Happy Whole Human® hypnotic coaching services and self-hypnosis MP3 files are designed to complement our HWH® coaching programs and to supplement our Happy Whole Human® Holistic Wellness Coaching and other Do-It-Yourself offerings. Hypnotic coaching is not therapy or medical treatment and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
Hypnosis is a way to access the untapped power of the mind. Hypnosis is not sleep, but an altered state of consciousness in which a person accesses that part of his or her mind that is capable of making lasting positive changes. The outer layer of the mind, or what we think of as consciousness, deals with intelligence, reality, and logic. The inner mind is concerned with emotion, imagination, and memory, as well as the autonomic nervous system that automatically controls our internal organs (i.e., how we breathe or send oxygen to our blood cells without using the conscious mind). The unconscious mind knows how to work without the conscious mind directing it.
The transformative power of hypnotic coaching helps to replace internalized limiting beliefs with positive messages and attitudes. HWH self-hypnosis is a way to access the untapped power of your mind through guided meditation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. In this state of intense relaxation and concentration, the mind is able to focus on positive suggestions about desired responses, attitudes, and behaviors. These suggestions are surprisingly powerful in creating positive change.
Hypnosis is usually considered to be a complement to coaching or counseling rather than a treatment in itself. It is a helpful supplemental tool because the relaxed state allows a person to be more open to changing deeply held beliefs, visualizing the attainment of goals, and overcoming subconscious obstacles.
Use this powerful tool to facilitate transformative change while you are in a deeply relaxed, receptive state.
Happy Whole Human® self-hypnosis is designed to modify undesirable behaviors, emotional content, and attitudes, and to support habits, stress management, relaxation, focus, confidence, performance, and personal development.
Once critically viewed as unscientific, hypnosis is now being used successfully in a variety of clinical contexts worldwide, including during operations at the medical schools of Harvard and the University of Iowa. According to Carol Ginandes of Harvard Medical School, “Hypnosis has been used in Western medicine for more than 150 years to treat everything from anxiety to pain, from easing the nausea of cancer chemotherapy to enhancing sports performance.”
Even the Wall Street Journal has documented how hypnosis has entered the mainstream. It is also widely used for headaches and improved academic and sports performance.
Dr. David Spiegel, Stanford University researcher, asserts that, although we don’t fully understand how it works, there is significant evidence that hypnosis can be effective in helping people reach into their own unconscious resources to solve problems normally beyond their ability. The British Psychological Society concurred, stating that hypnosis is a valid subject for scientific study and research and a well-researched approach. Enough studies have now accumulated to suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine, psychiatry, and psychotherapy.
Research has linked hypnosis to meaningful benefits, including reduced pain, lower anxiety, relief of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms and better sleep.

HWH hypnotic coaching applies these methods to coaching goals: changing habits, managing stress, building confidence, improving sleep routines, and moving through grief and loss. It is not a treatment for medical or mental health conditions. If you are being treated for a condition, we work alongside your provider or refer you. See our contraindications to hypnosis.
