Biography for Lana M. Ryder, CHt

I am dedicated to helping clients understand how their minds truly work. I believe the mind is not something to battle, it is something to partner with. When people learn how to direct their thoughts with purpose, meaningful and lasting change becomes possible.

I specialize in helping individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered. Whether working with stress, burnout, confidence, motivation, or life transitions, I guide clients to reconnect with their inner strengths and develop tools they can apply in everyday situations. Each session is personalized, blending structured techniques with creative imagery that makes the experience both effective and engaging.

Before entering hypnotherapy, I spent years in leadership and client-centered roles, developing a strong foundation in communication, problem-solving, and human behavior. That background allows me to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, respected, and capable of growth.

My mission is simple: to help people work with their minds instead of against them.
