The Tune-Up · single session
Smoking. Drinking. Anxiety. A fear you have quietly built your life around. One session, aimed at one problem, and you leave with a recording made for you.

What I help with
Most people arrive with one clear problem. That is the ideal way to use a session. Here is where I work most often.
The behavior that runs without your permission.
A nervous system stuck in a posture it no longer needs.
The response that arrives before you do.
The thing you have organized your life to avoid.
You already know what to do. Something else is steering.
The gap between intention and follow-through.
Not listed? Ask. If it is a behavior, a reaction, or a way you see yourself, it is usually workable.
The short answer
Hypnosis is a state in which the mind takes suggestion easily. A suggestion is language that changes how you see yourself.
Here is the part that matters. You do not act on what you intend. You act on how you see yourself, and on how you see yourself responding to the people and circumstances around you. That is why willpower is such an exhausting tool. It fights the perception instead of changing it.
Change the self-perception and the behavior follows on its own, without the fight. That principle is the whole basis of the approach I was trained in, and it is why a single well-aimed session can do what months of effort could not.
How the session works
In person in Scottsdale, or on Zoom from wherever you are. There is no stopwatch. Most sessions run sixty to ninety minutes.
You tell me what you want to change and what it has been costing you. Conversational, not clinical. This part matters more than people expect, because it shapes everything that follows.
You relax into a calm, aware state while I deliver suggestions built around your goal, in your own language rather than a script off a shelf.
The session is recorded and sent to you. I also build you a custom guided meditation from it, so the work keeps reinforcing itself after you go home.
A recording of your session and a custom guided meditation made from it, yours to keep. Most single-session work is designed to be complete in one sitting. If a second session would help, it is available, and I will tell you honestly if I think you need one.
Before you worry about it
You remain the pilot the entire time. Nobody can be made to do anything that violates their own values, in a session or on a stage.
You are awake, aware, and participating. You will hear everything, and you will remember it afterward.
The relaxed state resembles the moment before sleep, but your attention is sharper, not duller.
Skepticism is not an obstacle. You need to want the change and be willing to sit with it for an hour.
Who you would be sitting with
I have been a Certified Hypnotherapist since 2008, certified through the Lindsay A. Brady Institute of Hypnotherapy, and personally mentored by Brady himself, a pioneer in the field whose work reshaped how suggestion and perception are understood.
Alongside that, I have spent roughly twenty-five years in field research across somatic practice, breathwork, coordination, and human performance. That background is why I care less about scripts and more about the specific instrument in front of me.
You remain the pilot. I sit in the right seat.
The Tune-Up is for one specific problem. If you are after something broader, the flight school trains the whole instrument over time. See the training.
