About Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a recognized form of therapy by the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. Doctors, Health Link B.C.,
among other Global Health Organizations. Hypnosis has been used for a long as records have been kept.
Modern clinical hypnosis is dated from the late 1700s, and the use of hypnotherapy has grown by leaps and bounds since 1958 "
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to treat physical or psychological conditions.
It's a form of therapy that uses relaxation, extreme concentration, and intense attention, to achieve a heightened state of consciousness or mindfulness.
This form of therapy utilizes one’s mind to help reduce or alleviate a variety of issues, such as psychological distress, phobias, fear, and unhealthy, destructive, or dangerous habits.
The aim of hypnotherapy is to create a positive change in an individual, while they are in a state of deep relaxation.
You must be willing to focus your attention and follow the suggestions of the therapist to allow hypnotherapy to work.
In some cases hypnotherapy is combined with cognitive therapy or other relaxation and behavioral techniques.
How effective is Hypnotherapy?
Very effective! In a study conducted by clinical psychologist Dr Alfred Barrios (B.S. Caltech, PhD. UCLA), he notes that “… for psychoanalysis we can expect a recovery rate of 38% after approximately 600 sessions. For [Behaviour] therapy, we can expect a recovery rate of 72% after an average of 22 sessions, and for hypnotherapy, we can expect a recovery rate of 93% after an average of 6 sessions.”

About Nature Therapy
Nature Therapy, also known as Forest Therapy, Forest Bathing, & Shinrin Yoku, is a form of therapy that takes you out into nature to become one with it, as we were meant to be.
We have been conditioned, indoctrinated if you will, to exist in cities, with concrete buildings, busy streets, wifi/emf radiation, riding in cars, and hurrying about, eating food like substances, and becoming more unhealthy than at any other time in history.
"This is not how humans thrive.
Existing is not Thriving.
We are nature. We are meant to be one with nature." ~ SHINE
Nature Therapy isn't simply walking in the woods. You will immerse your senses in the atmosphere of Nature for relaxation and positive health and wellness benefits. You will learn how real food creates health and wellness, in both body and mind.
As we strengthen our connection with the natural world, our sense of beauty, wonder, awe and curiosity is restored and our brains and nervous system are calmed. Stress levels are lowered and the immune system is boosted.
Nature Therapy is underpinned by mindfulness principals, encouraging the opening of the senses to Natures atmosphere, slowly walking through Nature, inhaling the fresh air, and fostering an emotional connection to the landscape.
Moments of grounding will be practiced, and that is where one touches the earth and connects with it, while relaxing and gaining a true calmness.
In Nature Therapy, the Therapist works in partnership with Nature to enhance nature connection, thus encouraging reciprocity between people and nature. It is grounded in the practice of sensory connection and immersing the senses in Nature and aims to enhance social connections and increase social capital to aid inclusiveness.
In this way, Nature Therapy can act as an adjunct to standard treatment and rehabilitation for specific illnesses.
Nature therapy creates a restorative power.
