I'm Rosa.
I live in this little tiny town, sunapee, new Hampshire, and I

It's called body, mind, soulhealing and I help empower women
mostly, but I do also work withmen.
(03:11):
Actually, it's been a lot ofmen recently floating into my

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Me too, I think there's like a thing going on,
like I feel like the men, thecollective there is like coming
together, like you're gettingthe healing.
It's so cool to witness that?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, it really is, and it's just because men need
it too.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I know, yeah, we all do.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, but I work with clients with hypnosis, breath
work, hypnosis, breath work andempowerment coaching, and I
found hypnosis which was likethe me dipping my toes into the
world.
Just a couple of years ago Ihad a heart surgery and ended up
(03:57):
being very sick afterwards fora few months before they figured
out what was wrong with me andI had to have a total redo
operation of the one that theyhad done and I was in the
hospital for about three months,total two months no leaving the
hospital.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh my God, yeah it was really, really tough.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
By the time I left I felt broken, literally broken.
If you asked me how I was doing, I would have just said I kind
of question is that I'm not goodand I was just a really really
dark, sad place and I didn'tfeel safe in my body.
I didn't feel safe in my mind,I just didn't feel safe.
(04:39):
And so my sister, Marisa, cameby and I know she's such a light
in this world yeah and I waslike, listen, I need help.
I don't know where to begin.
And so we stayed up, I think,like all night long, looking at
people, and finally I found ahypnotherapist.
I had no idea what it was, butafter my first session I was
(05:00):
hooked.
I was like, yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
This is the game you just like knew.
You just knew.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Like it was, like it spoke to my soul, it spoke to my
mind, it spoke to my body.
It was just.
All of me was like we're in it,let's go.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, I'm so glad you did yeah, cause it's just it's
so needed Right.
And you're, and this wasn'tjust your first heart surgery.
Do you mind if we go into thata little bit, cause I remember
you were an infant and you hadheart surgery.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So can you tell us a little bit about?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
that journey.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so I've lived with congenital heart disease my
entire life.
I am a proud one in 100,.
One in 100 babies are born withcongenital heart disease and
oftentimes goes undiagnosed forseveral years, even in their
lives.
Mine was diagnosed at fiveweeks old and I had my first
surgery at five weeks old andthen I had.
(05:59):
I'm not going to go into allthe medical details, but I had
six different things wrong withmy heart when I was born, and so
I've had a series of surgeriesto help repair or to like
correct things that were wrongin there.
I've had a, or I have aorticstenosis, which is like large
part of the heart, and I had aseries of things.
(06:22):
I had a bicuspid valve, so itkind of looked like a peace sign
.
Your heart valve is supposed tolook like a peace sign.
Mine just had a line goingacross the side.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Oh, okay, I didn't know that, wow.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, so the valve in your aorta should look like
that, with three flaps, and mineonly had two, oh my gosh.
And so that was the surgery.
I know I'm jumping around alittle.
That was.
The surgery that I had back in2021 was to have that bicuspid
valve replaced.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Right after COVID too .
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right, exactly, that was like.
Yeah, you have to like be socareful, yeah, yeah.
But I had three surgeries allbefore I was two years old five
weeks, two months and two yearsand then I had one at 16, my
senior year in high school.
I remember that, yeah, yes, youcame to visit me, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, my boyfriend at the time passed out on your bed
.
True story, true fucking story.
Yeah, we're like go in, youjust have this open heart
surgery like this huge thing,right.
And then he walks in, he makesit all about him and he passes
out on your bed.
You're just like you have suchgreat spirit on the bed, though.
Yeah, oh, I know they could havebeen way worse, I suppose, but
(07:34):
like it's just like, okay, allright yeah yeah, yeah, those
girls aren't the best to bearound sometimes, for no, and
I've been in and out of themyeah, oh, my god, yeah, okay.
So you've had three, four, fivesix.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Six because I had to have a total redo operation
after I got very sick with aninternal infection.
Um, in 2021 on your heart, ohmy god, yep, in 2021.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Sick surgeries on your heart, oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yep, and there were complications in between and I
had a lung collapse.
Oh, you did tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, oh honey, I just I'm so glad you're still
here.
I just love you so much and Iknow a lot of people love you.
We both come from this huge,massive family.
We grew up together.
Like I said, we're cousins, umfirst cousins, and your mom and
my dad are siblings and theyboth had 10 kids.
Wait 10 or 9.
(08:32):
9 for you, 10 for us.
Yeah, so it was a show growingup.
Yeah, there's a little um.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, yeah yeah, I always joke.
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I know I always joke like, yeah, my family and my
siblings are for sale if anybodywants plenty to go around.
But no, I'm just kidding.
Um, yeah, so talk to us aboutgrowing up.
So you and I both grew upCatholic.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Both went to church Um same church.
Well, I would join you at yourchurch pretty often because we
have a lot of sleepovers andstuff we did.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I loved coming to your house because you guys have
the pool in the backyard.
I love going to your housebecause you aren't at my, we had
so much fun, yeah, uh, but yeah, no, we had some tough times
too.
I mean just absolutely yeah.
I mean it's um, not only withyour surgeries, but like growing
(09:35):
up in a chaotic family, and youknow just that life yeah, it's
a lot, and especially withfamily dynamics and I'm a middle
child, I know you're one of theoldest.
Yeah, oldest and wisest yeah, Ilove the middle child, my
(09:57):
charlene, my sister.
She's middle child and she's a.
She's something else love eachother yeah you are, we all.
We're all special, great in ourown way.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah um, but you know , navigating that as a kid was
really kind of tough and thatwas one of the things that, like
I really latched on to was likethis strong self, like don't be
emotional, just like you canhandle it, like it's no big deal
, just do it right and then um,with my work through hypnosis
(10:36):
and breath work and everythingthat my healing journey has
really uncovered, like, oh no, Ihave a lot of emotion that went
unspoken for a long time that Ireally went through the phase
of I'm a recovering peoplepleaser.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I love, yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
A lot of people listening, yeah, yeah and my
favorite word is no, no, thankyou, no, no, not just no.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is a good word.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
When you learn it and you own it.
It's so empowering and it's nota no like no, fuck you.
Sorry, can we swear?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Can I say that's my favorite word Fuck.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Because really that's my favorite.
Fuck, no is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, that's a double whammy there like that.
Yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, that's a double whammy there, like that, yeah,
yeah, just fuck.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
No, and I don't mean it callously, it's like that
doesn't align with me, itdoesn't vibe with me, or you
know just no, there's so muchpower behind that word because
it's I feel like it's soprotective of you and you know,
when you say no to what doesn'tfeel right to you, it opens up
(11:51):
bigger yeses for yourself andfor others to have permission to
like be themselves in their ownway, if that makes sense, where
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It does.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, if you're constantly people pleasing, like
that's a trauma response, right, this fear of being abandoned
or not good enough?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, and always wanting, and then what leads
with people pleasers is oftenthe perfectionism or the
procrastination to doing stuffbecause you're afraid of doing
it wrong or not executing itfully, and that kind of just
snowballs.
And I experienced a lot of thatand just you know one small
(12:34):
mistake and it would just derailme.
You know one small thing thatprobably the other person didn't
even think about or, like youknow, wasn't a big big deal to
them.
I would internalize it and makeit such a big deal.
I would feel so bad and notjust, not not just in my mind,
my body, like I would physicallyget ill.
(12:55):
I would get stomach cramps andpains and like I would feel
shaky and the body holds on toit.
It's a whole symptomatic traumaresponse to just something that
doesn't.
It's insignificant.
The other person probablyforgot about.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Oh yeah, totally, totally so.
So you shared a little bit whenyou were out here in Colorado a
month ago, just like yourjourney, career wise, and how,
like that, people pleasing andperfectionism kind of carried
over into your career life.
So talk to us a little bitabout that, because that,
ultimately, is what led you tobecome a hypnotherapist.
(13:33):
It was like that total burnout,right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Exactly At the time of my surgeries in 2021, I was
working at the post office and Iwas working a lot of hours.
I was traveling for work, I wasdoing a lot of stuff and I the
last thing on my to-do list wastaking care of me and checking
in with how I was thriving orlack thereof in my life at the
time, and the surgeries and thetime in the hospital and even my
(14:00):
recovery was really obviously atime for healing for me, but
also a chance to look at my lifeand go.
This is not working.
This is not sustainablelong-term.
And not just my career, but theactions, my thoughts, my habits
, my ways of, my ways ofspeaking and talking about
myself and to the world, andwell you were working.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
What like 18 hour days?
Basically Like you like 18 hourdays, basically like you never
slept, yeah, like you neverslept.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You're on your feet and driving how many hours a day
depending where I was going,anywhere from like one to two
hours, like one way, so whenyou're two to four hours a day
oh gosh, yeah, yeah, and it was.
It was a lot, but so when Istarted working with my
hypnotherapist, I we startedworking on the medical trauma
(14:52):
and quickly had that under wrapsand as we started looking at
like my life as a whole, um,realizing how all of my thoughts
, actions, habits, patterns andtendencies were all affecting my
physical, mental and spiritualhealth, and we started diving
into all of that and reallyworking on, you know, uncovering
(15:16):
the people, pleasing thechildhood traumas and responses
and how it had manifested intomy adult life.
