Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a practical tool for life transformation. It facilitates access to internal resources that assist people in solving problems, increasing motivation, or altering behavior patterns to create positive change. It uses various tools, such as self-hypnosis, deep relaxation, neuro-linguistic programming, guided imagery, age regression, parts work, dreamwork, and suggestion therapy. It is a gentle and effective evidence-based tool that addresses each individual's unique spiritual, cultural, and personal needs.
The therapeutic use of hypnosis
Trauma Healing
Hypnotherapy is a tool that helps us reframe the past. We can change what a particular memory means to us, how we feel about it, and how we respond to it when we create new associations and narratives to that memory. As we change how we feel about the memory, we change our entire perception of it, including altering our mental discomfort and negative physical reactions.
Alter Unwanted Behavior
In a hypnotic trance state, we can explore repressed memories, suppressed emotions, and limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy techniques help you relax your nervous system and guide you in transforming anxious or fearful responses to specific triggers. As you become more aware of your emotions and learn to process them healthily, you will naturally start to make conscious decisions that lead to more enjoyable experiences in life.
Spiritual Growth
Become aware of the negative imprints that you have been carrying from other lifetimes through past life regression. In these sessions, we discover the lessons that still need to be learned by you and create therapeutic suggestions to the subconscious mind that will affect how you think and feel. In this process, you can expect to see rapid growth and transformation in your health, relationships, and well-being.
Inner Child Healing
Hypnotherapy reveals that humans possess a vast memory bank stored in the unconscious mind. It enables us to examine how the unhealed child within us continues to respond to triggering events in our lives. Through this process, we can uncover the root of emotional reactions that still influence our adult experiences.
Create Lasting Change
​In hypnotherapy, you can release feelings of shame and unworthiness rooted in past events.
By doing so, you might experience yourself being more open to exploring your interests and passions with a sense of trust.
Throughout the sessions, we will work on gaining clarity about what moves your soul the most and what steps will lead you to a life of purpose and joy.
Goal Achievment
In Hypnosis there is an emotionalized desire to satisfy the suggested behavior. You gain the motivation to follow through with your plans and visions. In the private sessions, you will receive a customized hypnosis audio tailored to your needs.
Here are some of the things you can use hypnosis for:
Pass an exam. Release chronic pain. Increase wealth and prosperity. Learn new skills. Release Anxiety. Improve the quality of your relationships.

​
Sleep issues
Anxiety and stress
Relationship challenges

What clients have to say
Dr. Dana Negoid MD
Lu is an incredible healer. She helped me during a very painful period of my life , using a personalized approach to make sure she understood where I was on my life journey. She helped me clarify my goals without judgement or personal interference.
I could have not done it without her after my husband passed away. My late husband was the most incredibly loving and carrying human being, despite him living for 20 years with devastating complications of throat cancer. I always cherished the time we had together knowing that our time was limited. After his passing she gently guided me to move forward with gratitude for the past. I am forever grateful for her insight and care and she is the first person that comes to mind if I need help in the future. Thank you Lu!
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. The hypnotic trance state is similar to the state just before falling asleep or upon waking up in the morning, when your brainwaves are in the theta state. During this time, there is deep relaxation of the mind and body, while the conscious mind - which is the reasoning or logical mind - is relaxed.
How does hypnosis work?
Through deep mental and physical relaxation, it is possible to reduce the activity of the conscious mind and lower one's defense mechanisms. A skilled hypnotist therapeutically uses this receptive and open state to deliver positive suggestions to the subconscious mind, as well as to access information such as memories and emotions that are preventing the client from experiencing life in a healthy and fulfilling way. ​ The information attained through the sessions can help in understanding the root causes of unwanted behaviors and current physical and emotional issues.
Who I serve
In my work, I help clients unlock their creative power and tap into their inner potential. I assist individuals dealing with life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, sleep disorders, lack of motivation, chronic pain, and difficulties with focused awareness. Hypnotherapy techniques can serve as a valuable addition to any treatment, enhancing well-being and facilitating lasting change.
Testimonial
Lu is an amazing practitioner - she is empathic, intelligent and attentive. After my first session of hypnosis, I was able to resolve debilitating chest pains that five years of medical appointments (with cardiologists, gastroenterologists, thoracic surgeons etc) had failed to treat. Besides physical relief, I have also seen great improvement with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Lu is always professional and thorough with a good eye for pattern recognition. I really can’t say enough good things about working with her. - Mary Albanese.
Hypnosis Program
​
The following outline provides an overview of the process we may follow as we deepen our work together. Each session is tailored to your unique goals, challenges, and life circumstances.
​
Session 1: Setting clear goals
We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your goals, needs, and desires. During this session, I create a customized hypnosis script designed specifically for you. Within 24–48 hours, you will receive a professionally recorded hypnosis audio via email.
Clients are encouraged to establish a daily hypnosis practice. Many report improvements in sleep, reduced stress, greater focus, and an increased sense of calm. This practice also supports nervous system regulation and helps you access the power of your subconscious mind.
​
Session 2: Processing emotions
We begin exploring the emotions that may be contributing to unwanted behaviors, habits, or recurring challenges. I often use Parts Therapy techniques to help clients understand and integrate different aspects of themselves.
​
Session 3: Healing childhood wounds
This session focuses on identifying limiting beliefs formed during childhood and understanding how unresolved emotions may still be influencing your adult life. Regression techniques may be used to explore and address past experiences and emotional patterns.
​
Session 4: Building new foundations
By this stage, many clients notice meaningful shifts in how they think, feel, and respond to life. Increased confidence, inner peace, and emotional resilience are common experiences. We also begin implementing practical lifestyle changes that support your goals.
​
Session 5: Learning self-hypnosis
You will learn self-hypnosis techniques that can be used independently to support ongoing growth, emotional regulation, and personal transformation. The goal is to empower you with tools that can serve you throughout your life.
​
Session 6: Exploring deeper subconscious patterns
If desired, we may use past-life regression techniques to explore the origins of unexplained fears, recurring themes, or spiritual questions. This session is always optional and guided by the client's interests and beliefs.
​
Session 7: Integrating Change
We review and celebrate the progress and transformations that have taken place. Together, we identify the changes you are ready to embrace and develop strategies for maintaining your momentum moving forward.
​
Sessions 8–14: Deepening Transformation & Purpose
For clients working with addiction, chronic health challenges, major life transitions, or soul's purpose alignment, additional sessions allow for deeper exploration and integration.
Areas of focus may include:
-
Dreamwork for healing and self-understanding
-
Developing intuition and inner guidance
-
Strengthening new habits and behaviors
-
Identifying and overcoming obstacles
-
Aligning your gifts and talents with your life's purpose
-
Creating sustainable strategies for long-term success and well-being
Throughout the program, I draw from a variety of hypnotherapy approaches, coaching methods, and personal development tools to support your growth and transformation.
​
Please note: Every client's journey is unique. The pace, techniques, and areas of focus may vary based on your individual goals, preferences, and needs.

Recommended Complementary Reading​​
I created the Soul Synergy Oracle Deck over the past years while working with my clients. It is a compilation of the themes we’ve explored together, my studies in Eastern and Western philosophies, the power of the subconscious mind, and my own creative vision.
I highly recommend using this tool alongside our work. The cards serve as prompts for self-reflection, and my clients have shared so much positive feedback. I hope you enjoy it as much as they have! Order your copy here.
