Bring a pillow, if you like, and bring a goal for your life success!
A limiting belief is like a dead rat under the carpet.
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
What’s a metaphor? It’s a story with a meaning, on multiple levels. What’s great about the unconscious mind is that it reads all meanings.
I had a client come in the other day. She had a dead rat under the carpet. It reeked. So bad! The whole room had this unpleasant aura about it, and those who entered found it unpleasant and wanted to escape. She had tried vacuuming the carpet. And things would look somewhat nicer. But the dead rat would still be there. She had even tried shampooing the carpet. And things would smell a little fresher. For a while. But the rat would still be there. And all that reek would return.
You might call it negative energy. Negative thinking. Self-critical, self-flagellating. Self-sabotage in business and relationships and personal goals. Failure after failure. In short, and in her words: “My life is sh**.”
The dead rat was an idea in her mind, which I call a “limiting belief.” A belief of “I’m unworthy” was stinking up her life. How ridiculous. And how false. And how unnecessary. And no one forced that rat under the carpet and let it fester for a lifetime, she did that. By now it was very ripe and rancid.
What needs doing? Remove the rat.
So, we did.
And now, her life is going to improve moment by moment, day by day. She’s going to have a life of more joy, and success, and love, and power of all varieties. She doesn’t know (yet) how big this change is for her. I know.
Because I’ve done this same work to remove limiting beliefs with multiple people before. A limiting belief is the “big bad” in the mind, and once it’s gone, so much positive energy flows into a life. And positive outcomes.
How do we do that? Remove a limiting belief? That’s the power of skilled and creative NLP. We can change anything. My preferred method of making this happen is my creation, a trademarked service: Designer Beliefs®.
Other therapies out there want to find the rat—which is good, but then they do nothing to remove it! Instead, they analyze, discuss and debate. Meanwhile, the stench remains. My way is quicker and more effective. We don’t discuss a problem, we end it. That’s NLP.
As I’m getting older here, I’m becoming more and more aware: life is short. And it’s meant to be an adventure of love, joy, fun, freedom, gratitude, laughter, and so on. Don’t waste it.
Would you like a side of pure positive energy, healing energy, with your hypnosis? We can do that! At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP we have a variety of tools for a variety of clients and life goals. Reiki is one of those tools we offer. Hypnosis and reiki– like chocolate and peanut butter, two great things that go great together!
Here’s another of my brief videos explaining aspects of the mind, how hypnosis works, and how rapid change happens. This video is about how FEELINGS move us, more than thinking/knowledge. For example, people know HOW to lose weight, they just don’t do it. If they were sufficiently passionate and motivated and serious about healthy, it would be easy to lose weight. I know, because I have, and I am.
People may KNOW that a fear is irrational, but thinking doesn’t erase fear. Like my old spider phobia I used to have! I knew how it originated. That knowledge did nothing for me. Knowledge doesn’t hold the key to change. A new feeling replacing fear does. How about calm, clear-thinking, confident (the three C’s). Those would be a good new feeling. And a new feeling leads to a new way of doing and acting.
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is control of feelings. That simple. We can construct and attach new feelings to moments of our lives and change anything we want.
People say to me “It sounds good, but how do I know it works?” Come experience it yourself. The proof is in the FEELING! And enjoying new behaviors. And reading over 300 testimonials of my NLP and hypnosis success on my website and 3rd party review sites.
Find out more any time! I do offer a consultation meeting to any and all wanting to know about their own power of mind and how they could have a better life.
Hypnosis in a box! What would it be like to sit back, get comfy, and listen to a sensory enhanced hypnosis session, in the comfort and privacy of your own space, on your own terms? And find your habits and patterns changing. It’s cool. An inexpensive taste of hypnotherapy. Of course, nothing beats one on one with a skilled therapist customizing for you with a full tool kit including Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Learn more about our hypnosis-in-a-box products here: http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net/products/ You can buy these HYPNOSIS CDs HERE.
If you try it out, please let me know your successes. I always love to hear! Last report, a student of mine gave the stop smoking CD to his dad 3 years ago… And I just heard the dad used it, and QUIT SMOKING. He’s been quit for the past 3 years. The student also reported his own choice of CD, the CONFIDENCE one, helped him through a tough job interview. He got the job!
I love my good feedback. As I tell my hypnosis and NLP clients, when they win, I win. And, in my office and in my school, we are very much in it to win it. Some hypnotists go into this type of work thinking it’s an easy buck. (It’s not.) I do this work because I love it. It’s my art! It’s stimulating, challenging, and oh so rewarding when my clients get their successful outcomes.
Brian Jacob, of Seattle, Washington got his results. He quit smoking in one session of Neuro Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. After 15 years of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, he has quit.
He wrote me a 5-star review on third party business review sites Google and YELP. I love his success and, with his permission, I’m sharing his words:
“I have been smoking one pack a day for the past 15 years. I tried to quit so many times but it never worked. There was always something that pushed me right back to it. One session with Connie… That’s right… One session!… And I was smoke free! I still don’t know how she did it, but now every time I think about cigarettes I am like : “Oh no!”.
I left my cigarettes and my lighter at her office when I left and never had to buy cigarettes since then.
Some advice if you want to quit smoking and are considering using Connie’s Services: Do not think of hypnosis based on what you’ve seen on TV. It is not a joke. Just be super open and play Connie’s game. I feel like the fact I was so open to her and treated hypnosis so seriously truly helped Connie to do the right work with me right away.
Hypnosis made me demonize cigarettes, yes. But the nicotine craving was still there for a couple of weeks. I used patches and I was done after 3 weeks of using them less and less every day. I didn’t need anything after that… I was cured.
Let’s be honest, being hypnotized is kind of a bucket list item. There is something fascinating about it. If it does not work for you (Which I truly doubt), at least you can say: I did it!
Anyway, let Connie guide you, she is FANTASTIC and I am so grateful I get to work with her. Smoking sucks!”
