Weekly sessions, or three days that move the whole thing

Sessions are 60 minutes online, $250, paid one at a time. The three-day intensive is three sessions in one week, $1,500, for the thing that cannot wait. The Premium option is three months of close access, $5,000. Every session ends with a recording made for you. No insurance; HSA and FSA cards work.

Lifestyle hypnotherapy: what I actually mean by it

Most people think of hypnotherapy as something you do for a problem. You have a phobia, you get six sessions, it goes, you leave.

That is a legitimate use and it is not the one most founders need.

What founders need is somewhere to put the week down. An hour that belongs to you, where nothing is being asked of you, no decision is waiting, and nobody needs you to be the one holding it together. Not a treatment episode. A standing part of how you run your life, the way you would treat sleep or training — which is why I call it lifestyle hypnotherapy.

The clinical work happens inside that. But the frame matters, because founders who treat this as a problem to be fixed tend to stop the moment the acute thing eases, and then arrive back eighteen months later with the same nervous system and a worse year behind them.

Why weekly, specifically

Four reasons, and I want them to make sense to you rather than being a policy.

1. The gap is where the pattern rebuilds. A nervous system that has run hot for two years re-establishes that baseline quickly. Weekly is close enough together that each session starts from the last one rather than from scratch.
2. It is the dose the evidence actually uses. The controlled trials showing real stress reduction ran weekly sessions over several weeks. Research on hypnosis for anxiety and sleep uses courses, not single appointments.
3. Regulation is a skill, and skills need reps. The recording between sessions is the practice; the session is where it gets built and corrected.
4. It is the only hour nobody can move. That sounds trivial. For a founder whose calendar is entirely other people's priorities, having one fixed hour a week that is yours turns out to do real work on its own.

Most people run six to eight weeks, then move to fortnightly or monthly. Some keep the weekly hour indefinitely because it has become the thing that makes the rest work.

What we work on

• Sleep and the 3am wake-ups. First to move, usually.
• The always-on hum — the state your family experiences as you being absent while physically present.
• The swing. Unhooking your sense of yourself from a number that moves weekly.
• Your relationship, and specifically the pattern where the business escalates and your partner does not, so he loses by default every single time.
• Anxiety that looks like competence — the hardest kind to catch, because it gets rewarded.
• Payroll fear, including in people whose numbers are objectively fine.
• Clarity — the capacity to see your own positioning without stress distorting it.

The three-day intensive

If weekly genuinely does not fit your life, or if something is happening now — a sale, a launch, a separation, a collapse — three consecutive days does in one week what weekly does in two months.

Three days, roughly three hours a day, online. Day one maps what is actually happening and gets your system down out of alarm. Day two is the deep work — the pattern, the part of you that believes stopping is dangerous, the relationship. Day three consolidates it and builds what you leave with, including your own recordings.

Co-regulation is the piece people ask about. Your nervous system settles in the presence of a settled one; that is not a metaphor, it is how the system works. Over three days of sustained contact, that does something a scattered hour cannot. It is also why I keep these small and do not run more than one at a time.

The premium option: what's included

This is the most access I offer. For three months you have me on your side, and everything below is included in the price.

Up to three sessions a week. When something is moving, once a week is not enough. You can book up to three sessions a week.

You can message me during the week. Directly, not through a portal. The hard days don't wait for your appointment.

Custom recordings. I make recordings from our sessions and update them as the work changes, so you have them at home.

An emergency session within 48 hours. Something urgent happens at work or at home. A deal falls apart, a big fight with your husband, a hard conversation you have to have tomorrow. You need to talk to someone. We set up an extra session within 48 hours. This is not a mental health crisis service. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.

Your team. I can run a group hypnosis session or a workshop on stress and mental health for your team or your business partners, so everybody is on the same page.

How your nervous system and your business connect. We go deep on this. How your stress shows up in your decisions, your pricing, how you lead and how you talk to clients. And how the business shows up in your body and at home.

It runs for three months, agreed before we start, so we both know where it ends. If you're not sure you need this much, start with weekly sessions. Ask me and I'll tell you honestly which one fits.

What the evidence actually supports

I would rather you had the honest version than a persuasive one.

• Anxiety — strong. A meta-analysis of 17 trials found the average person treated with hypnosis improved more than about 84% of untreated controls, with effects holding at follow-up.
• Sleep — promising. In a review of 24 studies, 14 found hypnosis helped sleep. Most of the studies are small.
• Stress — moderate, with caveats. Controlled trials show reductions; the reviewers also say the study quality needs to improve.
• Your business — my experience, not a study. I can't promise more money. What I see is that when the stress comes down and you understand your patterns around money, you make decisions from a different place.
• It works better combined than as a stand-alone — which is why integration and coaching sit alongside it rather than after it.
