Birth with hypnosis
It’s simply magical what you can achieve with hypnosis. I’m very excited to see what else it can be used for. The possibilities seem endless!
This is an original statement (slightly adapted) from a client who was absolutely amazed at what can be achieved with hypnosis.

Gentle birth - Beautiful births are not only in the movies...
The special moment of birth: moments that will last forever
Can you imagine the moment when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time? The day of birth is full of magic, full of anticipation, but also full of uncertainty. The night before, you may lie awake and ask yourself all the questions that every expectant mother knows: “What will the moment be like when I see my baby? How will the birth go? Will I be able to bear the pain? How will I feel?” You may feel this quiet fear, but also a great feeling of hope and love.
And then the time has finally come. The day of birth arrives. You take a deep breath and realize that you are ready. Your body knows what to do – you just have to trust it. Maybe you’re nervous, maybe you’re full of anticipation. But you are not alone. You’ve done everything you can over the last few months to prepare for this day and now you can let go and let nature take its course.
Birth preparation with hypnosis: the path to a gentle birth
But it doesn’t always feel so easy. You may be afraid of the pain, complications or simply the unknown. These worries are normal – but they don’t have to define your birth experience. The Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing gives you the opportunity to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for your birth. With hypnosis, you can learn to stay calm and composed in every moment, relieve pain and experience birth as the wonderful experience it can be.
Imagine yourself slipping deeper and deeper into relaxation with each wave of contractions. You feel the strength of your body, and each contraction brings you a little closer to your baby. You breathe deeply and calmly, and instead of letting yourself be guided by fear, you can concentrate fully on the positive feelings. Hypnosis has helped you to develop trust in your body, and now you are experiencing the birth with an inner peace that you might not have thought possible.
The first moments after the birth: a moment for eternity
And then, after all the effort and emotions, the time has come. Your baby is born. You hold it in your arms for the first time, feel the warmth of its body and hear its first breath. This moment is unique and incomparable. The world around you seems to stand still and all that matters is this little person you have been carrying for nine months. You are flooded with relief, joy and love – and you know that it was all worth it.
Why hypnosis for birth preparation?
The scientific results speak for themselves: studies show that hypnosis can make childbirth easier, relieve anxiety and reduce pain. Hypnosis enables you to stay in control during the birth – not because you are fighting, but because you are letting go. You accept the process, leave your fears behind and focus on the essentials: The connection to your baby and the beauty of this unique moment.
Hypnosis helps you to experience birth without fear and full of confidence. It prepares you not only physically, but above all mentally and emotionally to experience this day as powerful and peaceful.
Your next step: prepare yourself for an unforgettable birth
You may already feel a little reassured by this idea. Perhaps you feel that a gentle, easy birth is possible – even for you. With the Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing you have the opportunity to learn this calmness and serenity and work towards a gentle birth.
Are you ready to let go of your fears and look forward to your birth with new self-confidence? Then book your free preliminary talk now. Together we will look at how we can tackle your individual wishes and challenges so that your birth becomes the magical experience you want it to be.
I look forward to accompanying you on this special journey!
Please note:
It is important that you discuss everything with your treating gynecologist / midwife etc. before your first appointment with me and clarify whether it is okay for you to receive hypnosis for birth preparation. (A contraindication is, for example, a high-risk pregnancy)
-> Hypnosis does NOT replace a visit to the gynecologist, midwife, birth preparation course, etc.

Hey, I am Larissa
Coach for humans and animals
Hypnotist, quantum worker, animal communicator and coach for humans and animals.
I love non-fiction and specialist books, as well as psychology and spirituality.
I think that every child should have a carefree childhood. I want to support families (especially children and animals) to rediscover their own resources (which are in each of us) and thus enable a free and carefree life.
I have been interested in hypnosis etc. since the age of 12 and have therefore read a lot about it in books, listened to podcasts and watched videos. Even in languages that I don’t even come close to understanding. So I decided back in 2015 that I wanted to help (especially families and animals).
What makes me unique
Continuous further training in various areas
Both subject-specific and non-subject-specific
Individual, goal-oriented work and no schema F or simply reading off scripts
In terms of age, I can understand children even better than someone who has been out of school for over 40 years
I work across disciplines and combine different approaches for maximum results
(hypnosis and animal communication, hypnosis and quantum work, quantum work and animal communication etc.)
