Jane Hernandez, CCHT
Clinical Hypnotherapy, EFT
(Emotional Freedom Techniques),
Reiki, Energy Healing
For the first part of her life, Jane was a film and video producer in New York and San Francisco. While the work was creative and engaging, she felt that something essential was missing. When she allowed herself to open to new paths, it became clear that what she was seeking was energy healing through Hypnotherapy and EFT.
Jane was initially attracted to Hypnotherapy through a personal event in which she was able to transform a negative belief to a positive action. She had found herself in a trough of procrastination and negative thought and was totally stuck. But after 6 hypnosis sessions everything changed for her. Up until then, hypnotherapy had been merely a curiosity. Now she knew that the subconscious mind is the most powerful source of what we believe and, thus, how we behave.
