Hypnosis for Children

Give your child the edge to succeed - the quality of life that he or she deserves!



As a parent, there's nothing your wouldn't do to help your child be at his or her very best. Whether it's getting better grades, fixing a behavior or medical issue, excelling in sports, or simply getting along better with you, siblings, or peers - we can help.

Hypnosis works so well with children because they have fewer imprints and less years of reinforcement in their minds. Their subconscious is highly receptive because, as children, they are literally creating the structure of their inner library and its beliefs, impressions and life experiences.

These will affect them for the rest of their lives. For this reason children have a natural drive and hunger for new experiences and ideas. They love to discover things and are very open to learning, receiving and even responding to new ideas.

In fact, most qualified hypnotists agree that children are the easiest to work with by far! Although children as young as 3 years old can be hypnotized, children aged 7 and up respond best to hypnosis. Most Children only need a few sessions.

Please Note: as a company policy, we have elected to offer our hypnosis programs to children who are at least 5 years old or older.

Parental Support Very Important
As in any intervention with children, it is important for parents to be present and informed. During sessions the parent is either relaxing nearby in the background or waiting outside the hypnosis office. Parents are supportive and encouraging, but really don't play any part in the actual sessions.

During the first session
In the first session, just like with adults, the child identifies the problem and decides what kind of outcome they want. It is also a time of building rapport and trust between child and hypnotist. During this session the child is evaluated to determine that they are willing to work with the hypnotist and that they want to change.

We use the natural power of your child's Imagination
Most children reach powerful levels of hypnosis far faster than adults. We may use one or any of the following to help transform a child while in hypnosis: Stories, visualizations, imaginative games, role playing, magic, puppets, costumes and any other tool we feel we may need!

We have extensive working with children in the following areas:

No Side Effects or Risks
Hypnosis, when done by a professional like us, poses no risk whatsoever nor does it have any adverse effects. Furthermore, hypnosis is a very powerful method for change and has helped thousands of American children to make all sorts of changes in their lives. However, hypnosis is not mind control. For instance, not even the most excellent hypnotist can MAKE a child change behaviors if they really don't want to or if the parents continue to make opposing non-supportive or non-encouraging suggestions in their day to day life.

When You Start With Better Hypnosis - You End With Better Results!
Most programs are all-inclusive, which means you get pre-hypnosis tools, hypnosis sessions, reinforcement audio's, relapse prevention CD, lifetime reduced client rate, and they are backed by our "stick with it" guarantee.



Did You Know? Children go into hypnosis more easily than adults. In fact, while they generally don't do things like keep their eyes closed or stay still during a hypnosis session, this is actually very normal, and it means that they are absorbed in the hypnotic process.
