With nearly two decades of experience in marketing and public relations sectors, I have collaborated with Fortune 500 companies and leading nonprofit organizations across the US. My journey as a mother of two children led me to explore hypnosis, when our pediatrician suggested we consider this adjunct therapy for my child diagnosed with ADD. Initially skeptical, I was intrigued by the shift towards holistic approaches.

The concept of the subconscious mind soon revealed its potential. We witnessed significant improvements in my child through hypnosis, complemented by conventional medical and educational support. With a background in Psychology (B.A. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville), I was intrigued and began learning everything I could from some of the world’s leading psychologists, nurse anesthetists and hypnosis instructors.

Today, as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, I specialize in mindset training, professional performance enhancement, sports hypnosis, and stress reduction. My passion for this field drives me to explore the transformative potential of hypnosis, and I am dedicated to ongoing education to enhance my practice. In my coaching programs, a variety of complementary techniques are integrated, including Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients achieve meaningful change.

Honkonen Hypnosis is forever dedicated to my son, who showed me the profound power of the subconscious mind — which I have humbly come to understand as a captivating blend of both science and mystery.
