welcome
I believe that inner health creates outer beauty, and that all beings have the ability to change and grow.
- Michelle
The connection of two philosophies.
Outside:
SKIN HEALTH
Inside:
MIND/BODY CONNECTION
How you radiate depends on more than just what you put on your skin. Feeling beautiful from the inside out is more of a holistic approach and that is part of the mind/body connection.
After many years of interacting with the skin as an esthetician/massage therapist, I wanted to know more about the integumentary system; the skin being the largest organ of the body. I was intrigued - not just to make someone look beautiful on the exterior, but as a marker for our inner being - the skin shows the state of our health.
And with the stresses we have in our lives today, it’s more vital than ever to choose a regimen that approaches both the mind and the body. That is where you will find beauty.
Want to know more about how each of these modalities, Skin Health & Hypnotherapy, can help you radiate, contact me and let's get you in the treatment room for the ultimate self care!

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."

about
"I have been seeing Michelle for facials for over 5 years now and she never fails to do an outstanding job. She is kind, knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain what she is doing and how it will benefit my skin. I always leave with glowing skin and feeling refreshed. Recently I convinced my husband to see her and he was thoroughly impressed. He raved about her and couldn’t believe I hadn’t taken him to see her sooner. If you get the chance to book with Michelle, do it now! You won’t regret it!"

SKINCARE
"I was interested in hypnotherapy and while open minded, still was not completely sure of what the results or experience would be. Michelle guided me through gently. She has such a lovely soft tone to her voice. I can't even express how AMAZING the results were. I would highly recommend Michelle for hypnotherapy!"
-Heather C.
HYPNO
HYPNOTHERAPY
According to the Mayo Clinic, hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you're under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.
Hypnosis can be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It's important to know that although you're more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don't lose control over your behavior.
"Hypnotherapy took my golf game to the next level! I lost at least 10 strokes!" - Eddie B.
Your Session:
The first session is generally between an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and 30 minutes. We begin by discussing a bit about hypnosis as well as the process, and answer any questions in an effort to create a comfortable and supportive environment. The relationship between the hypnotherapist and the client is very important to the success of each session so part of our time together will be on getting acquainted. We will then move into hypnosis using a variety of techniques, such as progressive relaxation, imagery and more.
Subsequent sessions are about an hour, starting with an update on what the client experienced between sessions and a brief discussion about what will be focused on in the current session. The goal of the session is to conclude with the client reclined and relaxed in the hypno chair.
Each session is different as there may be a variety of tools introduced, such as writing down goals or a bit of journaling and different hypnotic techniques may be used depending on the progress and what the focus is for that day. While in hypnosis, positive suggestions are delivered to the client and that is where the deep work happens - in the subconscious mind!
This process is the same on zoom, however, your chair or "comfortable spot" may not be a hypno recliner and that is completely ok!
