We each come into this world as a unique expression of life. 

Holding within us a dream, a path, a purpose that sets our heart on fire and offers a unique gift to our world. 

A reason for being.

Yet often this reason for being, is forgotten. We lose our way and sight of the things that mean the most to us.

Instead we settle for a life that our society tells us will make us happy. We unconsciously become programmed with beliefs about who we should be and the roles we should play. We become hurt by the pain of our lives are early on and lose faith in ourselves. 

Choosing money over meaning, security over purpose and settle in relationships instead of choosing passionate and true love. 

This leads to feelings of anxiety, anger, depression and a deep sense of an unfulfilled life. We lose faith in ourselves and the significance of our lives. 

We begin to believe that these emotions are just the way it is, and find ways to cope within this dysfunctional existence. 

If you find yourself reading this today, then take this as a sign that you are being called to a higher path.

I want you to know you are deeply significant and within you exists the power to awakening your inner potential. 

I am here to remind you of your incredible value as a human being and to invite you to experience your heart in its fullness. 

When we suffer, our heart cries out to us, to be heard, to be healed, to be awakened. 

Regardless of how lost we may feel, there is a beautiful path to reigniting this sense of passion and purpose within. The heartbreak, the loss and the fear that you have felt are you guiding lights to your healing. 

Mindfulness practice calls upon us to live a more aware and conscious life. To become the compassionate witness to the emotions, beliefs and thoughts that have driven our life story. To free ourselves and others from blame, control and demands and open up to the freedom of responsibility for our lives. 

Through an increased sense of awareness of the unconscious cycles of thinking and emotional patterns that have caused us to suffer, we can experience the peace and well being that comes from living an intentional life. 

Mindfulness is your inner guide home, to true peace and happiness. Once you gain insight into your own inner value and completeness through mindfulness meditation practice, you will no longer feel the need to do things that do not align with your highest values. 

To know that your worth does not depend on how much money you have, what kind of relationship you are in our how successful you are, is to know what it means to be free. 

When we face our suffering, we rediscover ourselves. Through presence and opening to our emotional pain, we heal and discover how ur inner resources of love, compassion and wisdom.

As you integrate mindfulness meditation practice into your daily life as well as the principles of Mindfulness into your relationship with yourself, others and your world you will see your life transform into something truly beautiful.

This is a way of changing from the inside out, and as you do, you will see the beauty, the love, the wisdom, the inner richness and completeness of who you are, reflected perfectly in your world. 

You won’t need to look for the perfect job, the perfect partner or the perfect place to live to make you happy. 

Instead you will be happy and this happiness will be reflected as a partner, career and home that enhance this happiness. 

Our work together will begin a profound journey inward  discovering your limitless potential to live and breathe an intentional life.

A life where the heart and mind meet and you can create your dreams and aspirations anew. 

On this journey you will experience the release that comes with healing emotional and mental blocks through deep and insightful conversations and guided hypnotherapy.

This work is a path toward waking up to your life, to your power and potential to radically change your life and manifest conscious relationships, path and purpose and a profound and meaningful connection with your innate creative power.

Our work is collaborative process; through deep presence, commitment and self recognition a fertile ground for radical change is created.

I will act as a mirror, reflecting your power back to you, time and time again until you fully awaken to this capacity. 

I am devoted to providing a compassionate and enlightening path toward self knowledge and empowerment.

The path ultimately culminates in you being your own therapist, best friend and greatest teacher. 

I founded Awaken Hypnotherapy in Los Angeles California and currently practice in both California and on the East Coast. 

I currently see clients via Skype across the world, in person and through teaching workshops.

My approach is simple. Heart Awakening and Mind Empowering.

Heart Awakening simply means connecting you with what brings you joy, love, inspiration, meaning and passion to your life and healing the blocks that have kept you from this. Reigniting within you, a sense of path, purpose and authenticity.

Mind Empowering is the process of illuminating empowerment within your mind.

I will be your guide toward your own inner power, wisdom and love.

I will walk beside you as you cultivate a vision that embodies your highest goals and aspirations.

Guiding you toward your own natural resources and abilities to take this vision from thought to experience.

Recognizing and breaking down any mental barriers that have limited you in the past and replacing them with highly evolved understandings that unlock your inner potential for joy, freedom and true happiness.

 Hypnotherapy is a revolutionary modality, it ushers in a much needed waking up and shift in the world of psychology. 

It moves beyond the paradigm of diagnosing and medicating. It views the glass half full and not empty, meaning it sees problems as answers to recognizing your potential for transformation. 

Hypnotherapy is derived from the word hypnosis which means a highly focused state of concentration. This is the kind of state you see in great sports players or geniuses, a state of supreme focus that allows them to have self mastery over a task. This state is created by deepening a persons capacity to relax deeply and then used therapeutically to achieve any goal they may have. 

It guides you to the greatest resource, the pot of gold, your subconscious mind.

It teaches you to understand, work with and master your minds creative potential to manifest the Reality You Want To Experience.

It moves you out of Reactive Mode into Creator Mode.

A breaking point occurs when a person feels like they can not tolerate a certain situation or emotional state anymore. This is when the conscious mind can no longer repress the unconscious mind and the person feels overwhelmed and seeks change.  

This is what I reframe as a Discovery Opportuniy.

Instead of looking at the issue as negative, we take it as a powerful opportunity for change. A sign post from the mind to uncover the Why, When and How of the issue and what it is revealing about your underlying beliefs. 

The most powerful Change State is the ground of Raw Vulnerability.

Once you can connect with the raw emotion of this issue and how your subconscious mind has been unconsciously creating your life thus far then you are completely empowered to change your underlying beliefs and transform every aspect of your life through this Change State.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Media and Communications from the University of Natal South Africa. I chose this combination specifically as I believe that the most powerful way to help people is to communicate shared hopes, dreams, struggles and path to healing through the media. 

This idea has now blossomed into a reality, through blogging, social media and teaching I have seen the incredible healing power of sharing compassion and wisdom with so many wonderful individuals across the world. 

I attended the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the leading and only accredited college for therapeutic hypnotherapy in the country. The program focuses on the therapeutic application of Hypnotherapy and offers a year long clinical training program with a 6 month residency. After over 1600 hours of training I graduated with honors as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I am continuously expanding my education in the field with continued education units in the field of hypnotherapy, psychology and self improvement.
