Ready to get unstuck.

But if everything is going so well, why doesn't it feel better than this?

That's a difficult question to admit sometimes. Because you probably have a lot to be grateful for.

You've built the career. Or the business. You've worked hard. People respect you. You're good at what you do. You've created a life that an earlier version of you would probably be incredibly proud of.

And you're not unhappy, exactly. That's what makes this so difficult to put your finger on.

It's more like there's a gap between the life you're living and the way you somehow thought it would feel to live it.

You achieve something you've been working toward for months and it feels great. For a little while. Then the goalposts move. There's another level. Another problem to solve. Another version of you to become.

I work with people who can make enormous decisions in their businesses or careers, lead teams, manage people, and carry a level of responsibility that would completely overwhelm most people.

Yet when it comes to themselves, it's different. They second-guess. They hold back. They know there's something they want to say, or do, or become, but there's a hesitation they can't quite explain.

Sometimes it's a fear of being really seen. Sometimes it's showing up in a relationship where they can't quite let themselves say what they actually want. Sometimes they're reaching the next level in their career or business and they can almost feel themselves pulling back from it. Sometimes they're carrying a loss they've never fully put down.

And sometimes nothing is particularly wrong. They just have this persistent feeling: there has to be more to life than being really good at managing it.

Most of the people who come to me aren't new to this work. Far from it.

They've been to therapy. They've read the books. They've worked with coaches. They've meditated. Journaled. Been on retreats. Some have explored breathwork, somatic work, energy work, psychedelics, spirituality, inner-child work, or any number of different approaches.

And I don't dismiss any of that. I've been a seeker myself. A lot of these things can give us extraordinary insight.

The frustration comes when you understand something and realize you're still experiencing it.

You know where the fear comes from. You're still afraid.

You understand the relationship pattern. You're still repeating it.

You know intellectually that you're enough. Something inside you still behaves as though you have something to prove.

After a while, you can become incredibly good at understanding yourself without actually feeling much freer.

I've had people come to me who can explain their patterns better than most therapists could. That's not the problem. The problem is that knowing isn't the same as changing.

This is where my work is different.

We're not going to spend months sitting together trying to intellectually work out why you are the way you are. You may already know.

We're interested in what's underneath that. The part of you that learned what was safe. What got you love. What got you approval. What you needed to hide. What you needed to become.

The part that still takes the wheel sometimes, even when your adult, rational mind knows better.

Because you can be an extraordinarily capable person and still have a much older part of you quietly deciding how visible it's safe to be. How much love it's safe to receive. How much success it's safe to have. How honest it's safe to be. How much of yourself it's safe to show.

That doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. It means there's something worth listening to.

Here is what I've noticed doing this work.

People arrive with a list. The anxiety, the drinking, the pattern in their relationships, the thing at work they keep circling, the sleep. It feels like ten separate problems, and it's exhausting, because ten problems means ten things to fix.

They're usually branches. There's one root.

Somewhere early, something taught you a rule about what you have to do to be safe, or loved, or allowed to stay. That rule made sense at the time. It may even have protected you. And it never got updated, so it's still running, and everything on your list is that one rule showing up in a different room.

That's what we go looking for. Not the ten. The one.

When it moves, the things that grew out of it tend to move with it. That is the whole reason I work this way.

Not everyone who comes to me is asking about success and fulfillment.

Some are carrying grief. A parent. A sibling. A friend. A marriage. Sometimes something that happened years ago that everyone around them considers finished, including them.

And what it looks like now isn't sadness. It's the anxiety that won't settle. The sleep that doesn't come. The drinking that crept up. The strange numbness in the middle of a life that should feel good.

You can be highly functional and still be carrying something you never actually got to put down. Often the more capable you are, the easier it is to keep carrying it, and the longer nobody notices.

Grief doesn't need to be explained. It needs somewhere to go.

A lot of the people I work with have a spiritual side to them.

I don't mean you have to subscribe to a particular religion or believe exactly what I believe. I mean you've probably had moments where you've sensed that there's something more going on here.

Maybe you call it consciousness. God. Source. Your higher self. Intuition. Your soul. The word isn't particularly important to me. The experience is.

You may have felt it in meditation. In nature. On a retreat. In a dream. During a profound experience you couldn't quite explain. Those moments where the noise disappeared and, for a second, everything felt incredibly clear. You weren't trying to become anything. You just were.

And then you went back to normal life. Back to the meetings. The emails. The responsibilities. The relationship. The business. The constant thinking. And that connection became quieter again.

I know that experience very well. For a long time, I was searching outside myself for something I eventually realized I needed to learn how to access within myself. That's a huge part of why I do this work.

Actually, I want the opposite.

If you've spent years looking for answers, it's very easy for the search itself to become another pattern. Another therapist. Another book. Another retreat. Another person who might finally explain you to yourself.

