Welcome Wisdom seekers
My name is Nina
I am a Truama informed, neurodiversity celebrating, clinical hypnosis practioner.
We are many things in the course of our lives. For almost a decade I have worked as a mentor, educator, and communication therapist. I hold a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology, and this work has taught me to use the concepts of neuroplasticity and storytelling to improve communication, self-advocacy, and therapeutic outcomes for my students and clients. I truly believe in the power of imagination and that the stories we tell ourselves are the narrative backbone of our existence. The ideas we hold about our purpose, our skills, our struggles and traumas, are all teachers in this life.
When I began to expand my skills into hypnosis, it was a truly natural progression from my clinical work and my heart absolutely resonated with the change I experienced in my own life, as well as the change I saw in others. I realized that for many years on my own path to healing, my conscious mind knew my desires and goals, but my subconscious was not aligned with attaining them. My subconscious was still resonating with the habits of thought that I was not able to reach and restructure through traditional therapy and coaching. These modalities were helpful, but they did not always reach the depths of my mind that held my narrative, the deeper wisdom that formed my truth. The story that defined my life included years of relational abuse and the anger and resentment that persisted even after the relationship had long ended. My story resonated on neglect from an addicted parent, struggles with depression, and never feeling “good enough” no matter what I accomplished or attained in life. The healing modalities I engaged with all brought temporary relief from my depression and self-doubt, but as soon as the external validation from my teachers was gone, I returned to my patterns of self-doubt. Unconsciously, I was choosing abandonment, abandoning myself, my dreams, my goals, and ultimately my purpose.
Then hypnosis came into my life. I started to become curious about hypnosis several years before finding a teacher I connected with and a program that would give me the depth and skill to be the practitioner I desired to be. I listened to meditations online, studied psychic meditation and energy healing, and cultivated mindfulness practices which I also taught to my students. With the help of my teacher and hypnotist, I further developed a new narrative of self-actualization. Armed with a new way of thinking about myself and my role in the world, I began to rewrite my story, aligning with my conscious desires and changing my subconscious thought patterns for good. The change seemed to happen without any effort. I listened to my hypnosis recordings, I cultivated the skill of entering trance, I began to write unique and original scripts, and without much conscious thought at all, my life began to change.
Within months of beginning hypnosis, I sold my house and bought my dream property with my husband where we are starting a homestead and food forest, a goal we have dreamed about for over 4 years. I left a profession that I thought was my dream job but in reality, left me taking on the concerns and criticism of others, zapped my energy and made me feel tethered to a windowless room 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I had immense anxiety about leaving, but with the help of hypnosis, I quit and transitioned to a job that allowed me more freedom, flexibility, and enabled me to make the same salary working fewer days a week. Once my subconscious was on the same page with my desires, the change seemed to happen magically.
Through all this change, I reconnected with a dream that I had held since I was a child, the desire to use my voice to create powerful change and healing in the lives of others. As a child I was always fascinated by storytellers and myth, ancient tales that spoke to the heart of the human experience. As a hypnotist and trance weaver, I deeply believe that you are the hero of your own story, and thus have the power to rewrite your journey and find the Wild Wisdom within. Whatever path you are on, whatever your personal journey, it would truly be my honor to support you along the way.
