“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
As one of San Diego’s leading hypnotherapists and America’s #1 Mental Fitness Coach, clients often come to me complaining about their lack of motivation. This can be motivation in many areas, from earning more money to losing weight.
Some of these clients complain that they just “have” low motivation and they’ve had it much of their lives. Theses clients want to use Total Mind Therapy© to learn how to turn on their motivation. Other clients complain that they used to have high levels of motivation but they’ve lost it. These clients are seeking ways of increasing their motivation back to the levels they used to possess.
Using advanced hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) I help these clients shift their focus so that it starts to pull them in the direction they desire, toward motivation and success. I usually teach them a strategy that, if followed, quickly helps them shift their focus toward success.

“If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.” – John Wooden
For nearly a decade as America’s #1 Mental Fitness Coach I’ve helped hundreds of people shift their focus and take control of their lives. I’ve done this using advanced hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) or what I call Total Mind Therapy© in my San Diego office. Many of these people come to me because they say they feel inadequate. While everyone can feel inadequate every once in a while it’s when you continue to have that feeling of inadequacy that you begin to have a problem. Over long periods of time this can result in chronic stress and even depression.
Shift Your Focus on to What You Want

When clients come to me they often complain that they are stuck, they just can’t seem to get out of their comfort zone and accomplish whatever it is they’d like to accomplish. Using advanced hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) I can usually help them quickly break out of their comfort zone and get them back on the road to achievement.
The Six Blind Men and the Elephant
What I teach my clients is that in order to take control of your life you need to be able to quickly shift how you experience life. What does this mean? Let me tell you a story about six blind men that lived together in a village.
One day one of the children ran to tell them, “Hey, there is an elephant in the village.”

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
People ask me all the time how I have the energy to get so much done. Since I’m a health coach that uses advanced hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help people improve their health I hallucinate (imagine) that they often think that I’ll tell them “All you have to do is come to my office (located in San Diego), go through a few sessions and you’ll feel great.” As much as I’d like to believe that was true, there’s a lot more to it than that. Just like everything else in life, in order to obtain optimum health and energy, conscious effort needs to be involved.
How Do You Increase Your Energy?
With the way life is, and all that you have to do it can be very difficult to stay energized all day. As a result you may reach for different energy boosters to get you through the afternoon. After all, when so much is expected of you, it’s seems natural to use a variety of substances to keep yourself pumped up.

“If you want to succeed in the world must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.” – John B. Gough
Over the years I’ve talked with lots of clients and friends about how the powerful techniques of advanced hypnotherapy (hypnosis) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you live the life of your dreams. I find that many people have very interesting expectations of these therapies. Some people think that that all they have to do is go through a few sessions and then – whamo – their life changes overnight, magically, with no effort of their own.
Well for those of you that think that all you have to do is to go to a few hypnosis and/or NLP sessions to completely change your life I’m here to inform you that this just isn’t true. Although these therapies can be very powerful for shifting your focus, advanced hypnotherapy and NLP are not substitutes for preparing your mind – and therefore your life – for success. You have to do a little work by deciding on the type of life you want to live and the steps necessary to achieve them. While advanced hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you with this process it is no substitute for actually sitting down and using your conscious brain to decide what you’d like your life to be like.

People often ask me what I do. When I tell them that I am a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with an office in San Diego, they often ask, “What can hypnosis do for me? How can hypnosis or NLP help me?” Usually I tell them that hypnosis and NLP can help them make quick and significant shifts in their thinking.
What types of shifts? Hypnosis and NLP can help you overcome fears, pains, stresses and anxieties. They can help you break bad habits like smoking and develop good ones like exercising. They can help reduce the symptoms of some diseases. Hypnosis and NLP can help you think differently so that you can eliminate your mental blocks to success while encouraging you to take successful actions you may have avoided in the past.
In short, hypnosis can help catapult you into living the life you desire!

1. Set your goal.
