Hypnotism is the practice of inducing a trance-like state of highly focused concentration, intense relaxation, and heightened suggestibility. This trance like state is a perfectly natural state of the mind that people go in and out of each day – such as right after they wake up, when they are daydreaming, and when they are “in the zone.”  Hypnosis has successfully and safely been used to help change behaviors, break habits, manage pain, or treat anxiety among other things.  

Stage hypnosis has given people a bad impression of what hypnosis is and what hypnosis can do. We have all seen those stage shows where people are instructed to do things that make them look silly - like acting like a chicken. Everyone is suggestible to some degree, but only about 1 in 10 are suggestible enough to do things like that on stage. That is why the stage hypnotist is very selective about who they choose to be their subject. No matter how suggestible you are, a hypnotist would not be able to get you to do something you really didn't want to do or that your subconscious felt would be dangerous. 

Hypnosis is all about suggestibility. With hypnosis, you are guided to a state where your subconscious is more receptive to suggestions. You are constantly receiving suggestions and giving yourself suggestions every day. The media, stores, and others are always giving you suggestions. In hypnosis we just work on getting you better suggestions. 

RTT® is not stage hypnosis. There is no “mind control,” no tricks, and no loss of awareness. You actually go into hypnotic like states multiple times a day – like when you first wake up, when you are watching a good movie, when you are daydreaming, or when you are in the groove. There are many ways to guide you into hypnosis but you can’t be forced into it and you can take yourself out of it any time you wish. With our form of hypnosis most people do not feel “hypnotized.” They just feel really relaxed and are just having a conversation with the therapist. If the therapist says something incorrectly, you will correct them. If they asked you to do something you didn’t want to, you would just tell them no.

Rapid Transformational Therapists and especially those who work at Illuminate Hypnosis LLC take your safety and success very seriously. We value your trust and would never do anything to break that trust or purposefully cause you any harm or embarrassment.

Everything can be used for good or bad or benefit or entertainment. While some people have found ways to make money using hypnosis to entertain others, it has been used throughout history for a lot of good purposes. 

Many people have resolved many physical, mental, emotional, and social problems using hypnosis far more effectively and faster than other techniques. Prior to many of our modern medicines, many doctors used hypnosis to help control pain in surgery. There was a Scottish surgeon named James Esdaile (1808-1859) who completed 261 pain free surgeries including amputations using only hypnosis. A lot of professional and high-level athletes are using hypnosis to help them in their sport.

No, that’s a myth. Hypnosis is a completely safe and natural state that you move in and out of every day, like when you’re driving on autopilot, daydreaming, or immersed in a movie. You can't stay in hypnosis even if you wanted to. While you are hypnotized, the hypnotist will say and do things to help keep you hypnotized but if they were to leave you would just wake up in a few minutes. You can also take yourself out of hypnosis whenever you want. 

You won’t. Even in hypnosis, you are still in control.

One of the reasons Rapid Transformation Therapy® is so effective is because it allows us to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious mind. We will be having a conversation to help us both gain an understanding of past events, beliefs, and feelings. However, if there is something you don’t want to share you will just tell us that or keep it to yourself. We have powerful techniques that help you uncover many things that have been buried or hidden in your subconscious, but you will never reveal anything that you don’t want to. It would be so much easier if we could read your mind, but we are not able to do that either.

With Illuminate Hypnosis LLC your privacy and safety are our top priority. We are here to help and support you and will only do things that we feel are in your best interest. Even then you are always in control and can tell us no.  

Your RTT® professional will start by meeting with you in a free discovery call. This allows them the opportunity to answer your questions and concerns. It also allows them to start gathering a little background information on you and on the problem that you want to work on. When you wish to proceed, you will schedule a time for the hypnosis session. 

A RTT® session is typically about 1 to 2 ½ hours long and can be done in person or virtually. For your hypnosis session, your RTT® professional will start by reviewing the background information you have provided and will gather some more information to ensure as complete of resolution of your symptoms as possible. They will also have you identify how you want your life to be different after the session because the suggestions work best when they are in your own words. 

