Biography for Marie L. Griffen, CCHt

Marie has operated her practice in beautiful Virginia Beach, Virginia since 2022. She has made it her mission to introduce people to the amazing power of the human mind through hypnosis. To help human sufferings through releasing guilt and shame, releasing anxiety, fears and phobias, changing the old scripts that run through our minds. Something that someone may have said to us out of their own hurts and pains in our childhood. The seemingly insignificant remark that has crippled our self-esteem. The reasons we say or do thing that sabotages our dreams. Logically it makes no sense at all, we know we are capable of so much more and yet, here we sit day after day.

Marie enjoys being able to work with her client in the privacy of their own homes anywhere in the world via Zoom video call. Hypnotherapy is now her passion. She makes a nonjudgmental space where she can help the client find where they truly want to change, to improve, or maybe just reframe an old belief. She especially loves to work with sports performance, where a client can truly be their very best. Marie has taken a great interest in pain management, to come alongside the clients and physicians. Helping clients be able to lower their pain levels to live a better quality of life.