I have enjoyed many comprehensive and high-quality training courses
I always want to find the best solution for you individually
I have specialized in families (with fur noses), surrogate work for animals and sport hypnosis and therefore don’t do everything.
For example, I don’t do quit smoking and / or weight loss…!
I have experienced hypnosis and quantum work for myself and am in a constant process of development and am continuously working on myself (also with the help of hypnosis, quantum work etc.) in order to be able to support you in the best possible way

Video from the creator of the Simpson Protocol
If you can’t watch the video right now, here is what Ines says in the video: „Hi, I’m Ines Simpson. Creator of the Simpson Protocol. And I just wanted to explain something to you about the practitioner that’s on this website. Is a very proficient example of Simpson Protocol expert. Because they’re what we call a certified Simpson Protocol practitioner. Which means that they have taken the course. Not just taken the course. They have mentored with me to make sure they got absolute experts. So consider that hypnosis is a tool. And hypnosis is something we use to allow you to get attached to your parts of your mind that are not your conscious mind. So the whole part of you. Including what we call the superconscious. Which is the part of you that knows everything about yourself and how to change what you need to change or want to change. So certified practitioner of Simpson Protocol knows every aspect of this tool. So you are in great hands. As we say they’re experts in this field.”

What is hypnosis?
Definition:
- Relaxation

- More control than without hypnosis
Terms:
- Suggestion => offer (suggestion)
- Word „sleep“ => Command for the brain, to act like asleep
Other:
- Even science hastn’t managed to find a definition
- Hypnosis is nevertheless an approved method
How does hypnosis work?
Most of the time very good! 😉
Just kidding!
So, we use the neuroplasticity of our brain and create a change by using a cognitive restructuring through hypnosis, e.g. through guided imagery 😉
You can find out exactly what that means, when you click on the button below for the long version.
Hypnosis session process
- Contact / booking an appointment
- (Admission interview) Admission form
- Preliminary discussion
- Induction
- Work
- Exduction
- Follow-up discussion / explanation
- (Follow-up session)
Prejudices, myths, beliefs
To better understand the individual myths, read the respective texts in detail.
Hypnotic gaze (like Mowgli’s snake Ka from the Jungle Book):
Movies and TV… It doesn’t exist in real life. (But you can do an induction in a similar way -> mirror neurons are used)
Hypnosis necessarily requires a pendulum or a pocket watch:
Hypnosis also works without a pendulum or pocket watch (it is mostly used for show purposes to live up to the cliché, i.e. for fun)
Telling secrets:
If you would tell me without hypnosis, yes, otherwise not. You can also lie or deliberately conceal something in hypnosis.
Being without will:
No, you are always in control and with hypnosis even more so (by accessing your subconscious etc.)
Manipulation:
Nope, manipulation can be found in magic, physiotherapy, etc. Nothing is manipulated in hypnosis…
Being away:
You are not asleep or fainting, you just have your eyes closed and may feel (hypnosis feels different for everyone) a little different than usual (I can tell if you are really in hypnosis or just playing it… 😉)
No memory of what happened:
You can remember everything if you want (yes, there is the forgetting suggestion in show hypnosis, but it is always limited in time and the person allows it)
Getting stuck:
Self-selected state into which you have brought yourself (with the help and guidance of the hypnotist), therefore you could also end it yourself (interrupt focused attention) + In the entire history of hypnosis, no one has ever gotten stuck (if you want to know where this prejudice comes from, you can do that in the long part -> just scroll down)
Hypnosis is magic or supernatural:
No, it is not. It is neither magic nor something supernatural. It has been scientifically examined and proven several times that it can help.
Occultism:
Hypnosis also has nothing to do with the occultism. This assumption comes from the portrayal of hypnosis in films and television. However, this often does not correspond to reality.
Under hypnosis:
You are not UNDER hypnosis, but IN hypnosis. Under = NO control (you have even more control with hypnosis than without) and in = in a relaxation (you don’t say I’m under a relaxation)
Hypnosis is dangerous:
How dangerous is communication? Hypnosis is just as “dangerous” as communication… However, if you have no idea what you are doing, then hypnosis can be “dangerous”.
Evoking false memories:
Yes, it is possible, but this is only the case if you are poorly trained and don’t know what to look for when asking questions. Incidentally, I learned in my trainings which questions to ask and how etc.
