Disclaimer:
Please understand that I take this very seriously and don't feel that Hypnosis is the right option for everyone. I offer hypnosis as a tool during my coaching sessions and don't offer it to everyone. I meet with my coaching clients numerous times before introducing a hypnosis session.
If you are a candidate and will be undergoing a hypnosis session, please familiarize yourself with the modality and my approach.
My approach is different than most and is customized to fit your needs. No two scripts are the same. I use the info you give me to create YOUR script.
The sessions are always at least one hour, and I always leave time to discuss any questions and insight.
Sometimes, only one session is needed. Sometimes, it takes a few sessions to get to the core of the issue. Everyone is different but I help you work through it all.
Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnosis is done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you're in hypnosis, you feel calm and relaxed, and are open to suggestions.
Hypnosis can be used to help gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It's important to know that although you're more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don't lose control over your behavior.
A lot of people assume a hypnosis session is similar to the way Hollywood portrays it in fictional movies or something of the kind. This is not very accurate. Hypnosis has been proven to be a real method of treatment. It has the power to change your mental and physical health for the better, and this is why I ask that it be taken seriously.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that the mind can exert a real and powerful effect on the body and that clients undergoing hypnosis before, during or after surgery need less pain medication, have less blood loss and heal more quickly. Evidence is showing that it can be significantly therapeutic to patients which is now influencing major hospitals to use hypnosis.
The body-mind connection is very real indeed, and just as Reiki has been embraced by many hospitals, hypnosis is now being recognized as a viable method of helping patients.
To prepare for a hypnotherapy session, the key factor is to be comfortable enough that you won’t be able to focus on anything else.
-
Wear comfortable clothing to help you relax.
-
Be well-rested so that you're not inclined to fall asleep during the session
-
Have a meal approximately 2 hours before the session. If you are hungry – this thought would be distracting you.
-
Stimulants (like coffee, for example) can also make it difficult to completely relax, so try not drinking anything with caffeine or lots of sugar for at least 2 hours prior to the hypnosis.
-
Attend the session with an open mind, believe with all your heart in a positive outcome. A Positive attitude will bring positive results. Also understand that It is important that you are the one that wants the session and you are not coming in because a family member or friend is trying to convince you to do it. For the session to be successful YOU MUST wholeheartedly believe in yourself. All Hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Put your mind, heart, and soul into the session and you should be very pleased with the results.
-
Come to the session with goals. Write down the reasons why you want to undergo hypnosis. How you think it might help you? What problems do you want to resolve?
-
Last but not at all least be very honest and ask as many questions as you wish. This session is as important to me as it should be to you. I want you to feel very comfortable and relaxed so that together we can have a promising session.

CAN YOU BE HYPNOTIZED?
Some people are naturals at receiving benefits from hypnosis. Hypnosis allows you to enter into a calm, receptive state where you can focus on helpful suggestions.
You can never be forced to do anything against your will. You, not the hypnotist, are in control. Yet, some people are more easily hypnotized than others.
The ability to be hypnotized varies among individuals, many people can experience hypnosis to some extent. It is a state of relaxed focus and heightened suggestibility that can be utilized for therapeutic, entertainment, or self-exploration purposes.

Hypnosis for Better Study Habits
I, myself, have had issues with test taking but it was through analyzing myself that I have come to realize that the issue at hand was not so much remembering what I studied but how difficult I created a negative mind set the day of the test. I found that once I was deep into the test I was now focused on finishing and felt a clearer state of mind because I had gone though my own stages of test taking, "I will fail this test", "I don’t want to be here taking this test", and "I am halfway done" and "I just need to finish this test". This third stage was the most interesting because my mindset had shifted from seeing this test as an obstacle I must either run from and not take, to now I am knee deep in it and I must finish. What a different shift in mindset. Why did I not start like this?! I went from fear to frustration and needing and wanting to finish! Being successful in exams is dependent not only on your knowledge but also your state of mind. You study and study and you know the answers but are so tense they you may not be able to recall them. Your subconscious mind has a perfect memory so being successful in study, exams and tests is less about memory and more about recall and nerves. This is where hypnosis will help.
Using hypnosis, you’ll be able to approach exams without anxiety, with a focused mind and pass with confidence. You may have heard the saying "You are what YOU eat!" Well, it is very true but this also goes for how YOU perceive yourself. It is common for us to concentrate on our perceived weaknesses rather than our strengths. I can help in guiding YOU in changing this using Hypnotherapy. Starting with altering your inner conversation is the first step. We put so much pressure on ourselves to perform better, be successful, and achieve amazing goals, yet we are actually our own greatest enemies because we don't give ourselves a fighting chance! Many of us may not have been taught excellent habits by our parents, guardians, relatives, or friends as we were growing up. It is up to you to stop allowing anyone you don't want to keep your mind believing in notions that were not yours to begin with. If anything, we were bullied on many different levels, which does make our lives both now and in the future a little more challenging. These elements all have such an impact on us.
What changes in exam performance might you anticipate following your session?
The way you study will change.
You'll become better at remembering things.
You'll provide your best effort.
You'll no longer be concerned about tests.
You'll be able to reason clearly during a test.
During tests, you'll feel at ease, confident, and composed.

"Noema was fantastic. I have much experience with Reiki and the session was very effective taking a "cloud" off of me. I felt so, so much clearer and so much better after the session. The Hypnosis was very well planned and extremely effective at helping me get over two years of grief I was struggling to get through. I will definitely use them as needed. Very compassionate people that are obviously very passionate about what they do.".