As I told Jacob, HE made this happen. Anyone can create any desired outcome for themselves. WITH the right tools skillfully and artfully used. I’m a Licensed Trainer of NLP®. NLP is what he calls “Connie’s game.” It is fun. And it’s a game that Jacob won. Goodbye to cigarettes and smoking, and hello to a healthier (and longer) life.
What’s it worth to you to successfully take control of your life and habits? Habits don’t control us unless we allow them to. We can control them, end habits, create new habits. If you want fast change, do what works. Skilled, ethical hypnotherapy and NLP. Call me, and I’m happy to meet with you and explain this work. It’s different. And powerful.
I know we live in stressful times, with the current political shenanigans, dark winter days, school shooters, stock market declines, and so on. Ad infinitum! Wouldn’t it be nice to kick back, relax, and regain a sense of calm, balance and perspective? You can. Check out my Stress Management Program audio hypnosis CD.
Nothing beats one on one skilled hypnotherapy and NLP for successful life changes including stress release, however I understand that it’s also fun to play with DIY–Do It Yourself. That’s why they call it “self help!”
To help in my own way, I’m offering a special price break for the next 4 weeks on my “Stress Management Program” CD. Suggestions include deep relaxation, increased personal satisfaction, life balance, improved productivity, and more. Here are the details, below:

Sometimes, the mind allows change to tippy toe in, and it unfolds slow and steady. And sometimes, the mind agrees to instant change: “OK, let’s do it!” Boom! Successful change is dramatic and far reaching. Patricia F., of Seattle, WA had the fast version of success after we spoke with her unconscious mind.
She had ONE session, that’s it, a single 2 hour session of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy with me at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP some weeks ago. We worked on improving confidence and self esteem. Here is her report:
“Hi Connie! My positive attitude has attracted so many positive things and people since the day you changed my life. I’m doing very well. From the day I left your office, I feel brand new.
I feel so confident. I start conversations with strangers, which is something I couldn’t do before. I was so negative, even when people complimented me, I’d respond negatively. I’ve made so many friends, more than I had in years. Wherever I go, I feel like the center of attention. I have actually lost weight since our session (24 lbs to be exact). I believe with all the changes people are seeing in me, I will be sending people your way.
You are and will always be someone I highly regard. Even though you don’t hear it, you probably feel it in your heart, that I thank you on a daily basis and consider you a blessing in my life! I love you Connie!” –Patricia F, Seattle, WA.
Wow, as they say!
We didn’t work on weight loss, and yet, she’s lost 24 pounds. We didn’t work on social confidence in particular, and yet, that has grown. Just goes to show, when you feel good about yourself, life changes all around you.
I could tell you how I help people get the biggest bang for their buck in terms of positive change fast, but that would be revealing my trademarked secrets. Take my trainings at career school, Mindworks NLP (http://www.seattlenlptraining.com) and you’ll get some insights. Suffice it to say, I found the lynch-pin holding negativity in her life. A limiting belief. We removed it. Took all of 1/2 hour. We didn’t discuss it, or analyze it, we just removed it. This was an interactive process, and then we cemented in the changes via hypnotherapy.
I love to get letters like the one today from Patricia. Made my day. She is a ray of positive energy, of sunshine, and she was all along. All the negativity and self criticism she was experiencing before was a mistake, an aberration, and had no place in such a lovely lady.

I love to hear from my clients of their ongoing success after our NLP and hypnosis work together. Erin H. of Seattle sent me an update today.
“I’m doing really well. I’m sleeping much better and feeling more relaxed.” — Erin H., Seattle, WA
Short and sweet and to the point. Yay!
Those two things go together, by the way. Feeling more relaxed and sleeping better. We don’t JUST work on sleep and insomnia, we work on whatever was getting in the way of good sleep. It might be pain. It might be stress. It might be an overactive mind that won’t shut off. In Erin’s case and many others, it was stress. We took out stress, here comes relaxed, and here, also, comes improved sleeping. Like dominoes!
If pain is affecting your sleep patterns, hypnosis can help. (I help with pain management in general, too.) If stress is affecting you in a negative way, be it sleep issues or stress EATING, or fingernail biting, or what have you, hypnosis can help! Whatever’s bothering you and making life less than, let’s work it and change it!
I’ve made a new video, which I’m sharing below! 🙂 My goal is to spread the word about the power of hypnosis to improve life. I’m enjoying that, an improved life through hypnosis. I want you to, too.
Hypnosis is misunderstood in the world as something dark and strange. WRONG! Here’s what it really is: a fun, pleasant mind space where your wildly creative unconscious mind is free and unfettered to create change without the limitations of the day to day thinking mind. It’s inspiration. It’s intuition. It’s gut knowing. It’s open choice and possibilities of new ways of being: joy, confidence, motivation, energy. I love hypnosis.
These videos are fun for me. I select images (and buy them for my business use) that speak to me of the power of hypnosis. Then I string them together with short, easy explanations. A picture encodes so much information, more than words. Look at the picture of the girl crouching, huddling, unhappy. And look at who she really is, the shadow on the wall. She’s amazing, she’s powerful, she’s resourceful, she’s strong. And she can accomplish things. That powerful one is you, with the help of hypnosis.
It’s time for hypnosis!
This is a good time for change. Call me and I’ll be happy to meet with you in a free 1/2 hour consultation meeting and explain this wonderful thing called unconscious mind and how we tap into it.
PS: *When I say, Seattle Hypnosis Friends, of course I mean Greater Seattle, all the environs of this great metropolis we live in. Where I was born, Seattle, and where I grew up, Mercer Island. Where I have my office, Bellevue. And beyond
Do you know who said that? “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” One smart cookie, Albert Einstein, that’s who!
He also said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Clearly, Albert had the mind of a hypnotist! These ideas are the core and essence of hypnotherapy.
Change your thinking, and you change your life! Unconscious mind is our playground at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, because the unconscious mind is the seat of our habits and behaviors and beliefs. And, in this realm, imagination is King.
