“My hypnosis session with Elana was transformative and helped me to manage a stressful situation at work that was causing a lot of anxiety... Elana tailored the session exactly to meet my needs so that I was co-creating the experience with her to get the most out of it.”
What is Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration, the kind many of us experience on a daily basis. When you’re relaxed and your concentration is so strong that you don’t hear the dog barking next door or notice that the sun has gone down, you’re in a light hypnotic state.
Most of us enter hypnotic states every day, like when you’re so absorbed in a book or movie that you don’t notice someone calling your name.
William J. Bryan, the founder of the American Institute of Hypnosis, writes that the hypnotic state produces 3 things: “(1) an increased concentration of the mind, (2) an increased relaxation of the body, and (3) an increased susceptibility to suggestion.”
The subconscious mind becomes open and suggestible during this state of relaxed and focused concentration. That means we can use it to help the mind discard habitual but unproductive thought patterns.
We can replace those old thought patterns and habits with new, more productive thoughts and behaviors–ones you consciously choose to employ. And the best part is, these new thought patterns are tailored for your success and continue long after you come out of hypnosis.
Your conscious mind knows all about the changes you want to make. But sometimes it’s the subconscious mind that holds you back and keeps those changes just out of reach.
With hypnosis, we get your subconscious mind on board with what your conscious mind is already aiming for. When these two parts of your mind are aligned, you stop struggling with that push-pull feeling. Making an intentional change then comes so much more naturally.
When you take control of your thought patterns and behaviors, you take control of your life.

“Elana helped me re-frame my approach to quitting smoking. I was able to conquer my nicotine addiction by transforming my relationship with cigarettes. I highly recommend Elana— she will make you feel comfortable in a judgement free zone while assisting you on your own personal journey to quit smoking.”
“Working with Elana was just what I needed to get me in the right mindset [for an upcoming surgery]. Elana’s tremendous ability to listen helped me articulate exactly what I was afraid of and what I wanted to feel instead. She gave me concrete tools for ridding myself of unproductive emotions, helping my mind create new, positive scripts. When I was finally wheeled into the operating room, I was calm, optimistic and ready for whatever came next, exactly how I wanted to be.”