"Jimmy González is a master at his craft. He works with you as a human being, not just another number in a book. He personalizes his experience with you and takes you on a journey of self-discovery that I, personally, wouldn't trust to take anywhere else, simply because he offers a safe, calm, understanding, non-judgmental place for you to discover yourself to an extent that you wouldn't think possible. Unlike others in this field, Jimmy doesn't just read straight out of a book; each session spent with him is specifically tailored to your particular situation making the experience extremely intimate and moving. He lets YOU take the reigns and studies YOU as a person and takes that information to move forward with what he thinks would fit you as an individual. After just one past life regression session, I now hold knowledge about myself and several lives I've lived through that scarily pertain to my current waking life... if you're a non-believer, I BEG you to see Jimmy. I can honestly say that there is no other experience like the one that he offers; if you're looking for the next best thing in healing, you've come to the right place. I won't go to anyone else for this type of holistic healing, and I'll be making my next appointment soon!".

"I have known of Jimmy for quite sometime because of our mutual passion for animals and the “work” we have both done with them for many many years. I have watched as his career path changed from being an Animal Control Officer to a Spiritual Healer/Motivational Speaker. Always in awe as he seamlessly finds a way to walk a path to be there for whomever needs his calming touch and undying empathy … animal and human alike. That’s why there was such a draw to seek him out when I hit a very difficult time in my life back in September of 2021.
You see, I had lost someone I loved very much due to insecurities I never realized were living inside of me. Past relationships and a deeply devastating divorce three years prior left me broken in ways I couldn’t comprehend and because of that I never addressed my fears and pain either. I felt so many emotions with this new loss. I was filled with major anxiety and so many questions. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat and was so angry at myself for loosing the person I thought was finally my forever. I reached out to Jimmy because something told me he could help.
The first day I walked into his office or as I refer to it … his healing space … the sense of peace that came over me was immediate. With one of his warm hugs to welcome me there I knew I was going to be ok and together we would find the answers. Upon completion of our first session and hypnosis my anxiety was gone. I was amazed!!!!
I left his healing space with a better understanding of myself, my past situations and the current one which had brought me to my knees for a short while. It only took a few months of our meeting to get me back to a place where I knew myself again. To a better version of me. One with a full heart, a peaceful mind, a solid vision and a love for myself which I had lost somewhere along the way. I am stronger and happier than I have ever been and I owe that to Jimmy! His words are calming yet they challenge you to see things for a better understanding of life.
Jimmy inspires you to dig deep and look at situations from different perspectives. Through him I was able to forgive those from my past. Able to let go of insecurities that didn’t serve my future and to move forward with a more educated mind and clear heart. I will never be able to say enough good things about his beautiful soul. Yet I can tell you that he was meant to what it is he is doing and one can only benefit from your time with him.
Thank You Jimmy,
Kim 2022 😉".

"Jimmy is truly AMAZING! He has a wonderful ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. I smoked for over 30 years, so I was very skeptical that hypnosis could work for me, but I decided to give it a try, and I will forever be thankful to him. I can finally say that I am a former smoker. Thank you, Jimmy!".

"I could write books about Jimmy and my experience with his hypnosis, podcasts, mind’s eye meditation, home clearing and auric shift photos of my pup. His unique expression of the work mentioned comes through in his lifetime of lessons, compassion, insight, deep knowledge with people and animals AND all of his training in the work he dedicates his life to. This is a divine soul with a higher purpose to elevate the lives of those whom are fortunate to encounter him! As a Massage Therapist & a Reiki Healer, I am super selective with whom I allow to give me these services. Jimmy is my HEALER!! He’s a master at his craft. Don’t let my words convince you- get a session(or two) and explore the journey within his healing space in Middletown. There is also crystals, sage, and other yummy treasures for purchase if you so choose to shop while there. Well, words can only do so much. Reach out to Jimmy or just sign up for his meditation to see what all the hype is about. I promise, YOU WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL! I know I am! Thank you, Jimmy G!!! Peace & Light!
PS- I just had another hypnosis session with him to stay on track and already the progress is showing!".

"Just WOW. From the time you walk into the door until the time you leave, you can feel the positive energy and the kindness in these walls. Melissa who is the lady up front she is so knowledgeable in astrology and she’s just such a gentle person. Jimmy too, very gentle, intuitive… you can tell he REALLY cares about human and animal wellness… this is not a job to him, it’s healing, he educated us, makes you feel like so good about yourself… I walked out of there, feeling so refreshed mentally and physically. Thank you. Noema!!!!".

"Trying to find the right words to write this to share my experience. Yesterday I did a hypnosis session let me tell you it was the most relaxing amazing feeling it truly is hard to put into words . No it’s not like the s**t you see on a tv I didn’t cluck like a chicken or any of the crazy stuff. I highly recommend it but you must be open and honest with yourself and receptive to it".

"I am a transformed woman! Within days of being hypnotized by Jimmy, I have had major shifts which truly needed to happen. As a Massage Therapist and Reiki Healer, I am always seeking ways to enhance my health by removing old traumas/energetic blocks and free myself from the "dinged armour" of habitual patterns replayed over and over throughout the years. Always receiving Reiki, Massage, and the like, I knew it was necessary to find SOMEONE to allow the momentum to kick into high gear. I am honored and grateful for Jimmy's guidance and support as I move forward on my ever-healing journey."