And slowly, without meaning to, you start outsourcing your own authority.

I don't believe I have the answers to your life. I believe you have access to far more than you've been able to reach consciously. My job is to help you get there.

Hypnosis gives us a way of softening some of the constant analysis and going deeper into the subconscious and unconscious material underneath it.

And sometimes the experience goes deeper still. My work can involve regression, spiritual exploration, and past-life experiences when that's what naturally emerges.

I'm not interested in telling you what you're supposed to experience or what you're supposed to believe about it. I'm interested in what comes through for you and, most importantly, what changes because of it.

You can have an incredible session. You can cry. Release something. See something you've never seen before. Feel connected to something bigger than yourself.

And then what? You still have a life to go back to.

That's why I don't think about this work as a collection of hypnotherapy sessions. It's a container.

We identify what we're actually working on before we begin. We pay attention to where the wound takes the wheel. We work deeply. Then we integrate what comes through and watch what happens in your actual life.

Are you speaking differently? Making the decision? Setting the boundary? Allowing yourself to be seen? Feeling differently in the situation that used to trigger you? Moving forward with the thing you've been circling for three years?

That's the part I care about. Not whether you had an interesting experience with me. Whether your life begins to change.

This is the part most people are surprised by.

Before we start, we get specific about what we're actually working on and where it currently sits. Not a vague sense of it. An honest reading you give yourself.

Then we track it. Through the sessions, through the integration, and after.

I do this for two reasons.

The first is that it keeps me honest. A powerful session is not the same as a changed life, and it's very easy in this field for everyone involved to confuse the two. Measuring is how I find out whether the work actually landed, instead of assuming it did because the room felt meaningful.

The second is that it does something for you. When you can see a thing that has run your life for twenty years actually move, that's not a nice feeling. That's evidence. And evidence is what makes the change stick, because the part of you that has been braced this whole time finally gets shown that it's safe to stand down.

I can't promise you a result. Nobody honest can. What I can tell you is that we will both know what happened, because we'll have watched it.

There's a question that starts creeping in. What if I'm the problem?

Maybe therapy works for other people. Maybe other people can let go more easily. Maybe you're too analytical. Too self-aware. Too controlling. Maybe you'll be the person who somehow manages to stop hypnosis working too.

I've heard versions of this many times. And I understand why. If you've invested years of your life trying to change something and it hasn't completely shifted, eventually you stop questioning the methods and start questioning yourself.

I don't think you need another person promising to fix you. And I certainly won't promise you that I can.

What I can offer you is a very different way of approaching the work. One that allows us to go beyond talking about what you already understand and begin exploring what's underneath it.

Before I was a hypnotherapist, I had a very different life. I was one of the early major creators on YouTube. Business Insider once described me as one of the world's most powerful YouTube stars.

Then, in 2010 and 2011, I was diagnosed with cancer.

Alongside the medical treatment, something changed in me. I started looking differently at health, at my life, and eventually at much bigger questions.

Who am I underneath all of this? What actually makes someone whole? Where does healing come from? What is consciousness? What is this deeper thing I can sometimes feel but can't always explain?

I tried a lot. And eventually that search brought me to hypnotherapy.

What I loved about it was that it didn't ask me to choose between the different parts of myself. The rational part. The emotional part. The body. The spiritual part. There was room for all of it.

And there was a way to actually experience something rather than endlessly think about it. That's what eventually became the work I do today.

You've probably spent enough of your life doing that. There's always another version available. More successful. More productive. More healed. More spiritual. More confident. More impressive.

I'm much more interested in the person underneath all of that.

Who are you when you're not trying to prove anything? What do you actually want when you're not making the decision everyone expects you to make? What would you say if you weren't managing how it would be received?

What would your work look like if being visible didn't feel dangerous? What would your relationships feel like if you didn't need to edit yourself inside them? What happens when you trust your own inner authority more than the noise around you?

And what would it be like to experience the success you've already created without immediately needing it to become something else?

I don't know what your answers are. That's the point. They're yours.

Not because I think everyone reading this should work with me. They shouldn't.

This work asks a lot of you. The sessions themselves are immersive and run about four hours. We're not squeezing something important into a fifty-minute appointment and then sending you back into your day.

I work with four people a month. That's deliberate. It's a real day of work for both of us, and I want there to be space around it, including integration and support between sessions.

This is for someone who's ready to go into the process properly. Someone who's done enough searching to know they don't want another surface-level answer. Someone who's curious about what's underneath all of this. And someone who's willing to trust themselves enough to find out.

So let's talk first. The consultation is forty-five minutes and there's no charge. We'll look at what's happening in your life, what you've already tried, and what you actually want to change. And we'll both decide whether this feels like the right work, with the right person, at the right time.

No charge · 45 minutes · Online, in person, or by phone.
