Ah, the New Year. After all the party confetti has been swept away and the drinks have been had and the first day of January has come and gone. There are 365 days ahead of you now, all fresh and new. You’re revitalized and anything feels possible, even that resolution to quit sugar cold turkey…

The two practices are often paired together because they both involve bypassing logical thoughts and lowering inhibitions to access a deeper state of mind. With this…
Bad habits. Almost everyone has something that they would like to tackle about themselves, and negative habits plague our daily lives. It can be something as simple as not waking up as early as you would like, procrastinating, or spending too much time on social media. Smoking cigarettes is a bad habit, although it also…
Most of our clients want to know the details of what is going to happen in hypnosis, and we want to give them the information they need to make an informed decision. Last month we explored the hypnotic induction, it’s history, and how is it used in a hypnotherapeutic setting. This month we will be…

Sometimes, though, the house isn’t the only thing that needs clearing. We dedicate time and serious effort to primping and refreshing our spaces, yet…
We all know that finding a job can be stressful. When you are looking for a new job, there can be a sense of urgency, and if you are looking for something better, you may want the job so much that you put a lot of pressure on yourself to succeed. You spend hours re-working…
In Canada, gym members go to the gym on average of 1.6 times per month. We certainly have the desire to go to the gym, and, logically, we know the benefits of being physically fit, but, for usually a multitude of reasons (some known, some unknown), sometimes we just can’t seem to align our habits…
