Integrative
Integrative hypnotherapy is an orientation to hypnotherapy that leverages both classic hypnotherapy approaches with a variety of other modern tools and techniques that are not hypnotherapy per se, but which are powerful hypnotic adjuncts and transformational tools to complement the foundational classic hypnotherapy work that we do in a session. With such a range of tools at our disposal, this means that your sessions are truly bespoke and tailored to you, for optimal transformative results. My integrative approach draws from neuroscience, energy psychology, somatic therapies, gestalt work, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, and a variety of psychological approaches/disciplines, creating a comprehensive toolkit that addresses transformation on multiple levels simultaneously. Rather than using only traditional hypnotic inductions and suggestions, I can incorporate elements like breathwork, body awareness, and emotional regulation techniques as the session unfolds organically, meeting you exactly where you are for maximum effectiveness.

Clinical
Clinical hypnotherapy means applying therapeutic techniques to real-world health and psychological challenges within appropriate scope of practice. They do not diagnose, treat, or prevent any illness or psychiatric maladies. However, trained clinical hypnotherapists offer a powerful adjunct to the client's medical and psychiatric care teams by supporting innate healing mechanisms, providing symptom management, and addressing possible underlying emotional or psychological dynamics that may contribute to the condition. My clinical training enables me to work with a wide spectrum of conditions - from pre-surgical anxiety and post-operative healing support to supporting relief from symptoms of chronic conditions such as IBS, chronic pain management, and stress-related symptoms. This clinical foundation means understanding when physician collaboration is needed and working within ethical boundaries. My approach addresses both symptom relief and deeper healing, while extending beyond clinical issues to help clients transcend old problems and open pathways to peak performance and optimal living.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based transformational technology for profound and lasting changes for how people automatically think, act, feel, and perceive the world. Delivering carefully-crafted language patterns and the active imagination to clients in a profoundly relaxed state, hypnotherapy bypasses our normal mental filters to create change at the level of the subconscious mind, effectively 'updating' or 'reprogramming' the implicit blueprints for the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and perceptions one enacts on 'autopilot.' It is a profound option for those that seek deeper support beyond what traditional methods typically offer as well as equipping individuals with an exceptional performance edge and self-actualization. The hypnotic state maintains your full awareness and personal agency while creating optimal conditions for subconscious transformation. This direct access to the subconscious allows us to address limiting beliefs, resolve emotional blocks, eliminate unwanted patterns, and install empowering new resources rapidly and effectively, creating lasting transformation that feels natural and is authentic.
Certified. Most hypnotherapy credentialing is a Wild West, with many certifying bodies issuing credentials that are meaningless outside of the issuing institute/program, and most of which require no live, supervised, in-person training. The American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE) is one of the near-exclusive professional bodies that sets and maintains professional standards, offering top-notch accreditation for exceptional training programs, such as the Hypnotherapy Training Institute (HTI) of Corte Madera, CA. ACHE-Clinical Hypnotherapy graduates have undergone 600+ hours of live, in-person, supervised training from some of the field's best. Working with hypnotherapists that have achieved ACHE credentialing means you can be sure you are working with highly competent practitioners that adhere to the standards of practice and who stay current with developments in the field. My ACHE certification represents intensive time in dedicated study, practical application, and ongoing professional development. This rigorous training covers advanced hypnotic techniques, clinical applications, ethics, scope of practice, and client safety protocols. The comprehensive curriculum includes extensive practice with real clients under expert supervision, ensuring graduates can handle complex cases with confidence and skill. When you work with an ACHE-certified clinical hypnotherapist, you're choosing a practitioner committed to excellence, continuous learning, and the highest professional standards in the field of transformational healing.
Beyond my ACHE Clinical Hypnotherapy certification, I am also a Certified Regression Specialist, representing an advanced form of hypnotherapy in which the client is guided through profound healing experiences that access and resolve issues from earlier life experiences at a deep level.
Additionally, I hold certification in Hypnotic Dreamwork, a specialized modality created by Randal Churchill that uses the symbolic language of dreams as a gateway to subconscious transformation and insight.
My Master's degree in Psychology provides a nuanced understanding of the mind and depth approaches to deep, transformative healing work, grounding my practice in both academic rigor and clinical wisdom. This comprehensive educational foundation allows me to work with complex internal dynamics to support clients’ self-healing, while maintaining the highest standards of professional practice.
"I was hesitant to work with Skye in the beginning due to me wanting an in person provider, but now i’m extremely grateful I decided to give her a chance! ... After only 2 sessions i feel so much more relaxed and validated in my emotions then i have with years of traditional therapy."I
“It's convenient that [Skye] works virtually and has flexible hours, which makes it easier to fit in a session in a busy schedule. I recommend working with her!”
Serving Clients Nationwide Through Evidence-Based Virtual Hypnotherapy
I provide professional hypnotherapy services to clients throughout the United States via secure video sessions. Clinical research published in peer-reviewed medical journals demonstrates that virtual hypnotherapy achieves a 65% clinical response rate compared to 76% for in-person sessions—a statistically non-significant difference proving equivalent therapeutic effectiveness.
Stanford University brain imaging studies confirm that the same neurological mechanisms activate during hypnosis regardless of delivery method, while research shows 52% of clients actually prefer virtual sessions for the enhanced comfort and relaxation of their home environment.
Virtual sessions eliminate geographic barriers, reduce costs, and often create more effective therapeutic conditions than clinical settings. Studies indicate that 71% of virtual hypnotherapy clients would have been unable to access treatment without the remote option, making this delivery method essential for expanding access to evidence-based care. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, habit change, or performance enhancement, you can receive the same high-quality hypnotherapy that has helped thousands of clients nationwide achieve their goals from the comfort of your own home.
