Welcome to Hobson Hypnosis
At Hobson Hypnosis, I create an individual experience focused on your needs and goals. I explain the process in detail so you feel comfortable and confident to make the changes you desire with lasting success!
It’s important to know that while under hypnosis, you’ll never say or do anything that you wouldn’t normally do. There’s no fear of clucking like a chicken (unless you really want to) or any other humiliating or embarrassing behavior.
You’ll remember everything that happens during and after the session is over. You are invited to record all or part of the session to review at a later date.
Hypnosis for Care-Givers
Self-Care Is Crucial for Care-Givers
Due to my own family circumstances, I have a special place in my heart for care-givers. I understand what they are going through and how they can benefit from hypnosis. Whether you are caring for your family or caring for a disabled or elderly person, taking good care of yourself is just as important for you as for the people that are in your care.
While many people may see self-care as selfishness, the truth is self-care is crucial for a care-giver’s overall well-being. Self-care is especially important because the time and energy that is necessary to provide care for another may result in you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and exhausted. Under hypnosis you will be able to understand why you do what you do and discard old patterns and create healthier behaviors.

You don’t have to drown in stress. Relief is within reach. Let’s get you back to a place of clarity, peace, and strength—even in the midst of chaos.
Can you be hypnotized?
The ability to be hypnotized is kind of like the ability to draw a picture or carry a tune: Some people have it and some don’t. It’s estimated that only 5 percent of adults are unable to achieve any kind of hypnotic state; the rest of us fall somewhere along a range of “hypnotizability.” Curious to know if you’d be susceptible? This quiz will give you an idea.