Your RTT® professional will then help guide you into a relaxed state of hypnosis to enable you to find the root cause of your issue. This is a perfectly natural state we all go into multiple times a day. You will basically just be having a conversation with your therapist. The goal is to converse with your subconscious where the truth will be found. As the client, you will work alongside your RTT® professional to uncover the meaning and interpretation you created at the time and the beliefs you formed as a result. It is this understanding that is so powerful. All RTT® professionals are equipped with an array of techniques and tools that are crucial in communicating with the subconscious mind and accessing and addressing whatever blocks there may be. From there, the mind can be reprogrammed for success.

Once you have gained this understanding, your RTT® professional will help you reframe these beliefs and will help you to create new, positive beliefs. This will be reinforced with a personalized audio for you to listen to for 21-30 days to establish beneficial change going forward.

Breakthroughs are achieved by understanding the root cause rather than just addressing the symptoms of the presenting issue. This is why RTT® has such a significant impact; it addresses issues from the core for life-changing benefits.

Because RTT® is a complete, solution-based approach, it can be used in many different ways. RTT® offers a comprehensive range of transformational techniques, including ways to access the body’s innate ability to heal and restore itself to wellness from a cellular level. Science has proved that we can rewire our minds through neuroplasticity – this is why the mind has the most powerful potential on the planet. Your mind knows all the questions. It also has all the answers.

For these reasons and many more, RTT® has achieved phenomenal success in helping people overcome all kinds of physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Illuminate Hypnosis LLC specializes in infertility, smoking, fears and phobias, and weight management. However, RTT® has helped people with a wide variety of physical, mental, and emotional problems.

The experience feels slightly different for everyone. Some people feel a floating sensation while others just feel relaxed and at ease. Most people say they weren’t sure they were hypnotized because they really did not feel that different. The most important thing is if your mind is accepting suggestions. Your therapists will do some demonstrations with you to help your mind have the confidence that hypnosis is working.

 Hypnosis is not about being asleep although some people do feel sleepy. You will be aware of everything that is happening throughout the session and we will be having a conversation. You will be able to move your arms and legs and you will even move around a little on your own to get comfortable or to get a tissue.

Hypnosis guides you into a trance or dream like state to access your subconscious mind. You go in and out of this state many times throughout the day, so we know everyone can get to this state. Hypnosis is just getting you into this state on purpose. There are many different ways to guide you into hypnosis (this is called the induction). Some are really fast. Some are long and drawn out. Some use objects (such as a swinging watch), some use physical touch (like quickly pulling your arm), most use words, and some use a combination of all of these.

Just like any profession, some professionals are better than others. Some techniques are better than others. The induction Illuminate Hypnosis LLC uses is fast, simple, and easy. It is a guided imagery technique of walking you down 10 stairs. We use this induction because we also make a recording for you to listen to for 21-30 days after your session and this induction allows you to be hypnotized while listening to the recording. If for some reason you are not able to be hypnotized, we can try a different induction. However, the only people we have seen who have not been able to by hypnotized were those who were actively resisting it. As long as you are willing to try, it will work.

Many clients describe feeling lighter, clearer, deeply relaxed, and with a renewed sense of peace and possibility. Some notice immediate changes. Others experience gradual shifts over days or weeks. Some people notice only a little change after their first session, but good progress after their 2nd or 3rd. (Sometimes we have to work through the layers to get to the root cause.)  

Some people do experience some emotional turbulence as they process some of these emotions or their body adjusts. This usually only lasts for a few minutes to a couple of days but then they feel stronger, lighter, more free once these are processed. 

This is hard to generalize because everyone is different – they have different issues, different histories, and different beliefs. Some conditions usually only require one session but for some people it may take two or three. Some conditions may normally be resolved in two to three sessions, but someone may only require one.  

At Illuminate Hypnosis LLC we are not trying to make as much money as we can. The way we work is we provide the best session we can every time. We work through as much of the issue as possible and give you a recording to make further progress over the next 3 weeks. If after three weeks, you are satisfied with your progress you can listen to the recording as often as you want and can still make changes. If you feel better but think there is more room for improvement we will be happy to perform another session with you.

