The Hypnosis and Healing Arts group in Ottawa offers:

Our multi-disciplinary team  brings over 20 years of combined experience in hypnosis/hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, educational counselling, teaching/training, Yoga, NLP and other healing modalities. We are a brief intervention agency (maximum 6 sessions). We encourage and expect our clients to work with us, instead of us working for them. All clients receive the copy of the audiorecording of each hypnosis session, so that they can learn the modalities we use and work on their own in private. To maintain a climate of mutual trust and transparency, we video record all hypnosis sessions. 

It is our belief that healing occurs when the person actively participates in the process. Therefore, it is crucial that our clients take full responsibility for their well-being and be fully involved in making/allowing the change(s) to happen. Hypnosis, while seemingly a passive modality, requires open-mindedness, participation, cooperation, strong motivation, realistic expectations, imagination, appreciation of Self and determination. Many of these requirements can be accomplished through self-hypnosis, if the mind is open to change.

Hypnosis has been often associated with the placebo effect. Despite the association between the two interventions, hypnosis is not placebo. Hypnosis contains specific cognitive sequences that help us reframe or re-program our thinking and perceptions of the reality that placebo does not have. These sequences are based on scientific theories and philosophy, and evidence-based practice.
