FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a VIP Loyalty program, 10 points for every hour purchased; VIP Level 1 is earned after 50 points (5 hours) = 20% off your next purchase. 40% off at VIP Level 2; and 60% off at VIP Level 3. I also offer a reduced fee for shared sessions (limited to 3 participants). 15% off for 2, 20% off for 3.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Generally, we start with a free consultation over the phone, text messages or emails. Then clients usually like to do the intake form and assessments electronically so we can get right to the interview when we start the session. The first session includes introduction, background, a time for questions and answers and a taste of hypnosis. If this is a substance-free session, clients may choose a bit of education about the effects of the substance and the benefits of quitting. The next step is the interview and behavioral analysis which is the method I use to customize your hypnosis/life coaching. At this time, I may use some relaxation tools, Reiki, NLP for clarification or to create rapid change. The work is client-centered, so the hypnotherapy skills which I apply depends on the needs and goals of each client. When we are ready, we begin the hypnosis followed by 5 to 15 minutes of debriefing, depending on the type of hypnosis. The first session can last up to 2 hours for Substance Release and 90 minutes for all other hypnosis.