Only weak / easily influenced people can be hypnotised:
No, that is not the case. In principle, anyone who wants to can be hypnotised. However, there are also contraindications that speak against hypnosis.
PS: If you do not want to do something, please tell me (also during hypnosis), this is the only way I can react.
Montessori and hypnosis
“Help me to help myself.”; “Help me to do it myself.”
This is the motto of Montessori education. This could just as well be the motto for working with hypnosis. Why?
- You always help yourself
- The solution is already within you (in the client)
- As a hypnotist, I am the “tour guide”, so to speak
- Hypnosis is only the supporting tool for the change
- I’ll give you the help you need to be able to solve your problems yourself
Show hypnosis vs. change hypnosis
Hypnosis is basically hypnosis. Difference: What happens and what is done
Show hypnosis:
- Pure entertainment
- The people on stage are willing to do things that they would not otherwise do
Change hypnosis:
- Working on problems
- Always being treated with respect
- Without spectators (only client and hypnotist)
- Only do things that you want to do (and are good for you and NOT for entertainment)
- Do not do embarrassing things or ” tell secrets ” (unless you would also tell the secrets without hypnosis, in which case hypnosis acts as a catalyst)
Brief overview of Simpson Protocol Hypnosis
What is Simpson Protocol
Please read the long text (you can find this on the page; click on the button below the text), thank you!
- A holistic hypnosis method
- Working with the conscious, subconscious, mind and spirit through the superconscious mind
- Working with the superconscious mind instead of the subconscious mind
- Superconscious mind knows everything (but does not always respond to everything if you as the client block it)
- Comparable to Akashic records, divine consciousness, morphogenetic field or collective unconscious / subconscious according to Carl Gustav Jung
- Works on a spiritual, mental and spiritual level (and even beyond)
The Simpson Protocol is “like walking through a labyrinth, guided only by the flickering light of your own inner wisdom”
How does the Simpson Protocol work?
Usually very good! 😉
No, of course I’m only joking…
Please read the long text, thank you!
- Basic understanding of hypnosis necessary: How does hypnosis work?
- Comparable to a snow globe that you shake and the snowflakes fly around (you can read in detail what this means here)
- Work with the help of the superconscious instead of the subconscious
- Superconscious knows everything (but does not always respond to everything if you as the client block this)
- Comparable to Akashic Chronicle, divine consciousness, morphogenetic field or collective unconscious / subconscious according to Carl Gustav Jung
- Works on a spiritual, mental and spiritual level (and even above and beyond that)
The Simpson Protocol is “like wandering through a labyrinth, guided only by the flickering light of your own inner wisdom”.
Simpson Protocol Process
- The more you think about everything, the worse the session becomes
- It’s about feeling and not thinking
- The basic procedure is the same as for a “normal” hypnosis session
- Nevertheless, there are a few differences (adaptations e.g. to the Simpson Protocol)
Preliminary talk:
- Normal, as usual
- With “adapted” addition (but this is also the case with the different techniques in “normal” hypnosis)
Induction:
- Normal, as usual
- Exception: Follow-up session -> code words (from the first session, if the superconscious has allowed the code words to be programmed in)
Work:
- Simpson Protocol Process
- Parking the consciousness in a nice place
- “Handing over” the arm / hand to the superconscious (you are still in control, you just get a nice little extra support)
- Installation of the finger signals (one finger is for yes and one is for no -> the superconscious determines which one is which)
- Second session: this part is already done, so we skip the parking of the consciousness, the installation process of the finger signals etc.
- Actual work (working on the goal)
Exduction:
- Normal, as usual
- Mostly emergence from hypnosis by “instruction” to emerge yourself
Advantages and uniquenesses Simpson Protocol
Advantages:
- Fast
- Flexible
- Efficient
- Holistic
- Less work for clients
- Less exhausting than “conventional” techniques
- Always the right goal is adressed (which is the most “acute” / present etc.)
