The change your mind
has been waiting for
Conscious effort takes you so far. Hypnotherapy works at the layer beneath — where beliefs, patterns, and protective responses were first installed.

Not sleep. Not magic.
The subconscious, directly.
Hypnotherapy is a focused, relaxed state in which the critical, analytical mind steps back — making it possible to work directly with the subconscious where our deepest patterns live. You remain aware and in control throughout.
Unlike talk therapy, which addresses thoughts and behaviours at the surface, hypnotherapy reaches the layer where a pattern was originally formed. That's why it can shift things in a few sessions that years of insight work hasn't been able to move.
At Rio de Ki, hypnotherapy is woven into a somatic framework — combining subconscious repatterning with body-based work so the change registers not just in the mind, but in the nervous system.
Some things thinking harder doesn't fix
If you've done the work — therapy, journalling, mindfulness — and still find yourself cycling through the same reactions, hypnotherapy may reach what those tools haven't.
- Anxiety that returns no matter what you try
- People-pleasing and difficulty with boundaries
- Phobias and fear responses that feel irrational
- Perfectionism, procrastination, self-sabotage
- Sleep disruption and nervous system dysregulation
- Chronic pain with a psychosomatic component
- Grief, loss, and emotional processing
- Patterns you can see clearly but can't seem to stop
Somatic hypnotherapy
— not just the mind
Rio's hypnotherapy integrates NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), body-based awareness, and classic hypnotic technique. It doesn't just rescript the mind — it invites the body into the shift.
Root assessment
A thorough intake to understand the pattern, when it formed, and what the subconscious has been trying to protect you from. This shapes every technique used.
Subconscious repatterning
Guided induction into a focused, receptive state. Direct suggestion, NLP reframing, and parts work to update the original imprint at its source.
Somatic integration
Body-based awareness to anchor the new pattern in the nervous system — so the shift registers somatically, not just cognitively.
Certified in hypnosis & NLP — now training in Counselling Hypnotherapy
I've been working as a somatic therapist, bioenergetic educator, and naturotherapist for 17 years. My practice draws on craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, reiki, reflexology, and NLP to support the nervous system and the body in releasing what it's been holding.
Hypnosis and NLP are already central to my practice — woven into somatic sessions whenever the body's work surfaces a pattern that needs to be met at the subconscious level. I'm now deepening that foundation through a formal Counselling Hypnotherapy program, which will allow me to offer hypnotherapy as a dedicated, standalone modality.
My clients are often highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or LGBTQIA+. I work in a trauma-informed, inclusive space in La Petite-Patrie, Montréal.
Standalone sessions coming soon
Hypnosis is already part of somatic sessions
You don't have to wait. Hypnosis and NLP are woven into Rio's somatic therapy sessions — accessed whenever the body's signals suggest the subconscious layer needs to be included.
If you'd like to begin working at both the somatic and subconscious level now, a somatic therapy session is the place to start. Dedicated hypnotherapy sessions will follow once certification is complete.
