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
Ever feel fired up about a goal—then, two weeks later, the spark’s gone?
That’s not laziness. That’s how the conscious mind works: short bursts of enthusiasm. The subconscious, though? That’s where the long-term change lives.
At Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP, we reprogram your subconscious to stay connected to your “why.” That deep, emotional driver that keeps you going when the conscious excitement fades.
Imagine having consistent energy and focus that doesn’t waver. That’s what happens when your inner motivation is wired at the deepest level.
✨ Don’t chase motivation. Create it. Call me (Connie) and learn more! 425-564-8608.
What if you could design your emotions like you design your outfit each day? Want calm for a meeting, confidence for an interview, or joy for a celebration? With my proprietary Designer Feelings® process, you can.
In sessions, I help clients discover and anchor the emotional states they most want to experience. The results are powerful: people report more success, more peace, and more happiness — all because they learned how to run their own minds.
Emotions don’t have to “just happen.” You can create them deliberately. That’s the magic of hypnosis and NLP.
If you’re ready to feel the way you want to feel — not the way life “makes” you feel — let’s get started today. www.mindworkshypnosis.net
Have you ever felt like you just can’t seem to get started on a project? You have things to do, but distractions pull you in every direction. Procrastination creeps in, and you find yourself thinking, “I can’t see how to proceed.” It’s frustrating, right? What if I told you that your focus isn’t gone—it’s just not where it needs to be right now? At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, we specialize in helping you find that laser-like focus and direct it where it matters most.
Yes, You Can: Focus is Within You
The truth is, you already have focus. It’s just being scattered across distractions, stress, or feelings of overwhelm. Through skilled Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis and Designer Feelings®, we help you tap into that focus and redirect it toward the tasks at hand. Whether you’re struggling with procrastination, an overload of distractions, or a sense of being stuck, we help you break free from those patterns.
Imagine being able to turn off the distractions and finally get things done with ease. Whether it’s a work project, a personal goal, or even just managing day-to-day tasks more effectively, we help you shift your focus, so that productivity comes naturally.
How Do We Do It? NLP is Amazing
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is all about understanding how your mind processes information and makes decisions. Through NLP techniques, we can rewire the way your mind works, making it easier for you to focus on what’s important and ignore what’s not. The results? You’ll find yourself naturally honing in on tasks, staying motivated, and getting things done without the struggle.
In our sessions, we use powerful, personalized techniques to help you:
Turn off the “I can’t see how to proceed” feeling and replace it with clarity.
Switch off procrastination by attaching a sense of urgency and desire to finish.
Clear away distractions and develop a sharper, more efficient focus.
Attaching Focus to the Project at Hand
Think of your mind like a spotlight. Sometimes, it shines in too many directions at once, leaving you feeling scattered and overwhelmed. Through hypnosis and NLP, we help you focus that beam of light where you want it to be—on the projects that matter most. The beauty of skilled NLP is that once your mind learns how to focus, the results are automatic.
The change happens quickly. Suddenly, tasks that felt impossible become easy. Decisions that once overwhelmed you now seem clear and manageable. That’s the power of focus, and it’s waiting for you!
Voila, Focus!
At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, we’re all about results. We help you turn “I can’t” into “I can,” and we do it with skill, precision, and speed. Imagine waking up tomorrow ready to tackle your to-do list, free from distractions, and ready to make progress on the things that matter to you most. With hypnosis and NLP, it’s possible.

Are you finding it hard to stay motivated? Maybe you’ve got big dreams but can’t seem to muster the drive to chase them. It’s a common struggle, and often it’s your subconscious thoughts and beliefs that hold you back. That’s where Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy can step in, providing potent tools to supercharge your motivation from within.
NLP explores the relationship between our minds, language, and behaviors. At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, we help you edit thought patterns in useful ways, helping you to effectively rewire your brains towards positive change. Through NLP, we identify and remove the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that often hinder motivation. By replacing these with empowering thoughts, you lay the groundwork for a more motivated mindset. As Henry Ford said: “If you think you CAN, or you think you CAN’T, you’re right!” We install you into the “Yes, I can!” mindset.
