Services

Anxiety Relief

Our anxiety relief program uses clinical hypnotherapy to address the root causes of anxiety at the subconscious level. Through guided trance states, clients learn to identify and release limiting thought patterns while developing healthier coping mechanisms. This evidence-based approach helps reduce physical symptoms and emotional distress without medication or invasive treatments.

Weight Management

The natural weight loss program focuses on creating sustainable lifestyle changes through subconscious reprogramming. By addressing emotional eating patterns and improving body-mind connection, clients develop healthier relationships with food and exercise. This approach avoids restrictive dieting while promoting long-term weight maintenance and improved self-image.

Smoking Cessation

Our smoking cessation program addresses both physical addiction and psychological triggers through targeted hypnotherapy techniques. Clients experience reduced cravings and increased motivation to maintain smoke-free living without nicotine replacement therapies. The program includes personalized strategies for managing withdrawal symptoms and preventing relapse.

Depression Treatment

The depression treatment program utilizes hypnotherapy to access and reframe negative thought patterns contributing to depressive symptoms. By enhancing self-awareness and promoting positive emotional states, clients develop greater resilience and improved mood regulation. This complementary approach works alongside traditional mental health treatments.

Public Speaking Coaching

This specialized program addresses performance anxiety and builds presentation skills through subconscious confidence enhancement. Clients learn to manage nervous energy, improve focus, and develop authentic stage presence. The techniques help overcome fear of judgment while enhancing communication effectiveness in professional settings.

I have stopped by and scheduled two 8 week packages in the last decade with services provided by Maude, and more recently Amara. I can confidently say this work has changed my life, and I am forever grateful for the work they have done with me. The idea that a gentle session of hypnotherapy can do so much for your unconscious mind when it comes to breaking through barriers and instilling more self love is so inspiring.

I can't recommend this enough, and I am always willing to recommend these services to others who are seeking further self fulfillment. 12/10 will come again when the time is right. Thank you to the team over at Sacramento Hypnotherapy for all that they do.

I have heard of hypnotherapy for some time now, and over the past 6 months I've been working on my self journey and thought it was time to try this out. I have been in about 7 sessions now with Anna and I feel soo much better and have been more productive than I have been in quite some time. I would definitely recommend Sacramento Hypnotherapy.

I was extremely hesitant about seeing a hypnotherapist, but Ive seen "therapists" for years and they have done very little to help me. My life was a mess, my anxiety prevented me from doing everything, yes everything, it was bad! Maude made me feel very comfortable & relaxed. She was very accommodating & could not have been nicer. I can say since seeing Maude my life has changed drastically for the better.

I still have some anxiety, but now it does not stop me, there are no walls in front of me that I cant knock down! Maude has a gift for helping people and she does her job EXTREMELY well. Maude has one of the kindest souls and is an AMAZING person & hypnotherapist. She knows what she is doing and she really cares about helping other people. I no longer call her my hypnotherapist, I call her my friend :-
