What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes hypnosis as a means to help individuals with a variety of issues, including managing psychological and emotional problems, changing behavioral patterns, and addressing certain physical or medical conditions. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and deep relaxation. During hypnotherapy sessions, a trained hypnotherapist collaborates with you to induce this state to facilitate positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Divya Zuccaro
Certified Hypnotherapist
"In 1997 when I was certified for Relax With Yoga in the Integral Yoga tradition, I had only a hint of how genuine joy would pervade my life. Since then, I've been privileged to lead tens of thousands of yoga classes. I am the conceiver, co-creator, and happy proliferator of the Meditation Sampler program, and I feel especially fortunate to offer meditation guidance for women with cancer. I’d call myself an optimistic realist, meaning I am acutely aware that life is not all roses, but I have personally experienced the support and deep healing that results from one’s frame (or reframe) of mind. The state of mind is where possibilities are born. Inspired by the centering effects of yoga and meditation, I sought a way to invite these benefits to folks who might never sign up for a yoga class. Hypnotherapy would do exactly that and more! From 2015 onward, I have earned certifications for various methods of hypnotherapy, and I continue to expand my repertoire. Your vibrancy and whole-wellness are our shared purpose."
What Our Clients Say
H.S.
“I was totally skeptical coming in. Even a little resistant. But I had the best session ever. I keep waiting for “the catch”. Like, how could this have possibly worked within an hour– something that I’ve been carrying around, in and out of therapy, for years? But now, two months later, I still feel free of my burden. Before I left, I took a bunch of Divya’s business cards. I have a few friends who could really use her help!”