Hypnotherapy also reaches into your subconscious mind. In a state of deep relaxation, your mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions, allowing you to cultivate a strong inner drive. Imagine planting the seeds of motivation directly into your subconscious. As these seeds take root, they foster a natural and lasting motivation that can power you towards your goals.
Combined, NLP and Hypnotherapy offer a powerful framework for enhancing motivation. It’s a process that goes beyond surface-level tips and tricks. Instead, it fosters an intrinsic motivation that aligns with your core values and ambitions. So, if you’re ready to conquer your dreams, consider exploring the transformative power of NLP and Hypnotherapy. Your journey towards unshakeable motivation might just be a thought away.

Did you know, what you believe to be true becomes true? Henry Ford said it best: “If you think you can or you think you can’t…you’re right!”
At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, the game is for you to KNOW that you can. And then you do! Achieve any goal. Conscious mind affirmations are weak, because the conscious mind is a filter that doesn’t allow the ideas to really be accepted. You stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself: “I’m getting stronger every day!” And the little inner voice says, “No, you’re not!” We have proprietary tools and methods for congruent belief with our NLP work. They are called “Designer Beliefs®.” You will REALLY know the truth of your own power, when you work with us.
Here are some of the useful and 100% True beliefs that we help you fully know in regards to Confidence!
1. “I am confident in my abilities and trust myself.”
2. “I am worthy of love, respect, and success.”
3. “I am capable of achieving my goals and dreams.”
4. “I am a strong and capable person.”
5. “I choose to focus on my strengths and find success.”
6. “I am motivated to work hard and reach my full potential.”
7. “I believe in myself and my ability to overcome obstacles.”
8. “I am deserving of happiness and success.”
9. “I am powerful and can create the life I want.”
10. “I am optimistic and full of positive energy, ready to tackle any challenge.”
When you change how you feel, you change how you perform in the world. “Good feelings, good decisions.” Turn off anxiety, turn up confidence and motivation. etc. Designer Feelings® for sale at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.
“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” -Milton Burle. In challenging times, state of mind can absolutely add (or detract) from your success. Achieve a confident outlook which fuels action. http://mindworkshypnosis.net
Mindset of Success with Mindworks Hypnosis. http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net. Believe. Achieve. Succeed. Mindset is everything. If you need help with yours to achieve your goals, we can help. Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy for the win!
You have more power (of mind) than you think. At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, we help you access and harness it. With the right state of mind, the sky’s the limit.
Lazy is a state of mind. And it creates a state of body. We help you change both. Any goal manifestation takes energy, whether increasing sales in business or putting on the sneakers and heading for the gym or cleaning the garage or learning something new. Creative pursuits take energy. Physical pursuits take energy. With Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy and, especially, our Designer Feelings®, we help you turn off lazy and create in yourself an ideal state for getting to it and getting it done! Any “it.”
Are you ready to get organized? Get things done? Sometimes when we contemplate a project, we feel overwhelmed. That’s not useful, and in fact, often stops us from even starting. Sometimes we wait until the very last minute, and then in desperation, do a slapdash job. What if overwhelm were vanished, and you were filled with creative ideas, energy, and motivation to get moving on the project? That’s what we set up with you. For you. In you. Designer Feelings® for sale at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Available nowhere else, this is a trademarked service.
Here’s another happy client report. Love to get good news from my clients about how our NLP and hypnotherapy work is changing and shaping their success.
“I have been able to pick up the phone without hesitation for numerous types of business calls, which I would have procrastinated on before. This is the most amazing difference and the most important, since this directly relates to me getting the referrals I need that lead to my income.” –B. P., Bellevue, WA
That’s right, the right state of mind fuels success in business. And in life. Procrastination is built on fear. We remove fear, and replace it with confidence, motivation, and “go for it.”
If you’re stuck anywhere on the list below, we can help. No ideas? We install inspiration and creativity. Not starting a project? We install passion and a sense of pleasure and immediacy. Not finishing? We install energy and confidence and motivation. How would you rather feel and then you can be successful? We create that.
