Work With Me
Private sessions with Mark are individualized to meet your needs, goals, and circumstances. Rather than using a standardized program or a single method, Mark draws from more than 32 years of experience in hypnotherapy, coaching, spiritual counseling, meditation, nervous-system regulation, mind-body practices, and complementary approaches to personal change. You may come with a specific problem you would like help resolving, a health-related concern you are learning to live with, an unwanted habit or pattern, a major life transition, or simply the feeling that something in your life is ready to change. The work begins with where you are.

An Individualized Approach
No two people are exactly alike, and Mark does not believe their sessions should be either. Your sessions are shaped around what you are experiencing, what you hope to accomplish, and the approaches that are most appropriate and comfortable for you.
Depending upon your needs, sessions may draw from:
- Holistic hypnotherapy
- Life coaching and personal guidance
- Spiritual counseling
- Medical hypnosis and mind-body support
- Meditation and nervous-system regulation
- Guided imagery
- EFT and biofeedback
- Wellness and lifestyle support
Generic hypnosis scripts and rigid treatment formulas are not used. The content of your sessions evolves as your needs and progress evolve.

What a Session Is Like
Most private sessions are approximately 90 minutes. A typical appointment begins with time to talk about what you have been experiencing, what has changed since your previous session, and what feels most important to address. Mark may then introduce ideas, perspectives, exercises, or practical strategies relevant to your goals. When appropriate, the session may also include hypnotherapy, guided imagery, meditation, nervous-system regulation, coaching, or another complementary approach. Sessions conclude with time to integrate what was covered, ask questions, and identify anything you may want to practice or explore between appointments. The emphasis is not on getting through a predetermined amount of material. It is on giving the session enough space to be useful and complete.
Individual Sessions or a Series of Sessions
Some concerns can be addressed effectively in a single appointment. Others benefit from several sessions and a more sustained process. You are not required to commit to a lengthy program before discovering whether the work is right for you.
Mark offers:
Individual Sessions
A single private appointment for a particular concern, decision, experience, or area of personal growth.
Four-Session Programs
For concerns that benefit from greater continuity, practice, and follow-through.
Six-Session Programs
For deeper work involving long-standing patterns, significant transitions, or goals that benefit from a more comprehensive process.
Mark can help you determine which option is most appropriate. Recommendations are based on your needs rather than on selling you a predetermined number of appointments.
