I am so excited to help you get out of the insomnia spiral and back to enjoying your life !! I want you to know that your sleep mechanism is not broken it just needs adjusting…your subconscious mind just needs reminding.  I’m a certified clinical hypnotherapist in practice since 2010 and a certified CBT-I insomnia clinician specializing in insomnia relief who can help you get back to the deep, delicious sleep you need and deserve!

I, myself, have experienced insomnia and know how debilitating it can be.

Does This Sound Like You?

• You have trouble falling asleep or falling back to sleep

• You are always fatigued and feel drowsy during the day

• You are irritable and depressed

• You are worried about your work performance

• Your relationships with others are suffering

• You have a depleted immune system

• You struggle with memory, cognitive skills and focus

• You are unsure what to do to solve your problems or unable to do it alone

I remember…

• worrying about when I would finally get to sleep and calculating how much sleep that would be.

• being fearful of how I would perform at work, what my mood would be the next day and dreading how miserable feel.

• the frustration of wanting to work out and trying to stay in shape but feeling too exhausted to make it happen.

• the embarrassment of nodding off in class or, a few years later, in a business meeting.

• feeling unable to maintain concentration long enough to read an important piece of research.

• trying different sleeping medications prescribed to me, only to feel like they were making things worse in one way or another.

Once I began to learn about hypnosis, the subconscious mind, the hypnoidal state and how to benefit from self-hypnosis, things began to improve. I learned mindfulness and relaxation techniques and also became skilled in CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia using the same program that was developed by researchers at the Harvard School of Medicine. I began combining the techniques to assist my clients with insomnia issues and now I am here to help you in the same way.

Over the course of our 6 weeks together, you will come to understand…

• how our sleep mechanisms work and what drives them.

• what normal sleep is and how to achieve it.

• what normal sleep is not and some of the myths that surround sleep.

• how to change your thoughts and behaviors to promote good sleep patterns and habits.

You will…

• get a more accurate picture of your sleep patterns and associated sleep related thoughts.

• become acquainted with different physical and mental tools that support good sleep, promote relaxation and reduce anxiety and you will begin to utilize them

• understand the pros and cons of sleep medication and how to taper off them if you would like to.

• see improvement in your sleep over the timeframe of the course and in most cases, continue to see additional benefits in the weeks that follow.

• create a relapse prevention plan so that you do not fall into the insomnia spiral in the future.

• have access to weekly presentations with me as your host and clear-cut assignments for each section.

• be able to ask me questions via your question submission section at the end of each weekly section.

I will be…

• responding to your questions each week.

• checking in on your progress weekly via email or phone call.

• supporting you and holding you accountable for doing what you need to do to get out of the insomnia spiral and back to enjoying life as fully as possible.