- By working with the superconscious, access to all relevant information
- Topic does not have to be said => no judgment of the client
- Most of the time tearless procedure
Uniqueness:
- Holistic procedure
- Working with the mind and soul, as well as the conscious, subconscious and superconscious mind
- Only the goal needs to be clear, the problem does not need to be defined
- Klient does not have to (if he / she does not want to) talk about the matter
- Without judgment of the hypnotist towards the client
- Most of the time tear less / free
Foundational Birthing
- Gentle birth is not a myth, but a real possibility
- Millions of women worldwide experience gentle, simple, and easy births
- They do not know the opposite
Advantages:
- More relaxed birth preparation
- Pain-reduced birth possible
- The course of pregnancy can be positively supported by self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques
- Hypnosis can help to face birth with greater calm
- Childbirth can be experienced in a calmer and less fearful manner
- When the mother is relaxed, the child in the womb can also be relaxed
- Stress for the child can be minimized
- In many cases, childbirth can be significantly shortened
Study:
- The University of Tübingen and the Westphalian Institute for Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy conducted a study on this topic
- Childbirth lasted an average of two hours less for first-time mothers who were prepared with hypnosis than for the control group
- 80 percent of the control group reported having experienced “terribly severe pain” during childbirth
- In the hypnosis group, this figure was only 50 percent
- Study leader Helga Hüsken-Jansen is convinced that practice makes perfect
- Of course, completely pain-free childbirth cannot be guaranteed, and hypnosis is no substitute for a midwife, doctor, or other professionals (e.g., a doula or other birth attendants, etc.).
Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing:
- SPFB (Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing) is a program specially developed (by a midwife).
- It comprises a total of 5 sessions
- Special feature: Possibility of establishing a connection between mother and child and the communication that this enables
- (It sounds strange at first, but from experience I can say that the life of the child begins shortly after conception)
Note:
It is important that you discuss everything with your gynecologist / midwife etc. before your first appointment with me and clarify whether it is okay for you to receive hypnosis for birth preparation. (A contraindication is, for example, a high-risk pregnancy).
-> Hypnosis does not replace visits to the gynecologist, midwife, childbirth preparation classes, etc.
Q&A
Here you will find the most frequently asked questions and answers.
If your question is not listed here, you may find the answer on the Q&A page.
If you still cannot find the answer there, you are welcome to book an prelininary talk at any time. During this meeting, you can ask me any questions you may have. For those who are more introverted, there is of course also the option of sending me an email.
Can you make me…
Nope!… In fact, I can’t just make you… I can’t “heal” you either. If anyone can do that, it’s you. I can only guide you to do it yourself. You can find out what I mean by that here:
Important: I do not have a healing license and may not make any promises of healing.
If you think I can use hypnosis to make you do something against your will, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. You also won’t be revealing your debit card PIN or anything like that to me. You can find more myths and the “truth” behind them here:
Is hypnosis the right approach for me?
Yes, if:
- You are ready to change yourself and your life
- You *don’t* want to carry on as before
- You finally want to lead a free, self-determined and carefree life
- You take initiative for change
- You want support from me
- You see hypnosis as a tool to help you on your journey
- You are looking for support for your whole family (incl. animals) You want to follow my suggestions for action animals)
- You want to follow my suggestions for action
- You can concentrate for more than just a few minutes
- You are able to focus on what I say
- You believe (or allow yourself to believe) that hypnosis can help you
- You want to work with me on your goals
- You are not affected by a pathological intellectual disability, blindness or deafness
No, if:
- You do not fulfill the points just mentioned
Does hypnosis work?
Hypnosis can work if you want it to. If you think I’m going to do all the work for you, it won’t work. But if you want to achieve your goal and you’re willing to do your part, it will most likely work. (I can’t promise you that, though.)
If you want to know what my clients have to say about it, take a look here:
I have to believe that hypnosis works, in order for it to work, right?
No, you don’t have to believe that hypnosis works. You just have to allow it to work. As long as you are able and willing to follow my instructions, hypnosis will work. (Gravity is also there or works, even if you don’t believe in it). Hypnosis is a technical process, so you don’t have to believe in it, but it would help the process a lot.
What is the difference between the unconscious, subconscious, conscious and superconscious?
Unconscious:
- Controls bodily functions (e.g. heartbeat, digestion, blinking, etc.)
Subconscious:
- Emotions
- Feelings
- Long-term memory
- Refers to our “innermost”
- Personality
- Values
- Moral concepts
- Seat of the self-protection factor
Consciousness:
- Thinking
- Filtering of thoughts
- Conscious perception
- Mediator and filter between self and subconscious
- Works at the level of the mind
- Logical thinking
- Analytical thinking
- Rational thinking
- Willpower
- Short-term memory
- Seat of the critical factor (CF)
Superconscious:
- “Higher authority” which can “influence” everything
- Overview of everything that happens and has happened in life
- Comparable to Akashic Records, Morphogenetic Field, Divine Consciousness etc.
