Child and Family Hypnosis


When children use hypnosis, they frequently experience symptom relief and/or symptom
resolution, an increase in comfort, enhanced healing and a growing sense ofself-empowerment.
The following are areas where children frequently benefit from the use of hypnosis.

When a child is ill, the stress of the experience impacts the entire family. I have found that the use of self-hypnosis by family members for stress management, sleep assistance, or other reasons frequently provides increased comfort, self-mastery and a healing role model for children.
