Seattle Area Clinical Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapist & Licensed Trainer of NLP ™ shares the truth about hypnosis, NLP and the unconscious mind to create powerful, positive, and lasting life changes. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Here’s the truth: most of us know what we “should” be eating — more veggies, fewer cookies, right? But knowing and doing are two very different things. Willpower wears out. Stress hits. Suddenly the chips are gone, and we’re wondering how they even got into the house.
Here’s the good news — hypnosis changes the game.
It’s Not About Willpower — It’s About Mind Power
Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) help you align your unconscious mind with your healthy eating goals. That means instead of fighting cravings, you just… stop having them.
Imagine:
Walking past the snack aisle without a second thought.
Craving fresh, colorful foods that actually fuel your body.
Feeling satisfied with smaller portions — no white-knuckle self-denial required.
That’s what I help clients do every day at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.
✨ How It Works
During hypnosis, we quiet the noise of the conscious mind and speak directly to the part of you that runs your habits — your automatic pilot. Together, we reprogram old patterns and install new ones that support:
Better food choices (yes, you’ll actually want the salad!)
Balanced portions so you stop when satisfied
Emotional freedom from stress or boredom eating
Confidence in your ability to stay on track
Real People, Real Results
I’ve had clients tell me:
“I suddenly just wanted vegetables. I don’t know what you did, Connie, but I actually enjoy eating healthy now.”
And here’s the secret: it wasn’t me forcing them to do anything — it was them, learning how to work with their own powerful mind.
Ready for a Change?
If you’re tired of diets that don’t stick, if you want lasting change that feels natural and easy, hypnosis might just be the missing piece.
Let’s get your mind and body working together so you can create the healthy lifestyle you’ve always wanted.
As we transition into the cold and flu season, our respiratory health becomes more crucial than ever. And if you’re a smoker, you probably already know the risks that come with each puff, especially during these susceptible times. But here’s the good news: this can be your season of change, and we’re here to help!
Meet Connie & Michael Brannan, the dynamic duo behind Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP in Bellevue, WA. With years of experience under their belts, they’ve mastered the art of leveraging the powerful techniques of hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help numerous individuals wave goodbye to their smoking habits.
Why Hypnotherapy and NLP?
For starters, hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious mind, addressing the deep-rooted reasons and associations tied to smoking. Rather than just battling the physical addiction, hypnotherapy addresses the psychological aspect, ensuring a more holistic approach.
NLP, on the other hand, is all about rewiring the brain’s patterns. Ever noticed how you light up a cigarette automatically after a meal or with your morning coffee? NLP helps replace these automatic triggers with healthier alternatives, allowing for a smoother transition out of the smoking habit.
The blend of these two therapies offers a potent formula that goes beyond mere willpower. With personalized sessions tailored to each individual’s unique story, the Brannans ensure that the journey to a smoke-free life is not just effective but also deeply transformative.
The Perfect Time is Now!
As we navigate the season known for respiratory ailments, taking the bold step to prioritize lung health becomes paramount. The Brannans have successfully helped many to rediscover the joy of deep, smoke-free breaths, and you could be next! Put smoking behind you!
With the expertise at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, you’re not just quitting smoking; you’re embracing a healthier, brighter future. So, as the leaves change and the air gets crisper, remember: “It’s time.”
Ready to embark on your smoke-free journey? Reach out to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP today, 425-564-8608, and let the magic of hypnotherapy and NLP lead the way!
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis, an easily achieved trance-like state, to help people make positive changes in their lives. At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, Michael and I guide clients into a relaxed and focused state, where they are more open to suggestions and ideas for change and then we “talk to the unconscious.” We negotiate. We cajole. We suggest. We tell stories. We persuade. We highlight what a better life would mean and direct energy and action towards it. (Here’s where creativity, intelligence, & linguistic skills come in!)
We help with things like quitting smoking, managing stress, and overcoming phobias. It can also be used to improve focus, motivation, and self-esteem. AND SO MUCH MORE! Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP in the Greater Seattle area, check us out!

Hi, hypnosis friends! I’ve been gathering up some more office photos to share. Here is one. The cozy corner, as I call it. Where a lot of the magic happens. I’ve had that same very, very nice leather recliner chair for the office since day one in 2007, and it’s still fabulous and comfortable and permeated with positive energy.
Here’s a photo of my hypnosis chair, complete with spiral pillow. I get a kick out of that pillow every time I see it! 🙂 It’s an “old-time hypnosis” symbol. To me, it’s fun. I call it: Hypno-wheel. So, this is the Hypno-wheel Pillow, sitting on the Trance Chair, my leather recliner, in my hypnotherapy office in Bellevue. It’s waiting for you! You don’t actually sit ON the pillow, I move it when we get down to business, it’s really for “ambiance!” The symbol also means “infinity.”