When you think you cannot do or achieve something, that is what I call a “limiting belief.” You know those little monsters that got chomped up in PacMan? Well, that’s how I approach limiting beliefs in my Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy work. They’ve got to go!
“I can’t do it.” “I’m not good enough.” “I’m not smart enough.” “I don’t deserve it.” What if all that was absolute baloney, and yes, you can, and yes, you do? Another truism of my life, and my work: what you think, you become.
Hypnosis (when done right by creative people) helps you see beyond and imagine and believe in success. That change in thinking leads to change in doing and being. It works! Who are you not, that’s happy and successful? Let me help you become that person. Call us at 425-564-8608 and arrange your free private in-office consultation.
“Connie Brannan, you cured me of my fear of flying 4 years ago! Now I jetset all by myself and I’m completely fine! You changed my life!!!! I cannot say enough good things about you!” – Kristen Halley, Bothell, WA.
I love to hear, that years after our work, the positive changes are holding and growing. That’s our intent, and that’s our results! Yay, Kirsten! Enjoy your travels and your freedom to hop a plane at SeaTac or anywhere!
If irrational and unnecessary fear is a “thing,” in your life, it doesn’t have to be. Remove it. The right tool kit in the right hands can make it happen. Call me, and learn how. Fear can be attached to anything, public speaking, spiders, flying, helium balloons, record stores, dentists, etc. And it can be UNattached.
I love to touch base with my clients and hear that they’re continuing to do well. As a Design Human Engineer®, one of my own creations is a technique to install a perpetual positive changes machine in a client’s mind. We create it. We install it. We activate it. The purpose: to expand and support success long term. Well beyond our session times in office.
Sue M, of Bellevue, WA, is letting me know months later that all is still going well with the work we’ve done to remove stress and anxiety.
“Hi Connie, I’m doing much better. I think you do a wonderful job. Continue doing it. I always tell people about you whenever I get a chance. Thank you!” – Sue M., Bellevue, WA.
I love to hear it! 🙂
How nice that the unconscious mind loves calm, and confidence, and everything else powerful. And will continue to seek out more joy and success in life. If creatively asked to do so.
Learn more anytime about my services, which include a blend of modalities, including NLP,, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnotherapy (direct and indirect), and DHE®, reiki, Matrix Energetics, and more. Call me at 425-564-8608, and claim your free consult!

Another happy client! I’m pleased to share another report of successful life changes. Patti N, of Maple Valley, WA. came in to address a lifelong issue with sleep. She had three sessions of Neuro Linguistic Programming with hypnotherapy. Here’s her report:
“I have made great internal changes from the time I have spent with Connie Brannan. I am so grateful for all I’ve learned in several different areas of my life, but most importantly my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. I’ve struggled with sleep issues since my childhood and with Connie’s help in just a few sessions, can now “put those issues to rest”. Literally.
Connie is caring, positive, skilled and knowledgeable. She makes you feel welcome, comfortable and emotionally safe from the moment you step into her office. She has a wide variety of tools to help overcome the conscious negative self and it’s unhealthy perspective and attitudes and build new pathways in your subconscious to bring about positive changes in your life. I highly recommend her.” – Patti N., Maple Valley, WA
You see, we don’t just tackle one problem. We tackle whatever creates the problem. And then we un-create it! In this case, sleep issues were driven by anxiety. Anxiety was driven by negative thinking and ideas Patti had about self. We changed ALL. She feels better about herself now, anxiety leaves, and sleep improves. All at the same time. This is our goal always at Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP, and our current success with Patti.
It’s the same with any unwanted and/or destructive behavior. As I like to say, we “go big or go home” with positive changes. People get so much more than they bargain for when they come to work with me. For example, we won’t just stop your fingernail biting. We’ll end your anxiety. No brag, just fact.
If you have some changes to make, my blend of Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy, plus other tools I incorporate (Designer Feelings®, Designer Beliefs®, reiki energy work, parts therapy, timeline work, and more) is a powerful blend to help. Find out more anytime. Call me! 425-564-8608, and I’m happy to set up a consultation meeting with you.
Yay! Another award! For the 7th consecutive year, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP has been awarded “Best of Bellevue” in the category of weight loss and control program.
I’m Connie and I bring my personal expertise with this issue (I had a life long weight problem before I solved it with hypnosis) to my client work. I KNOW the ins and outs of weight gain and weight loss and healthy choices and unhealthy choices. I guide people to healthy.
In the video below, I share my “before” and “after” hypnosis for weight management photos. Dramatic changes!
Hypnosis is an amazing tool to help. NLP is a high tech supercharged hypnosis. In my office, we use both to get you to your healthy body and lifestyle. Learn more anytime. We do offer a free in office consultation. Claim yours today!
Did you know that hypnosis is described by a prominent scientific journal as: “The most effective way of giving up smoking” (New Scientist, issue #1845, October 31, 1992, p 6). This was the conclusion reached after reviewing some 600 studies totaling nearly 72,000 people.
To find the most effective way to give up smoking, researchers carried out a meta-analysis, statistically combining the results of more than 600 smoking cessation studies covering almost 72,000 people from across the globe. By combining the results from so many separate studies, the meta-analysis enables the real effectiveness of each technique to be seen. The results are clear: the use of clinical hypnosis for smoking cessation is the most effective approach to becoming smoke-free in existence! And, one of the least expensive!
The results are in. According to the extensive research, here are the relative
effectiveness of various therapies:
Nicotine Replacement Therapy/Patches and gum, 7%
Will power alone (“cold turkey”), 6 – 11%
Herbal remedies, Lozenges, Nasal sprays, 2 – 5%
Herbal cigarettes, Inhalers, 2 – 5%
Prescription drugs, 20%
Acupuncture, 24%
HYPNOSIS!, 60%
We’re Connie and Michael Brannan, owners and operators of Mindworks Hypnosis, and we’ve been helping people end the smoking habit for over 10 years. We use a unique and powerful blend of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to stop smoking dead in it’s tracks.
