Hypnotherapy can help you to break through the cycle of unhealthy patterns that hinders a healthy relationship in the present. Our Joymind Hypnotherapy reframes negative thoughts and behavior at the subconscious level so that you can stop smoking, heal, attract, and enjoy a new healthy life.

Hypnotherapy is a heightened state of concentration and focused attention. Guided by a Joymind hypnotherapist, hypnosis allows you to be more open to suggestions to making healthy changes to your perceptions, sensations, emotions, memories, thoughts or behaviors.

This happens in 3 steps

• Your conscious mind is quieted.
• Now you’re able to tap into the part of your brain where your thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, sensations, emotions, memory and behaviors originate. These are the root causes of your current condition and often the cause of your cravings.
• Once in a relaxed state of mind, you’re more open to guidance from your hypnotherapist. This helps you modify an/or replace the unconscious behavior and thoughts that are driving your current behavior.

Smoking is a behavioral control issue and our Hypnotherapists help you see what the unconscious forces are—the root causes that have caused the bad and repetitive behavior.

In a 2020 study, researchers monitored the effects of hypnotherapy in a clinically-supervised weight loss program. After 10 weeks, the results showed that BMI and leptin levels (a hormone associated with obesity) decreased significantly, whereas irisin and adiponectin levels (a hormone your body needs to protect you against obesity and type II diabetes) increased significantly.
