For those who feel a little lost…trudging the same path…feeling as though going the wrong way –
or maybe it does feel like the right way, but like climbing Mount Everest… this is where I come in.

Within a beautifully restful studio in south Winnipeg, I lead clients through highly effective hypnosis sessions to open the mind and find the right path, crossing all hurdles life may throw along the way. I help create a pathway of positive action toward living your best life. Through hypnosis, you will learn to move beyond life challenges, and perceived limitations to heal, find peace, fulfillment and happiness in your life and relationships.

I have created many sessions, individually tailored to focus on a better sense of direction for personal issues. Through positive mindful meditation, my clients relax into a hypnotic journey of self-discovery to break away from unwanted habits and patterns that get in the way of positive change. Soothed by their own deeper thinking, my clients begin replacing negative thoughts with positive intentions for changing behavior, while developing healthy coping skills for improved relationships, wellness, stress-management and self-esteem. They begin processing trauma, grief, phobias, and anxiety while improving quality of life for themselves and everyone in their path.

Whatever your goal, I offer hypnotic direction that leads you along the right path.

In addition to her MHA training, she was certified in Clinical and Intuitive Hypnotherapy by Dr. Catherine Holmes in 2018 and completed Dolores Cannon’s QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) level I in 2019.

“I have long been interested in the study of the mind-body-spirit connection and throughout my research, the mind emerges as a powerful tool that can either aid or hinder us in the creation of health, happiness, and meaningful life. Hypnosis works with the natural properties of the mind to help dissolve blockages to optimal functioning and promote a sense of balance and wholeness. I am especially interested in the use of hypnotherapy in facilitating the process of inner transformation, unfoldment, and simply ‘coming into one’s own’. To this end, I utilize various approaches including past life regression and accessing the wisdom and guidance within.”

With a mission to help people do change better, Dan’s Culture Change Consulting is building with these tools to guide personal change, helping individuals reach their goals with hypnotherapy.

With a doctorate in Social Sciences and many years in senior leadership positions, he is a generalist practitioner with experience ranging from building inclusion, to mentorship, to defence and security- eclectic perspectives that build relatability and compassion towards all growth,
