I'm always interested in learning new things, traveling to new places, hearing people's personal stories, reading new things, and understanding how things really work. In particular psychology, consciousness, shamanism, healing, energy and that sort of thing fascinates me. I've spent many years meditating as a way to observe the mind and facilitate personal growth.

Teach, Learn, Share

The type of hypnotherapy I do is unique. It gets at the root cause of emotional problems that causes addiction, relationship problems, sadness, etc and activates the individual's natural ability to heal themselves. I'm open to sharing this!