I struggled so much of my lifewith body image issues and just
never feeling thin enough, neverfeeling like I fit in or like I
was the right size or you know,just, you know I have the
(15:38):
biggest forehead, you know justall those things.
And now, with all the work thatI've done, I don't care, I am
me and that just.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I like her too.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You know and I'm saying this to share with
anybody else that's goingthrough that or has experienced
that that there is another sideto it and that's really what led
me into hypnosis.
When I started really feelingempowered and grounded in my own
life and healing journey, Irealized other people need to
know about hypnosis and breathwork and you know all these
(16:17):
amazing tools that I offer to myclients now, because there's no
side effects.
There's no there's no take thisand you're gonna feel that or
this is gonna happen.
There's none of that to it andyou get.
You get to feel a shift withinyour first session and that's so
empowering to just feel better.
(16:38):
You after one session, and themore you do, the deeper you go,
as you know, with your work.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
The more you do it, the more yeah, the deeper you go
, the places you will go.
Yeah, and I really wanted tohave you on the show too, not
only because I freaking love you, but um, um.
But there's a lot ofcontraindications with spinal
energetics, and one of them isany history of heart problems,
right, and so, um,hypnotherapists is an awesome
(17:11):
replacement for that.
Um, yeah, so, so why don't youtalk us through a little bit
more about, like, what ishypnotherapy?
What does a session actuallylook like with you?
Kind of walk us through whatthat experience would be like.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Absolutely so.
You know, I started my practicebecause I wanted to help
empower other people to takecontrol of their lives and their
health and wellness and achievetheir goals, whatever that
means to them, because all of usare different, right, I work
with a lot of clients thatstruggle with those similar
things that we've already talkedabout, but also with, like,
high anxiety, or for clientsthat have sleep issues or sleep
(17:51):
insomnia, and so every sessionis a little different, but there
is a basic structure to itwhich I can talk to you about.
First off, I always like to sayhypnosis is not like what you
see in the movies.
I'm not some person in a darkroom.
You have a little thing overyour eyes that's what I tell you
(18:11):
about.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
My first semester in college I went to the University
of Tampa, my first and onlysemester there.
I left pretty quick.
It was not for me, but, um, ourlike intro, uh, introduction,
where everybody came together inthe same room.
They had like a little like gettogether in the on stage and
performance and they had ahypnotherapist come in and they
(18:33):
would go around, they like picklike random people out of the
crowd, have them sit down andthen they would make them fall
asleep right there.
Yep, I was like what the hellis this?
I never believed it, but what'syour take on that?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, so that's a different type of hypnosis than
what I do.
So there's different kinds ofhypnosis and that is called
stage hypnosis, where theaudience is ready and willing
and the stage hypnotist is ableto go around the room and see
those that are going to be openand ready to as you described it
, like go to sleep in theaudience, because they can tell
(19:05):
who's like, open and ready.
How can they tell?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm so curious, do you know?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, because I utilize the same thing with my
clients in session is like therehas to be a rapport built up,
you have to want it and there'sphysical cues.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I guess, like you know, if I'm making eye contact
with you and I'm like, really init, we have that rapport,
you're gonna go in okay that um,because we have that energy
exchange right right versussomebody in the crowd that's
like this, like me, like this is, or playing on their phone.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
then Lay down Jackson .
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sorry, my dog is Jackson.
Lay down.
Hold, please, Lay down we havethe dogs on the show today.
You know all the blondes overhere.
Well, you're kind of blonderight now.
A little blonde, a littlelightness, yeah.
So tell us how your hypnosis isdifferent.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, so again that stage hypnosis and for the time
being the stage hypnotist isgoing to I'm not sure the whole
experience that you had, butthey will often run you through
like fake scenarios and at thattime, while you're in hypnosis,
you believe that you are thatperson.
Like maybe they tell you likeyou're a cop, or you know you
are a ballerina and normally inyour life you've never done
(20:29):
ballet, um, but they for thattemporary time while you're on
stage you're going to believethat story, that that's who you
are, um do they use that forlike manifestation?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I was just thinking I'm like, could somebody
hypnotize me and say I'm amillionaire, like?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
well, kind of, yeah, in a way that's a whole
different thing.
But yeah, oh, okay, but butyeah.
So for the stage hypnosis,though it's for fun and you're
there for enjoyment and it'sentertainment it's entertainment
, right, it's light fun.
I've participated in stagehypnosis before you have.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
like, oh, it's hilarious, I made it for myself.
I won the first conference thatI went to.
It was in Massachusetts and itwas all these hypnotists from
all around, and Tommy V, who's afantastic stage hypnotist, was
there and he, um, my friends andI that were all that all got
(21:28):
certified together, uh, all wentup on stage um to be hypnotized
during the show and, um, hehypnotized me to say that my
role was that anytime there werepeople clapping in the crowd, I
was to point at them and tellthem that they were being
illegal, and they just madeeverybody clap more and I was
(21:48):
just yelling the whole night.
It was hilarious, oh my.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
God.
So are you like conscious thewhole time?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, yeah, so you're aware the whole time in
hypnosis, whether you were doingstage conversational or you
know the traditional type ofhypnosis, you're always 100% of
the time in control.
You're always aware of what'shappening and if, at any time,
you want this session to be overyou, you have the power to make
(22:15):
that happen.
It's not mind control Like yousee in the movies.
I do not have power over you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's a choice that you are making.
I'm just kidding.
It's probably a good thing.
I feel like a lot of people areafraid to try it because of
that, they think like they can'tcontrol it but it's the same
thing with spinal energetics.
Like you're conscious the wholetime, you have control the
whole time.
It's more of a subconsciousbrainwave.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're bypassing your conscious factor.
The one that helps you tie yourshoes in the morning and makes
decisions all day long knows thedifference between hot and cold
.
We're bypassing that to getinto your subconscious where, if
I asked you, do you put yourright shoe on before your left,
or your left before your right?
That's something that'ssubconscious that you've been
doing since you were a kid.
Most of us don't think aboutthat.
(23:00):
I don't know Right Exactly.
So now, if you want to go putyour shoes on after I've asked
you that, you might stumble alittle because your subconscious
is going what we always just do, what we do, yeah, so that's
why people come to me is theyhave a habit or a pattern that's
stuck in their subconsciousthat they want to get rid of,
(23:21):
they want to overcome or torelease or let go of, right?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So anxiety, what are some common?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh, that's a big one Overthinking people pleasing,
not being able to set boundariesfor themselves, and stick to
them, stick to them.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You know, public speaking, even people come to me
for like insomnia for quittingsmoking or weight loss.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Wow, yeah, and one of the my biggest things, which I
rant about all the time.
When I see those like shots forweight loss commercials, it
just gets right under my skinbecause you know it's so scary.
You don't know what's in thoseshots.
Maybe you do, maybe you don't,but they come with side effects,
that's for sure.
And they don't get to the rootcause of the emotional eating or
the boredom snacking, or whyyou have been doing all the
(24:20):
right things but yet the weightwon't release.
It doesn't help with the rootcause, and that's the beauty of
hypnosis is that we don't need ashot to get into the root cause
, to find out what is going on.
Is this a trauma response?
Is it a habit, something you'rejust not even aware of?
And there are so much that wedo in a day.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Everything in our lives is based on the
subconscious it's like 95 95 ofhow we operate, maybe even more
than that, like it's justexactly, yeah, exactly and
there's some faulty wiring.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I often like say like our brains are like computers
and there's bad code.
There's bad code or there'soutdated code.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That's a good analogy .
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I like that yeah yeah , and it's time to get rid of it
.
It's time to rewrite the codeor get rid of it yeah, and make
see you later make room for ummoving forward.
So um, it's also not a truthserum.
So if you come to me and you'reworking on one thing, it's not
gonna make you tell me yourdeepest darkest secret.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, okay, I mean that's.
I'm laughing because, like I'msuch an honest person, maybe too
honest sometimes, but yeah,girl, I hear you.
I have, yeah, I have an openbook.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Uh, yeah, yeah, okay, so so you're oftentimes a worry
that people come for yeah thatmakes sense about what hypnosis
is and they're scared.
it's mind control and thatthey're going to tell me all the
things I can't believe thatthey tell me all their stuff
anyway, but that's because theyfeel comfortable and ready to
address that.
And the other thing that Ialways like to mention is when
(25:56):
we go into hypnosis and we'reworking on something that's
trauma related or, you know,really is something severe or
deep, we don't just go there inthe first session.
We're going to build up rapport, we're going to make sure that
you're ready, willing andprepared for it.
We're not just going to dive inand all of a sudden you're
(26:17):
revisiting this horrific thingthat happened in your life.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, re-traumatized yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Exactly, we do that when we're ready ready.
So and that's another fear thata lot of times people have is
they say like this is theultimate thing.
