Somatic hypnotherapy blends hypnotic relaxation with body‑based awareness. It helps you access deeper patterns in your subconscious while staying connected to physical sensations, so change can feel real and embodied.

The Adora Method was created by combining multiple powerful modalities such as Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing, Inner Child Healing, Shadow Work, and Energy healing in COMBINATION with hypnosis. Most hypnotherapists have you lie back and read a script to you to get rid of your “symptoms”. My work goes deeper meaning we want to get to “why” underneath.

No. You're awake and in control the entire time. You will still be conscious, but your conscious mind is extremely relaxed. Think of it like a deep meditation where you're fully aware of what's happening but deeply relaxed and focused inward. You can end the session at any time, and you cannot be made to do anything against your will. This isn't stage hypnosis. You won't cluck like a chicken or forget what happened. You're actively engaged in the process, talking and working with me the whole time.

Everyone can be hypnotized to some degree. Hypnosis is the natural theta brainwave state we enter in and out of throughout the day. If you have ever been absorbed in a book, lost track of time while driving, or zoned out during a conversation, you've already been in a hypnotic state. The key is your willingness to engage in the process. If you're open and willing, we can work together. The depth of trance doesn't matter as much as your participation. Some people go very deep, others stay more lightly relaxed, and both experience powerful shifts.

That's exactly why many of my clients come to me. Talk therapy works with your conscious mind, helping you understand your patterns. But if negative behaviors or habits are deeply rooted in your subconscious mind, will power alone will not be strong enough to change them Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious directly, where beliefs were formed before you had words for them. Most of our limiting beliefs were created before we were eight years old, or during heightened emotional states when our rational mind was offline.

It depends on what you're working on. Some people see positive changes after a few sessions, while others might require more . For a single specific issue, one session can create a noticeable shift. For deeper patterns like relationship dynamics, self-sabotage, or chronic anxiety, the 3-session package allows us to uncover the root and begin rewiring. The 6-session package is for comprehensive healing across multiple areas of your life. During our free consultation, we'll discuss what makes sense for your specific goals

Yes. Hypnotherapy is perfectly safe when conducted by a trained professional. Unlike drug or psychedelic therapies, hypnosis has no side effects . You're always in control and fully aware. The work we do is collaborative and trauma-informed, meaning we move at your pace and honor what feels safe for your nervous system. If at any point something doesn't feel right, you can stop or redirect the session.

Sessions are done via Zoom. The first half is conversation so I can fully understand what's keeping you stuck and how it's showing up in your life. Then we move into the hypnotic work, where you'll be deeply relaxed but awake and talking. I guide you to access the subconscious beliefs and stored emotions driving your patterns, and we work together to release and rewrite them. You will be in a very peaceful, tranquil state. It's collaborative, intuitive, and tailored to exactly what you need. All you need is a a quiet space to relax, wired headphones and a good internet connection.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom. This allows you to be in a comfortable, safe space of your choosing (your home, a quiet room, etc.) and makes the work accessible no matter where you're located.

Emotions are welcome and expected. Crying, anger, grief, relief. all of it is part of the healing process. We work with your nervous system's capacity, which means we never force anything. If something feels too intense, we can slow down, ground, or shift focus. You're always in control of how deep we go.

Not everyone is visual. Some people see vivid images, others feel sensations, hear inner dialogue, or simply "know" things. All of these are valid ways your subconscious communicates. There's no wrong way to experience hypnosis." Trust whatever comes up for you.
