What does the ability to manage chronic pain, cure insomnia, alleviate panic attacks, reduce migraines and give up cigarettes forever, all have in common? They are all issues being addressed and overcome every day with the use of hypnosis.

Since licensed therapist, Bob Higgins, added clinical and medical hypnosis to his therapeutic tool box, he reports that he is able to see changes in some clients in just a few sessions that would normally take months of traditional therapy to correct. Bob has been certified in clinical and medical hypnosis and is an active member of the American Psychotherapy and Medical Hypnosis Association.

Hypnosis has been around in one form or another since biblical times but it was not until 1958 that it was officially recognized by the American Medical Association as a legitimate adjunct therapy to medical and mental health practice. Hypnosis is now being used successfully to help with fertility issues, headaches, insomnia, and to help cancer patients manage the pain and stress associated with their treatments. It has also helped millions of Americans lose weight and/or give up smoking.

Hypnosis is safe, natural and very relaxing. It has been shown that 20 minutes of hypnosis provides your body with the same benefits as 4-5 hours of restful sleep. Most clients also report that they are more focused at work, more patient with their spouse/children, and they sleep better at night after a hypnosis session regardless of the reason that they sought hypnosis in the first place.

HypnoBirthing

HypnoBirthing is a philosophy of natural and gentle birthing that was developed by Marie Mongan, M.Ed., M. Hy. in 1989 to assist her own daughter in delivering her first baby. Since that time the HypnoBirthing method has gained world wide recognition and validation. I have had the privilege of studying with Marie Mongan and have earned certification as a HypnoBirthing practitioner.
