Mostly? Relief.

I wonder if you can imagine, visualize, or simply pause a moment and think about,
how you might experience feeling more of that where you are right now.

That's what almost everybody feels when I talk with them.

Whether from stages with the companies and corporations that employ us, or in one-to-one or group hypnosis sessions with my fellow neurodivergent folks, my mission and purpose remain much the same: To engineer deeper levels of understanding, communication, and relationship, stronger and more supportive foundations from which to align, and to free the authentically aligned confident energy that becomes so much more available when the masks can be put aside, and it's finally *safe* to release the brakes.

Me?

For the first 58 years of my life, I was labeled "lazy" and "weird." Always taller than my age-peers, always different — physically and socially awkward...— I was a somewhat intellectually gifted mess.

What I did know was words and structures, and I learned early that speaking from stage was freeing for me in a way nothing else was.

Self-help, pop-psychology books, courses — almost a "course junkie" — coaching, therapy… it finally took hypnosis as a client with more than one hypnotist for me to reach something that actually helped me heal and grow. That journey led me to formal testing and professional diagnoses as autistic with ADHD and c-PTSD at age 58. The benefits I received from the powerful effectiveness of that modality was the turning point that decided things for me, that transformed hypnosis from the key to my own recovery into an integral part of my own vocation and career.

Today, I'm a certified hypnotherapist specializing in serving neurodivergent individuals and a speaker using the powers of stories and metaphors from stages — I speak from lived experience, supported by clinical training, and would like to invite you to come explore possible opportunities to play together in one of my favorite acronyms, FOCUS: Feed Our Connections Until Successful.