I know where it comes from, butI don't want to just like see
that again we can do workwithout having to see that again
yeah, yes.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So as you're, when they're under hypnosis laying
there um, they probably have ablindfold on right.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Um, sometimes I actually don't have people put a
blindfold on, because I cantell a lot of what's happening
by eye fluttering and yeah,that's a good point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah and you canactually.
You know, and that's actually areally good thing to bring up
too, is that you don't have tohave your eyes closed to be in
hypnosis.
You can have your eyes open oh,never thought of that yeah, you
(27:09):
can speak while you're inhypnosis.
You can cough, you can get up,you can walk around, you can
dance.
You can do whatever you wantwhile you're in hypnosis that
you normally would do duringyour normal wakening hours.
Wow, because it's not likefalling asleep, so any bodily
functions that you need you'vegot a cough or sneeze, or it's
not like falling asleep, so anybodily functions that you need,
you've got a cough or sneeze, orit's your arm.
You can do all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You can do it all.
Wow, that's cool.
I thought you always have tolay there and wear the blindfold
and just sink in.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It depends on the person because and that's the
beauty of hypnosis is it's verycustomizable.
So if I have a high anxietyclient, yes, we're going to
really just bring the wholeenergy in the space down so that
you can feel yourself relaxing.
So we are going to go throughthat I close and deep body
(28:01):
relaxation so that we can getinto your mind.
So if the body feels safe, thenthe mind feels safe and the
soul feels safe to come home.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That makes sense.
Yeah, like old me who was super, super anxious panic attacks,
you name it I would need to dothat.
Like I have a lot of clientsthat struggle to sink into their
session, so we have to spendmore time at the beginning just
getting relaxed, you know, goingthrough all those meditation or
whatever it is, whereas, likenow, like I can close my eyes
(28:30):
and I'm like, boom, I'm there.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, same For me.
I always say I'm a cheap date.
If it's meditation, if it'shypnosis, if it's breath work,
whatever it is, I'm like in it,like a breath, and I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, that get it, that's, good.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I remember what it was like when I started this
journey and it was easy, like Iwas so open and ready.
I wanted change so badly but,like you said, the past versions
of myself riddled with anxietyand fear.
I once cracked my steeringwheel in my car because I was
having such a deep panic attack.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
God late for something, and I just remember
gripping the steering wheel sohard I heard a crack holy shit
yeah, and that was you know.
I'll never forget thatexperience and, like going whoa,
that was like an overreactionto what was happening, but that
was the level I was living at.
I always I was living for a lotof time with a low level
(29:30):
anxiety like which would peakand peak but it never fully
would go away.
I used to sleep two to fourhours a night for the 33 years
of my life.
Wow, sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now the dog's playing with the boat.
Hold on, lily, come on, okay,yeah, all right, the, the, the,
the pups are riled up.
This afternoon that we we wentfor a walk and we came back
dad's at work, so we're justkind of adapting here, going
with the flow.
Thanks, your patience everybody.
(30:04):
Um, yeah, so, yeah, that's,that's crazy with the anxiety.
So maybe we can use that as anexample.
Like what have you found?
Like somebody who's underhypnosis?
Like what are you telling themto do?
Or are you telling yep?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
yep, okay, so, um, so most sessions that I work with
clients it's an hour and a half.
I always do a phoneconsultation first so I can
learn a little bit more aboutyou and your experience and what
you're going through, what yourgoals are, and you know, we get
to talk a little bit about whathypnosis is and what to expect
and all that, and then duringour first session, we'll talk a
(30:43):
little bit more about what'shappening and start to build
like a blueprint or a game planfor our work together.
And so we'll stick with anxiety.
That's a perfect example.
So many people live with it.
And so our first session we'regoing to talk a little bit.
Likely we're going to talk alittle bit about some things
that are going on in your liferight now that are causing
(31:04):
anxiety, not like a level 10anxiety, but we're going to talk
a little bit.
We're going to get thosefeelings pumping and we're going
to kind of start bringing upthe little low level anxiety so
that you can experience therelease right away.
So, and I'm going to bring youup to maybe a seven or eight,
depending on the client Someclients that I have come in and
they're already at a 10.
(31:25):
I've had clients that come inand they're like, listen, I
almost didn't make it in herebecause there's no, I mean.
So that's what we'll do.
We'll get talking a little bitfirst and a lot of times high
anxiety clients have a hardertime, just as you were
describing, going into thathypnotic state.
So we just take it easy and Istart with a little bit of
(31:47):
conversational hypnosis again,where we're going to talk a
little bit about what theyexperience, what they want to
experience in these situationsin their life, because they do
know, like I don't want to reactlike this or I want to have a
calm mind or feel clear or nothave my cheeks or have my ears
burn, or yeah you know, feel myheart upset stomach like I used
(32:09):
to get really nauseous likedigestive problems, ibs, that
kind of stuff.
Anxiety same here horrible,horrible ideas and so we'll
start talking a little bit aboutthat and start talking about,
like you know, what sort ofthings do bring them joy in
their life and or where ittracks right so we may touch on,
(32:48):
and some people are aware ofthe root cause of their anxiety
or whatever their goal is, um,and some people are not, because
it's been so ingrained in themfor they'll just come in and go
forever I've always been likethis and so we'll get you into
the conversational part ofhypnosis and then we'll likely
(33:08):
what I do with most high anxietyclients is I'm going to help
you physically relax your body,because oftentimes we hold that
tension and stress in our bodyoften in our necks or stomachs,
like you and I.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Without even knowing it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Shoulders.
And we don't realize it tillsomebody says release the
tension in your shoulders, andthen all of a sudden you see
them slink in their chair umyeah, I have to do that
sometimes while I'm working oreven like doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm like, wait, I relax my shoulders really quick.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah yeah, I have a thing about like jutting my neck
out um, and I'm always likejust tuck your chin, you don't
want a turkey neck later umwe're making funny faces now
with their heads, yeah so I willwalk them through a progressive
(34:01):
relaxation which is designed tohelp the body release tension
and which opens up thesubconscious mind feeling a
little bit more free.
And then we're going to starthauling out the clutter in your
mind and, depending on theclient, I'll use different
visualizations or, like we'retalking about the computer code,
I'll use more analytical termsfor clients that are less visual
(34:25):
and more auditory or analytical.
So that's the beauty of my work.
I know one of the things a lotof people say like is it the
same every time?
Like if I came to you, and itlike no, no, it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Every layer is different.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I personally don't use scripts.
I have, like, ideas and like.
I have a plan and a method ofhow I get you to what you want.
I have a protocol, but everyperson is different.
Everybody's experience isdifferent.
So, like you said, there'sdifferent layers and there's
different deepening, soeverybody is going to be
different.
And yeah, um, so I go.
(35:06):
I am an intuitive hypnotist, soI go with what I'm reading and
picking up on with my clients,I'm able to create visuals or
non-visuals for those that needthat, based on the person.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That's so good yeah To be able to adapt along the
session with the client yeah,Versus like.
Oh, you're experiencing traumaright now.
Okay, we're gonna go talk aboutum something fun, or you know
like you gotta adapt exactlyexactly.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And sometimes they come in and they say you know I
want to quit smoking, but reallyokay.
Well, when did you startsmoking?
Why do you smoke?
When do you smoke?
So it's really anxiety thatyou're experiencing in your life
and you're using smoking as away to help calm your nerves or
to give you a moment of clarityor find a piece of joy in your
(35:58):
really busy day.
That cigarette, really, thatinstant gratification goes away
when the cigarette does, and theanxiety comes back right, but
that's what they've been usingas a tool to help them, and so
oftentimes that's what I findwith clients.
They may come for one thing,and once we start peeling back
the layers, we realize thedeeper it goes deep, yeah, yeah,
(36:21):
that's just the surface symptom, right, yeah, um so yeah, once
we get to the releasing andletting go of all the clutter in
the mind, all the overthinking,the negative habits and
patterns and all of that.
We get to the part where this iswhere the fun comes in.
You get to paint the picture.
This is where thatmanifestation that you were
talking about earlier comes inyes, my favorite part.
(36:45):
Yeah, I no, I love it when youget to live the life.
Have so much on my to-do listto do that I would just do none
(37:12):
of it, or I would wait andhalf-ass it, or I'd wait until
the last minute and then stressball, run around and get it all
done, which was horrible.
And um, when I stopped thatpattern, oh boy did my life
change.
But I just started doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's a small thing throughout the day.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I mean it makes such a huge mindset change.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, oh, it's like a ripple effect to like all the
areas in your life.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Exactly, exactly.
So one of the things thatpeople often ask me about is you
know, like do I just come forone session?
How many is it?
And I work with people on aminimum of three sessions
Because we are going to build uprapport, especially for anxiety
clients.
It's going to take us a minute,depending on your level of
anxiety and where your life,because we're going to attack it
(38:01):
from all angles and get you, sothat you are living an
empowered, confident life whereyour mind is free of clutter and
debris.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So one session is usually about an hour and a half
, depending on the client, andwe really get in there to
declutter and we are able tostart manifesting that life.
And it's not just aboutvisualizing what it is you want.
