Hypnotherapy significantly helps patients through surgery. Evidence is revealing that preoperative hypnotic preparation of the patient allays anticipatory anxiety, and allows for more restful adaptation. Evidence has supported decreased blood loss, less swelling, and consistent heart rates and pulse both during and after surgical procedures. As a partial anesthetic and a tranquilizer, hypnosis may reduce the dosage of premedication and of anesthetics.

The combination of chemical and hypno-anesthesia is stimulating serious interest as to the subconscious mechanisms that positively influence operative outcome and recovery. Postoperatively, hypnotic intervention aims to accelerate the physical and psychological task of convalescent healing.

When I work with you before surgery we prepare your mind, emotions, and nervous system so that you are more calm and confident. I also teach my client skills to bring yourself into your desired state pre-surgery, and pain management skills for your recovery. I have successfully collaborated with doctors, surgeons, and assisted living centers for my work with patients.

With prior authorization, I can attend to you in the hospital, your home, and other sites.

The below testimonial is from a client who I worked with pre- and post surgery.

"I don’t know where you came from, but I think you must be my Angel. I had my other knee replaced a few years ago, and this time I was so much more calm throughout the entire thing. I also felt much less pain than I did with the other knee replacement. i give the credit to you and your help for this. Your presence before and immediately after surgery, as well as in the rehab center, kept me so relaxed ~ I was amazed. I am very grateful, I have been telling everyone about you. Thank you so much." - A.J., Medford, Oregon
