Whether you have found us while surfing the internet or were referred here from a friend or family member, you may have some questions. You're not alone. Over the years, I have been asked about the various modalities: What is hypnosis? NLP? EFT? What will I experience during a session? Do I have to believe in hypnosis? How many sessions will I need?

For greater ease, you can click on the questions below to go directly to the answer. If you have a question that you don't find an answer to, please feel free to email me, and I'll gladly respond.

What is a CORE Changes session?

A session lasts up to an hour during which you spend time with me to resolve a specific issue or problem. Each session is a complete piece of work leaving you whole and complete allowing you to thoroughly integrate the changes from one session to the next. (Note: The first session usually lasts an hour and a half so that I can answer any of your questions.)

Why would I want a CORE Changes session?

My clients come to me for many reasons and from all walks of life. Some of these reasons include:

• You've tried everything else to get the results and changes you want for your life without any success

  
  

• You're ready to learn about yourself in a way that empowers you to become a conscious chooser of your life's decisions




• You want to develop or excel at a particular skill




• You are ready to overcome specific blocks, barriers, or hurdles to achieve a particular goal or outcome




• You have decided to break free of life-long conscious or unconscious patterns that have been making your life difficult

What is the foundation of CORE Changes?

CORE Changes is a culmination of various bodies of knowledge. The CORE Changes process is comprised of only the specific techniques that work from those bodies of knowledge.

The approach is holistic, meaning the person is viewed as one mind-body system. During a session, I focus specifically on three key areas. First, the root cause, or how the person created the problem, not why, but how. Second, how do they maintain it. What structure or process keeps it from fizzling out on its own. What do they gain by maintaining it (secondary gains). And third, what is the best way to utilize all the resources the client comes to me with. With this insight, changes can be made, patterns and behaviors can be altered, blocks and barriers can be overcome, and skills can be enhanced.

I have found this approach works quite well in helping not only the client achieve a specific outcome, but also provides an opportunity for them to learn more about themselves, which empowers them.

Since my approach focuses on the specific inner workings of the human system, the "how" instead of the "why" you do what you do, you will find it more time and cost effective than most traditional routes.

Do you use Hypnosis in every session?

The simple answer is no. Every session may consist of a closed-eye process, but not every session will consist of a formal trance induction.

How long does a session last?

In a one to one session, a client can explore their inner workings and outcomes with adequate insight to make the changes they want. The initial session is between an hour and an hour and a half long. Future sessions are up to one hour long. This allows time to get feedback about the previous changes made, discuss the next step in your journey, and proceed with new shifts. Whatever is discussed in a personal consultation is the client's choice and is confidential. While many people like to share personal material to illustrate their situation, it is not required.

How long does it take?

Since everyone is unique in how they do what they do, their inner workings, there is no easy way to answer this question. Occasionally people can get results in the initial session. Other times, many sessions may provide the desired result.

Although on average I work with clients from three to five sessions, some clients who are either dealing with a more complex issue or those who discover more areas that they want to work on, may require more sessions.

Most sessions take place once a week, yet some clients require more time for thorough integration and choose to meet every other week. I wholeheartedly respect that, I think you should too.

What is a typical CORE Changes session like?

Each session varies from person to person and from session to session. With that being said, first it is essential to establish a relationship where you feel comfortable working with me. Then we will openly discuss what you plan to achieve while working with me as well as the specific outcomes for the particular session.

During the session, you will probably have questions for me. And I too will have questions of my own. These questions will draw attention to how you do what you do. This awareness will empower you to make specific decisions about how you would like to proceed next.

And based on your decision, we will utilize a specific NLP technique(s), or free up blocked energy via EFT, or use a hypnotic trance to make unconscious shifts, or maybe a combination of the above.

Near the end of the session, if necessary, I will reorient you back into the room, and answer any questions you have at that time. In some cases, I may at that time assign some homework for the following session.

How will I know that I achieved my result or outcome?

Sometimes this will be quite easy. You will know because the behavior has ceased or your sales have increased. In some cases, there is the obvious external shift. However, in most cases, since we are altering your inner workings, it requires you pay attention to how you feel afterwards. Sometimes these are subtle shifts, and sometimes they are quite apparent. You have to notice the differences. Are you responding to situations the way you would like to? Do you have more confidence? Are you more at ease in challenging situations?

As you pay attention to how you feel from one session to the next, you will be better able to monitor (and give feedback) of your own progress.

Do you work with all types of clients?

No. Although, I will work with any age or issue, there are times when a client isn't ready for what I have to offer. As mentioned earlier, there may be secondary gains which the client is not ready to give up. Every person is entitled to the phase of life they are in. And sometimes that phase is "lets get to work on it," and sometimes it's "let me sit with it a bit longer." And that too is perfectly okay. When you are ready to make some shifts, you are ready for CORE Changes.

And there are times when I will begin working with a client, and they will feel the need to stop and take a break. That's okay. I've been there and know what that is like. Take all the time you need. Change can be quite profound at times. Give yourself permission to change at a healthy pace for you. And when you are ready to begin again, I'll be there for you.