We start building the stepstowards it.
What ways of thinking do youneed to now adopt?
We're going to implant thoseinto your subconscious.
(38:33):
What, um, what action steps doyou need to take?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
like we're talking about all the repatterning yeah,
all the repatterning.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
So, like I said, I see you as a whole.
We're going to work with you asa whole.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, I love that.
Like you said, it's reallyabout clearing first, taking out
what's not wanted anymore andmaking room for whatever it is
that you want to programsubconsciously.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Because once we get into the subconscious and we
make pattern interrupts.
So when we're in the process,like I said, we're going to
bring up some of those low levelanxieties and there's some
reprogramming that we do and asyou go through that experience
of feeling that anxiety, we arepattern interrupting and when we
do that we create newneuroplasticity, we create new
(39:24):
pathways for your brain toexpand and grow, and that's the
science behind it.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
So that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
There's so much about hypnosis, but it really, truly,
is science backed that it itdoes make effect.
It's why one of the things Ialways tell my clients is
anything that's implanted inyour subconscious must come true
.
It's scientifically backed andthat's the fact.
Like, when we're born, we arenot born with a conscious mind.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Where we have a, we have a subconscious factor which
is like yeah, isn't it not tilllike we're seven years old that
we really become conscious?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
somewhere between seven and 12.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
That's where you start making decisions for
yourself.
Oh, do I like this color orthat color?
Or you know I like this type ofshoe.
Or you know I enjoy math, or Ilike science, or I don't like
either of those.
Or you know I like beingoutside.
That's when you really startmaking decisions about your
identity and who you are as aperson, and up and until that
point, you are subject to yourenvironment.
(40:28):
So your parents, yourgrandparents, your teachers,
your 10 siblings you are subjectof your environment.
So, whatever you see, hear,witness, taste, touch and do all
becomes your truth, until youstart recognizing what it is
(40:49):
that you want and don't want,and because all of that becomes
your truth and gets implanted asnarratives in your subconscious
.
It's why we have childhoodtrauma and work that we have to
redo, because there's storiesand narratives that were told to
us as children have you foundthat a lot of clients get go
back to like before the age ofseven, or is it usually after
(41:13):
the age of seven?
just curious you know that's agreat question and honestly it
depends on the client and whatit is.
But overall, if I'm doing aregressive, it's before the age
of seven most I.
It would surprise you how manyinfants or even um in the womb.
I've been to the womb yeah, yep, I've been to the womb.
(41:36):
I've been beyond the room pastlife, yeah, well, yes, but also
not past life.
In this life, I my essence,before being in the womb.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I've been the interlife.
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, this isthe shit.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
I love yeah okay, healing, and I do past life
regressions as well um, which isdifferent from what we've
talked about so far.
I know we probably are runningshort on time, but we're good,
we're good but yeah, I do alsooffer past life regressions and
maybe we can have anotherepisode just on past life stuff,
(42:14):
cause it's so fascinating to me, so fascinating, um, but that's
usually a couple hours long forthat session, depending on the
client and how many lives we goback to.
Um, usually two or three,depending on the client and how
many lives we go back to um,usually two or three, depending
on the client and what we'researching for yeah, I did
(42:34):
another episode, gosh.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
it's been a while, but we talked about past life,
like regression and like justtalking about past lives in
general.
So I can't remember whichepisode it is, but just scroll
down, guys and you'll find it.
Um, but yeah, it's sointeresting, like, whether you
believe it or not, it it has, uh, it helps so so much when you
(42:56):
can kind of tap into whateverstory is there, because a lot of
times whatever comes up thatstory is similar to what's going
on in your life now and that'swhere you can kind of learn the
lessons.
So it's kind of like having abird's eye view or just having a
different look at life, so thatchanges can happen on a
(43:19):
subconscious level.
It's really quite fascinatingyeah.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
It is, and it's a way to just like we were talking
about, not having to experiencethat which you are dealing with
in this life, but be able to,like you said, have that third,
that bird's eye view ofsomething else.
Yeah, parallels what you'reexperiencing now and it's very
transformative.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I know clients that have had remarkable
breakthroughs, had remarkablebreakthroughs um and after one
session with past life, theynever bite their nails again or
they never pick up anothercigarette again, and you know
that's amazing based on a pastlife that they're witnessing
(44:01):
yeah, and I know they've done alot of studies too with this too
, with like kids and kidssharing like who they were in a
past life, and then they look upthis person and they're like
every detail is accurate.
It blows my mind, it reallydoes, and that's actually a good
question too.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
A lot of people ask can kids be hypnotized?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Oh, yeah, Kids are great.
Really Kids are great oh cool?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, because they are in their subconscious
already yeah, and they are moreopen to change and suggestion
than adults who have beenthrough a life of what putting
conditioning yeah, yeah yeah, oh, that's cool man.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
You all said mike your way, he acts like it.
No, I'm just kidding my husband, I'm kidding guys, I'm kidding.
I was going to say I've alsonoticed, too, like we were
joking earlier about us having10 siblings.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
But I've also had 10 siblings in other lives too, too
, or I was the mother or fatherof 10 and I was like it's so
interesting how, like, you'rekind of reborn into that same
lifestyle in a sense, and itwill happen until lessons are
learned from that yeah, yeah,and I've been in the same,
similar and past lives whereI've been a caretaker for
children that are not mine,which is, as you know, being in
(45:30):
a family as many as nine or 10,you often, as the older sibling,
are put in that role, and I'vebeen in past lives where that's
been the case, like I've takencare of, like, children that are
not mine.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I've been in a role where I was responsible for,
like you know, I was overseeing,or you know, in that role of
leadership.
It's just very interesting howit plays in this life too.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah, yeah, I've even had it with like, like people
I've let go in my life and thenI'd like see them in another
life and how mean they were tome then too.
Like this is the life, Ifinally get the chance to let
those people go um and stand bythat.
But, man, I wish I could talkall day with you.
Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Cycle breakers, I feel like we could do this for
like days on end.
Yes, we've just barely touchedthe stuff.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Yeah, we did, yeah, yeah, well, tell everyone where
they can find you.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Okay, so please follow me.
I am on Instagram as theunderscore empowerment hypnotist
, because empowerment is my game, baby, and same thing on
Facebook it's Rosa Whipple andmy website is hypnosis body,
(47:00):
mind, soul.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, definitely send those to me so we can.
Yeah, I know they're all long Iwas picking out all of this
whatever it's the name thatcounts, you know the energy
behind it, that is and can Itell everybody, like when I'm
doing a free offering, oh heck,yeah tell them.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yes, yes please so I am offering on March 24th, at 6
30 pm eastern standard time, Iam doing a hypnosis intro.
It's like a Hypno 101.
I'm going to talk more abouthypnosis, what it is, what it
isn't, and I'm going to talkabout more areas in your life
that hypnosis can help benefitand a little bit more about my
(47:39):
story, and then I'm going toguide everybody through a
stress-relieving relaxationhypnosis session at the end.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
So, guys, you better jump on that free 99 bitches.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Get on it while you can join, learn, ask your
questions like it's uh, it's allconversational um.
So if people have questions orwant to have more in-depth
conversation about it, that'swhat it's all about.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
And they can meet.
This is going to be on zoom.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
It's going to be over zoom, so, uh, to sign up, you
can go to my Facebook page.
There's an event on my Facebookpage.
You just click that and putyour email in the link, um, or
you can go to my website.
It's on my website as well,sweet, and it's on Instagram and
my bio.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Well, we'll put it below too.
We'll put it below too, so youguys can easily find it and just
sign up for Rosa's freehypnosis.
It's going to be fun.
Yeah, and then you're inSunapee, new Hampshire, but you
also do online sessions.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yes as well.
Thank you for bringing that up.
I work with clients over Zoomall the time, and one thing that
a lot of people ask about is doI get the same benefits?
Is it the same over zoom as itis in person?
The answer is yes, because it'sall about rapport between me
and the client, rapport betweenus and your subconscious.
So that's again where I alwayshave that phone call first and
(49:06):
then the opportunity to chat andthe energy.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Sometimes I feel like it's better, especially as a
new client, to start in yourhome, because you're in the
comfort of your own home too,yeah, I just found that it's a
good thing, but it's also can belike a hindrance.
Oh yeah, if you have like ninekids running around, yeah, that
too.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
But for some people it's really good to get out of
their own space to make changebecause it forces them um.
But you gain the same benefitswhether you're over zoom or in
person, and whether you're ingroup or in person.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
We didn't even talk about that I might have to do a
hypnosis past life regressionwith you soon, because I I did
it once before and it was socool what came through.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
Um, yeah, so yeah, it's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I don't get to do it that often because in my area it
is not.
There's not as much of a highdemand for it, so yeah, well,
there's not many people thereeither.
Well, there's certainly not alot of people here.

Sunday coming over here, butyou never know.
You never know.
But I wanted to bring Rosa onthe show today because she has
(02:21):
such an inspiring story.
I've seen you and everythingthat you've been through with
your heart and just like whereyou are now with your business
as a hypnotherapist, and so Ijust want to get like all the
juicy crazy, whatever you wantto share with us today.
