Architecture is stressful: deadline-driven with high-stakes projects where a single mistake could cost thousands.
And then there are the exams (the average time to get licensed in the U.S. is 12.9 years!).
You got into architecture because you love design and have a passion for innovation.
But now?
You’re overwhelmed and working late into the night most weeknights wondering when work/life balance is going to happen.
Whether you’re struggling to pass your professional license exams, or struggling to enjoy your life after licensure, the key to both isn't convincing yourself that you are good at architecture.
You know what you’re doing already.
The key is: convincing yourself to relax.
The ability to handle stress, “build resilience”, or “get out of your head” is foundational so you can perform as well as you do when the pressure is on.
So now, it's time to shift your mindset:
"It’s not what you know, it’s how you think."
This is why self-hypnosis can be the missing piece to finally passing those exams, and performing in a high-stakes job without feeling stressed all the time.
Here’s what to expect when we meet: We see if we are a fit for each other.
This is where you and I can discuss your goal and any questions you may have about my process and working with me.
This is not a sales pitch, this is about finding out if we are a good fit for each other.
No strings attached.
I can help clients get licensed by helping them pass licensure exams with ease, and up-level their career while balancing work and life with a focus on the 8-pillars of what I call The Licensed LifeTM.
My services include customized collaborative coaching and self-hypnosis training for busy professionals who are struggling to manage all-the-things.
I believe that Relaxation is Rebellion and deep relaxation is a key part of a successful life.

Additional Services: As a Certified Medical Support Hypnotherapist I can help clients with pain management and other medical related goals such as accelerated healing and lowering anxiousness around medical procedures.

By combining my coaching, mentoring and hypnosis skills, I help clients design a life they love that is aligned with their values, not someone else's.
Working with busy professionals who are in high-pressure jobs in careers like architecture and design, and other deadline-driven careers such as engineering, accounting, law, and medical/nursing, who are struggling to find (or maintain) a life that rewards them both professionally and personally is my cup of tea.
Hypnosis worked (and continues to work) for me as a self-care tool. This is why I'm called to help people overcome their fears, stresses, and obstacles in life so they can live a life they love.
When we deeply relax through self-hypnosis, we learn to tap into our inner wisdom. This can lead us to a more compassionate and inspirational life.
This manifests in my key motto:
Relaxation is Rebellion.
Ask me how to join the revolution.
