HypnoSistah
A proud mental health professional and board-certified fellow of clinical hypnotherapy.
What Does HypnoSistah Mean?
I am affectionately known as the HypnoSistah because I stand in my sisters' collective strength and resilience (honoring my ancestors, elders, mothers, and sisters around the globe).
While 'Hypno' means 'sleep' in Greek, fear not—I won't be putting you to sleep. Instead, my hypnosis technique is designed to help rest your 'weathered' body, mind, and spirit - restoring what was harmed, denied, or stolen. It's about guiding you to a state of deep relaxation where healing can truly begin.
Sistah, or more commonly 'sista,' is an African American Vernacular English (AAVE) word for sister. It is a noun for those with a shared culture, racial roots, and history, especially proud black women.
HypnoSistah represents who I am and what I do. It defines the transformational power of my work as a healing professional and signifies my commitment to collective wellness.
Ancestral Wisdom and Cultural Heritage
In our journey together, I draw upon the wisdom and traditions of our ancestors, recognizing the importance of cultural heritage and community support in the healing process. As a black mental health professional, I understand the significance of acknowledging and honoring our shared history and the unique challenges we face in navigating a world shaped by systemic oppression.
The HypnoSistah Approach
My hypnotherapy approach is decolonial and liberation-focused and seeks to repair the psychological damage perpetuated by systemic inequity and injustice. By tapping into the subconscious mind, we can uncover and shift the internalized messages reinforcing oppression, paving the way for healing and transformation.
The HypnoSistah method intersects ancestral wisdom, culture, social justice, and liberation-focused practices. It integrates evidence-based practices, including Trauma-Informed Therapies, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Neuroscience, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness Meditative Practices, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mind/Body Therapies.
But don't just take my word for it—here's what some of my clients have shared:
"The HypnoSistah's approach to hypnotherapy is unlike anything I've experienced before. Her reverence for our shared cultural heritage and commitment to liberation shines through in every session. I feel seen, heard, and empowered to reclaim my narrative." - Nia
"Working with the HypnoSistah has been a revelation. Her ability to create a safe, nurturing space for exploration and healing is remarkable. I've experienced profound shifts in my mindset and well-being." - Jamal
If you're ready to embark on a healing, empowerment, and liberation journey, I invite you to connect with me. Together, we can cultivate a future where mental wellness is accessible and everyone can thrive.