But yeah, so why don't you justtell everybody what do you do,
(02:48):
introduce yourself All?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
right.
So hi, everybody listening.
I'm Rosa.
I live in this little tiny town, sunapee, new Hampshire, and I
have a hypnotherapy andempowerment coaching practice.
It's called body, mind, soulhealing and I help empower women
mostly, but I do also work withmen.
(03:11):
Actually, it's been a lot ofmen recently floating into my
practice, so that's reallyamazing.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Me too, I think there's like a thing going on,
like I feel like the men, thecollective there is like coming
together, like you're gettingthe healing.
It's so cool to witness that?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, it really is, and it's just because men need
it too.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I know, yeah, we all do.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, but I work with clients with hypnosis, breath
work, hypnosis, breath work andempowerment coaching, and I
found hypnosis which was likethe me dipping my toes into the
world.
Just a couple of years ago Ihad a heart surgery and ended up
(03:57):
being very sick afterwards fora few months before they figured
out what was wrong with me andI had to have a total redo
operation of the one that theyhad done and I was in the
hospital for about three months,total two months no leaving the
hospital.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh my God, yeah it was really, really tough.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
By the time I left I felt broken, literally broken.
If you asked me how I was doing, I would have just said I kind
of question is that I'm not goodand I was just a really really
dark, sad place and I didn'tfeel safe in my body.
I didn't feel safe in my mind,I just didn't feel safe.
(04:39):
And so my sister, Marisa, cameby and I know she's such a light
in this world yeah and I waslike, listen, I need help.
I don't know where to begin.
And so we stayed up, I think,like all night long, looking at
people, and finally I found ahypnotherapist.
I had no idea what it was, butafter my first session I was
(05:00):
hooked.
I was like, yeah, is it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
This is the game you just like knew.
You just knew.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Like it was, like it spoke to my soul, it spoke to my
mind, it spoke to my body.
It was just.
All of me was like we're in it,let's go.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, I'm so glad you did yeah, cause it's just it's
so needed Right.
And you're, and this wasn'tjust your first heart surgery.
Do you mind if we go into thata little bit, cause I remember
you were an infant and you hadheart surgery.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So can you tell us a little bit about?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
that journey.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so I've lived with congenital heart disease my
entire life.
I am a proud one in 100,.
One in 100 babies are born withcongenital heart disease and
oftentimes goes undiagnosed forseveral years, even in their
lives.
Mine was diagnosed at fiveweeks old and I had my first
surgery at five weeks old andthen I had.
(05:59):
I'm not going to go into allthe medical details, but I had
six different things wrong withmy heart when I was born, and so
I've had a series of surgeriesto help repair or to like
correct things that were wrongin there.
I've had a, or I have aorticstenosis, which is like large
part of the heart, and I had aseries of things.
(06:22):
I had a bicuspid valve, so itkind of looked like a peace sign
.
Your heart valve is supposed tolook like a peace sign.
Mine just had a line goingacross the side.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Oh, okay, I didn't know that, wow.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, so the valve in your aorta should look like
that, with three flaps, and mineonly had two, oh my gosh.
And so that was the surgery.
I know I'm jumping around alittle.
That was.
The surgery that I had back in2021 was to have that bicuspid
valve replaced.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Right after COVID too .
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Right, exactly, that was like.
Yeah, you have to like be socareful, yeah, yeah.
But I had three surgeries allbefore I was two years old five
weeks, two months and two yearsand then I had one at 16, my
senior year in high school.
I remember that, yeah, yes, youcame to visit me, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, my boyfriend at the time passed out on your bed
.
True story, true fucking story.
Yeah, we're like go in, youjust have this open heart
surgery like this huge thing,right.
And then he walks in, he makesit all about him and he passes
out on your bed.
You're just like you have suchgreat spirit on the bed, though.
Yeah, oh, I know they could havebeen way worse, I suppose, but
(07:34):
like it's just like, okay, allright yeah yeah, yeah, those
girls aren't the best to bearound sometimes, for no, and
I've been in and out of themyeah, oh, my god, yeah, okay.
So you've had three, four, fivesix.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Six because I had to have a total redo operation
after I got very sick with aninternal infection.
Um, in 2021 on your heart, ohmy god, yep, in 2021.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Sick surgeries on your heart, oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yep, and there were complications in between and I
had a lung collapse.
Oh, you did tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, oh honey, I just I'm so glad you're still
here.
I just love you so much and Iknow a lot of people love you.
We both come from this huge,massive family.
We grew up together.
Like I said, we're cousins, umfirst cousins, and your mom and
my dad are siblings and theyboth had 10 kids.
Wait 10 or 9.
(08:32):
9 for you, 10 for us.
Yeah, so it was a show growingup.
Yeah, there's a little um.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, yeah yeah, I always joke.
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I know I always joke like, yeah, my family and my
siblings are for sale if anybodywants plenty to go around.
But no, I'm just kidding.
Um, yeah, so talk to us aboutgrowing up.
So you and I both grew upCatholic.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Both went to church Um same church.
Well, I would join you at yourchurch pretty often because we
have a lot of sleepovers andstuff we did.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I loved coming to your house because you guys have
the pool in the backyard.
I love going to your housebecause you aren't at my, we had
so much fun, yeah, uh, but yeah, no, we had some tough times
too.
I mean just absolutely yeah.
I mean it's um, not only withyour surgeries, but like growing
(09:35):
up in a chaotic family, and youknow just that life yeah, it's
a lot, and especially withfamily dynamics and I'm a middle
child, I know you're one of theoldest.
Yeah, oldest and wisest yeah, Ilove the middle child, my
(09:57):
charlene, my sister.
She's middle child and she's a.
She's something else love eachother yeah you are, we all.
We're all special, great in ourown way.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah um, but you know , navigating that as a kid was
really kind of tough and thatwas one of the things that, like
I really latched on to was likethis strong self, like don't be
emotional, just like you canhandle it, like it's no big deal
, just do it right and then um,with my work through hypnosis
(10:36):
and breath work and everythingthat my healing journey has
really uncovered, like, oh no, Ihave a lot of emotion that went
unspoken for a long time that Ireally went through the phase
of I'm a recovering peoplepleaser.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I love, yeah, me too.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
A lot of people listening, yeah, yeah and my
favorite word is no, no, thankyou, no, no, not just no.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is a good word.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
When you learn it and you own it.
It's so empowering and it's nota no like no, fuck you.
Sorry, can we swear?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Can I say that's my favorite word Fuck.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Because really that's my favorite.
Fuck, no is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, that's a double whammy there like that.
Yeah, just.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, that's a double whammy there, like that, yeah,
yeah, just fuck.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
No, and I don't mean it callously, it's like that
doesn't align with me, itdoesn't vibe with me, or you
know just no, there's so muchpower behind that word because
it's I feel like it's soprotective of you and you know,
when you say no to what doesn'tfeel right to you, it opens up
(11:51):
bigger yeses for yourself andfor others to have permission to
like be themselves in their ownway, if that makes sense, where
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
It does.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, if you're constantly people pleasing, like
that's a trauma response, right, this fear of being abandoned
or not good enough?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, and always wanting, and then what leads
with people pleasers is oftenthe perfectionism or the
procrastination to doing stuffbecause you're afraid of doing
it wrong or not executing itfully, and that kind of just
snowballs.
And I experienced a lot of thatand just you know one small
(12:34):
mistake and it would just derailme.
You know one small thing thatprobably the other person didn't
even think about or, like youknow, wasn't a big big deal to
them.
I would internalize it and makeit such a big deal.
I would feel so bad and notjust, not not just in my mind,
my body, like I would physicallyget ill.
(12:55):
I would get stomach cramps andpains and like I would feel
shaky and the body holds on toit.
It's a whole symptomatic traumaresponse to just something that
doesn't.
It's insignificant.
The other person probablyforgot about.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Oh yeah, totally, totally so.
So you shared a little bit whenyou were out here in Colorado a
month ago, just like yourjourney, career wise, and how,
like that, people pleasing andperfectionism kind of carried
over into your career life.
So talk to us a little bitabout that, because that,
ultimately, is what led you tobecome a hypnotherapist.
(13:33):
It was like that total burnout,right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Exactly At the time of my surgeries in 2021, I was
working at the post office and Iwas working a lot of hours.
I was traveling for work, I wasdoing a lot of stuff and I the
last thing on my to-do list wastaking care of me and checking
in with how I was thriving orlack thereof in my life at the
time, and the surgeries and thetime in the hospital and even my
(14:00):
recovery was really obviously atime for healing for me, but
also a chance to look at my lifeand go.
This is not working.
This is not sustainablelong-term.
And not just my career, but theactions, my thoughts, my habits
, my ways of, my ways ofspeaking and talking about
myself and to the world, andwell you were working.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
What like 18 hour days?
Basically Like you like 18 hourdays, basically like you never
slept, yeah, like you neverslept.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You're on your feet and driving how many hours a day
depending where I was going,anywhere from like one to two
hours, like one way, so whenyou're two to four hours a day
oh gosh, yeah, yeah, and it was.
