Transform your brain (and career) using hypnosis
Hypnosis is a tool that facilitates a trance-like mental state to open the subconscious mind to change using relaxation, imagery, and suggestion.
Luckily, you already know how to access this state! As a creative person, you likely know what it feels like to get "in the zone" with your work. If you are a performer, you are also already trained in the practice of using imagination to influence your mental and physical states though your characters.
Using your unique, creative skill sets, in hypnosis you'll learn to harness your imagination to support your mental and physical wellbeing and set you up for success in your career and your life.

Actors are highly hypnotizable
Research shows that actors and performing artists are incredibly receptive to hypnosis (meaning it's likely to work really, really well for you!). Hypnosis is a process that closely resembles the creative process of acting: focusing the mind, grounding the body, and embracing imagined scenarios and ideas to create changes in how you think, feel, and behave.
If you're looking for an effective tool that can help you overcome your inner blocks and become the most confident and creative version of your performer self, hypnosis is a wonderful modality for you.

My experience with performance has always been a tense and nerve-ridden one. My session with Emilie helped me go through an experience where neither one of those aspects were present and therefore could show myself the possibilities for the future. I feel like I grew so much in just a short period of time in terms of knowing what is possible for me to experience the next time I step on stage. For that reason, I could absolutely see myself implementing Emilie’s hypnosis sessions into my overall practice in a more routine manner.
Working with Emilie can only move you forward with new tools and insight in your work as an artist. You’re in the driver’s seat and Emilie is a wonderful front seat partner on your personal road trip inwards.

If you have any curiosity about hypnosis at all, that means that it’s meant for you! These sessions will enhance how you feel about yourself as an actor and your experience when you are acting, and it’s a chance to get out of your head and let joy seep in instead. During my session with Emilie, I felt like I was able to surround my brain and my being with joy and that’s something I think I’ve been missing when it comes to my performing career. This really reminded me that acting gets to be filled with love and joy and that the pressure and seriousness is not required.
These sessions are catered to you and also catered specifically to actors which I think is super special! There are not many mental resources out there made specifically for performers so this is something you definitely want to take advantage of!
Emily Martinez
My hypnosis session with Emilie was very beneficial for me. The whole process felt very safe and guided and the feeling stayed with me, almost like a warm hug that continued throughout the day. I hoped to experience some peace and a quieting of my negative self thoughts, and I left feeling excited and at peace with myself knowing that I was safe in my life decisions. Emilie helped guide me there, and having someone right there with me guiding me in something specialized for me and my needs was so relaxing and just yummy to experience.
I luckily had therapy almost right after the session and it allowed me to think through different topics with less negative self-talk, and my therapist and I agree that this would be a good resource for me to return to in the future! Emilie is so kind and empathetic and soothing. They will take good care of you. Your mental health as an actor is the most important tool and attribute you have.
