What Is Hypnosis? | Hypnotherapy Benefits & How It Works with Valentina

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind — one that we all experience every day. Ever zoned out while driving and missed your exit? Or been so deep in thought that you didn’t hear someone calling your name? That’s hypnosis.

In this state, your mind becomes deeply focused and more open to suggestion — not in a scary way, but in a way that lets you make real, lasting changes. It can feel like deep relaxation, a dreamy in-between state, or even just a quiet sense of clarity. Some people don’t even realize they’ve been in hypnosis, because it feels so familiar.

And here’s something important: all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You’re always in control. I simply guide you into the state — like a supportive travel companion — but you’re the one doing the work.

How Hypnosis Can Help

Hypnosis can be a powerful tool for change. It works on the subconscious mind, where our behaviors, habits, and beliefs are formed. By accessing this deeper part of the mind, we can make lasting shifts that may seem hard to achieve with just willpower alone.

Hypnosis is especially effective for:

• Changing Habits: Overcome unwanted behaviors like overeating, procrastination, or negative thinking.
• Self-Confidence & Personal Growth: Rewire limiting beliefs and build confidence in all areas of life.
• Reducing Stress & Anxiety: Calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and return to a place of inner peace.
• Quitting Smoking: Break free from the addictive patterns and replace the urge to smoke with healthier, more empowering habits.

What to Expect During a Session

During a session, you’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state. The process feels natural and peaceful, almost like daydreaming. You may notice a sense of heaviness or lightness, or just feel very calm.

While in this relaxed state, your mind becomes highly focused, which allows us to work directly with the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that are holding you back. You’ll still be fully aware of your surroundings and in complete control throughout the process.

Hypnosis & Quitting Smoking

Hypnosis is an excellent tool to help people quit smoking. It works by changing the subconscious triggers that cause the urge to smoke, allowing you to let go of the habit without the usual stress or cravings.

It’s important to note that hypnosis doesn’t require you to be “put to sleep” or to lose control. Instead, it’s about guiding you to a state where you can unlock your own potential to quit smoking, for good.

Most clients experience a profound sense of relaxation and clarity during the process. You may not even realize you’ve been hypnotized — you’ll simply feel more in control and empowered to make lasting changes.

Does Hypnosis Work for You?

One of the most common questions I get is whether hypnosis will work for you. The answer is yes — as long as you’re open to it.

It’s important to understand that hypnosis isn’t about being “made to do something.” It’s about allowing yourself to tap into your inner resources, break free of old habits, and achieve the results you desire. The key to success is your willingness to engage with the process.

The Power of Self-Hypnosis

You might be surprised to learn that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. This means that you’re always in control. I’m simply here to guide you into a state of relaxation and focus where you can access your subconscious mind, and together, we’ll work toward your goals.

In fact, many people don’t even realize they’re in hypnosis — because it’s often very similar to the relaxed, focused state you experience when you’re lost in thought, driving, or daydreaming. The difference is that with hypnosis, you’re intentionally using this state to create positive change.

Why Choose Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a safe, non-invasive, and natural method of helping you overcome challenges and create lasting change. Whether you want to quit smoking, reduce stress, change your habits, or improve your life in any way, hypnosis can be a transformative tool for you.

The process is gentle, respectful, and empowering, and it’s available to anyone who is willing to embrace it.