You may not have heard of NLP, but it is the most advanced and powerful form of hypnosis there is. It has been called “hypnosis on steroids.” Knowing that hypnosis is already the most effective way to stop smoking, just imagine your results when you put it on steroids! Cool, huh?
You can quit, and we can help using this powerful, proven and safe method. And, unlike drugs, hypnosis has no negative side effects. It does, of course, have positive side effects–you’ll start feeling happy, energized, joyous, much better than you have in a long, long time. Call us and get on the path to healthy now: 425-564-8608.

Here’s a story to share with you, all about the hypnotic power of a half-eaten rotten banana.
I was working with a Seattle man the other day on quitting smoking. One of the elements of this work is our search for a useful feeling called “hell, no!” This gentleman, his “Hell, no!” was the thought of eating a rotten banana–he declared it the worst disgust feeling he could conjure. Coincidence, and propinquity! I had a half eaten well-past-its-prime squishy black banana in my trash can at the office at that very moment. I fished it out and we gave him several good whiffs, while I used my hypnotic tool kit to set that disgust equal to smoking. He’s done with cigarettes. Cravings are dead.
Long live the rotten banana! And long live the happy and healthy nonsmoker.
At the same time, and on the flip side of the coin, we also customized some powerful, good Designer Feelings™ in place of smoking, and attached those to undo the habit. Wonderful feelings that encourage healthy: calm, contentment, in control, and so on. Just as what generates disgust is unique person to person, so, too are the good feelings which can kick smoking desire to the curb. We explore and generate both in our Greater Seattle hypnotherapy center.
There’s a science and methodology to Neuro Linguistic hypnotherapy blended with fun and creativity, and, guess what? It works! For quitting smoking, as well as a variety of other positive changes. Are you ready to quit smoking? Let’s do it! Call me and let’s get started.
Hi, Hypnosis Blog Readers: Here’s another happy client reporting on happy life changes:
“Initially I went to Connie feeling like I needed help with drinking too much alcohol and smoking. I was kind of skeptical because of what I had heard others say in the past about hypnosis but after meeting Connie on our consultation I felt like I would like to try it anyway.
I knew that self-esteem and confidence was the real issue all my life, but Prozac can only do so much for you…I’ve had 25+ years of depression and eating issues and drinking issues. After working with Connie for 4 sessions I say proudly that I actually have that self-confidence and motivation to take charge and make changes in my life. It was the best gift I ever gave myself!
I recommend Connie to anyone struggling with similar issues that they want help with, she is very skilled and she personalizes things to work best for you.”
Anonymous, Renton, WA.
I’ll say it again. When you change your mind, you change your life. Bravo to “A” of Renton, WA. “A” is taking control of life. And that’s a good thing! Goodbye to 25+ years of “depression” and unhealthy drinking behaviors. Hypnosis works!
“Hi, Connie, I just wanted to share news with you that it is almost a month since I smoked my last one. I feel so clean, energized, refined and all good stuff I dreamed of. Thank you once again!” –John W., Bellevue, WA
Hypnosis works! When done right by a skilled, creative hypnosis professional. The proof is in the pudding. Check out all the empowered people who decided to quit smoking once and for all, and found the power of mind to do it with Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP!
Happy First Day of Winter! It’s also Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Transitions. It’s only brighter days from here on out, and brighter can be more than just sunshine in the sky! It can be outlook as well. When we feel better, life changes all around us. Case in point:
Patty Fields, of Bothell, my recent Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis client. She was in a dark place, but found her way to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP and to me. Here’s her report after one session of work together, which she is allowing me to share:
“Hi Connie, I hope this email finds you well this morning. This is Patty. I just want to express how grateful I am for what you did for me. Thank you for restoring confidence in me.
Connie, when I called you that day, I was broken. I was driving around. I didn’t know where I was going. I had been feeling this way for a year since I moved here, but mostly for the past two weeks after my break up. Let me tell you, this is the first time I am shedding a tear since I last saw you, only this time these are tears of joy.
I haven’t cried, I haven’t looked back, I haven’t regretted anything. I have moved forward. Matter of fact, by Thursday, I had a job offer with one of the companies that I’ve been really wanting to work for. I had so much confidence during my interview.
I have been able to complete some tasks that I was neglecting and most of all, I am so proud to ignore my ex’s many attempts to contact me. Had I not met you, I’d have jumped right back into his arms but I know I’m good enough to do it on my own.
Thank you so much, Connie. You’re such a blessing. Thank you for changing my life. Happy holidays!” – Patty Fields, Bothell, WA.

John Whitley does a lot of driving for his career. Unfortunately, he suffered (past tense) anxiety and nerves driving, tense and gripping behind the wheel. When you’re nervous, you’re not thinking clearly and it makes you less safe on the road. That needed to change. So, he did. He came to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. And here’s his report after one session of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy:
“Hello Connie, I just wanted to drop you a note about the first session. Great results. I have driven over the Pass two times since the first session, each time the drive gets easier. I cant put into words how much I truly appreciate your help. I would like to set up another session this week if you have time available. (another issue to work on) Thank you, John Whitley”
Yay, John! Good job!

As we posted earlier, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP has offered financial help to hurricane relief victims. We are contributing a portion of our hypnotherapy client session fees for the month of September to the American Red Cross. We got a very nice letter of thanks and we thought we’d share it! To all our clients, thank you for helping us to help. All the Best, Connie
Dear Connie,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for your recent contribution to the American Red Cross in support of Hurricane Harvey relief following the catastrophic destruction caused by the storm. You made a tremendous difference for families when they needed you most.
It has been nearly a month since the deadly Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Texas and Louisiana – flooding homes, submerging roads, making entire neighborhoods unreachable.
But thanks to your support, Connie, the Red Cross and partners were able to launch a significant Hurricane Harvey relief effort, providing safe shelter, food and comfort to families who lost everything. Thank you for being there.
In the last few weeks, the Red Cross and community partners have provided more than 405,000 overnight stays in emergency shelters due to Hurricane Harvey.
