You may have heard about this clinical work through my spiritual practice — the one rooted in Norse tradition, trance, and soul restoration. That work — the rituals, the deep trance journeys, the reclaiming of lost soul fragments — is where I serve those called to the mystical, the pagan, the deeply intuitive. It’s not hidden — it’s simply not for everyone.
And that’s why my clinical practice exists in its own space. I tend not to mix the two unless someone specifically asks I don’t mention the magic, the ancestors, or the unseen forces. Because for many — especially those seeking relief from anxiety, chronic pain, or the stubborn habits that keep them stuck — the language of the mystical can feel alienating, even dismissive of their real, tangible suffering. They need science, not symbolism. They need structure, not ritual.
Worse it scares some people off entirely. People who are opposed to our paths. People who don’t undestand the hypnosis, much less its shamanic and magical connections. I’ve had people of other religious backgrounds ask if the hypnosis itself was devil worship or if it would let in the demons. Conversations in the clinical world that I would never have expected to need to have. But there is a lot of people who are confused about the use of hypnosis.
Between the seemingly betwitching nature of stage hypnosis where the most suggestible are plied from the audience to do tricks, to the spiritual, clinical, and even erotic uses of hypnosis, there is a lot of confusion out there on the topic.
So I keep them separate — not to hide one from the other, but to honor both. The spiritual work is for those who are called to it. The clinical work is for those who are ready for it. I’m happy to mix it for those who need a mix of both. Sometimes they overlap and sometimes they are different maps of reality entirely depending on the person and their unique needs.
This is not the hypnosis of stage shows or Hollywood. This is the quiet, powerful, and deeply effective practice of clinical hypnosis — a therapeutic tool grounded in neuroscience, validated by decades of research, and used by licensed professionals to help people make real, lasting change.
Hypnosis is the intentional use of dissociation and trance (two regularly used states of mind) to create a natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility — a state you’ve likely entered many times without realizing it: while driving on autopilot, losing yourself in a book, or daydreaming. In clinical hypnosis, we intentionally guide you into this state to access your subconscious mind, where your deepest beliefs, habits, and emotional responses live.
It is not mind control. You are not asleep. You are not unconscious. You are fully aware, in control, and in most circumstances you can choose to come out of the trance at any time. You are unlikely to do anything that would go against your will, values, or boundaries.
Hypnosis is simply a tool — a doorway — to the part of you that holds the power to make lasting and lifelong change.
Neuroimaging studies have shown that during hypnosis, the brain’s default mode network — responsible for self-referential thought — quiets down, while areas involved in attention and sensory processing become more active. This creates a state of focused awareness where you are more open to suggestion, making it easier to reframe negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety, and access your body’s natural healing responses.

Reality: You are always in control. You cannot be made to do anything against your will or values.