We do have a package deal for sessions. If you buy the 3 session package and we resolve your issue in only one or two sessions, we can just work on something else for your remaining sessions.

Change can happen for people in 3 ways:

Instant: You feel an immediate shift (mentally, emotionally and physically) during or at the conclusion of the session.

Cumulative: You see consistent shifts or improvements over time.

Retroactively: You don't notice change initially but one day you look back and realize how much things have actually changed in your life.

Other talk therapies mainly focus on the issue or challenge and try to find strategies to deal with them. There is a lot of useful information and these therapies have helped many people. RTT® on the other hand, helps the client discover the origin of the beliefs and behaviors that led to their issue instead of just helping people cope with and manage their issues or challenges. By investigating when and how the beliefs related to the issue were created, RTT® helps clients bring about change by uncovering what they don’t know rather than working with what they already know. The subconscious mind holds the key. RTT® helps clients unlock those secrets and empowers the client to make real, long-lasting change. Many of the tools use in RTT® are similar to those used in other therapies but are faster and more effective while in a relaxed and safe state of hypnosis. The difference could be compared to just pulling or cutting the top off of a weed and having it keep growing back versus pulling up the root and having it gone for good. 

Traditional hypnotherapy relies mainly on positive reinforcement and suggesting new behaviors and beliefs. Hypnosis and their generic recordings have helped many people overcome many challenges. RTT® is different from standard hypnotherapy because it uses hypnosis to find the root cause of the client’s issue. Once clients understand how and when negative beliefs and behaviors were formed, they feel empowered to make real change. This awareness and knowledge means that change can happen more quickly than with standard hypnotherapy, as the client does not need convincing that change is possible – they know it. It’s the ultimate empowering experience. RTT® embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy that are known to produce transformative effects on clients. 

RTT® goes beyond traditional hypnotherapy and focuses on identifying how, where and when unhelpful beliefs and behaviors were formed. It then utilizes the leading scientific principles of neuroplasticity to enable the creation of new neural pathways in the mind. Using a unique set of tools and techniques, RTT® supports the individual client in transforming their current issue and moving forward with a new set of more beneficial and positive beliefs.

The tools and techniques which form the RTT® method are not purely theoretical. They were developed by renowned therapist and bestselling author Marisa Peer over the course of her 30-year career. Through hands-on experience, Marisa was able to refine these good techniques into amazing ones based on what created real change, with real clients, in real sessions.

Absolutely not. Every session is completely confidential – no one will learn anything about you or our session from me. Even if we run into each other in public, I will never even indicate that I have worked with you in hypnosis. Any private information and data you provide is kept with me in a secure file and as outlined in our privacy policy and terms of conditions.  (However, in cases where there is a safeguarding concern such as risk of harm to your or others, I am obligated to provide information to the relevant authorities but will not disclose anything to anyone else.)

Hypnosis is not a guaranteed fix for anything. However, many people have gotten some amazing results for a wide variety of conditions. Many experts have mentioned that 80-90% of what people go to the doctor for ultimately can be tied back to emotions and the mind. Rapid Transformation Therapy® is a fast and powerful way to get to the root of the problem and not just addressing the symptoms. See my other website for more information on how emotions can affect the body.  - click here

With Rapid Transformation Therapy® some people have immediate and complete resolution of their problems. Some people gradually get better. Some people need a couple of sessions to resolve the issue. Some people have improvement in symptoms but not 100%. 

Sometimes people have their problem resolved. Some conditions can only be contained and kept from getting worse. Some conditions can have the progress slowed down so it does not get as bad as it would or as fast as it would otherwise. 

Most people have already gone to many doctors and specialists or tried a wide variety of treatments. You really don’t have much to lose and so much to gain.

Absolutely! Hypnosis is great in person, but Rapid Transformational Therapy® is just as effective virtually. Plus you have the benefit of being in the comfort of your own environment and not having to travel. The majority of my clients have their sessions online. The nice thing about this is I can see people who live far away from me. People I would not have the pleasure of helping if this had to be done in person. I use Google Meet for online therapy sessions as it is encrypted and requires my permission to access in order to help secure confidentiality.