In addition to our hypnotherapy and NLP clinical work in the Seattle area, we also teach through our private career school. And we’ve had some fabulous students over the years. Here is a post for “The Hypnotizer” by a guest blogger, my student, Alexa Ritter. Alexa is an amazing hypnotist and Licensed Master Practitioner of NLP®
Enjoy Alexa’s words of wisdom! All the Best, Connie
Hypnosis for New Year’s Resolutions by Alexa Ritter
How many times have you made a New Year’s Resolution? Maybe 25? 35? 45? 50? 70? And how many times did you stick to your resolution for the entire year? That number, if you are anything like the rest of us, is probably a lot lower.
This is because change can be difficult if one tries to do it through will-power alone. The main reason why anyone is celebrated or praised for adhering to a New Year’s resolution is because they are fighting an uphill battle and “surviving”.
As Albert Einstein once proclaimed, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could simply decide to make a change in your life, and then sit back and relax as your wish becomes your mind’s command?
With hypnosis, you don’t even have to try to achieve your goals! The struggle fades away, and the battle is won instantly. You can say “goodbye” to that miserable year-long process of attempting to create change, and say “hello” to becoming the boss of your own life!
If your boss told you to do something, you would do it without hesitation. Just like your boss is in charge of you at work, your unconscious mind is in charge of how your life works.
However, your unconscious mind isn’t just some old boss – it is you—the manifestation and accumulation of all that you can be, and all the power you have. It is limitless, expansive, creative, and omnipotent, regardless of any preconceived notion of what you can and cannot do.
The reason why you may have struggled to create change in the past is because your conscious, analytical mind stopped you. It came up with all sorts of excuses, limiting beliefs, bad ideas, and temptations. The funny thing is, that whatever change you wanted to make, was more than likely a conscious idea. And by eventually limiting and contradicting itself, your conscious mind really was unresourceful.
Unlike the conscious mind, the unconscious mind is extremely resourceful. It knows exactly how to make all the changes necessary in order for you to have what you desire. Permanently and easily!
During hypnosis, your unconscious mind is given suggestions, or instructions on what needs to be done. It then finds a healthful and appropriate way to take you there, and demands compliance from your conscious mind. Your conscious mind stops creating the problem, and fully accepts the effective course of action formulated by your unconscious.
So why not make this year different? Why not utilize your unconscious mind to make changes instantly, easily, and permanently?
Not only will you receive praise from your friends and family for sticking to your New Year’s resolutions, you will do it almost effortlessly, and your lasting success will become an inspiration to them. They will want to know your secret!
I’m always pleased when a client is so happy with my work that he/she agrees to comment publicly on the power of hypnotherapy and NLP done right. Here’s a video testimonial of success from a recent client, Pam Parsons, of Issaquah, WA. She reports that anxiety is “Totally gone.” Yay!
Pam decided to feel differently, and move ahead in life. She chose to feel: “calm, confident, worthy, driven, and courageous.” The tools and techniques I use helped her to do just that. We create new Designer Feelings™, and replace the unwanted feelings, and automate that process for the future, which we call Designer Beliefs ™. Powerful stuff! Fabulous stuff. Life-changing stuff. Pam knows.
A man I met recently asked me a question. He said, at the end of your life, are you going to be able to say with authority and truth that you lived the life you wanted? That you mattered, that you made a positive difference in the world, that you loved fully, that you lived fully? I know my answer is going to be: YES! I love helping people, and I’m doing it. I’m living my passion. I’m also happy that I’m helping other people to have a more wonderful life and be able to answer that question themselves in the affirmative, too.
If you’re ready for change, give me a call anytime to find out more.
Would you like some insider-secrets to the work I do at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP? When I meet a client, one of the first questions I ask during the info gathering portion of our work is: “How would you rather feel?” What specific, explicit state of mind and body, aka mood, would be useful to you in the context under discussion?
The right frame of mind is essential to success in any human endeavor. A golfer might need focus and calm, and strength. A person who is speaking in public might need clear-minded, articulate, and a sense of fun. A person boarding an airplane might need a feeling of relaxation, security, and optimism. Intimate moments might need confidence, joy, and playfulness. A business person working a new project might need motivation, energy, and creativity.
