…And Why It’s Not What You’ve Seen in the Movies

If the word hypnosis makes you think of swinging watches, clucking like a chicken, or losing control of your mind—you’re not alone.

Pop culture has done hypnosis zero favors. But in reality, clinical hypnosis is one of the most effective, science-backed tools for rewiring your thoughts, habits, and reactions—and it’s wildly underused by high-achieving women. (Although those in the know use it as their secret success hack.)

So what is hypnosis really?

Hypnosis Is Not Mind Control

Let’s start here: hypnosis does NOT make you do anything you don’t want to do.
It’s not brainwashing. It’s not magic. It’s not woo for the sake of woo.

Hypnosis is simply a natural state of focused awareness. It’s the same state your brain enters when you’re deep in a book, lost in a daydream, or so in flow that you forget time is passing.
That’s hypnosis. You go there all the time—just not intentionally.

The difference? In guided hypnosis, you use that state on purpose to rewire what’s holding you back.

What Actually Happens In Hypnosis?

During clinical hypnosis, your brain moves into a theta brainwave state—an ultra-relaxed place between wakefulness and sleep.

It’s the state where your subconscious mind becomes more open to suggestion—meaning you can gently unlearn old thought patterns and reinforce the beliefs you want to embody instead.

So if you’re stuck in overthinking, imposter spirals, or “I know my stuff but I still freeze up when I speak” moments…hypnosis helps you shift those patterns from the inside out.

No white-knuckling. No repeating affirmations 200 times. Just deep nervous system-level rewiring.

But Is It Science-Backed?

Yes. It has been studied and used for decades in psychology, performance coaching, pain relief, trauma recovery, and even surgical prep. (I actually met a labor and delivery nurse who used hypnosis with her patients to help them deliver a baby without meds. Wild!)

Here’s what studies have shown hypnosis can help with:

  • Reducing anxiety and fear
  • Enhancing focus and performance
  • Regulating emotional responses
  • Improving sleep and overall well-being
  • Reprogramming limiting beliefs (especially around confidence and leadership)

So no—it’s not fringe. It’s neuroscience for the soft girl era.

How I Use Hypnosis Inside My Work

When we work together 1:1, I meet with you virtually to discuss your issue. Then, we formulate a plan to address your specific goals.

If you’re looking for a do-it-yourself type of experience, Inside the High-Frequency Leadership Accelerator, hypnosis is one of the foundational tools we use to help women lead without spiraling.

In fact, there’s a growing library of audios created to help you:

  • Calm your nervous system before big meetings or presentations
  • Release overthinking and self-doubt
  • Reconnect to your voice and clarity
  • Rewire leadership patterns that don’t serve you anymore

It’s not about “fixing” yourself.


It’s about remembering who you already are—without the anxiety running the show.


The Recap: Hypnosis Is…

  • Not mind control
  • A calm, focused state your brain already knows
  • One of the most effective tools for rewiring confidence, clarity, and calm leadership
  • Completely safe, science-supported, and surprisingly soothing
