Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions About RTT®, Hypnotherapy & Coaching

What happens in a session?

Every journey begins with a free consultation, a compassionate 45-minute conversation where we explore what you want to change, what you’re struggling with, and how best I can support you. There’s no pressure just clarity and insight into your next step.

In an RTT® session itself, you are gently guided into a calm, focused state where your subconscious mind becomes receptive.

Together we:

* Identify the underlying root cause of beliefs or pattern connected to what you’re experiencing.

* Help your subconscious mind see how that pattern developed.

* Update it with clarity, compassion, and present-day awareness.

As outdated beliefs shift, emotional patterns naturally soften or release, opening space for ease, confidence, and stability.

* After the session, you receive a personalized transformational audio recording to use daily for at least 21 days. This supports deep integration and lasting change.

How does RTT® help heal past experiences or trauma?

RTT® doesn’t ask you to relive the past it helps your subconscious mind recognize that you are no longer in that situation and that the beliefs formed then no longer apply. This allows old emotional charge to release and new, empowering beliefs to take hold.

Because RTT® is about resolution, not replay, you move forward from a place of strength and grounded identity not old pain.

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation similar to daydreaming or being deeply absorbed in a book or movie. You remain fully aware, in control, and able to speak or stop at any time. You’re never unconscious or out of control, and the process is designed to be supportive and safe for emotional work.

What does hypnosis feel like?

Most clients describe it as calm, deep relaxation with mental clarity rather than unconsciousness.

It’s often compared to:

* A deeply peaceful meditation

* The moments just before falling asleep

* Being fully relaxed while mentally present

Hypnosis is a resource state, not a loss of control.

How many sessions do people usually need?

Many clients experience meaningful transformation in 1–3 RTT® sessions, typically spaced about 21 days apart. Some concerns shift quickly; others may benefit from multiple sessions.

Some choose continued support to address additional areas like confidence, relationships, or emotional patterns.

Is this done online or in person?

All sessions are conducted online via Zoom, offering you privacy and comfort while receiving the same depth and effectiveness as in-person care.

What issues can RTT® help with?

RTT® supports a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and mindset challenges, including:

Anxiety & stress

Confidence & self-worth

Emotional blocks

Relationship patterns

Habits & behavioral shifts
…and many more

The list is not exhaustive. If you don’t see your concern listed, there’s a strong likelihood it can still be addressed in RTT®. We’ll explore your unique situation during your free consultation.

How RTT® Works & What It’s Used For

How does RTT® work?

RTT® achieves breakthroughs by going beyond surface-level symptoms and addressing the root cause the belief or pattern formed at the origin of the issue. This gives it the power to create profound, lasting change that sticks because the subconscious no longer drives you from outdated programming.

I use techniques designed to communicate directly with the subconscious mind so that old patterns can be released and replaced with empowering ones. This allows your mind to operate in a more positive, confident, and internally aligned way.

What is RTT® used for?

RTT® is a versatile, solution-focused approach that can address:

Emotional blocks

Confidence issues

Anxiety

Habit patterns

Relationship challenges

Behavioral concerns

Weight & self-image patterns

Life transitions

And more

By addressing why a pattern exists not just how it shows up RTT® creates lasting change rather than temporary relief.

Is RTT® Hypnotherapy?

RTT® incorporates hypnotherapy but goes further.

Hypnotherapy focuses on suggestion and reframing in a relaxed state.

RTT® uses purposeful subconscious exploration to understand how and why a belief formed, clear it, and replace it with empowering beliefs.

It’s root-cause transformation rather than symptom management.

How is RTT® different from other therapies?

Unlike traditional talk therapies, which may take months or years to create change, RTT® is structured for efficiency and depth. It doesn’t rely solely on positive reinforcement; it identifies, resolves, and replaces limiting beliefs at their source, the subconscious mind so transformation is real, embodied, and lasting.

What is the difference between RTT® and NLP?

While both help communicate with the subconscious mind, RTT® goes a deeper by identifying and resolving root causes rather than simply improving communication or awareness. Once underlying blocks are cleared, positive reinforcement becomes highly effective, allowing lasting shift.

Results, How Long Will it Take to See Results.

How long does RTT® take to work?

Every person is unique, but many clients experience meaningful shifts immediately after a single RTT® session. It’s common to feel a noticeable change in how your mind responds emotionally, mentally, and subconsciously right away.

For others, change continues to unfold over the days and weeks that follow as the subconscious mind begins operating from new beliefs. Most clients complete their work within one to three sessions, depending on their goals and the complexity of the pattern being addressed.

RTT works by resolving the issue at the root cause, which is why change often feels fast, clear, and relieving, rather than gradual or effort-based.

What Happens After the Session?

After your RTT® session, you’ll listen daily to a personalized transformational recording for 21 days. This supports your subconscious as it reinforces the new beliefs created during the session.

Some clients feel an immediate internal shift and simply notice life responding differently around them. Others experience changes more gradually over days or weeks as their nervous system and subconscious recalibrate.