And that makes great sense to me…as hypnosis is an ancient art. In the time of the Egytians, they had healing “sleep temples” where hypnosis was practiced. Hypnosis and healing, that connection has long been known. Hypnosis has been written about by well-known psychologists of the 1800’s, including William James. In India in the 19th century, hypnosis was used on the battlefield to help with necessary amputations–without anesthesia, without pain.
Hypnosis is not new. But, there’s a growing awareness and acceptance in the world for hypnosis as a mainstream healing art and science, which I find wonderful. Holly-weird has done it’s best to create fear and a negative mystique surrounding hypnosis, but the truth has a way of coming out. And the truth about hypnosis is wonderful. What it can do for a person, and the pleasant nature of the experience itself.
Here are some actual quotations from my clients upon emerging from trance and commenting on the experience: “That was delightful.” (Gene, Mercer Island) “Wow!!” (Monica, Bellevue, and dozens and dozens of others–this is the most common response) “Better than sex.” (Andy, Seattle) “I loved it!” (Michael, Bellevue) “That was amazing!” (Jennifer, Kirkland)… Some people are speechless, but the grateful smiles on their faces speak volumes.
When you’re in trance, in hypnosis, you are connecting to the best part of yourself. That part of you that wants success and fulfillment and thriving and good feelings! The part of you that can make those things reality.
So, what does trance feel like? In general, and for me personally, a sense of well-being permeates trance, and stress packs its bags. People do experience it differently. To some, it’s very very similar to their natural waking state. To some, it’s “otherworldly” and beyond words. Some people find their limbs turning so heavy, heavy relaxed, so comfortable that they don’t want to move. Some people feel light and floating, as though disconnected to their physical bodies. Some people feel warmth and tinglings. Some people get cold. (I also offer “the dream blanket” during trancework.) It has also been likened to those transitional moments before sleep.
We experience naturally-occurring trance doing everyday, just-living-our-lives things. Reading a book, playing on the computer, driving a car, daydreaming, watching television. It’s nothing “woo-woo,” and it’s nothing bizarre. It’s just us, activating our minds in a specific, natural way. What’s cool, what’s magical, is how we can use this “hypnosis state of mind” to create change in ourselves and in our lives. When you apply hypnosis, for a desired outcome, guided by a professional, that’s what is called hypnotherapy. That’s what I do.
So, if you’re still wondering: “What does trance feel like? And what can it do for me?” I’d like to show you. http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net Call me and I’ll be happy to meet with you and tell you more.
It’s time for back to school, isn’t it? And that means time to learn. Accelerated and enhanced learning is another category under the heading: hypnosis helps! Yes, it does! I love helping clients create useful states of mind for any activity, including learning, with hypnosis and NLP.
Please watch this charming video, below. The boy is FIVE YEARS OLD!! 🙂 His father says the key element to his son’s learning to read is his “curiosity.” That’s high up on my list of useful resources for self and clients, as well. If you don’t have it, we can create it. For learning states, I like to create a blend of attention (focus), curiosity, confidence, and “I love it” (a sense of passion and fun).
Learning, studying, absorbing information, test-taking, giving presentations. Hypnosis helps with all of that. Here’s how it works. We create a new way to feel in the context, and that loops with a new way to think, and that loops with a new way to act. New behaviors. And it’s all good, and all designed for your success and goals. Like the little boy in the video, the right state of mind for learning to read (curiosity) leads to a wonderful outcome.
Just an FYI, I do work with kids. I’ve done hypnotherapy with as young as six years old. Young people make the best hypnotic clients!
You can’t learn well if you’re in the wrong state of mind. For some, “back to school” is a time of happy. If it’s a time of stress or anxiety or overwhelm for you or your child, that affects learning. Know that it can be different. FAST. My Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy sessions are super brief therapies. Call me anytime for a free consultation in my office to learn more about hypnosis and NLP. (425) 564-8608.

Laurie Adams of SeaTac, WA. A real client, a real success story.
This is the story of Laurie Adams. 40 years a smoker. A consistent smoker. Now, that’s a “habit.” Fortunately, hypnosis is stronger and more powerful than any habit.
Two years ago, in April of 2012, Laurie came into my office at the prompting and personal recommendation of her physician. She wanted to quit smoking. She did just that. It took all of two Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy sessions. Two sessions! To break a 40-year habit!
That’s power. That’s success. What’s even more “proof of the pudding,” it’s been two years now, and Laurie is STILL a non-smoker. Going strong, and healthy.
If you think you’re beyond help, think again. Think of something you haven’t tried. Yet. That’s skilled hypnotherapy. The power of the mind is greater than you think, and when these tools and techniques are artfully applied, well, magic happens. I know it to be true. And so does Laurie.
Here’s her video testimonial:
Good job, Laurie! Here’s to the next 20 years and beyond, also as a non-smoker.