The Red Cross has served more than 2.6 million meals and snacks to people in need after the hurricane.
More than 2,900 Red Cross disaster workers and as many as 170 emergency response vehicles are on the ground right now, helping thousands of people affected by this disaster.
The Red Cross has distributed nearly 849,000 relief items like diapers, bug spray, cleaning supplies, and comfort kits that contain deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other hygiene items in Texas and Louisiana.
Connie, we could not have done any of it without you. It is your trust and your support that fuels our work. Our on the ground response from both Hurricane Harvey and Irma shows the difference that supporters like you make to families in need.
Stay tuned for our one-month report, which will share how donor dollars continue to make an impact to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
I cannot say it enough: Thank you.
Sincerely,
Harvey Johnson
Senior Vice President, Disaster Cycle Services
American Red Cross

With the BC wildfires burning and blowing haze and smoke into our world here in the Seattle area, the LAST thing you need to be doing is adding your own smoke to the mix.
It’s hard enough to breathe out there.
Do you want change? Are you ready to take control of the smoking habit and turn it off? You can. What people really don’t understand is how powerful they are, on the UN-conscious level. Yes, you can stop smoking.
I have a new vehicle. And one of the things I’ve been enjoying about it (besides the “new car” smell), is how clean the windshield is and how clearly I can see while I’m driving. My old vehicle had rock chip repairs right in my line of sight and it was annoying. However, every time I drove this past week or so, there were thousands of particles of smoke, ash, haze, landing on my windshield and attaching to my windshield. So it’s hard to see. The wipers don’t remove the particles. Annoying times a thousand. It’s like I need a car wash every day.
I was thinking. That’s like your lungs. Each and every time you smoke you’re depositing gunk and junk in there. And it sticks around. Not good.
Here’s the bottom line. Your thinking mind isn’t enough to get the job done, if you’re like most people. Your conscious mind is thinking, analysis, logic, reason. I KNOW you have reasons to quit smoking. If you haven’t (yet), that’s because your conscious mind isn’t strong enough to enforce change. Your UN-conscious can! This is the part of the mind we communicate with in hypnosis and NLP. This part of your mind is the enforcer. The feeling part of your mind. Emotion, intuition, creativity. The good stuff! If you don’t feel like smoking, you won’t. Your creative mind will find something more healthy and useful to do, and put it in the places where smoking habit was. The UN-conscious drivers of behavior and habit are removed. And you are suddenly able to do the things you’ve been consciously wanting to do. Or not do.
It’s really that easy. All you need to do is get your UN-conscious mind on board with your quit smoking project. And that’s what I help you do. Call me and I’ll be happy to meet with you and explain in detail what we do at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Lots of cool things. NLP is a conversational, open-eyed interactive hypnosis, that is fun and fascinating. It’s been called “hypnosis on steroids.” When you’re ready to go for it, so am I.
I’m sharing a video I’ve made regarding recent client, Jennifer, of Seattle, and her success with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Charming photos of one happy lady in London after kicking fear of flying.
You go, girl. The world is your oyster. Where to, next? 🙂
Personal change & success with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Have you ever been nervous? Sometimes it makes good sense and is appropriate, in that it keeps you safe! Keeps you from walking alone in dark alley ways, driving fast on icy roads, or petting the hungry bear coming up to your campsite.
Sometimes fear is useful. Sometimes not! Most times, not!
Most times, fear and nervous and anxious are a lug wrench messing with life success. Inappropriate, and not useful. Katherine H. of Seattle, WA was experiencing anxiety and dread. We prepped her for job interviewing. Dread won’t land a job, in particular! An interview is a time to shine and be confident and communicate effectively. After Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy, she did just that.
Here’s her report:
“Hi Connie, I’m doing quite well. I’m feeling like my old self again, which is terrific! I interviewed for a job today in Bellevue! What I have noticed is that I don’t have those dread feelings anymore…Today as I was waiting for the interview, my brain said happy! It felt soothing. 🙂 It’s really nice not to be bothered with the roller coaster ride and I find that I am more resilient overall.” — Katherine H., Seattle, WA.
Terrific, is right!
How long did it take to achieve this turnaround, this transformation? From fear and dread to happy, soothing resiliency? Quicker than you think. A few hours, a few sessions. Not years of laborious therapies that like to talk about problems. We don’t analyze problems, we do the work to END the problems. If other therapies had the tools to do so, they would. They don’t. Here’s what works: pure NLP done right combined with creative (not canned or generic) hypnosis. I love what I do, because it is creative.
Some Seattle area hypnotists will read a generic script at you in a 45 minute hypnosis session, and call it good to go. In my book, not good enough. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP offers something very, very different. A creative flow of words, ideas and communications designed for your mind and life, that lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. Interactive! Fun! Fascinating! And it works. NLP is a “high tech” hypnosis, and very few are skilled in it, which is unfortunate. Done right, it’s amazing.
The proof is in the pudding. We’ve updated the website today, http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net with more client success testimonials, in addition to Katherine’s. We’ve shared over 250 client reports and comments of their successful life changes at this point. If you’ve got a few hours to spare, they’re great reading and thoroughly inspirational!
You didn’t know change was so easy, did you? Find out for yourself, any time! Call me at 425-564-8608 for a free consultation and learn more about what I do and how I can help.
I love it when my clients let me know how they’re doing. It makes my day to get a happy email telling me how success and a better life is unfolding after our Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy work.
Jennifer H., of the Greater Seattle area, wrote to me and shared her joy after kicking fear of flying. After 17 years of allowing fear to stop her from getting on a plane, she successfully flew to Europe.
In her words: “I did it!”
Goodbye, flight anxiety. It’s not a thing for her, anymore. The world is her oyster. Now. Jennifer can experience the joys of connection and travel, and share those adventures with her kids as well. Makes me happy! This is why I love my work.