Both experiences are normal and both lead to lasting change.

Many clients choose to continue listening to their recording beyond 21 days, not because they need to, but because it feels supportive, grounding, and empowering.

Are the Results Lasting? Does Change Continue Over Time?

Yes. One of the most powerful aspects of RTT® is that change often continues well beyond the session itself.

Clients frequently report that:

* Old emotional reactions no longer show up the same way

* They respond to situations with more calm, clarity, and confidence

* Challenges that once felt heavy feel neutral or manageable

* Areas of life they didn’t come in to work on begin improving as well

Because RTT works at the level of belief and perception, many clients experience positive ripple effects across multiple areas of life. Over time, they often realize they are approaching life from a fundamentally different internal perspective.

Even clients who don’t immediately notice dramatic change are often surprised when they pause, reflect, and recognize how much has shifted in how they think, feel, and move through their lives.

This is not about managing symptoms.

It’s about resolving the root cause so change feels natural, lasting, and self-sustaining.

Hypnotherapy & RTT® Differences

What is the difference between hypnotherapy and RTT®?

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and suggestion to create change over multiple sessions.

RTT® blends hypnosis with purposeful root-cause exploration, addressing why beliefs formed and releasing them directly.

This makes RTT® faster, deeper, and often more transformative than traditional hypnotherapy approaches.

Coaching with RTT®: What You Need to Know

What Is Coaching with RTT®?

Coaching with RTT® is an extended support option designed to help clients fully live from the subconscious changes created during their RTT session.

RTT® resolves the issue at the root.

Coaching helps you apply, stabilize, and build momentum from that shift in real life.

This combination allows transformation to continue beyond the session, not by revisiting the past, but by moving forward with clarity and confidence.

Is Coaching with RTT® Required?

No. RTT® is powerful on its own, and many clients experience lasting change without additional coaching.

Coaching is optional and designed for clients who want extra accountability, guidance, and support as they fully embody their RTT® results. It is not necessary to experience meaningful, lasting transformation.

Regardless of whether you choose coaching, RTT® clients receive follow-up support to ensure their success:

* 1 day after the session – quick check-in to answer questions and confirm comfort with the process

* 7 - 10 days after the session – support for early shifts and adjustments

* 21 days after the session – review of progress, troubleshooting, and discussion of any next steps

These follow-ups are supportive check-ins, not coaching calls, and ensure that clients feel guided and confident as they implement their new beliefs.

How Does Coaching Support RTT® Results?

Coaching supports RTT® by helping you:

* Stay consistent with listening to your personalized recording

* Recognize and reinforce new thought and behavior patterns

* Navigate challenges from your updated subconscious state

* Catch old habits before they resurface

* Strengthen confidence, clarity, and emotional regulation

* RTT® removes internal resistance.
* Coaching helps you move forward without recreating it.

Can Coaching Reveal Other Areas to Work On?

Yes — and this is one of its greatest benefits.

As clients begin living from new beliefs, they often gain clarity around:

* Additional subconscious patterns ready to be released

* New goals or desires that weren’t visible before

* Areas that may benefit from another RTT® or hypnotherapy session

Coaching creates space for awareness without pressure, allowing next steps to emerge naturally.

Does Coaching Mean Revisiting the Same Issue?

No.

Coaching does not mean rehashing the same problem or reliving past experiences.

It is forward-focused and grounded in who you are now, after the subconscious shift has occurred.

The work is about:

* Living from the change

* Strengthening new identity-level beliefs

* Making aligned decisions with greater ease

Who Is Coaching with RTT® Best For?

Coaching with RTT® is ideal for clients who:

* Want ongoing support as they embody change

* Appreciate accountability and reflection

You’ll be supported during the session, and guidance is provided for managing any feelings that come up afterward in a grounded, empowering way.

Booking & Practical Questions

How do I schedule a session?

You can book your free consultation directly through the website.

Calls last about 45 minutes.

This call helps us understand your goals, explore how RTT® or hypnotherapy fits your needs, and set the best path forward and set appointments together that work with your schedule.

What technology do I need for online sessions?

A stable internet connection and a quiet, private space are all you need. Sessions are conveniently held via Zoom.

What should I do to prepare?

Your environment matters.

Your session must take place in a completely private, uninterrupted space.

Please ensure the following before your session begins:

* Choose a quiet room with the door fully closed

* No other people in the room or nearby

* No pets in the room or entering during the session

* Silence all phones, notifications, and devices

* Let anyone you live with know you are not to be interrupted

* Use headphones if possible for deeper focus

* Sit or lean back comfortably where you won’t need to move

* Put a sign on your room door or home door to not interrupt

These sessions work at the subconscious level. Even brief interruptions can pull you out of the process and reduce the effectiveness of the work.

Creating a protected, distraction-free space allows your mind to fully engage, relax, and integrate the transformation. This simple preparation supports deeper results, faster shifts, and a more powerful experience overall.
