HI, I'M MARY
I know what it's like
to know exactly
what to do — and
still feel stuck.
Long before I became a hypnotist, I was using every tool I knew to calm the anxiety, build my confidence, and change the patterns that kept holding me back.
I had no idea the thing that would transform my life would eventually become the work I do today.

LET'S BE REAL
You probably don't need more information.
You have Google, ChatGPT, and Siri at your fingertips.
You likely already know what to do intellectually.
You know what it means to eat better, focus more, speak up, calm down, follow through, stop procrastinating, trust yourself, perform at your best.
Yet, something still gets in the way.
It’s not because you lack drive or haven’t tried hard enough.
It’s because you carry years—maybe decades—of patterns.
Patterns that once made sense, but no longer serve you now.
And those patterns live in your unconscious mind, a place that logic and willpower can’t reach.
That's where hypnosis comes in.
HOW I FOUND WHAT WORKS
The long way around taught me the fast track.
I never set out to become a hypnotist.
I arrived here the same way I’ve learned to make most meaningful decisions in my life and business:
by paying attention to results.
In 2023, after nine months of debilitating TMJ pain, countless appointments, and thousands spent searching for relief, I tried hypnosis. One session changed something that nothing else had.
And it wouldn’t be the last time.
I began using hypnosis in other areas of my life, too. I had gone from a teenager with severe social anxiety to speaking in front of hundreds. I used self-hypnosis through a major hip surgery and recovery.
I began using it for sleep, stress, performance, anxiety and the everyday patterns that used to take far more effort to manage.
Eventually, I stopped being surprised and started paying attention.
I wanted to understand why this worked—and how to use it skillfully to help other people create meaningful change, too.
That curiosity became years of training, study, and practice. And ultimately, the work I do today.
WHAT SHAPES MY WORK
I’ve been studying performance
for over two decades.
Since I was sixteen, I've been fascinated by what helps people perform at their best and what gets in the way when the pressure is on. John Wooden was my first teacher.
I experienced it first as an athlete. Then as an educator. Then as an entrepreneur building businesses of my own. Each chapter taught me something different about confidence, resilience, learning, motivation, and change.
My work has continued to evolve through years of coaching, hypnosis training, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and deep dives into nervous system regulation.
Each arena has given me a different lens for understanding why we do what we do and what helps create meaningful change.
I don’t believe there’s one perfect tool for every person or every problem. Sometimes we’re working with a belief. Sometimes it’s an automatic response. Sometimes there’s a part of you that has a very good reason for holding on to an old pattern. And sometimes you simply need to rehearse a different way of responding until it begins to feel natural.
That’s why my sessions are highly individualized.
I listen closely, follow what emerges, and draw from the tools and training that make the most sense for you.
