What others are saying
"Michael has been my go-to for the last few years now. He's supported me through difficult life experiences (such as the death of loved ones) and incredible opportunities with my career and otherwise. He's also great for things like navigating the mental approach to your golf game. I'm a big believer in therapy, although I've found hypnotherapy to work best for coping and moving forward. I have friends I can talk with if I need validation or just need someone to listen. This method is about progressing with a new perspective/mindset and tools. Michael has helped me achieve what has taken months with traditional therapy in one or two sessions. And while I'm a huge fan of hypnotherapy, not all hypnotherapists are the same. Michael is really good. His approach is unique and effective, and he can help you tackle pretty much anything."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be physically present, or can sports hypnosis be done online?
Sports hypnosis works very well online. As long as you’re in a quiet, private space with reliable internet and a device with video/audio, you can receive the same mental performance training as in-person clients.
Should I do anything to prepare before a sports hypnosis session?
Yes. Have a clear performance goal or challenge you want to address (e.g., competition anxiety, focus, recovery). Avoid caffeine and large meals, and come rested and ready to engage with the mental process.
Is there a specific mental state or focus I need during the session?
No special skills are required. You’ll be guided into a focused, relaxed state using visualization and suggestion. You remain aware and in control throughout, even as your subconscious becomes more receptive to performance-enhancing cues.
How do I incorporate sports hypnosis into my regular training routine?
You’ll receive techniques you can practice between sessions—often including visualizations, breathwork, or mental scripting. These tools can be layered into warm-ups, cooldowns, or daily routines to strengthen your mental game consistently.
Can hypnosis be used for performance blocks related to injury or fear?
Yes. Sports hypnosis is often used to reframe fear, rebuild confidence post-injury, and reduce mental hesitation. Sessions help retrain the brain to respond with clarity and calm rather than past trauma or conditioned stress responses.
