Dr. Cynthia has been practicing hypnosis for 21 years and has advanced certifications including using hypnosis via telehealth and using hypnosis to treat Trauma and PTSD. Additionally she completed her Past Life Regression Certification under Dr. Brain Weis, MD.

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often experienced as a deep state of relaxation. Contrary to common misconceptions, hypnosis is not about losing control or being manipulated. Instead, it is a collaborative process where you remain fully aware and in control, guided by the therapist to access your subconscious mind. This allows you to explore underlying thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are often inaccessible in the conscious state.