I am not hypnotisable!
Okay. Then I have a few questions for you, which you should answer spontaneously with yes or no (note or write down how many yeses and no’s you have), because you’ll find the answer below.
Questions:
- Can you sleep at night? Yes or no?
- Did you briefly not know where you were when you fell asleep and/or woke up? Yes or no?
- Do you sometimes daydream? Yes or no?
- Are you sometimes lost in thought? Yes or no?
- Do you sometimes watch movies and feel like you are in the middle of the action? Yes or no?
- Do you sometimes read novels, for example, and feel like you are in the middle of the action? Yes or no?
- Do you sometimes drive a car and after a few minutes no longer know whether you have really followed all the traffic rules and/or missed an exit? Yes or no?
- Can you listen to the other person during a conversation and maintain a dialog with them? Yes or no?
- At a party in a beer tent or at a party, can you concentrate only on the person who is talking to you and block out everything else around you? Yes or no?
How many questions did you answer yes to? If you answered yes to at least one of them (or more), you are most likely hypnotizable. In fact, 80-90% of all people are hypnotizable.
But there are also the 10-20% who are not hypnotizable. This is usually because they have a pathological reduction in intelligence.
The more intelligent a person is, the better they should (normally) be able to be hypnotized. People who do not go into hypnosis are usually either afraid of it or have misconceptions about hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a natural state that “occurs” several times a day (e.g. when reading an exciting book, driving a car, in the workflow, etc.)
Everyone reacts differently to hypnosis. Some need a little longer, others respond very quickly.
I am not a visual person so hypnosis doesn’t work on me, right?
You don’t have to see anything during hypnosis. Some people see images and some don’t. This is completely normal and fine.
If you are one of those people who can’t see anything during hypnosis, you can usually still describe what is going on, e.g. by hearing, tasting, feeling or intuitively knowing things. You may also get flashes. Everything is just right the way it is.
Hypnosis is only used by spiritual people, right?
No, because hypnosis is not spiritual, but a scientifically recognized method (since 2006).
There are even celebrities who use or have used hypnosis. Here are a few of them:
- Adele
- Ben Affleck
- Courteney Cox
- Drew Barrymore
- Matt Damon
- Charlize Theron
- etc.
What does hypnosis feel like?
- Everything coming from outside is no longer so important
- Concentration on the hypnotist and the here and now (what is happening right now)
- Possibly changed feeling -> feeling of lightness (like floating), feeling of heaviness (pleasant pressure on the body, e.g. under water) or feeling of “I have my eyes closed”
- May feel different from session to session and even within a session
How do I know I am hypnotised?
- Eyelid fluttering (from top to bottom)
- Eye movements (from left to right)
- More frequent swallowing, due to increased salivation
- Gurgling / rumbling in the stomach
- Altered breathing (deeper breathing, rapid breathing, regular definite exhalation)
- Wet hands
- Increased tearing (without crying)
- Hypnotic phenomena such as catalepsy etc.
- Etc.
PS: By the way, I can determine whether you are really in hypnosis or just playing the whole thing 😉.
Can I hypnotise myself?
Yes, indeed. You can also hypnotize yourself. In fact, all hypnosis (even if it is performed by an experienced and trained hypnotist) is self-hypnosis.
But you can also hypnotize yourself (without someone else). You already do this several times a day without even knowing it. If, for example, after driving a few kilometers you have already asked yourself whether you have really obeyed the traffic rules, you have already been in a trance. You are also in a trance when watching a movie or reading a book.
Apart from the fact that you are already unconsciously hypnotizing yourself several times a day, you can also do it consciously. With the help of code words, for example, which I can give you during hypnosis. I will be happy to explain to you exactly how the code words work after our hypnosis session. Simply bring up the subject before (or after) the session. It’s best to talk about it beforehand so that I can give you the code words that are right for you.
What should I look out for when searching for the right hypnotist for me?
First and foremost, you should make sure that the chemistry is right. So if something goes against your values, it will probably also affect the hypnosis, which is why it is / would probably be better to keep looking for someone who fits better.
One thing that can be a good indicator – though not necessarily so – is the price. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for,” and “If you buy cheap, you’ll end up buying twice.” Training is also an indicator. I know it’s usually hard to judge from the outside whether the training was really good, but a quick look at the certificates is usually enough. So pay attention to where, how, for how long, and using which methods or techniques the person was trained.