It was a lot, but so when Istarted working with my
hypnotherapist, I we startedworking on the medical trauma
(14:52):
and quickly had that under wrapsand as we started looking at
like my life as a whole, um,realizing how all of my thoughts
, actions, habits, patterns andtendencies were all affecting my
physical, mental and spiritualhealth, and we started diving
into all of that and reallyworking on, you know, uncovering
(15:16):
the people, pleasing thechildhood traumas and responses
and how it had manifested intomy adult life.
I struggled so much of my lifewith body image issues and just
never feeling thin enough, neverfeeling like I fit in or like I
was the right size or you know,just, you know I have the
(15:38):
biggest forehead, you know justall those things.
And now, with all the work thatI've done, I don't care, I am
me and that just.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I like her too.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You know and I'm saying this to share with
anybody else that's goingthrough that or has experienced
that that there is another sideto it and that's really what led
me into hypnosis.
When I started really feelingempowered and grounded in my own
life and healing journey, Irealized other people need to
know about hypnosis and breathwork and you know all these
(16:17):
amazing tools that I offer to myclients now, because there's no
side effects.
There's no there's no take thisand you're gonna feel that or
this is gonna happen.
There's none of that to it andyou get.
You get to feel a shift withinyour first session and that's so
empowering to just feel better.
(16:38):
You after one session, and themore you do, the deeper you go,
as you know, with your work.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
The more you do it, the more yeah, the deeper you go
, the places you will go.
Yeah, and I really wanted tohave you on the show too, not
only because I freaking love you, but um, um.
But there's a lot ofcontraindications with spinal
energetics, and one of them isany history of heart problems,
right, and so, um,hypnotherapists is an awesome
(17:11):
replacement for that.
Um, yeah, so, so why don't youtalk us through a little bit
more about, like, what ishypnotherapy?
What does a session actuallylook like with you?
Kind of walk us through whatthat experience would be like.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Absolutely so.
You know, I started my practicebecause I wanted to help
empower other people to takecontrol of their lives and their
health and wellness and achievetheir goals, whatever that
means to them, because all of usare different, right, I work
with a lot of clients thatstruggle with those similar
things that we've already talkedabout, but also with, like,
high anxiety, or for clientsthat have sleep issues or sleep
(17:51):
insomnia, and so every sessionis a little different, but there
is a basic structure to itwhich I can talk to you about.
First off, I always like to sayhypnosis is not like what you
see in the movies.
I'm not some person in a darkroom.
You have a little thing overyour eyes that's what I tell you
(18:11):
about.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
My first semester in college I went to the University
of Tampa, my first and onlysemester there.
I left pretty quick.
It was not for me, but, um, ourlike intro, uh, introduction,
where everybody came together inthe same room.
They had like a little like gettogether in the on stage and
performance and they had ahypnotherapist come in and they
(18:33):
would go around, they like picklike random people out of the
crowd, have them sit down andthen they would make them fall
asleep right there.
Yep, I was like what the hellis this?
I never believed it, but what'syour take on that?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, so that's a different type of hypnosis than
what I do.
So there's different kinds ofhypnosis and that is called
stage hypnosis, where theaudience is ready and willing
and the stage hypnotist is ableto go around the room and see
those that are going to be openand ready to as you described it
, like go to sleep in theaudience, because they can tell
(19:05):
who's like, open and ready.
How can they tell?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I'm so curious, do you know?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, because I utilize the same thing with my
clients in session is like therehas to be a rapport built up,
you have to want it and there'sphysical cues.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I guess, like you know, if I'm making eye contact
with you and I'm like, really init, we have that rapport,
you're gonna go in okay that um,because we have that energy
exchange right right versussomebody in the crowd that's
like this, like me, like this is, or playing on their phone.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
then Lay down Jackson .
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Sorry, my dog is Jackson.
Lay down.
Hold, please, Lay down we havethe dogs on the show today.
You know all the blondes overhere.
Well, you're kind of blonderight now.
A little blonde, a littlelightness, yeah.
So tell us how your hypnosis isdifferent.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, so again that stage hypnosis and for the time
being the stage hypnotist isgoing to I'm not sure the whole
experience that you had, butthey will often run you through
like fake scenarios and at thattime, while you're in hypnosis,
you believe that you are thatperson.
Like maybe they tell you likeyou're a cop, or you know you
are a ballerina and normally inyour life you've never done
(20:29):
ballet, um, but they for thattemporary time while you're on
stage you're going to believethat story, that that's who you
are, um do they use that forlike manifestation?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I was just thinking I'm like, could somebody
hypnotize me and say I'm amillionaire, like?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
well, kind of, yeah, in a way that's a whole
different thing.
But yeah, oh, okay, but butyeah.
So for the stage hypnosis,though it's for fun and you're
there for enjoyment and it'sentertainment it's entertainment
, right, it's light fun.
I've participated in stagehypnosis before you have.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
like, oh, it's hilarious, I made it for myself.
I won the first conference thatI went to.
It was in Massachusetts and itwas all these hypnotists from
all around, and Tommy V, who's afantastic stage hypnotist, was
there and he, um, my friends andI that were all that all got
(21:28):
certified together, uh, all wentup on stage um to be hypnotized
during the show and, um, hehypnotized me to say that my
role was that anytime there werepeople clapping in the crowd, I
was to point at them and tellthem that they were being
illegal, and they just madeeverybody clap more and I was
(21:48):
just yelling the whole night.
It was hilarious, oh my.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
God.
So are you like conscious thewhole time?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, yeah, so you're aware the whole time in
hypnosis, whether you were doingstage conversational or you
know the traditional type ofhypnosis, you're always 100% of
the time in control.
You're always aware of what'shappening and if, at any time,
you want this session to be overyou, you have the power to make
(22:15):
that happen.
It's not mind control Like yousee in the movies.
I do not have power over you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's a choice that you are making.
I'm just kidding.
It's probably a good thing.
I feel like a lot of people areafraid to try it because of
that, they think like they can'tcontrol it but it's the same
thing with spinal energetics.
Like you're conscious the wholetime, you have control the
whole time.
It's more of a subconsciousbrainwave.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're bypassing your conscious factor.
The one that helps you tie yourshoes in the morning and makes
decisions all day long knows thedifference between hot and cold
.
We're bypassing that to getinto your subconscious where, if
I asked you, do you put yourright shoe on before your left,
or your left before your right?
That's something that'ssubconscious that you've been
doing since you were a kid.
Most of us don't think aboutthat.
(23:00):
I don't know Right Exactly.
So now, if you want to go putyour shoes on after I've asked
you that, you might stumble alittle because your subconscious
is going what we always just do, what we do, yeah, so that's
why people come to me is theyhave a habit or a pattern that's
stuck in their subconsciousthat they want to get rid of,
(23:21):
they want to overcome or torelease or let go of, right?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So anxiety, what are some common?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh, that's a big one Overthinking people pleasing,
not being able to set boundariesfor themselves, and stick to
them, stick to them.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You know, public speaking, even people come to me
for like insomnia for quittingsmoking or weight loss.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Wow, yeah, and one of the my biggest things, which I
rant about all the time.
When I see those like shots forweight loss commercials, it
just gets right under my skinbecause you know it's so scary.
You don't know what's in thoseshots.
Maybe you do, maybe you don't,but they come with side effects,
that's for sure.
And they don't get to the rootcause of the emotional eating or
the boredom snacking, or whyyou have been doing all the
(24:20):
right things but yet the weightwon't release.
It doesn't help with the rootcause, and that's the beauty of
hypnosis is that we don't need ashot to get into the root cause
, to find out what is going on.
Is this a trauma response?
Is it a habit, something you'rejust not even aware of?
And there are so much that wedo in a day.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Everything in our lives is based on the
subconscious it's like 95 95 ofhow we operate, maybe even more
than that, like it's justexactly, yeah, exactly and
there's some faulty wiring.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I often like say like our brains are like computers
and there's bad code.
There's bad code or there'soutdated code.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That's a good analogy .
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I like that yeah yeah , and it's time to get rid of it
.
It's time to rewrite the codeor get rid of it yeah, and make
see you later make room for ummoving forward.
So um, it's also not a truthserum.
So if you come to me and you'reworking on one thing, it's not
gonna make you tell me yourdeepest darkest secret.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, okay, I mean that's.
I'm laughing because, like I'msuch an honest person, maybe too
honest sometimes, but yeah,girl, I hear you.
I have, yeah, I have an openbook.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Uh, yeah, yeah, okay, so so you're oftentimes a worry
that people come for yeah thatmakes sense about what hypnosis
is and they're scared.
it's mind control and thatthey're going to tell me all the
things I can't believe thatthey tell me all their stuff
anyway, but that's because theyfeel comfortable and ready to
address that.
And the other thing that Ialways like to mention is when
(25:56):
we go into hypnosis and we'reworking on something that's
trauma related or, you know,really is something severe or
deep, we don't just go there inthe first session.
