I have had the pleasure of helping so many kids with the use of hypnosis. This definitely puts a smile on my face!

It is well established that children can benefit from therapeutic hypnosis, meditation as much as adults. Children are highly susceptible to hypnosis due to their rich imagination, flexible and unbiased attitude towards visualization exercises. Changes usually occur faster in children and they are long lasting, or permanent.

The parents' support throughout the intervention is vital to achieving the expected results. We work towards the child's benefit, not the parents'.

• Study habits
• Bed wetting
• Classroom anxiety
• Public speaking
• Stuttering
• Interpersonal skills
• Eating habits
• Self-esteem issues
• Low self-confidence
• Trust
• Bullying or being bullied
• Siblings tensions
• Nail biting
• Fear of dogs (fear of anything)
• Insomnia (getting to sleep and not being able to get back to sleep in the middle of the night)

Children usually see us between 2 and 5 sessions, sometimes more depending on the child and what we are working on. The earliest age a child can experience therapeutic hypnosis is as young as three years old.

I welcome parents in the room during the initial interview. I then have the parent leave the room for the hypnosis session. This gives the child a sense of privacy where he/she will be able to relax more deeply. The children appreciate it when the parents give the children the space and privacy to express their own views and opinions one-on-one.

Testimonial

My daughter was 6 1/2 and still went to bed with diapers on. Although she had been using the toilet for over 2 years during the day and never had an accident, she would never wake at night to get up and use the facilities, instead, she would wake up with a very full diaper.

We tried many things (including bribery) but nothing worked and we became more and more frustrated. Was she just too lazy to get up at night? Did she not sense a full bladder? We researched and looked for answers but there were none and regular physicians said to wait, there was still time.

As opportunities for sleepovers came and went, and our continued efforts failed, we decided to try hypnosis, after all it worked for me. Within less than a month (maybe 6-7 sessions) our problems were solved. She has had 2 accidents now in total since the day she had her first visit.
And that was over 2 1/2 years ago.
