ease anxiety, overthinking, and stress-related tension naturally and effectively.

I have been able to manage my daily anxiety much better after having listened to my 30 day recording.

Understanding a problem and changing it are not always the same thing. You can know you’re safe and still feel panic. You can understand why you overeat, procrastinate, lose confidence, experience pain, or repeat a behavior you want to stop and still find yourself doing it. That is because many emotional, behavioral, and physical responses become automatic.
Hypnosis works with the subconscious associations behind those automatic responses. For people who have spent months or years talking about a problem and understand it intellectually but still feel stuck, this can provide a very different way of approaching change.
Whether you’re exploring how subconscious patterns drive emotions or want tools to build self-trust, our LIVE and online guide you through deep, empowering change.
On A Transformed Life, Tiffani dives into emotional healing, real-life change stories, and mind-body breakthroughs. Perfect for busy listeners seeking insights on-the-go.

She works with clients seeking help with confidence and self-worth, weight loss and emotional eating, unwanted habits, insomnia, chronic pain and neuroplastic symptoms, IBS, nervous system dysregulation, self-sabotage, and other deeply ingrained patterns that can be difficult to change through conscious effort alone. Her highly individualized approach is designed to identify and address the underlying patterns that keep a problem in place rather than relying on generic scripts or one-size-fits-all hypnosis sessions.

Clinical hypnotherapy can be used for a surprisingly wide range of emotional, behavioral, physical, and performance-related concerns. At Geauga Mind Body Hypnosis, I work with Bay Village and Greater Cleveland clients seeking help with anxiety, panic attacks, public speaking, trauma, insomnia, IBS, chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, depression, confidence and self-esteem, weight loss and emotional eating, unwanted habits, self-sabotage, public speaking, erectile dysfunction, sports performance, stress, and burnout. The evidence for hypnosis varies by condition, so treatment is always based on the individual problem rather than the assumption that hypnosis is appropriate for everything.
Yes, hypnosis has legitimate clinical applications and has been studied for conditions including anxiety, IBS, chronic pain, and other concerns. Hypnotherapy is not mind control or a magic cure. It uses focused attention and therapeutic suggestion to work with thoughts, associations, behaviors, and responses that may have become automatic. Results depend on the person, the problem being addressed, and the way hypnosis is incorporated into treatment.
Hypnosis for anxiety works differently from simply trying to reason yourself out of anxious thoughts. You can consciously know that you are safe while your brain and body continue producing fear, racing thoughts, tension, or a sense that something is wrong. Hypnotherapy can be used to address the learned associations and automatic responses involved in generalized anxiety, social anxiety, driving anxiety, fears and phobias, and chronic overthinking.
Hypnotherapy may offer another approach when you understand a problem intellectually but continue experiencing the same automatic response. Talk therapy can be extremely valuable, but insight and behavioral change are not always the same thing. Hypnosis focuses attention on the associations, beliefs, expectations, and learned responses that may continue operating even after you understand where a problem came from.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy has substantial research behind its use for irritable bowel syndrome and is designed to influence the brain-gut connection. For people whose IBS symptoms are affected by stress, anticipation, anxiety, or nervous-system activation, hypnosis can be used to change the brain’s response to gastrointestinal sensations and reduce the cycle in which symptoms themselves become a source of further distress.
Hypnosis for weight loss is most useful when the obstacle is not knowing what to eat, but consistently changing the behaviors surrounding food. Hypnotherapy can address emotional eating, habitual snacking, cravings, portion habits, self-sabotage, and subconscious associations with food. It is not a diet and does not replace appropriate medical or nutritional care.
Hypnosis may help with insomnia when an active mind, stress, conditioned arousal, or persistent thought patterns interfere with sleep. Some people become so accustomed to worrying about whether they will sleep that bedtime itself becomes a trigger for alertness. Hypnotherapy for insomnia can focus on changing those learned associations and helping the brain reconnect bedtime with sleep rather than effort and frustration.
Yes. Hypnosis is also used for confidence and performance, not just mental health symptoms. I work with clients on self-esteem, public speaking anxiety, sports performance, professional confidence, sexual performance, erectile dysfunction, and other situations in which conscious ability is being disrupted by an automatic fear, expectation, or learned response.
No. Clinical hypnosis does not take away your judgment or give the hypnotherapist control over you. You remain aware, can speak, can reject suggestions, and can stop the process. The stage-hypnosis image of someone being powerless or controlled bears little resemblance to a professional hypnotherapy session.
Most people can experience hypnosis to some degree, and you do not have to become unconscious or enter an extraordinarily deep trance for therapeutic work to occur. Hypnosis involves focused attention, and people experience it differently. Some feel deeply relaxed while others remain mentally active and simply notice that their attention has become much more focused.
There is no responsible universal number because the answer depends on what you want to change and how complex the problem is. A specific fear, an entrenched eating pattern, chronic pain, trauma, and long-standing anxiety are not the same problem and should not automatically receive the same treatment plan. At Geauga Mind Body Hypnosis, programs are individualized and may combine hypnosis with NLP, somatic approaches, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, or coaching when appropriate.
Hypnosis does not require the hypnotherapist and client to be physically in the same room. Virtual hypnotherapy allows you to participate from your own home while still working directly with the practitioner throughout the session. Bay Village clients can choose virtual hypnosis or travel to my Cleveland-area office on Brainard Road or my Chesterland hypnotherapy office.
