Biography for Marija Mikolajczak, CHt

True transformation happens beneath the surface—where thoughts, emotions, and energy meet. Whether your challenge shows up as physical pain, emotional stress, or spiritual disconnection, real change begins in the subconscious mind.

Marija Mikolajczak is a Certified Hypnotherapist and Mind-Body-Spirit Coach who helps clients harness trance states for both clinical and spiritual transformation. Known as The Pain Alchemist, she bridges neuroscience and intuitive wisdom to support healing, clarity, and purpose at the deepest level.

Her integrative approach helps clients release the subconscious patterns that drive chronic pain, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs, while cultivating balance, resilience, and confidence in everyday life. Through a combination of hypnotherapy, coaching, and energy awareness, Marija guides people to reconnect with their body’s natural intelligence and their soul’s greater direction.

Marija’s background includes advanced study in Reiki, dowsing, and intuitive development, complementing her formal training in clinical hypnotherapy. She works with clients locally in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and worldwide via Zoom, helping each person access the power of trance to create healing and transformation at the subconscious level.

Experience

As someone who watched a loved one struggle with chronic pain for decades, I became deeply aware of how the mind and body mirror one another—and how emotional stress can amplify physical symptoms. That experience led me to study the subconscious mind’s role in pain, perception, and healing, and to witness how the body can change when the brain’s protective patterns are rewired.

After completing my Diploma in Hypnotherapy at HMI, I continued advanced training in pain management, neuroplastic pain education, and mind-body healing approaches for chronic pain and functional neurological disorders (FND). I integrate these evidence-based methods with intuitive and energy-based tools to address the full spectrum of the human experience—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

My work helps clients release the subconscious patterns driving chronic stress and pain, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of safety and connection within the body. Whether the focus is relief from physical symptoms or a deeper sense of purpose and spiritual alignment, I hold a grounded and compassionate space for healing and transformation at the subconscious level.