Michael and I are trained as Design Human Engineers™ as well as Licensed Trainers of NLP ®. Here’s one of the things we love to do with those tools at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP: we custom-design and create with you new feelings.
And then we attach those new feelings where they are useful. We transform a problematic state of mind and body, such as fear, uncertainty, sadness, I can’t do it, lethargy, hopeless, etc. into power and joy and success generators.
Dr. Bandler (the co-originator of NLP, and the man who has licensed us as his Trainers) has a wonderful saying: “Good feelings, good decisions. Bad feelings, bad decisions.” That is so true! We’ll help you create those good feelings. When you change how you feel, you change how you think, and you change what you do in the world. It’s all connected.
The way I explain this to clients, I have them imagine we’re making soup: We toss into the pot all sorts of good things, veggies, herbs, spices, etc. We simmer and the flavors merge and meld and create something wonderful. So, too, we create for you designer feelings. We can create in these blends feelings you’ve never even experienced in the world. You can now.
How would YOU rather feel? Here’s a sampling of the power feelings you can choose from:
Confident
Calm, Relaxed
Happy
Successful
In Control
Who Cares?/Indifference
Not my Problem
Self Esteem (otherwise known as “Yay, Me!”)
Optimistic
Freedom
Security
Loved/Loving
Connection
Creative
Clear-Minded
Peaceful
Satisfied
Capable/I Can Do It!
Acceptance
Articulate
Carefree
Having Fun
Motivated/Go For It!
No Way!/Aversion
Passion/Engaged with Life
Healthy/Strong
Forgiveness
Patience
Trust
Energetic
Humor
This is only a partial “menu” of items that can go into your customized, designer feeling. Then we do the work (using NLP) to attach this new power state to the times/places/interactions where you want the feeling. Bottom line: we get to CHOOSE how we feel. What a life-transforming, power-filled idea.

I woke up this morning thinking about motivation. Have you ever said to yourself: “I WANT to do this!”? Did that alone move you to do it? For the people that come into my Bellevue hypnotherapy office for help in such things as losing weight or quitting smoking, the answer is typically “no.” They want to. They haven’t. (Yet.)
Have you ever said to yourself: “I NEED to do this!”? Did that move you more or less to actually accomplish it?
Want vs. need. Those two words create different feelings inside us, that are often in conflict. Here is a classic example I hear from my weight loss clients: I want to sit on the couch, watch TV and eat donuts, however I need to go to the gym and get on the elliptical machine.
Want is desire, an attraction, a pull. I want that new car. Need is necessity, and can be a push away from something we don’t want. I need to do the dishes, or I won’t have any clean ones to eat off of. Either one alone, want or need, might move us to action. Or not.
Here’s my insight! What if we combine these motivations?
How much more likely are you to DO the thing you both want to do and need to do? What if you wanted to go to the gym as well as needed to? Would you be sitting on the couch with donuts? No way, Jose!
A combo of want and need generates massive power for forward action! You’re moving away from what you don’t want and don’t need and towards what you do want and do need at the same time. This is something I help people create in themselves through hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming. I have found it to be very, very useful for helping clients achieve their goals.
The meaning and utility of words is my business. And because one of my personal goals (NEED and WANT) is to become the best at what I do, I spend every waking minute, including this Sunday morning, musing on the power of words. If you need or want some changes in your life and they aren’t happening, give us a call. We’ll get you moving in the right direction.
Here is another of my fun “anthropomorphism” videos. 🙂
What if your elliptical machine could talk? What would it say to you? Would it feel fulfilled in it’s purpose in life? Or would it feel unused and unnecessary? Here is the tale of a lonely elliptical machine.
When it’s time to get moving, you know what to do. Call Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP. (425) 564-8608. We’ll get your blood flowing and your motivation flying and your body moving. If you want activity and energy on the menu, we can help put it there. And as everyone on the planet knows, this is key to weight loss and weight management.
“Someday.” What a wishy-washy weasel-y, weak word. Be wary of this word coming out of your own mouths or pens–because here’s what it really means: never. “Someday” is married to “I can’t.” They live unhappily ever after.