We're going to build up rapport, we're going to make sure that
you're ready, willing andprepared for it.
We're not just going to dive inand all of a sudden you're
(26:17):
revisiting this horrific thingthat happened in your life.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, re-traumatized yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Exactly, we do that when we're ready ready.
So and that's another fear thata lot of times people have is
they say like this is theultimate thing.
I know where it comes from, butI don't want to just like see
that again we can do workwithout having to see that again
yeah, yes.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So as you're, when they're under hypnosis laying
there um, they probably have ablindfold on right.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Um, sometimes I actually don't have people put a
blindfold on, because I cantell a lot of what's happening
by eye fluttering and yeah,that's a good point.
Yeah, yeah, yeah and you canactually.
You know, and that's actually areally good thing to bring up
too, is that you don't have tohave your eyes closed to be in
hypnosis.
You can have your eyes open oh,never thought of that yeah, you
(27:09):
can speak while you're inhypnosis.
You can cough, you can get up,you can walk around, you can
dance.
You can do whatever you wantwhile you're in hypnosis that
you normally would do duringyour normal wakening hours.
Wow, because it's not likefalling asleep, so any bodily
functions that you need you'vegot a cough or sneeze, or it's
not like falling asleep, so anybodily functions that you need,
you've got a cough or sneeze, orit's your arm.
You can do all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You can do it all.
Wow, that's cool.
I thought you always have tolay there and wear the blindfold
and just sink in.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It depends on the person because and that's the
beauty of hypnosis is it's verycustomizable.
So if I have a high anxietyclient, yes, we're going to
really just bring the wholeenergy in the space down so that
you can feel yourself relaxing.
So we are going to go throughthat I close and deep body
(28:01):
relaxation so that we can getinto your mind.
So if the body feels safe, thenthe mind feels safe and the
soul feels safe to come home.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
That makes sense.
Yeah, like old me who was super, super anxious panic attacks,
you name it I would need to dothat.
Like I have a lot of clientsthat struggle to sink into their
session, so we have to spendmore time at the beginning just
getting relaxed, you know, goingthrough all those meditation or
whatever it is, whereas, likenow, like I can close my eyes
(28:30):
and I'm like, boom, I'm there.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, same For me.
I always say I'm a cheap date.
If it's meditation, if it'shypnosis, if it's breath work,
whatever it is, I'm like in it,like a breath, and I'm gone.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, that get it, that's, good.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I remember what it was like when I started this
journey and it was easy, like Iwas so open and ready.
I wanted change so badly but,like you said, the past versions
of myself riddled with anxietyand fear.
I once cracked my steeringwheel in my car because I was
having such a deep panic attack.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
God late for something, and I just remember
gripping the steering wheel sohard I heard a crack holy shit
yeah, and that was you know.
I'll never forget thatexperience and, like going whoa,
that was like an overreactionto what was happening, but that
was the level I was living at.
I always I was living for a lotof time with a low level
(29:30):
anxiety like which would peakand peak but it never fully
would go away.
I used to sleep two to fourhours a night for the 33 years
of my life.
Wow, sorry.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now the dog's playing with the boat.
Hold on, lily, come on, okay,yeah, all right, the, the, the,
the pups are riled up.
This afternoon that we we wentfor a walk and we came back
dad's at work, so we're justkind of adapting here, going
with the flow.
Thanks, your patience everybody.
(30:04):
Um, yeah, so, yeah, that's,that's crazy with the anxiety.
So maybe we can use that as anexample.
Like what have you found?
Like somebody who's underhypnosis?
Like what are you telling themto do?
Or are you telling yep?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
yep, okay, so, um, so most sessions that I work with
clients it's an hour and a half.
I always do a phoneconsultation first so I can
learn a little bit more aboutyou and your experience and what
you're going through, what yourgoals are, and you know, we get
to talk a little bit about whathypnosis is and what to expect
and all that, and then duringour first session, we'll talk a
(30:43):
little bit more about what'shappening and start to build
like a blueprint or a game planfor our work together.
And so we'll stick with anxiety.
That's a perfect example.
So many people live with it.
And so our first session we'regoing to talk a little bit.
Likely we're going to talk alittle bit about some things
that are going on in your liferight now that are causing
(31:04):
anxiety, not like a level 10anxiety, but we're going to talk
a little bit.
We're going to get thosefeelings pumping and we're going
to kind of start bringing upthe little low level anxiety so
that you can experience therelease right away.
So, and I'm going to bring youup to maybe a seven or eight,
depending on the client Someclients that I have come in and
they're already at a 10.
(31:25):
I've had clients that come inand they're like, listen, I
almost didn't make it in herebecause there's no, I mean.
So that's what we'll do.
We'll get talking a little bitfirst and a lot of times high
anxiety clients have a hardertime, just as you were
describing, going into thathypnotic state.
So we just take it easy and Istart with a little bit of
(31:47):
conversational hypnosis again,where we're going to talk a
little bit about what theyexperience, what they want to
experience in these situationsin their life, because they do
know, like I don't want to reactlike this or I want to have a
calm mind or feel clear or nothave my cheeks or have my ears
burn, or yeah you know, feel myheart upset stomach like I used
(32:09):
to get really nauseous likedigestive problems, ibs, that
kind of stuff.
Anxiety same here horrible,horrible ideas and so we'll
start talking a little bit aboutthat and start talking about,
like you know, what sort ofthings do bring them joy in
their life and or where ittracks right so we may touch on,
(32:48):
and some people are aware ofthe root cause of their anxiety
or whatever their goal is, um,and some people are not, because
it's been so ingrained in themfor they'll just come in and go
forever I've always been likethis and so we'll get you into
the conversational part ofhypnosis and then we'll likely
(33:08):
what I do with most high anxietyclients is I'm going to help
you physically relax your body,because oftentimes we hold that
tension and stress in our bodyoften in our necks or stomachs,
like you and I.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Without even knowing it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Shoulders.
And we don't realize it tillsomebody says release the
tension in your shoulders, andthen all of a sudden you see
them slink in their chair umyeah, I have to do that
sometimes while I'm working oreven like doing a podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm like, wait, I relax my shoulders really quick.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah yeah, I have a thing about like jutting my neck
out um, and I'm always likejust tuck your chin, you don't
want a turkey neck later umwe're making funny faces now
with their heads, yeah so I willwalk them through a progressive
(34:01):
relaxation which is designed tohelp the body release tension
and which opens up thesubconscious mind feeling a
little bit more free.
And then we're going to starthauling out the clutter in your
mind and, depending on theclient, I'll use different
visualizations or, like we'retalking about the computer code,
I'll use more analytical termsfor clients that are less visual
(34:25):
and more auditory or analytical.
So that's the beauty of my work.
I know one of the things a lotof people say like is it the
same every time?
Like if I came to you, and itlike no, no, it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Every layer is different.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I personally don't use scripts.
I have, like, ideas and like.
I have a plan and a method ofhow I get you to what you want.
I have a protocol, but everyperson is different.
Everybody's experience isdifferent.
So, like you said, there'sdifferent layers and there's
different deepening, soeverybody is going to be
different.
And yeah, um, so I go.
(35:06):
I am an intuitive hypnotist, soI go with what I'm reading and
picking up on with my clients,I'm able to create visuals or
non-visuals for those that needthat, based on the person.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
That's so good yeah To be able to adapt along the
session with the client yeah,Versus like.
Oh, you're experiencing traumaright now.
Okay, we're gonna go talk aboutum something fun, or you know
like you gotta adapt exactlyexactly.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And sometimes they come in and they say you know I
want to quit smoking, but reallyokay.
Well, when did you startsmoking?
Why do you smoke?
When do you smoke?
So it's really anxiety thatyou're experiencing in your life
and you're using smoking as away to help calm your nerves or
to give you a moment of clarityor find a piece of joy in your
(35:58):
really busy day.
That cigarette, really, thatinstant gratification goes away
when the cigarette does, and theanxiety comes back right, but
that's what they've been usingas a tool to help them, and so
oftentimes that's what I findwith clients.
They may come for one thing,and once we start peeling back
the layers, we realize thedeeper it goes deep, yeah, yeah,
(36:21):
that's just the surface symptom, right, yeah, um so yeah, once
we get to the releasing andletting go of all the clutter in
the mind, all the overthinking,the negative habits and
patterns and all of that.
We get to the part where this iswhere the fun comes in.
You get to paint the picture.
This is where thatmanifestation that you were
talking about earlier comes inyes, my favorite part.
(36:45):
Yeah, I no, I love it when youget to live the life.
Have so much on my to-do listto do that I would just do none
(37:12):
of it, or I would wait andhalf-ass it, or I'd wait until
the last minute and then stressball, run around and get it all
done, which was horrible.
And um, when I stopped thatpattern, oh boy did my life
change.
But I just started doing stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's a small thing throughout the day.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I mean it makes such a huge mindset change.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yeah, oh, it's like a ripple effect to like all the
areas in your life.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Exactly, exactly.
So one of the things thatpeople often ask me about is you
know, like do I just come forone session?
How many is it?
