Biography for James Figard, CHt

This is where you stop reacting to life… and start seizing it!

Carpe Vitam Hypnotherapy is a professional hypnotherapy practice dedicated to helping individuals regain control of their lives and unlock their full potential. The name Carpe Vitam, Latin for “Seize Life,” reflects the core philosophy of the business: empowering clients with the tools and mindset needed to take back control and create meaningful, lasting change. At Carpe Vitam Hypnotherapy, Seize Life is more than a phrase—it is a commitment to reclaiming control, restoring purpose, and unlocking the full potential within.

Too often, individuals find themselves held back by stress, habits, limiting beliefs, or unseen mental barriers. This practice exists to change that. Through the power of hypnotherapy and subconscious transformation, clients are guided to break free from what no longer serves them and step into a more focused, confident, and empowered version of themselves. Carpe Vitam Hypnotherapy provides the tools, strategies, and support needed to not just cope with life—but to take ownership of it. This is not about temporary change. This is about creating lasting transformation from within.

Experience

The combination of my disciplines—hypnotherapy, emergency medicine, fitness, nutrition, and yoga—creates a comprehensive and highly effective approach to personal transformation. I do not simply address surface-level behaviors; I understand how the body, mind, and subconscious interact under stress, habit formation, and change.

This allows me to guide clients in a way that is both deeply therapeutic and strategically practical. My training and experience enable me to meet clients where they are, quickly identify root causes, and implement targeted interventions that produce lasting results. This integrated expertise makes me uniquely qualified to help individuals not only change—but truly take control of their lives and sustain that transformation long-term.
