I have been certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists since 1999 and also have Advanced Certification as a 5-Path Practitioner (5 Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnosis) and 7th Path Self Hypnosis by the Banyan Hypnosis Center in MN. I have been Certified in Advanced Weight Loss Techniques by Dr. Tom Nicoli, of "The Date Line Weight Loss Challenge." Additionally, I am a member of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, a member of the National Federation of Hypnotists and a Quantum Focusing Trainer as well as a Reiki Practitioner.
Prior to becoming a hypnotherapist my professional experiences have been primarily in administration, both in the public sector and in the dental and mental health profession. After the loss of my son *Blue, in 1996, I fought hard to overcome my grief. Hypnotherapy proved to be of tremendous help to me, leading to a career in hypnosis.
Because of my unfortunate personal experience I created and for many years volunteered my services on an internet grief group list, at Grief-Net.org assisting newly bereaved parents of substance abusers learning to cope with their losses. Additionally, I co-authored a book, titled, "Between Two Pages, Children of Substance", along with other GriefNet parents.
I have co-facilitated weekend workshops for bereaved and have also facilitated seminars for the bereaved sponsored by Baystate Hospice at the Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, MA.
When given the opportunity, I work with Hospice as a therapeutic volunteer through both the Baystate VNA and Hospice program at the Franklin Medical Center and the Franklin County Hospice Program to assist the terminally ill and their families during difficult times. I have presented in-service programs for the staff and volunteers.
It is an honor for me to work cancer patients in achieving wellness through guided imagery and hypnosis both in private sessions and group settings. I have helped cancer patients relieve their pain, nausea, anxiety, and to fall sleep more easily. It is always an honor to work with cancer patients. There is of course, a reduced fee for people suffering from cancer, seeking help with the side effects of their diagnosis and treatment. I am certified as a Reiki practitioner - specializing in hospice care.
I welcome cancer related programs and/or institutions to take advantage of hypnosis to compliment traditional medical treatment. Numerous scientific studies have shown that the mind can exert a real and powerful effect on the body and that patients 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.
