Medical Hypnosis

Scientific research has shown that clinical hypnotherapy is an appropriate adjunct to conventional treatment. The results of using hypnosis as a therapeutic tool, to eliminate pain and accelerate healing, are so remarkable that many hospitals, physicians, dentists, and other health care practitioners are now recommending the use of hypnosis in adjunction to medical care.

During your initial visit, we will discuss how the mind works on a conscious and subconscious level. Then we will discuss the myths and misconceptions about hypnosis so that you will have a clear understanding of what hypnosis is and is not, and what it can and cannot do for you.

We will talk about the goals you want to achieve and the changes you want to make in your life. Then we will review the different types of hypnosis methods. Before your sessions, we will agree upon the modalities that will be used. Some of the different therapeutic modalities are neuro-linguistic programming, regression, basic suggestion therapy, advanced suggestion therapy, and core transformation.

Relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome 

Hi, my name is Nathan, I'm married and have three wonderful daughters.  I am a driver by trade and I love my job.  Thirteen years ago I was diagnosed with colitis.  From that I developed IBS as well, Irritable Bowel Syndrome.  As I get nervous or for me knowing I am going to be away from a bathroom made daily activities very, very difficult, like if my wife needed me to take the girls to school in the morning they were always late, that for me was the IBS.  Staying home other than going to work when I was well enough to work had become a way of life.  I used to be a spontaneous person, but not for a long time now.  Being fed up with my health and western medicine I was able to greatly reduce the affects of my colitis symptoms with other means of healing.  This was a year ago.  However the IBS just would not get any better.  I've been hearing more things about medical hypnosis so research some more with an open mind I did.  I was very interested in the results.  So I looked it up here locally and found Mindy Ash.  I called and set up an appointment.  Mindy Ash can best explain what she has to offer you.  All I can tell you is what Mindy has done for me.  She has given me my life back, my ability to function in life like a normal person went from 10% to now 98%.   I practice what I have learned every day.  Mindy, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Accelerated Healing

Hypnosis and visualization, or guided imagery, can help boost the immune system, increasing overall wellness and recovering more quickly.

In August of 2007 I had what would be called "corrective violence". Surgery that left me with a big cut from my pelvic bone up to just below my belly button and in a tremendous amount of pain. Gratefully someone recommended using hypnosis. I spoke on the phone the day after my surgery with Mindy Ash, a clinical hypnotherapist. Mindy's voice is a calming presence and through the use of hypnosis Mindy was able to help me build my own sanctuary, and transport me to a place where my entire body and mind felt much more comfortable and at peace. Hypnosis is an amazingly wonderful thing, and in the hands of a good hypnotherapist it can perform "seeming" miracles. Thank you Mindy!

Pain Management

Many people find hypnosis can be helpful in minimizing and relieving pain, because hypnosis is a natural alternative to pain medication. The relaxed state of hypnosis helps eliminate the fear and anxiety that sometimes accompanies chronic pain.

Cancer

Hypnosis and visualization, or guided imagery, can help boost your immune system.  Additionally, hypnosis can help relieve the nausea and exhaustion associated with chemotherapy.

As a Christian with late stage cancer I understand how one might be hesitant to use medical hypnosis. But Mindy is very respectful of what you tell her and tailors each session, as well as the custom CD’s she makes to your needs. I was past the point of being able to control my pain through medication that would still allow me to drive and function. A few weeks after working with Mindy, I have reduced my medications. I have a much better control over the pain breakthroughs and my whole attitude has shifted back to being able to enjoy the time I do have left. And best of all, I can pray again, something that the pain was getting in the way of.
