Rest and Sleep Support
Helping your system settle into deep rest and better sleep
Difficulty resting or sleeping is not a personal failure, nor a lack of willpower.
It is most often a sign that your nervous system has learned to stay alert for too long, without enough opportunity to fully settle.
Sleep and rest challenges can arise from many factors, including:
prolonged stress or burnout
an overactive or vigilant mind
unresolved emotional strain
physical discomfort or pain
changes in routine or environment
accumulated fatigue without true rest
When the body remains in a state of activation, even exhaustion may not be enough to bring restorative sleep.
Life doesn’t always allow us to remove the sources of strain.
I help people create the internal conditions that allow rest to return.
Working together, I help you to :
release patterns of tension that keep the system on alert
work through unresolved, recurring dreams
let go of anxiety about not sleeping, or being awake
resolve old programming that led to hypervigilance rather than sleep
create inner signals of safety that support letting go into sleep
restore natural ability to sleep, and awaken rested.
What People Notice Changing
Working with me on sleep and rest, people commonly report:
feeling calmer at bedtime
an easier transition into sleep
deeper, more restorative sleep
improved energy during the day
increasing trust in their ability to have a normal sleep cycle
What Happens in a Live Session?
All sessions are private, confidential, and one-on-one.
Live sessions are held on Zoom and in my Northampton office
I ask you questions, and you answer them,
I guide you to imagine different scenarios
I say positive things to your subconscious mind…
..while you enjoy being in a natural, healing state of relaxation.
Clients can remain aware throughout. It’s not necessary to give up control in order to benefit from this work.
There’s no pressure to perform or “do it right.”
I work with the way your mind already works.
Why the Recording is Essential
My voice is trained for this work.
Calm, steady, and deeply settling — shaped by years of vocal training, decades of teaching yoga, and over fifteen years of clinical hypnosis practice.
My scripting is advanced and nuanced.
Carefully structured language, tone, and pacing designed to work through rhythm, imagery, and association rather than force.My recording quality is high.
Created in my studio (not a recorded live session) for repeated listening, giving a clear sound, precise pacing, and a polished experience.I guide you through a structured hypnosis session, with all the time-tested instructions, language, and cues.
Think of it as a session you can use now, own forever, and come back to at any time, crafted with care, skill, and professional quality.
About My Office
My office is located at 71 King Street, Northampton, MA.
Free off-street parking is available in our lot. I am located on the 2nd floor. There is no elevator. There is a therapy dog who works with me. She is a gentle, non-allergenic 25-pound cockapoo. She is trained to assist clients.
Clients come to my office from across Western and Central Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, Northern Connecticut, and Eastern New York.
I also offer services virtually via Zoom.
Working by Zoom is a good option for some.
Zoom sessions are often more effective than people expect. Many clients find it easier to relax, focus inward, and integrate the experience when working from the comfort and privacy of their own home — without travel or scheduling strain.
Zoom is not ideal for every situation. I use clinical judgment to determine when remote work is appropriate and may recommend in-person sessions when that’s the better fit. Zoom is also commonly used for second and third sessions once the work is underway.
My Standard Protocol is:
A time-tested, structured, client-centered hypnotherapy program designed to help you interrupt the habit cycle, work through ambivalence, and establish lasting change.
Three private sessions, totaling at least 4 hours with me
Sessions are spread out over a period of weeks
Change happens BETWEEN sessions
I help you assess your progress and support you throughout the process of change.
A professionally-crafted hypnosis recording
matched to your goal
to listen to daily between sessions, and after the work is complete, for as long as it continues to support your commitment to change.
Program cost: $725, all inclusive
This is the standard way I work. It fits when
There have been repeated attempts to change,
Your commitment tends to waver,
High emotions or stress states are present,
There are multiple or complex themes,
You’re not clear yet what the goal is,
You suspect that the problem is related to past trauma,
OR, you want to give yourself the most supportive option.
A Lower-Cost Option
This is offered to make the work accessible when a smaller financial investment is needed.
Includes:
One live session with me
A Self-hypnosis recording
Program Cost: $350
Best suited when:
Your goal is clear and specific
Your budget is tight
A full multi-session program isn’t necessary
This is a stand-alone service.
It’s not intended as an introduction, a trial offer, or a lead-in to further sessions. It is intended to WORK within certain scope boundaries. If you are unsure about whether this option is for you, we can discuss it in your free consultation.
It all starts with a free phone or Zoom consultation.
I’ll gather essential information about your goals and answer practical questions about working together. We’ll clarify scope, investment, and next steps, and schedule your first session if you choose to proceed.
That’s it — no selling, no pressure, and no credit card required. Just 10–15 focused minutes to support mutual clarity and a good fit.
