Innerled Hypnosis is a gentle space to soften what’s heavy & remember what’s true.
It’s not about more effort, it’s about a new way in.
This is personalized hypnotherapy that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious mind (the part of you that’s been running the show quietly in the background).
Once we shift that, everything starts to change.
Hypnosis can help with many challenges including, but not limited to:
• Career Confidence
• Relationships & Love Life
• Fears & Phobias
• Health & Exercise Goals
• Labor & Childbirth
• Nail Biting
• Teeth Grinding & Jaw Tension
• ADHD Focus & Productivity
• Improve Sleep
• Pitching & Public Speaking
• Stress Relief
• Weight Loss
• Quitting Smoking
• Misophonia
*Please note that some treatments may require a referral from a medical doctor or licensed therapist.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Unlike traditional talk therapy or self-improvement methods, hypnotherapy involves a guided, daydream-like shift of awareness that opens the doors to your inner self, bringing you into deep relaxation and focused attention where your habits, beliefs, and emotions live.
10% CONSCIOUS MIND
90% UNCONSCIOUS MIND
By bypassing your conscious, surface-level thinking, we’ll uncover the root of what’s holding you back and gently rewire old patterns at the subconscious level- often creating real clarity and lasting change in just one or two sessions.
Hi, I’m Katie.I care deeply about helping people feel safer in their bodies and clearer in their choices. Working with me is gentle and real:
I listen first, tailor each session to what’s happening beneath the surface, and guide clients through subconscious work that creates calm, clarity, and lasting change.
CERTIFIED HYPNOTHERAPIST
-
My curiosity about the subconscious mind began with my own sensitivity to certain everyday sounds- experiences that used to trigger intense discomfort. I still notice those sounds, but hypnotherapy changed how my mind and body respond.
After one session I felt a clear, noticeable shift in what I could tolerate. What mattered most to me was having a practitioner who truly listened and took the time to understand my unique story before diving into the subconscious work.Active listening and personalized reflection is central to how I work. Innerled Hypnosis exists to offer a space where people are met as whole, unique humans. Every session is built around your story, for your success, using the wonderful & relaxing trance state to support deep, sustainable shifts.
I am trained in specialties from anxiety relief, smoking cessation to hypnobirthing and ADHD support, but what clients most often remember is how at ease they feel in session. My aim is simple: to walk alongside you as you soften what’s heavy, reconnect with your inner strength, and create change that truly lasts.

How To Start
Whether it’s chronic stress, unhealthy patterns, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this work is about meeting you where you are & helping you gently shift what’s underneath it all. I’m not here to fix you but rather to guide you along the path to your own inner strength and clarity.
01. Complimentary Consultation
This 15-minute consultation will give you the chance to ask questions, learn more about how hypnosis can help you, and get a feel for whether we're the right fit for each other.
02. First Session
From here, we'll kick things off with an introductory session. We'll have an in-depth discussion about what brings you to hypnotherapy and what you hope to get out of the process. We'll also collaborate on a customized plan to suit your needs and goals.
03. Experience Hypnosis
After our planning, we move into the work. You’ll be guided into a relaxed, trance-like state- many people describe it as deeply restful and restorative. From there, I use gentle, tailored suggestions to shift limiting beliefs, habits, and emotional reactions so you can begin moving toward your goals. You stay fully aware and in control the whole time.
04. Enjoy Your Results
While each person’s journey is different and some goals may benefit from 3–6 sessions to deepen and sustain the change, many people notice meaningful relief after just one session. We’ll decide next steps together and keep the process simple, supportive, and aligned with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes - hypnotherapy is generally very safe when conducted by a trained professional. You stay fully aware and in control the entire time; you can even open your eyes or end the session whenever you like. Side effects are rare, and the process feels more like guided meditation than anything else.
-
Absolutely. Most people fall somewhere between “medium” and “high” suggestibility, meaning they respond well to hypnotherapy. Even if you consider yourself skeptical or find it hard to relax, a skilled therapist will guide you into a comfortable, receptive state- no special “talent” needed.
-
Yes—there’s a growing body of research showing benefits for issues like anxiety, pain, IBS, smoking cessation, and more. Results vary by person and goal, but the evidence is encouraging.
-
Virtual sessions offer the same depth and safety as in-person work- with the added comfort of being in your own space. You’ll still be guided into a relaxed trance, hear the therapist’s voice clearly, and interact in real time. Many people feel even more at ease at home, which can deepen the experience.
-
Everyone’s journey is unique, so it’s hard to put a single number on success. Research shows hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective for things like pain management and anxiety relief. In my practice, I’ve witnessed clients break free from old habits, find confidence, and step into healthier routines- often after just one or two sessions. If you’re curious whether it can help you, let’s explore it together. (link to booking page)
-
Most clients can start right away with no referral needed. If you have certain medical or mental health conditions, a note from your doctor or therapist may be requested- just to ensure we’re supporting you safely and effectively.
-
Hypnotherapy isn’t a replacement for medical or mental-health care, but it’s a powerful complement. Licensed therapists treat conditions like PTSD, depression, and severe anxiety; life coaches map out action plans and accountability. Hypnotherapists focus on the subconscious patterns behind your thoughts and behaviors, using guided suggestions to shift limiting beliefs at their root- so you can take on therapy or coaching from a place of greater ease and clarity.
-
It comes down to trust and connection. Credentials matter, but what truly counts is how you feel in the space they hold. Do you feel heard? Safe? Curious? That’s why I offer a free 15-minute call: so we can meet, you can ask your questions, and we both get a sense of whether this is the right fit. No pressure- just honest conversation.
-
Occasionally, insurance plans cover hypnotherapy if it’s prescribed for a specific medical need. But most of the time- when you’re seeking support for stress relief, habit change, or personal growth- you’ll pay out of pocket. Working outside insurance lets you stay in control of your care, choose the timing and keep everything confidential.
Thank you for being here,This work is my passion, born from the desire to create a space where people can exhale, soften, and come home to themselves. It isn’t about fixing or pushing; it’s about walking alongside you as you reconnect with your strength and gently shift the patterns that have been holding you back.
My goal is to help you remove obstacles and create shifts that actually last- so you don’t have to keep coming forever.
When you’re ready, let’s get started.
With love, Katie
