Hi, I'm Demo Practitioner.
Clinical hypnotherapist in Asheville. 10 years. Two hundred clients. One thing in common with all of them.
Clinical hypnotherapist in Asheville. 10 years. Two hundred clients. One thing in common with all of them.
Ten years ago I was lying awake at 3am with a heart that wouldn't stop racing, convinced something was wrong with me.
I'd tried CBT. Meditation apps. The wine. Therapy. Nothing was actually shifting. The constant background hum of dread was still there. The 3am wake-ups were still there. I felt like I was managing my own life rather than living it.
What finally worked was hypnotherapy. Not the stage-show kind. Not the swinging-watch kind. The gentle, evidence-based, deeply unsexy kind that quietly rewires the patterns your nervous system is stuck in.
"Within six sessions the 3am wake-ups stopped. Within twelve, the background hum was gone. I kept waiting for it to come back. It didn't."
Two years later I trained at the Hypnosis Training Academy. 10 years and 200+ clients after that, I now do the same work for other people in Asheville, and online for clients nationwide.
The one thing all my clients have in common: they've already tried the obvious things, and the obvious things haven't worked. If that's where you are, I might be able to help.
My approach
I trained at the Hypnosis Training Academy (Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist). My methods are grounded in clinical research, not mysticism. If a technique doesn't have evidence behind it, I don't use it.
Every client I see is fully informed before we start. You'll know what we're working on, why, and how. There are no surprises in my sessions. You can stop, pause, or change direction at any point.
I see no more than 18 client-hours per week. That's deliberate. It lets me hold the work properly, prepare for each session, and not burn out. If you book with me, you're not a number.
If hypnotherapy isn't the right tool for what you're working with, I'll tell you honestly, and I'll point you to someone who can help. I'd rather lose a client than waste your time.