People think phobias and fears are such a big deal. And so they are, to the sufferer. Unless you find the right tools to remove them. 🙂 To a skilled NLP hypnotist, it’s relatively easy to remove a phobia. I had a spider phobia for decades, myself. I don’t have it, anymore. I couldn’t care less about spiders, they’re not on the radar, and take up none of my mental energy.
Jennifer’s crippling fear of flying is gone now. It’s my hope for her that her mind now expands to consider, look how I overcame this thing. I must be powerful, and I didn’t even know it. I wonder what else I can control in my life. (Lots, Jennifer!)
If you’d like to learn more about what this is all about, this Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) work, I’m happy to explain. It’s a fascinating, interactive, open-eyed conversational hypnosis. And, in the hands of a smart and creative person, it works! To help you get from A, to B. Any A, any B. For Jennifer, it was from Seattle to London.
I read a scary story today on Yahoo: “Could French Fries Be Killing You? An 8-year study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a direct linkage between higher death risk and frequency of eating french fries.
Wow! We all knew junk food is bad for you, but this takes it to a whole new level.
The good news: we can change what and how we eat. Hypnosis and NLP! This is what I’ve done for myself. No french fries or other risky food choices in years. Hypnosis can vanish cravings. Hypnosis can help you install a focus and ferocious tenacity for healthy.
I came across this interesting photo and article on the internet, about so called “Body Positivity.” Embracing obesity as attractive.
While I applaud people for finding a place in themselves where they feel good, I know there’s a way to feel good about yourself AND achieve a healthier weight. It’s called hypnosis.
Overweight almost my entire life, “body positivity” did not exist during my formative years. Actually, people that liked fat, that was considered some kind of weird fetish. So, I don’t go there. I can’t. Overweight is not attractive to me. And even if you successfully convince yourself that overweight is attractive, there’s no denying the health risks. Overweight will shorten your life!
I didn’t like how I looked, and I KNEW it wasn’t healthy. I’m glad I never fell into a “body positivity” mindset. Oherwise, I wouldn’t be enjoying the health and energy I’ve been enjoying for the past 10 years at a lighter weight. A better quality of life. Knowing I’m going to have MORE life. What happened to me 10 years ago that changed my life and changed my body? I discovered hypnosis.
And I lost weight. Skilled Hypnotherapy and NLP make weight loss easier than you think. It’s based on HOW you think. I’m now lighter (a LOT) and have kept it off for about 10 years. Here’s my before/after pics and an article, Feel Great & Lose Weight, that I’ve written about the transformation:
“Fat acceptance.” Acceptance usually means, it’s something I can’t change. In terms of your weight and eating and health habits, that’s false. You can change. I can help you do it.
Learn more if you’d like one on one private sessions of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy® to help you find your healthy.
A new season is upon us, summer begins in a couple weeks. Summer, in my mind, means enjoying activities in the great outdoors. Biking, swimming, sports! Baseball! Golf! Tennis!
The topic today is hypnosis and your sporting mind. I’m sharing a simple technique to capture your “zone” state for great play.
Here’s the outcome: you play harder, smarter, better. Whatever brings you pleasure and the win. As an extremely competitive person myself, I know the joy of winning. You can have it, too, in your life’s passion sport or any just-for-fun sport du jour.
All the Best,
Connie
PS: Hint! This same technique can be used for any desired “zone” state of mind even beyond sports. How about that articulate flow for the business presentation? How about that positive confidence for the job interview?
You can also find out more general information of the successes to be had with these mind technologies of hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming here:
Another happy client shares her success with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP services. Diana, of Woodinville, WA, came in for several issues, which we worked concurrently. She did GREAT, she collaborated and did what I asked, to create a new way of thinking.
“When you change how you think, how you think changes you!” My hubby and biz partner, Michael, coined that phrase! And it’s absolute truth.
Here’s what Diana says after 4 sessions of Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy at Mindworks Hypnosis:
“Connie, as we finished up our sessions today I wanted to thank you and say a few words.
I had been to counseling at least three times over the past 28 years for: procrastination/not motivated/negative/low energy/self-esteem-confidence. Well I spent a lot of [time] talking, however, I did not receive much help, only more frustration.
I have always been open to alternative therapies but had not explored the possibilities of what Hypnosis could do for me until this year. I researched Hypnotherapists in my area. I viewed your web site and read the patient reviews. After I watched your video, I felt there was a connection and believed you could help.
I knew I had made the right choice the minute I walked into your office. The office is very calming, light, bright & creative. You are very confident and explained what therapies you use, your degrees, certificates, years of experience including your own successes. I was ready to get started!
It was all so easy and relaxing. I was amazed after the first session how I had changed without even thinking about it. I just did not want to be un-motivated, I had energy to get things done – I did not go crazy by any means but it felt good to think to myself,” hmm I really don’t feel like watching anymore TV”. I did not want to put things off until tomorrow – before, I was the queen of making things sound so much better if I did them tomorrow!
It felt awesome to see myself energized to go out for a walk or work in the yard, instead of ugh – really a walk. I don’t crave the salty snacks, if I eat them – I just have a few and I’m satisfied. The things that bothered me are simply gone, just like you said – whoosh. The hypnosis itself is amazingly relaxing, I was aware of everything – yet the time slipped by.
I am so excited to work with my Self Hypnosis..I let you know how it goes. Thank you again!” — Diana S, Woodinville, WA
It seems like a big bundle of stuff, doesn’t it? Procrastination. Self Esteem issues. Confidence issues. Negative thinking. It’s all connected, and our work touches all of it. We don’t work on one behavior or THING. We work on life. Here’s an analogy…pro bowler. They know how to hit pins to knock down other pins with the one ball roll. We do that, too. I look for the biggest and best things to change which will have the most positive impact for the person in front of me. That skill is part of the artistry of hypnosis and what makes a creative hypnotist superior to a script-reading hypnotist.
I love my art. And I’m happy for Diana. I taught her a great tool, called “Self Hypnosis.” So she can work any goals for herself on an ongoing basis, utilizing this power part of the mind–her unconscious mind. Conscious mind work didn’t get her very far, as she said, 28 years of counseling. This approach is very different. We don’t analyze problems, we heal and end them. 28 years of counseling (and no success) or 4 sessions with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP (and life changes galore). Which sounds better? You pick!