If you are not sure whether the person is right for you, then you usually have the option of arranging a preliminary talk / informational meeting etc. After that, you will probably be better able to decide whether it feels right for you or not.
I've tried hypnosis before (and it didn't work). Why should I trust you now, or give the whole thing another chance?
If you’ve actually been to a hypnosis session before and it didn’t produce the results you were hoping for, I’m sorry to hear that.
I understand your concerns. Without knowing the specifics, I can’t say for sure what went wrong, since there are many factors that can influence the success of a session. Even with the background information, it’s often difficult to pinpoint an exact reason. It’s always very individual, and sometimes you can’t even recall the details because it’s been too long, etc.
I’ll just list a few of the most common reasons here.
- Many hypnotists work purely with suggestion. That’s a good method, I won’t deny it, but sometimes a different approach is simply needed.
Through all my training ( certificates & certifications ), I’ve learned many different tools, experienced them firsthand, and of course applied them countless times. - It’s also possible that your original goal wasn’t addressed because there was another goal that needed to be tackled first or was more important at that moment.
- Maybe it just wasn’t the right time yet.
- Maybe it just takes a little time and close support.
- Every now and then, however, it also happens that there simply wasn’t a good rapport of trust, or that the person wasn’t the right fit for you.
I don’t mean to speak ill of anything or anyone here. I’m simply trying to provide a few points of reference so you can make a decision.
I’d be happy to answer any questions you still have during a free, no-obligation preliminary talk and to continue supporting you afterward, if it feels right and works for both of us.
Sometimes it’s just good to give things a second chance 😉
How long does a hypnosis session take?
This is always different. This depends on several factors, e.g.
- Which goal is to be achieved
- Whether there are other goals that influence the actual goal
- The complexity of the goal
- How big the goal is
- etc.
Sessions usually last between 30 and 210 minutes.
Children’s sessions usually last 20 – 90 minutes.
How many sessions will I need, and how long will it take to reach my goal?
This depends on many different factors, e.g:
- Which goal is being tackled
- How long this goal has been in place (but has not yet been achieved)
- Whether there are other goals that reinforce the actual goal (you don’t have to consciously know or be able to identify this)
- Whether you are really willing to change (or whether you think you don’t have to do anything for it => this is not the case, by the way, you “have” to be actively involved!)
- etc. pp.
I promise you that I will only do as many sessions with you as necessary.
Exactly how long it takes for your goal to be completely achieved depends on the factors I have just mentioned. In most cases, changes can be clearly seen after the third session. However, this varies from person to person.
If the Simpson Protocol is used, it may be that the necessary goals are tackled first and you may not notice the change at first.
It is best to ask or ask those around you to give you feedback if they notice changes that you have not yet noticed (as this can sometimes be a gradual process).
Can I do something wrong?
You can’t really do anything wrong during hypnosis. As long as you are ready for change and follow my suggestions for achieving your goals, we can achieve great things together.
The only thing you can do “wrong” is that you don’t prepare yourself properly (i.e. you don’t go through the information from the client area) and thus resist the change due to possibly false beliefs about hypnosis or other counterproductive influencing factors.
Please also read the point What should I pay attention to before and after my session? You will find further important information for you there.
Are there any contraindications associated with hypnosis?
Yes, there are contraindications. These are:
- Thrombosis
- Myocardial infarction
- Stroke
- Psychoses
=> The above are absolute contraindications
In my case, there are also non-absolute contraindications, which are all illnesses as defined by ICD-10 / 11 (in America better known as the DSM-5), since I do not have a healing license.
What should I look out for before and after my session?
It is best not to work on this day (if possible) or only do light work. Take time for yourself before and after the session. For example, go for a walk or do something else that is good for you. It is best to wear comfortable dark clothing (and if you like to wear make-up, it is best not to wear make-up). Don’t drink alcohol or take drugs. Caffeine can also be a hindrance. Don’t do anything that upsets you (e.g. your tax return or a horror movie etc.)
You will also be given everything you need to know in the client area. Please go through this completely before the session so that you are optimally prepared.
Yes, you can drive and attend appointments etc. after hypnosis. However, it is advisable not to do anything after hypnosis, as hypnosis can be exhausting. Rest afterwards and possibly even sleep.
It’s best not to mention the session just yet. Otherwise, other people might undermine your success (for example, because they’re jealous that you sought support and they don’t have the courage to do the same, etc.)