And I work with people on aminimum of three sessions
Because we are going to build uprapport, especially for anxiety
clients.
It's going to take us a minute,depending on your level of
anxiety and where your life,because we're going to attack it
(38:01):
from all angles and get you, sothat you are living an
empowered, confident life whereyour mind is free of clutter and
debris.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So one session is usually about an hour and a half
, depending on the client, andwe really get in there to
declutter and we are able tostart manifesting that life.
And it's not just aboutvisualizing what it is you want.
We start building the stepstowards it.
What ways of thinking do youneed to now adopt?
We're going to implant thoseinto your subconscious.
(38:33):
What, um, what action steps doyou need to take?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
like we're talking about all the repatterning yeah,
all the repatterning.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
So, like I said, I see you as a whole.
We're going to work with you asa whole.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, I love that.
Like you said, it's reallyabout clearing first, taking out
what's not wanted anymore andmaking room for whatever it is
that you want to programsubconsciously.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Because once we get into the subconscious and we
make pattern interrupts.
So when we're in the process,like I said, we're going to
bring up some of those low levelanxieties and there's some
reprogramming that we do and asyou go through that experience
of feeling that anxiety, we arepattern interrupting and when we
do that we create newneuroplasticity, we create new
(39:24):
pathways for your brain toexpand and grow, and that's the
science behind it.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
So that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
There's so much about hypnosis, but it really, truly,
is science backed that it itdoes make effect.
It's why one of the things Ialways tell my clients is
anything that's implanted inyour subconscious must come true
.
It's scientifically backed andthat's the fact.
Like, when we're born, we arenot born with a conscious mind.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Where we have a, we have a subconscious factor which
is like yeah, isn't it not tilllike we're seven years old that
we really become conscious?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
somewhere between seven and 12.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
That's where you start making decisions for
yourself.
Oh, do I like this color orthat color?
Or you know I like this type ofshoe.
Or you know I enjoy math, or Ilike science, or I don't like
either of those.
Or you know I like beingoutside.
That's when you really startmaking decisions about your
identity and who you are as aperson, and up and until that
point, you are subject to yourenvironment.
(40:28):
So your parents, yourgrandparents, your teachers,
your 10 siblings you are subjectof your environment.
So, whatever you see, hear,witness, taste, touch and do all
becomes your truth, until youstart recognizing what it is
(40:49):
that you want and don't want,and because all of that becomes
your truth and gets implanted asnarratives in your subconscious
.
It's why we have childhoodtrauma and work that we have to
redo, because there's storiesand narratives that were told to
us as children have you foundthat a lot of clients get go
back to like before the age ofseven, or is it usually after
(41:13):
the age of seven?
just curious you know that's agreat question and honestly it
depends on the client and whatit is.
But overall, if I'm doing aregressive, it's before the age
of seven most I.
It would surprise you how manyinfants or even um in the womb.
I've been to the womb yeah, yep, I've been to the womb.
(41:36):
I've been beyond the room pastlife, yeah, well, yes, but also
not past life.
In this life, I my essence,before being in the womb.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I've been the interlife.
Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, this isthe shit.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
I love yeah okay, healing, and I do past life
regressions as well um, which isdifferent from what we've
talked about so far.
I know we probably are runningshort on time, but we're good,
we're good but yeah, I do alsooffer past life regressions and
maybe we can have anotherepisode just on past life stuff,
(42:14):
cause it's so fascinating to me, so fascinating, um, but that's
usually a couple hours long forthat session, depending on the
client and how many lives we goback to.
Um, usually two or three,depending on the client and how
many lives we go back to um,usually two or three, depending
on the client and what we'researching for yeah, I did
(42:34):
another episode, gosh.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
it's been a while, but we talked about past life,
like regression and like justtalking about past lives in
general.
So I can't remember whichepisode it is, but just scroll
down, guys and you'll find it.
Um, but yeah, it's sointeresting, like, whether you
believe it or not, it it has, uh, it helps so so much when you
(42:56):
can kind of tap into whateverstory is there, because a lot of
times whatever comes up thatstory is similar to what's going
on in your life now and that'swhere you can kind of learn the
lessons.
So it's kind of like having abird's eye view or just having a
different look at life, so thatchanges can happen on a
(43:19):
subconscious level.
It's really quite fascinatingyeah.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
It is, and it's a way to just like we were talking
about, not having to experiencethat which you are dealing with
in this life, but be able to,like you said, have that third,
that bird's eye view ofsomething else.
Yeah, parallels what you'reexperiencing now and it's very
transformative.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
I know clients that have had remarkable
breakthroughs, had remarkablebreakthroughs um and after one
session with past life, theynever bite their nails again or
they never pick up anothercigarette again, and you know
that's amazing based on a pastlife that they're witnessing
(44:01):
yeah, and I know they've done alot of studies too with this too
, with like kids and kidssharing like who they were in a
past life, and then they look upthis person and they're like
every detail is accurate.
It blows my mind, it reallydoes, and that's actually a good
question too.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
A lot of people ask can kids be hypnotized?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Oh, yeah, Kids are great.
Really Kids are great oh cool?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Yeah, because they are in their subconscious
already yeah, and they are moreopen to change and suggestion
than adults who have beenthrough a life of what putting
conditioning yeah, yeah yeah, oh, that's cool man.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
You all said mike your way, he acts like it.
No, I'm just kidding my husband, I'm kidding guys, I'm kidding.
I was going to say I've alsonoticed, too, like we were
joking earlier about us having10 siblings.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
But I've also had 10 siblings in other lives too, too
, or I was the mother or fatherof 10 and I was like it's so
interesting how, like, you'rekind of reborn into that same
lifestyle in a sense, and itwill happen until lessons are
learned from that yeah, yeah,and I've been in the same,
similar and past lives whereI've been a caretaker for
children that are not mine,which is, as you know, being in
(45:30):
a family as many as nine or 10,you often, as the older sibling,
are put in that role, and I'vebeen in past lives where that's
been the case, like I've takencare of, like, children that are
not mine.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I've been in a role where I was responsible for,
like you know, I was overseeing,or you know, in that role of
leadership.
It's just very interesting howit plays in this life too.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
Yeah, yeah, I've even had it with like, like people
I've let go in my life and thenI'd like see them in another
life and how mean they were tome then too.
Like this is the life, Ifinally get the chance to let
those people go um and stand bythat.
But, man, I wish I could talkall day with you.
Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Cycle breakers, I feel like we could do this for
like days on end.
Yes, we've just barely touchedthe stuff.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Yeah, we did, yeah, yeah, well, tell everyone where
they can find you.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Okay, so please follow me.
I am on Instagram as theunderscore empowerment hypnotist

Facebook it's Rosa Whipple andmy website is hypnosis body,

Yeah, I know they're all long Iwas picking out all of this
whatever it's the name thatcounts, you know the energy
behind it, that is and can Itell everybody, like when I'm
doing a free offering, oh heck,yeah tell them.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yes, yes please so I am offering on March 24th, at 6
30 pm eastern standard time, Iam doing a hypnosis intro.

I'm going to talk more abouthypnosis, what it is, what it

that hypnosis can help benefitand a little bit more about my
(47:39):
story, and then I'm going toguide everybody through a
stress-relieving relaxationhypnosis session at the end.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
So, guys, you better jump on that free 99 bitches.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Get on it while you can join, learn, ask your
questions like it's uh, it's allconversational um.
So if people have questions orwant to have more in-depth
conversation about it, that'swhat it's all about.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
And they can meet.
This is going to be on zoom.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
It's going to be over zoom, so, uh, to sign up, you
can go to my Facebook page.
There's an event on my Facebookpage.
You just click that and putyour email in the link, um, or
you can go to my website.
It's on my website as well,sweet, and it's on Instagram and

It's going to be fun.
Yeah, and then you're inSunapee, new Hampshire, but you
also do online sessions.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Yes as well.
Thank you for bringing that up.
I work with clients over Zoomall the time, and one thing that
a lot of people ask about is doI get the same benefits?
Is it the same over zoom as itis in person?
The answer is yes, because it'sall about rapport between me
and the client, rapport betweenus and your subconscious.
So that's again where I alwayshave that phone call first and
(49:06):
then the opportunity to chat andthe energy.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Sometimes I feel like it's better, especially as a
new client, to start in yourhome, because you're in the
comfort of your own home too,yeah, I just found that it's a
good thing, but it's also can belike a hindrance.
Oh yeah, if you have like ninekids running around, yeah, that
too.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
But for some people it's really good to get out of
their own space to make changebecause it forces them um.
But you gain the same benefitswhether you're over zoom or in
person, and whether you're ingroup or in person.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
We didn't even talk about that I might have to do a
hypnosis past life regressionwith you soon, because I I did
it once before and it was socool what came through.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
Um, yeah, so yeah, it's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I don't get to do it that often because in my area it
is not.
There's not as much of a highdemand for it, so yeah, well,
there's not many people thereeither.
Well, there's certainly not alot of people here.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Population's a little low, I know Cause that's where
I grew up.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
Guys, yeah, 3,400 people in front of me.
