Open in MapsIs hypnosis real?
It isn’t a stage act, and nobody takes control of anything. Hypnotherapy is a focused, relaxed state — closer to being absorbed in a book than to being asleep. You’re aware the whole time, and you can stop whenever you want to.
Is this therapy?
No. This is supportive subconscious work, and it isn’t a substitute for medical or mental-health care. Plenty of people do both, and Anya will say so plainly if what you need is a different kind of support.
I’ve tried meditation and it didn’t help.
Meditation works with the conscious mind. This work goes underneath it — to the patterns that keep running whether or not you’ve decided to relax.
How long does this take?
Most people work with Anya over about five sessions across two or three months. The first conversation is free, twenty minutes, and it exists to figure out fit — not to sell a package.
What does a session cost?
Stand-in: session price, any package, and how payment works.
Can I work with Anya online?
Stand-in: yes or no, and how.
What happens in the free call?
Stand-in: what she’ll ask, what you can ask, and what happens after.
