Biography for Denise A. Gallagher, CHt

As an RN, a CPA, a life coach, and now as a hypnotherapist, I have helped many people to make changes in their lives so that they could be, do, or have what they wanted. I have observed that change is easiest when you can get your powerful subconscious mind working for you instead of against you.

Hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool for reaching the subconscious mind where limiting beliefs and associations reside. In hypnotherapy, limiting beliefs and associations can be replaced with empowering beliefs and associations. Of course, you, as the client, are always aware and in control.

Why rely on willpower that often falls short, when you can use hypnotherapy to bring your powerful subconscious mind onboard to support you? In hypnosis, you are in a deep state of physical and mental relaxation, allowing your subconscious mind to accept beneficial, positive suggestions made by the hypnotherapist. Although hypnotherapy is not magic, the changes it helps to create can seem magical!

Experience

For over two years, I have assisted clients through hypnotherapy to move forward with career and educational goals, create satisfying relationships, improve sleep, live healthier lifestyles (improve eating habits and exercise), prepare for medical procedures, stop biting cuticles, increase confidence and, manage stress and anxiety.

Prior to becoming a Certified Hypnotherapist, I was a Professional Certified Coach. I coached clients, many of them adults with ADD, for eighteen years. I worked with them to organize themselves for work and school, increase self-confidence, and manage anxiety. I discovered that clients achieve their goals and attain their desires more easily when they are able to enlist the aid of the subconscious mind though hypnotherapy rather than trying to accomplish things through sheer willpower.