I so much love what I do, helping and healing work. And I love hearing from my clients months later, of their long term successes continuing to unfold.
Clients usually notice immediate positive changes in the days around our work, however, that’s not the end of it! We program into the unconscious mind a progression of success building over time–using a proprietary process I invented. My client, Taylor, reports just that, long term success This letter, (enclosed below with permission) made my day!
“Hi, Connie! We worked together a few times last year on improving confidence and self-worth. Working with you was a HUGE turning point in my life. I have never felt better. The practical tools we created together and that you customized for me always work, without fail. Infinite thank you’s to you, awesome you!
In light of how highly I think of you and your work, I am now reaching out to you to help a family member. I can’t think of anyone better or more qualified to help than you. He has done talk therapy a lot. . . He needs subconscious work with you and tools to bring himself back to a state of balance and happiness.
Thank you for being you and for all that you do. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart! (Subconscious and conscious!!) With love + gratitude, Taylor”
Yay, for Taylor! And yes, I could help the family member. I’d be happy to do so.
If you’d like to learn more about the power of skilled Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy, call me! I do offer a free consult meeting.
Who wants to experience this wonderful thing called Hypnosis? This calm, clear, centered place where power is harnessed and problems dissolve. This focused, meditative state of mind. I do! I do!
Tonight I’m teaching at Bellevue College Continuing Education. A Chance to Trance. As of this writing, there are only 4 seats left. 7 pm to 9 pm. What would it be like to realize that you could begin to change your life in a mere 2 hours? How cool would it be to see yourself in that seat, relaxed and happy? Is it calling to you?
Those of you following my hypnosis and NLP blog read frequently my stories of helping, and adventures, and insight doing this work for 10+ years here in Bellevue. All about my approach — client-centered. My joy in this power called hypnosis that helps people to get the life they want. How I’m using it for my own weight management and self development. Here’s the “secret” to my success: Never stop learning, and growing, and perfecting skill.
I noticed this week that my largest local competitor, called Positive Changes Hypnosis Center is out of business. The google page for their Bellevue hypnosis location says: “closed permanently.” I called their direct office phone number and got a recording saying: “You have reached a non-working number.”
I know Positive Changes sold lengthy packages of services, and what’s happening to those people mid-service now that they have closed their doors?
If anyone reading this is a prior/current Positive Changes customer and uncertain about how to go forward to their goals, I’d like to reach out to you. Different, skilled hypnosis services are alive and well in Bellevue. My company is called Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.
My tools are quite different than Positive Changes. If you check out my reviews, my clients have greater success more quickly. For less money and less time commitment, also. How is that possible? The major difference is my skill set. I am a Licensed Trainer® of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (a high-tech hypnosis). Also, my work is always one on one, and custom-crafted. Hypnosis is an art form, and no two hypnotists create alike. Honestly, the difference between unskilled and skilled hypnosis can be as dramatic as a kid with a paint-by-numbers kit, vs. a Renoir.
My passion is greater, too. I flatter myself that I have found my art. This is it. And I love it beyond anything else in my life I have ever learned or done. That makes a difference, just as intelligence makes a difference. Experience makes a difference. Creativity makes a difference. If you’d like to discover what hypnosis can REALLY do for you, come on in and meet me. You’ll meet ME, not some high-pressure “evaluator.” I’m Connie, I’m the hypnotist.
Don’t give up on your goals of using hypnosis for change and success. Just find a skilled provider to help you.

Goodbye to Fear of Flying, with Seattle Area’s Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
A recent Seattle area client came to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP to remove flight anxiety. This anxiety was installed in her 18 years ago and had remained since then. She was experiencing all manner of symptoms of fear around flying: anxiety, physical tension, feeling hot, impaired breathing, catastrophic thinking, and so on. It was triggered by crowded airports, TSA security checkpoints, walking down the jetway, and the very experience of flying itself. She had to resort to pharmaceutical drugs in order to be able to get on an airplane and fly.
Unnecessary fear. Not good. Not useful. Not fun.
What would it be like if it were different? And what would she prefer if anxiety were gone? This is the question I posed to Jennifer G. of Sammamish, WA. She had one two-hour session of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy. We created her new Designer Feeling ® for flying, a blend of calm, happy, free and peaceful. We removed anxiety, and did the work to automate this new feeling in its place. Goodbye, flight phobia. 🙂 Plus we gave her a secret weapon to take with her on her upcoming trip, and any future flights. An NLP instant trigger that she controls to bring this new calm and happy feeling on demand.
Success!
Here’s her report, after our one session:
“I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that I had a wonderful trip to South Africa. My anxiety was lessened immensely and I was able to prepare for my trip without any pre-trip anxiety. I had no anxiety on the short leg of my trip, and just a little on the 15 hour flight, which, I think anyone would get a little anxious on a 15 hour flight. Working with you was a rewarding experience and I’m so glad that I chose this option! Thanks!” — Jennifer G, Sammamish, WA.
Yay, Jennifer. If she ever wanted to erase ALL remnants of anxiety from any future long flights, we could do that as well. Typically, I work with people 2 to 4 sessions for any given desired success. This was her result after just one session! Impressive!
Skilled NLP is a real tool helping real people to achieve real results. Find out more anytime. I do offer a free in office consultation meeting.

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Michael and I are happy to share and grow the power of mind by doing hypnosis and NLP, and by teaching. Here’re new training dates from the private career school side of what we do.
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
I consider myself one lucky person, because I get to pursue my passion-which is hypnosis (a super accelerated learning state) and NLP (a super accelerated hypnosis). NLP has been aptly described as “The Art & Science of Excellence.” Yes!
I have two businesses, rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP offers client work and hypnosis services in my Bellevue office working one on one with people. We tweak and install new strategies for success of all varieties, and that’s mightily rewarding work. I love helping!

