subconscious change work?

what is 

(a.k.a. hypnosis?)

Hypnosis is a tool which uses a heightened, focused state of awareness to bypass the conscious mind and create deep, lasting change by way of the subconscious.

Also known as “meditation with an agenda,” it is an ancient technique that continues to be validated by science as a highly effective way to change the structure of your mind to serve your highest good.

Specifically, hypnosis helps with:

  • Rewriting habits (motivation, organization, relationships, eating, exercise, substances, sleep, procrastination, and more)

  • Anxious feelings, fears and phobias, recurring sadness, and other difficult emotions as well as physical pain

  • Healing past memories and inner child work

  • Opening up creativity

  • Maximizing skills and performance

  • Defining and following through on goals

  • Overcoming limitations to success and confidence

Hypnosis has been validated by the discovery of neuroplasticity; old problems are “lit up” and made malleable, and the mind is restructured for the desired change on a neurological level, dissolving old unhelpful associations and creating new resourceful healing pathways. 

Sessions involve an induction into a trance state (the alpha-theta brainwave state) where suggestibility is heightened, to rewire neural pathways and change habits, thoughts, and beliefs.

Trance is a natural state which we dip in and out of every day, it feels like being in deep relaxation or “flow” where creative solutions and insights can naturally arise, self-healing occurs, and change can deeply integrate.

Hypnosis is completely safe, deeply relaxing, and works for nearly everyone.

What is hypnosis like with RARE FORTUNE?

I take an integrative and humanistic approach to hypnosis, which is centered on you as a whole, resourceful leader of your life.

I find this to be a particularly powerful modality for divergent leaders, for it leverages our active, imaginative minds and orients them toward our goals.

It also opens up pathways for stronger intuition, self-trust, and lasting change, making it a highly effective technique to create change in your career and beyond.

Sessions are 75 minutes and take place over Zoom or phone.

A 3-session minimum is recommended to see deep, lasting change, however single sessions are available for those who want to experience it first.

  • "I can't say enough about my hypnosis session with, Iris. It was informative, emotional and brought a deeper connection to myself and my current focus. She made me feel comfortable for my first hypnosis session by providing a brief introduction to its purpose and potential. She was also open to my questions and concerns. She is professional, insightful and experienced. I will definitely be continuing with her service."

  • “I had a really positive experience working with Iris, as I was transitioning from my tenured employment into greener grasses, up-leveling in my career. Iris was an active listener who helped me gain clarity and alignment on what I was seeking in my path forward. She was personable, easy to connect with, and collaborative in her methods. Definitely recommend!

  • "I just had a beautiful session with Iris where I was looking to gain clarity revolving around a few life changes and decisions. I’m a bit new to breathwork, but Iris did an amazing job giving me the tools and context around the methods we used. Iris provided such a warm and supportive experience and personalized our session to my specific concerns and goals. She’s incredibly generous with her time and knowledge and so thoughtful in her approach and prompts. I'd recommend to anyone looking to shed limiting beliefs and align with their most elevated self. While I’m still early in my journey of inner exploration and stepping into my highest potential, I feel empowered coming out of our first workshop and look forward to learning more from our sessions!"

  • "I loved my sessions with Iris because she got me to a level of relaxation that was deep and took way less effort than I'm used to. With her guidance, I was able to receive insights and a new perspective on a problem that I've worked years trying to solve on my own. I felt a shift the very next day and more energy and enthusiasm for my work than I've felt in a very long time."

    Shila Soni, Program Manager

  • "Iris was so helpful to me during our session. I’m at a place in my career where I’m just not satisfied with what I’m doing anymore. I don’t feel that I’m fulfilling my life’s purpose. I’m struggling with direction at this point in my life. I feel a yearning within me to do more, but don’t know where to start. Talking this through with Iris has inspired me to embark on this journey to find my true calling. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find more purpose in their career, whether you are at the very beginning-like me- or somewhere else on your journey and just feeling a bit 'stuck'."

  • "Iris is a talented and intuitive hypnotherapist. I came to her to quit smoking and got so much more of the session than I expected. She guided me successfully to quit as well as worked to align me with the best version of myself in other areas of my life. I felt refreshed and rejuvenated after our session and most importantly ready and capable to take on professional and personal challenges. I highly recommend working with her!"

    Matt W., Wellness Practitioner

  • "I’ve had very bad anxiety when it comes to driving and get nervous to take the test and when i did manage to take the test i would fail miserably as my anxiety would take over. Me and my friend did hypnosis with Iris to help with my driving anxiety and we both passed on first attempt. For this i am forever grateful that Iris was able to help me! Highly recommend to anyone who is struggling with anxiety and to overcome fear to do hypnosis with Iris!"

FAQs

  • Yes, although there is a range of experiences people can have -- some people go very deep, very quickly, and for others, it may take a few sessions to fully drop in.

  • Not at all -- if you are interrupted or we lose connection in a session, you will easily be able to snap back into regular consciousness.

  • No – hypnosis can help make positive choices easier for you by programming your subconscious, but you will still have full awareness and autonomy over your choices both in and outside of the sessions.

  • Hypnosis has been used for healing for thousands of years, and has been traced back to Ancient Greece and Egypt, but was turned into a performance act in the 18th century by Franz Mesmer. In the 20th century, Dr. Milton Erickson brought it back into popularity as a psychological healing tool.

    That said, I welcome skeptics! Hypnosis does harness the power of the placebo affect – which is so powerful, it is used as a baseline for pharmaceuticals to perform against to be approved. However, the methods behind hypnosis are free and available to us at all times, with no negative side affects.

    In summary: Stage hypnotists may borrow some valid techniques, but their intention is to entertain rather than heal.
