Description:

The subconscious mind is the most powerful tool when it comes to making meaningful change in our lives. This is where our deepest beliefs, wisdom, intuition, creativity, and patterns live, and it makes up 95-98% of the mind! When we make change at the subconscious level, it ripples out into the rest of our lives and we get to witness our reality transform around us. Using imagery, metaphor, guided relaxation, and visualization, we can communicate directly to the subconscious mind to move beyond limiting beliefs, heal old narratives, and rewire your brain in service of helping you embody the person you truly are, and the life you want to live. Hypnosis offers a pathway to rapid yet gentle change, and helps us remember that we are in the driver’s seat of our lives.

What to expect:

Each month we’ll focus on a specific theme to weave into the subconscious mind in service of your growth, healing, and evolution. You can expect to leave each session feeling expanded, relaxed, and reminded of your power.

Gatherings include:

• Journaling and self-reflection on the topic

• Group hypnosis journey co-created with the group

• Discussion and reflection

• Turning it into action and leaning into the shift

Hypnosis FAQs

What is it?

Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness when the critical mind is not in the driver’s seat, and we have easier access to the power of your unconscious mind. The unconscious makes up 95-98% of the mind. This is where your beliefs, wisdom, intuition, earliest programming, and creativity live. Through hypnosis, we can tap into the beautiful depths of your unconscious mind to move through blocks, rewrite narratives, and rewire your brain to help you live in alignment with your authenticity.

How does it work?

The brain doesn’t really know what’s real and what’s imagined. It’s why when you watch a scary movie, you’re scared even though you know it’s not real. Through hypnosis, we can show the subconscious mind a new movie, story, or scenario that’s in alignment with what you want. We can speak the language of the subconscious — emotions, imagery, and experience — and heal whatever is holding you back.  Along the way, we are also rewiring your brain by connecting new neural pathways that, through repetition, will get stronger until they become your new default.

Is it safe?

YES. A state of hypnosis is completely natural, and you can’t get stuck. It’s like the moment right before you wake up and fall asleep — awake but a little dreamy. You are in control the entire time and can never do anything that you don’t want to. Think of it as guided relaxation and visualization.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

Anyone can be hypnotized as long as you want to. While some people have an easier time dropping in than others, everyone is able to experience the benefits. Your conscious mind might still produce thought, and that’s ok! Everyone’s experience is different, but Kelsey suggests giving yourself permission to relax and let your imagination take over.

What are Kelsey’s qualifications?

Kelsey is a certified Theta Hypnosis Healer, Integrative Hypnotist, and Life Coach. She is not a licensed mental health counselor.

Testimonials

“I can’t recommend a hypno session with Kelsey enough! I had done some subconscious meditation work and hypnotherapy before, but nothing like this. Kelsey is such a gifted and intuitive practitioner. She created such a unique and spot-on visualization to help me build the life I am working towards. It was such a beautiful and affirming experience. I felt so safe and nurtured the entire time and I can’t wait to dive in for more. Even investing in one session with her will change your life.” – Anna

“Kelsey’s hypnosis techniques are incredible. As someone who has experienced hypnosis before and felt sort of ho hum about it, I can tell you THIS was different. I felt so safe, so held, and so perfectly guided through the experience. I don’t quite know where I went, but I came back feeling SO grounded, rested, rejuvenated, and as though every single cell of my being had been perfectly nourished with exactly what each needed. I will be back for more!” – Meghan

“Most have not heard of hypnotherapy. For anyone (likely everyone), who needs to calm their mind, focus on the now, and rid themselves of any self doubt their mind is telling them, I highly recommend you look into it. I came upon it by chance. I also came upon Kelsey by chance. Kelsey’s sessions are just what I needed to get back into the right mindset. Kelsey was able to incorporate what I shared during our session into two recordings for me. I felt a difference right after our first session and have continued to feel the benefits weeks after. I highly recommend those that are looking for a shift in themselves and their future to book a session with Kelsey!” – Sally

“Whether you need someone to remind you who you are or someone to draw out the parts of you that you did not know existed, Kelsey is perfectly equipped for the job. To learn to believe in yourself is a lifelong dance, and Kelsey is the best partner no matter the season of life you find yourself in. I am beyond grateful for the work her and I have done together and would do it all over again (and again and again). “ – Leah

Rewire & Restore: Somatic Healing for Stress & Well Being Monthly Circle w/Alisha Slaughter – December 10th

A monthly gathering to use the power of somatic healing to rewrite our inner narratives, rewire our brains, and remember our power.

INSTRUCTOR: Alisha Slaughter

DATES: Tuesdays Monthly

• December 10th

TIME: 7:15pm – 8:30pm

LOCATION: 3603 Portola Drive – Dance Studio

COST: $22 Drop In | Passes & memberships apply

DESCRIPTION:

Rewire and Restore: Somatic Healing for Stress and Well-being

It’s time to step out of your head and drop deeply into your body. True health begins with a balanced nervous system. Many of us are stuck in a constant state of stress, living in “fight or flight” mode. In this monthly circle, you’ll learn how to help your body shift from fight or flight into a state of safety, flow, and vitality.

Somatic healing is a body-centered approach that reprograms how your body responds to stress and trauma. Unlike talk therapy, which focuses on the mind, somatic healing acknowledges that you can’t always think your way out of a feeling. The body holds onto stress and unresolved emotions, and through somatic practices, you can release these blocks, regulate your nervous system, and create lasting change. Grounded in Polyvagal Theory, this offering will help you understand how your autonomic nervous system influences your health, and teach you somatic practices to shift from a state of stress or shutdown to one of safety, connection, and well-being. This work helps you rewire your body’s responses, leading to a greater sense of calm, balance, and presence.

Join Alisha Slaughter for a transformative experience designed to help you reconnect with your body, reduce stress, and cultivate deep mind-body healing. Each month, she’ll introduce a new somatic healing technique to empower you to live more fully in your body. These practices will guide you to tap into your body’s inherent wisdom, helping you trust and listen to your inner guidance.

This class is for anyone who:

• Feels stressed, overwhelmed, or trapped in a constant state of fight-or-flight

• Aims to heal from chronic stress and reconnect with their body on a deeper level

• Seeks to enhance balance, vitality, and overall well-being through somatic practices

• Desires to integrate somatic healing into their daily yoga or wellness routine

• Is curious about how somatic healing and nervous system regulation can transform their health

• Longs for a supportive and nurturing space dedicated to holistic well-being

• Each session blends the science and practical applications of nervous system regulation, providing tools that support lasting health and well-being.

• Stop searching outside yourself for answers. Tune into the truth within and experience the power of somatic healing in a supportive and connected community.

Client Testimonials & Feedback

“In the beginning of this year I developed some food sensitivities and it was very overwhelming. I tried all the things, and nothing was helping. Then I contacted Alisha. Alisha is so knowledgeable about food sensitivity and had really customized strategies for me to use. It helped me figure out my food sensitivities and what may be causing all my gut inflammation. She listened to my health issues and tailor made a plan of foods, supplements, and tests that can help with my gut health. I felt like through our conversation we developed a very good obtainable action plan together. Her plans for me were more than just the food I was eating. It included breathing work, exercise, and stretching. Alisha has so much valuable information and she really helped me get my gut health back on track. Thank you, Alisha!!”