Movement forward is a good thing, in my model of the world. What I sell is movement, and change. Belief change, behavioral change. Life change. Useful and desired and WONDERFUL change. “Someday” is a holding in place word, not a movement word. “Do it!” “Doing it!” that’s movement. Someday…I’ll quit smoking. Someday…I’ll get my body in shape. Someday…blah blah blah. Someday never comes.
I love my teachers. One in particular, Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-creator of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™. Yesterday was his birthday. He got literally hundreds of well wishes from fans and friends across the globe on his Facebook page. One girl wrote to him: “I will take one of your trainings and meet you someday.” I’m sure he was underwhelmed by that. I would be. It means “never.”
When I took Design Human Engineering™ with Richard and his co-trainer, John LaValle, last year, here’s one of the ideas that got well installed: “Just f****** do it!!” It being movement towards a well formed outcome, a goal, what you want in life. I hear John’s voice in my ear often, propelling me forward. I’ll have to thank him again for that! 🙂
My favorite songwriter, Smokey Robinson, said the same thing in a softer way in the lyrics of one of his best songs (More Love): “Let it be soon. Don’t hesitate. Make it now. Don’t wait…”
To me it’s so simple. If you want something (sufficiently), you do it. You make it happen. I don’t “do” someday. Why would anyone? Why not shift “someday” into “now?”
Happy New Year! Are you making some wonderful New Year’s Resolutions for 2011 for your health and success and prosperity? I am!
Yes, I’ve been thinking about New Year’s Resolutions. And the word “resolve.” What does it really mean? If you’re sort of wanting something, thinking about it, but doing little or nothing to achieve it, that equals a lack of resolve. “Gee, that would be nice someday, but…” If you’re half-heartedly doing something towards a goal for only a day or two or three and then the desire drifts away, that’s a wishy-washy resolve. Like a slap with a wet noodle–not much power in it. I believe that half-hearted determination is what most people bring to their New Year’s Resolve. And that’s sad.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way!! 🙂 If weak resolve is not good enough for you, read on! Hypnosis helps you create something absolutely different. Hypnosis reaches into your inner workings and finds, reinforces and activates true resolve. True resolve is a whole-hearted affair. Heart and mind and body affair–every nerve and fiber of your being saying: “YES, I’m going for it!!!” Resolve and determination…think Rocky preparing for his big fight, eating raw eggs, and working out, running up those monument steps, triumphant (in advance) and focusing all his attention and actions on achieving his goal.
That’s real resolve. It’s power, because you KNOW you’re going to get what you want and nothing and no one can deter you. You do everything within your power and energy and creativity, with passion and motivation, to achieve it, that worthy outcome you desire.
Resolve is also a visual term. When things come into focus, they resolve. The blur resolves into a clear image. When you resolve to do something, your goal is FOCUSED. Sharp, sharp, sharp. Clear. Unmistakable. How would you like to be sharply focused and motivated and moving on your goals with true resolve? Yes, me, too.
Hypnosis, baby! If your New Year’s desires already have the force of a pure and clear RESOLUTION, yay! I applaud you! Go for it. However, if you find that clarity of desire unfocused, or the resolve is not there to give you that OOMPH, that go for it power of actual sustained movement forward, then hypnosis is a tool to help you do just that.
It doesn’t matter WHAT you are resolving to do, hypnosis can give you that directed focus and acceleration, like stepping on the gas pedal in your car. You select the destination, hypnosis is both the GPS (how to get there) and the thrust forward of stepping on the gas. Resolve. Rocky was hypnotized. He hypnotized himself into power. We are all capable of this, but it’s a heck of a lot easier to have a professional communicator help it to happen faster and more easily.
Personally, I think it would be a massively wonderful gift to give yourself for the new year: a super powerful hypnotic dose of accelerant for your goals, whatever they may be. Quitting tobacco once and for all, getting in shape, finishing that project, beginning that project, whatever you’re resolving within yourself to do and be for 2011 and beyond. The difference: with hypnosis, the resolve STICKS, long and strong enough to get what you want. How cool is that?
Resolve to make 2011 your best year ever, and begin to realize the control you do have over your life. Over your actions, your habits, your very thoughts.
Warmest Regards,
Connie
