Question 1

Can you explain what hypnotherapy is and how it works?

Accepted Answer

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to access your subconscious mind, where emotional patterns, memories, and beliefs are stored. By working at this deeper level, using various therapeutic modalities, profound and lasting change becomes possible.

Question 2

What topics and issues can hypnotherapy help with?

Accepted Answer

It’s effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, relationships, stress, phobias, addictions, grief, and inner conflict. Many also use it for growth — to connect more deeply with themselves, gain clarity, and align with their true potential.

Question 3

Is hypnotherapy safe? Will I lose control during a session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it’s completely safe. Though you will be relaxed and have your eyes close for some portion of the session, you remain aware and in control the entire time. The process simply guides you into a relaxed yet alert state, similar to meditation or deep focus, where your mind is more open to much different level of healing and insight.

Question 4

What’s the difference between hypnotherapy and traditional talk therapy?

Accepted Answer

The primary difference is that talk therapy works through conscious awareness where as hypnotherapy works through the subconscious — the part that drives emotions, habits, and automatic reactions. 
Note:  When used together or in sequence, both can be highly complementary.

Question 5

How is hypnotherapy at Maja Healing different from other approaches?

Accepted Answer

Our hypnotherapists at Maja Healing are all Holistic Healing Hypnosis Certified (HHH).  The HHH process and method is trauma-informed, integrative, always customized to the client goal & needs, and works with the subconscious, unconscious and superconscious mind.  We combine psychology, neuroscience, energetics, and the body’s natural intelligence to create a safe, grounded, and effective process for lasting transformation.

Question 6

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

Accepted Answer

There are three portions to hypnotherapy sessions. 
1. Pre-Talk - 30 minutes:
You will begin with a conversation to clarify what you would like to work on and gather relevant information to help with the hypnosis portion.  This is followed by a short bathroom break before the second portion begin.
2.  Hypnosis Portion - 2 hours to 2.5 hours:
The hypnotherapist then guides you into a relaxed state (hypnosis) where you can access your subconscious mind. From there, the process unfolds naturally through continuous dialogue, imagery, and healing integration.
3.  Post-Talk:  5-30 minutes:
When you are fully aware and alert, a debrief takes place where insights & reflections are shared.  Post session information is shared at this time.

Question 7

Do I need to prepare before my first session?

Accepted Answer

Come with an open mind and a clear intention for what you would like to explore. Avoid stimulants beforehand, wear something comfortable, and allow space for rest and integration afterward if possible.

Question 8

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the issue and your current condition. Many clients notice a shift or significant reduction after one session, while deeper patterns or more intertwined topics may require several sessions. Your hypnotherapist at Maja Healing will discuss this with you after the first session or intake.

Question 9

What if I can’t be hypnotized or have trouble relaxing?

Accepted Answer

Everyone can experience hypnosis — it’s simply a natural state of focused awareness.  If you have trouble relaxing, your therapist will guide you gently until you feel comfortable and safe, or will recommend an alternate approach before a hypnotherapy session.

Question 10

Can sessions be done online or only in person?

Accepted Answer

Both are available. While many prefer the in-person experience at Maja Healing, online sessions are equally effective and ideal for clients living abroad or unable to travel.

Question 11

Is hypnotherapy suitable for trauma or deep emotional issues?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when facilitated by a trauma-informed therapist, it can be profoundly healing. At Maja Healing, we work with sensitivity, ethics, and care to ensure you remain resourced and supported throughout.

Question 12

How long is each session and how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

A hypnotherapy session lasts about 2.5 hours to 3 hours. Fees vary depending on the therapist’s level and experience. You can view the current rates on our Booking page or contact us directly for details.

Rapid Hypnotherapy sessions last between 1.5 hours to 2 hours.  Fees vary depending on the therapist’s level and experience. Rapid Hypnotherapy sessions are only available to return clients and will depend on the topic.

Question 13

What should I expect to feel after a session?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after the session, most clients feel anything from normal to lighter, grounded, and clear right after the session.

Several hours after the session, clients can feel anything from normal to tired - mentally and/or emotionally.  Sometimes emotions surface gently as the mind and body integrate the work. It is for this reason we suggest to eat something after the session and taking the rest of the day calmly and allowing space to rest and reflect.

Over the following 1-2 days, what clients feel depend on the topic addressed and processed in the session.  This can include feeling lighter and more joyful, or more spacious and relaxed.  Some may feel more lethargic or fatigued, more sensitive or withdrawn, more hungry or creative, or feel that some of their symptoms are stronger than usual.  These post-session effects typically are temporary and tend to clear out or stabilize after 2-3 nights sleep.

Over the coming weeks, clients report feeling the positive shift increase or becoming more anchored within.

Please note that while it may take up to 14 days post-session for full integration, the strongest integration are usually within 2-3 days.

Question 14

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel a session.

All cancellations and rescheduling made within 48 hours of scheduled session start time or no-shows are charged in full to respect the room booking, therapist’s time and other clients on the waiting list (unless request is due to health or unusual circumstances).

Please note that any rescheduling will be subject to the therapist's availability.

Question 15

Do you offer package rates or discounts for multiple sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer package rates for clients dedicated to deeper healing over multiple sessions. You can discuss these options with your hypnotherapist. Packages can be purchased before or after your first session, depending on what feels right for you. Please note, if you buy a package after your initial session, that session won't be included in the package.

Question 16

Are the results of hypnotherapy permanent?

Accepted Answer

When genuine change occurs at the subconscious level, the results are lasting. However, healing is a process — new life experiences can bring up deeper layers to address. Many clients return occasionally for integration or continued growth rather than to “fix” an issue again.

Question 17

How can I integrate what comes up in a session into daily life?

Accepted Answer

Integration happens through awareness and gentle action. After your session, take time to rest, reflect, and notice subtle shifts in how you feel or respond to situations. As your mind and body integrate, you may begin to experience more space between reaction and response — allowing you to choose how to respond in a way that feels most ideal for yourself and the situation.

Small, conscious practices such as journaling, light breathwork, grounding, or whatever it may be that you find useful, can help anchor the insights into daily life.

If you’d like additional support, you are welcome to reach out to your hypnotherapist for a 30 or 60 minute conscious talk or counselling call to help process or integrate what has surfaced.

Question 18

Can I continue working with my hypnotherapist long-term for personal growth?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many clients choose to continue working with their therapist for deeper self-understanding, emotional mastery, or life direction. Long-term work can be profoundly rewarding when you feel safe and aligned with your hypnotherapist.

Some clients pre-book their sessions either every month, every quarter, every 6 months or once a year, such as on their birthdays!

Question 19

Is everything shared in a hypnotherapy session confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All hypnotherapy sessions are strictly confidential and follow professional ethical standards.  No parts of the session are recorded by us, and we will request that you do not record any of the session as well.

The only exception is if there’s a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, in which case your therapist will be required to act to ensure safety with care and transparency.

Question 20

How do I know if I’m ready for hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

When you are ready for change.

You may be ready for hypnotherapy, for example, if you’re tired of repeating the same emotional, mental, behavioral, or energetic patterns — and you’re ready for something to truly shift.

Many clients come when they notice they’re struggling in one particular area of life, despite knowing what they “should” do. They have the conscious knowledge but can’t seem to follow through or do what’s best for themselves, no matter how hard they try.

Hypnotherapy is ideal when you sense that something deeper is affecting your quality of life — whether it’s an old wound, a fear, or an inner block. If you’re open to exploring what’s beneath the surface and allowing your subconscious to guide your healing, you’re ready.
