Integrative hypnotherapy and coaching that works at the level where real change actually happens.
Book a session
Something feels off. You're not sure what. Let's find out together.
Maybe it's quiet, a low hum of unease you can't quite name. Maybe it's louder than that. Either way, you sense there's more beneath the surface than you're currently living, and you're ready to actually feel your way toward it, not just think your way there.
Hypnotherapy is a full, guided process built around you, session by session. This meditation is a smaller taste of that same territory: a few minutes of focused calm, guided by my voice, so you can get a feel for how I work and try a simple form of self-hypnosis before you book anything.
Every session moves through the same arc. Safety to be fully yourself. Access to the wisdom that's already there. A path back to ease. All sessions are held virtually, so you can do this work from wherever you are.
A standalone session. A place to begin, or a return to when you need it.
A full arc of work for real, lasting change. Not a single fix, but a sustained return to yourself.
Focused, grounded conversation for a specific decision, block, or moment you're moving through.
Ongoing partnership for those ready to do sustained work, session by session.
I've always been fascinated by connection, between people, animals, nature, everything we move through and experience. A sense that we're all part of the same thread, and that we're always, quietly, trying to feel it more deeply.
I've felt that thread fray in my own life too, in moments that pulled me away from myself. Understanding how we find our way back is what led me here: working with people whose lives look like they're working, even when nothing inside quite flows the way it should. This work isn't about fixing anything. It's about helping you drop beneath the noise and trust what's already true.
My path began with philosophy, then psychology, including Masters research in psychoneuroimmunology, the science of how mind and body shape one another, and led to a Level 5 Higher Diploma in Hypnotherapy and health coaching certification. I work integratively, drawing on whatever actually serves you. Outside this practice, I lead work at the intersection of AI safety and behavioural change at a University of California institution, helping the organization navigate what real change looks like at scale.
— Emily
"I came to Emily because I was experiencing blocks at work. I was expressing myself as one person at home and another in the office, in an attempt to show a version of authority in my leadership role that I thought would gain me greater buy-in. Emily worked with me on believing in and trusting my authentic strengths, and leaning into those in such a way that since my sessions, I have had more confidence in using my voice and leading with the full authority of the experienced and skilled woman that I am. Without the burden of attempting to live up to a learned standard, I am free to lead authentically, and it's making a real impact."
"The work I did with Emily was transformational. It sounds so easy to say that, but I truly feel so different now. I feel more like me, like layers have been peeled back. Now that I've experienced this, it would be really hard for me to go back to how things were before. When we first met, I found it quite hard to explain what I wanted out of our sessions, but now I can clearly say I was just completely out of touch with who I was and what I wanted. Working with Emily helped me unearth those things again, and I feel so much clarity with how I move about and make decisions. I now enjoy playing around with how I want my life to look. It feels fun and joyful instead of confusing and helpless."
"Emily is focused and deliberate. She made no assumptions about me but instead took the time to properly understand where I was coming from, to hear me and see me with my situation. Each session built progressively on the last, so that I could experience the progress and know that this change would be long term. The most profound shift I have come away with, and that Emily reinforced, was that all change was from within, so I am able to continue this change myself."
Every session moves through the same arc: safety, wisdom, peace. We start by creating enough safety for you to actually settle. From there, hypnotherapy or coaching work helps you access what you already know but haven't been able to hear clearly. Sessions are conversational as much as they are anything else. You're never "out" or unaware of what's happening.
No, you don't need to prepare anything, and you don't need any prior experience with hypnotherapy. You remain in control at all times, and I'll guide you at every step of the way.
It depends on what you're working through. Some people feel real movement in a single session; most benefit from the sustained arc of a six-session programme. We'll talk about what makes sense for you before you commit to either.
Hypnotherapy works at a deeper, more subconscious level, helpful for patterns, anxiety, and change that hasn't shifted through willpower alone. Coaching is a more conscious, structured conversation, helpful for decisions, direction, and working through something specific in real time. If you're not sure which fits, reach out and we'll figure it out together before you book.
All sessions are held over video, wherever you are. You'll need a private, comfortable space where you won't be interrupted. Hypnotherapy is equally as effective virtually as it is in person.
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a well-established, evidence-based approach, and you remain aware and in control throughout every session. There's no loss of consciousness and nothing happens without your agreement. As with any therapeutic approach, it isn't the right fit for every individual or every condition, which is part of what we cover before we begin working together.
Hypnotherapy is safe for the vast majority of people, but certain conditions need to be considered before we begin. This is covered as part of your intake, so we can make sure the approach is a good fit for you before your first session.
Yes. I'm based in California, USA, but working virtually means location isn't a barrier. Wherever you're based, we'll find a time that works for both of us.
Yes, everything you share is kept confidential. During intake, I ask for information that's relevant to your coaching or hypnotherapy work, accessed by me only. Full details are on the Privacy & Disclosures page.
