Sheila G. is a compassionate and highly intuitive clinical hypnotherapist with a deep belief in the subconscious mind’s power to heal, re-pattern, and restore wholeness. Sheila blends a powerful mix of therapeutic modalities—hypnotherapy, NLP, therapeutic imagery, ideomotor signaling, and somatic-based interventions—to help clients gently unwind anxious behaviors, emotional blocks, and chronic patterns rooted in trauma or life transitions. She brings a lifetime of lived experience, a commitment to professional growth, and a heartfelt mission to guide others toward joyful, empowered living. Sheila specializes in anxiety relief, somatic healing, menopausal transition, and emotional resilience, and her sessions are known for creating safe, emotionally intelligent spaces where transformation becomes possible.
Special Interests:
Sheila’s work is deeply attuned to the emotional lives of high-functioning women navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or physiological changes like menopause. She is especially passionate about helping women reclaim their agency and voice after years of internalized stress, fear, or relationship wounds. Sheila also loves working with athletes of all ages—particularly surfers, due to her own connection to the sport—guiding them through performance anxiety, mental focus, and emotional regulation. Her clients range from college students with social anxiety to older men who have silently struggled for decades with anxious habits or emotional suppression. She thrives in guiding those who are highly motivated for change but need gentle, structured support to get there.
Approach:
Sheila’s approach is grounded in the belief that people are always doing their best with the tools they’ve been given. Drawing from the teachings of Milton Erickson, Dr. David Spiegel, and her AOS training in Body-Mind Psychology, she believes that the subconscious holds not just the source of the problem—but the solution. Her method begins by calming the nervous system and building ego strength before diving into deeper work. From there, she uses customized techniques like imagery, desensitization, and breath-focused somatic attunement to help clients reconnect to their internal resources. With a developing integration of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and continued studies in clinical psychology, Sheila’s sessions are informed by a holistic, client-led philosophy. Her own transformative experience quitting smoking through hypnotherapy anchors her passion and confidence in this modality. Clients often describe her sessions as nurturing, focused, and remarkably effective—blending science, intuition, and care.
