Biography for Leslie M. Swedish, CHt

As a mother of three children spanning from young adult to toddler and with a diverse professional background that includes nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, artistry, hairstyling, administration, entrepreneurship, and nonprofit leadership (as the founder and president of The Moxxi Women’s Foundation), my journey has been multifaceted.

Through my own process of healing and personal growth, I came to understand the challenges of effecting lasting change. Despite our best intentions, we often find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, grappling with the frustration of knowing what needs to change yet struggling to make it happen. It’s a universal struggle, recognizing the need for transformation but feeling powerless to enact it.

This realization ignited my passion for hypnotherapy. I saw in it a powerful tool to facilitate profound and lasting change by tapping into the subconscious mind, where entrenched patterns and beliefs reside. By harnessing the transformative potential of hypnotherapy, I found a way to help others break free from self-imposed limitations and unlock their true potential.

Experience

My diverse professional background has provided me with a unique perspective and the ability to connect with clients from all walks of life. As a hypnotherapist, I specialize in inner healing and psychosynthesis, helping clients address a wide range of concerns, including habit control, relationship satisfaction, anxiety, confidence, and more.

I have extensive experience in smoking cessation, weight loss, past life regression, procrastination, and overcoming sexual dysfunction, among other areas. While my private practice is based in Upstate New York, I effectively work with clients nationwide via Zoom.

My practice is built on the core values of integrity, compassion, discernment, and confidentiality. I am dedicated to providing honest and transparent guidance, approaching each client with empathy and understanding. Through thoughtful discernment, I tailor my approach to meet each individual’s evolving needs, ensuring their well-being remains my top priority. Above all, I honor the trust placed in me by maintaining strict confidentiality, creating a safe and supportive space for personal growth and transformation.