Another Seattle area client reports on wonderful changes after working with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Here is a report by Helen, of Renton, WA.
She came in primarily for weight management and healthy eating, however, she also had an unwanted and unnecessary problem of feeling suffocated in various stress situations. Not good. Not useful. So, we got rid of that in the course of our weight loss work, as well.
Here’s her report:
“Hi, Connie! The issue of the feeling of suffocation has completely gone! No longer an issue. Just gone! YAY for success!
Re: hypnosis for weight loss… I can tell you that my dietary tastes have modified and some positive changes we made have really “stuck,” and that’s good.
I feel good enough about your services that I sent my longtime buddy to you about a month ago to overcome his “white coat syndrome” with doctors. Feel free to use me as a reference!” Helen Schwalm, Renton, WA.
That’s the idea here. We don’t work on just one thing, we work on whatever a client presents. One of my goals working with clients is to find connections between issues, and go for the “strike.” Like bowling. If you hit the right pins in the right way, it takes them all down. People get more “bang for the buck” at Mindworks. We’ll spread the positive change around, to more than one area of life. You may come in for weight loss, and get tools for stress release as well. You may come in to quit smoking, and gain confidence for business success and relationships. I find out what you need, and we create that to help you attain your specific goals. This IS a customized service. No script-reading, generic, less-powerful hypnosis here!
We go for it. Using all my tools and creativity, including hypnosis, both direct and indirect, NLP processes (hypnosis on steroids), energy work, timeline work, parts therapy, and more.
Hypnosis is an art form. And I’m happy Helen is happy with the new canvas of her life. Again, you can learn more any time in my free consultation meeting. Call me and let’s get started. 425-564-8608.
Vicki of Bellevue, WA is sharing her success after working with me. She’s healthier, and lighter by 77 pounds in a matter of months. She wrote a review on the business review site, Yelp. She’s a happy camper. She gives Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP 5-stars, as good as it gets. Here’s what she wrote:
“Vicki M. Bellevue, WA 5.0 star rating 2/6/2017
In July, 2016 I was hospitalized with blood clots in my lungs. After I got discharged I decided to start taking better care of myself. A friend of mine referred to me Connie. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. As of today, I have lost 77 pounds. I have been on many different diets over the years, and now I eat what I like but I recognize when I am full. Due to the weight loss it has helped with reducing the clots and an extra plus, I started out in a size 16 and now wear a 6.”
That’s awesome. A few months of healthier choices, and she’s improved her health dramatically. Size 16 to a size 6!! Good job, Vicki.
So, what is this thing called hypnotherapy? It’s you, finding power and resourcefulness within yourself. I guide you to it (it’s absolutely there), and you get to use it to accomplish things. What kind of things? ANY things. Weight loss is one, such as Vicki worked. Habit change such as quit smoking or alcohol is one. Dumping a phobia is one. Sports improvement is one. More productivity at work is one. More confidence in relationships is one. And so on, the list is endless.
And one change has a way of cascading in the mind into even more healthy and desired changes. The brain gets excited and says: “Yay, me! I’m powerful. What else shall I do to create more Joy?”
I’m happy when my clients share their success. In fact, we were just recognized by Yelp as one of the highest reviewed businesses in 2016. That’s right. When you find what you are passionate about and love to do (I did) and you are good at it (I am), well that’s joy for me. Hypnosis is my joy. I’d love to share it with you, anytime.
Call me at 425-564-8608 and we’ll set up a free consultation meeting.
Words are my work tool. Words are power. Words move us and matter. I was thinking the other day about the phrase “Wishful Thinking.” It has a negative connotation. If we’re dreaming about something we’d like someday that we don’t figure will manifest, we say: “Oh, that’s just wishful thinking.” We don’t expect success. We don’t work for success. And we don’t get success.
Hypnosis and NLP are absolutely NOT “wishful thinking” like that. You know what they are? WISH-FULFILL THINKING. Wish fulfill. As in, get what you’re wishing for. People are so much more powerful to create success in their lives than they know. I know. People are powerful, and when the mind is directed via focused positively-directed wish-fulfill thinking, success happens.
We do tend to get what we expect. Expectation colors all, and reveals itself in what we do, how we act in the world. Wishful thinking expects failure. So failure happens. Wish-fulfill thinking expects success. Success happens. Henry Ford is famous for expressing this same idea: “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right!”
How does this work? The mind moves in the direction of its dominant thoughts, so when an outcome (such as successful weight loss, habit change around smoking, calmness instead of anxiety, etc.) becomes dominant, that’s what we do. And how we live. That’s what we create for ourselves in our lives.
Hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming are all about directing the mind to focus on what we want, not what we don’t want. And we train the mind to have an expectation of success. “Dream wantonly, and expect to succeed.” This is wish-fullfill thinking.
As always, the proof is in the pudding. Check out my client reports. Directing your mind to success (in this UNconscious realm, outside of conscious interference, back behind the curtain in the mind as it were) works to create success. Any success.
I offer private client sessions to help you direct your mind and create life successes. Find out more in my free in person consultation. I’m happy to meet with you. I love to chat about what I do and how the mind works. That’s why I named my business “Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.” Dump the wishful thinking, and find your power with unconscious wish-fulfill thinking.
Michael and I were excited to get another recognition today. This one from Yelp, the world’s largest business review site. “Congratulations! People LOVE Mindworks Hypnosis on Yelp.”
It goes on to read: “Dear Mindworks Hypnosis, We’re proud to recognize Mindworks Hypnosis for the positive ratings and reviews you’ve earned on Yelp in the last year. Our visitors love Mindworks Hypnosis!
In recognition of your accomplishment, we’re presenting you with the “People Love Us On Yelp” award, which is only awarded to the most highly rated and best reviewed businesses on Yelp.” — Jeremy Stoppelman, CEO, Yelp.
More proof of the pudding. Happy clients sharing their positive outcomes–the passion and purpose of our hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming services.
All the Best,
Hello!
All the Best, Connie & Michael