Observe what changes you (and your environment) can perceive and book a follow-up session (if necessary).
Am I allowed to move during hypnosis (e.g. scratching)?
Yes, you may move during hypnosis. You may scratch yourself or sit differently as long as I can see you (your head and hands) (and can still hear you).
If you need to go to the toilet during hypnosis, you can simply tell me and you can go to the toilet during hypnosis without any problems.
Am I a different person after the hypnosis?
Yes and no. I cannot and will not fundamentally “reprogram” you. But you can become a better version of yourself if you want to.
Is hypnosis possible for pregnant women?
Yes. Hypnosis is also possible in principle for pregnant women, but if you as a pregnant woman want to work on a goal in yourself that existed before the pregnancy (or that arose during the pregnancy but is not directly related to the pregnancy or birth, for example), I would advise you to wait until after the birth. There are several reasons for this. But it would be too much to list them here briefly.
Is hypnosis possible if I have a disability?
There is no general answer to this question. It depends on several factors.
For example:
- What disability is it?
- How does it affect him or her?
- Is the disability cognitive or physical? Or both?
- How long has it existed and how severe is it?
- Etc.
Hypnosis is more likely to be possible with a physical disability than with a cognitive impairment. If the person “only” sits in a wheelchair because he or she cannot walk, for example, but has no other limitations, there is usually nothing to prevent hypnosis (except perhaps the accessibility of the practice).
In the case of a cognitive disability, however, the situation is usually different. Here it also depends on the limitation etc. As long as the person is able to follow the hypnotist’s instructions and suggestions for action, there is usually nothing to prevent hypnosis.
However, it is always a case-by-case decision (even for people without disabilities) whether and if so, to what extent hypnosis can take place and whether it makes sense.
Furthermore, not every hypnotist has the confidence to work with someone who has a disability. This is not necessarily due to the competence of the hypnotist, but perhaps due to a lack of background knowledge about the disability in question or a lack of a healing license.
Is it possible to hypnotise animals?
Yes and no. If you shout very loudly at an animal, for example, it sometimes goes into a state of shock. This is only “comparable” to a hypnotic trance.
But just because you can’t hypnotize animals “directly” doesn’t mean that you can’t support them with the help of hypnosis. This is done through surrogate hypnosis for animals, through the Simpson protocol and with special questions.
With the Simpson Protocol, my fingers must move on their own „as if it is magic“, right?
No, your fingers do not have to move “as if by magic”. Some people feel a tingling sensation in the finger that provides the answer to the question. Some simply know which finger is the right one (and then consciously lift it) and others have nothing of the sort. This is perfectly fine and normal.
The important thing is that you get involved in the process and the session and that you have faith (in yourself, the process, your superconscious and in me). If your fingers move automatically, that’s great, but not a must. (With children, it can also be that they shake their heads for the no-answer or that the answer is given verbally).
Swapping fingers is also possible. However, the above is the exception rather than the rule.
Do I always have to wait for the whole question before I can give the answer?
No, you don’t have to wait until I have finished the question with yes or no. If you feel the answer beforehand, you can also give the answer beforehand.
Just make sure that I have also noticed that you have already given the answer by leaving the answer finder up until I have said thank you (or repeat the answer again).
Simpson Protocol Certified Practitioner (SP CP) vs. Simpson Protocol user
Simpson Protocol Certified Practitioner (SP CP; i.e. Simpson Protocol Certified User) is an additional qualification that can be achieved by completing additional further training with the SP and proving that you have a secure command of the SP, can use it correctly and act for the highest good of all, etc.
Simpson Protocol users have “only” completed the Simpson Protocol training.
PS: I am an SP CP 😉
What is the Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing? / Can hypnosis be used for “birth preparation”?
The Simpson Protocol Foundational Birthing (SPFB) is a special program developed by a midwife and used for “birth preparation.” The SPFB is designed to give you the tools you need to have the most self-determined and beautiful birth possible. So, yes, hypnosis can be used for “birth preparation.”
Please note:
It is important that you discuss everything with your treating gynecologist / midwife etc. before your first appointment with me and clarify whether it is okay for you to receive hypnosis for birth preparation. (A contraindication is, for example, a high-risk pregnancy)
-> Hypnosis does NOT replace a visit to the gynecologist, midwife, birth preparation course, etc.
