I have been working in the area of Mind/ body medicine since 1999 as a Certified Hypnotherapist and now maintain a private practice in Victoria BC. As a full time Hypnotherapist I have  worked with clients on a variety of issues including pain management, post traumatic stress disorder, weight reduction, smoking cessation, fears and phobias, anxiety disorders, insomnia, fertility and birthing, and stress . I hold speciality certification in the areas of Holistic Hypnoanalysis, Metaphysical Counseling, Forensic Hypnosis, Pain Management and Hypnobirthing.

Recognizing the need for quality education in the field of Hypnotherapy, I combined my degree in Education and my passion for Hypnotherapy to open a Hypnotherapy School, the Horizon Center, in 2004. Since that time, I have provided quality hands-on training in Hypnotherapy offering small, intimate class sizes, meaningful demonstrations, interactive class formats and informative and inspiring curriculum. The Horizon Center has been recognized by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association for Excellence in Hypnotherapy training since it's conception.

I have been a  frequent guest on the AM radio talk show "Talk It Over” with host Terry Spence, having appeared over 50 times to date to discuss various aspects and applications of hypnotherapy. I have also appeared on CFUV 101.9 Fm, the University Of Victoria Radio program and have twice been featured on The Daily Show (Shaw TV). Recently I appeared as a special guest on The Zone 91.3 where I helped morning show radio host, Jason Lamb kick his smoking habit with on-air smoking cessation sessions.

An informative and energetic guest speaker, I have spoken for a number of groups including The Cowichan Hospice Society, the Certified Dental Assistants Association, Healthy Schools, School District 61, St. Andrews School and the Global birth Institute.   I have presented on several occassions to Camosun College Psychology, Dental Assistant and Holistic Health students.
