Services
Weight Loss Hypnosis
Our weight management program uses clinical hypnosis to reprogram subconscious eating patterns. By addressing emotional triggers and automatic behaviors, clients achieve sustainable weight loss without restrictive diets. The program combines personality profiling with subconscious reconditioning to create natural, long-term changes in food relationships.
Smoking Cessation
This program targets nicotine addiction through subconscious pattern interruption. Using neuro-linguistic programming, we eliminate cravings and rewire mental associations with smoking. Clients report permanent cessation after one session, with no withdrawal symptoms or weight gain through our personalized mental reprogramming approach.
Stress Reduction
Our stress relief program addresses chronic anxiety at its source through neural pathway reconditioning. By targeting subconscious stress triggers, we create lasting mental resilience. The process involves identifying specific stressors and implementing subconscious resource activation to maintain calm under pressure without medication or daily practice.
Sleep Therapy
This sleep restoration program recalibrates natural sleep cycles through subconscious mind engagement. We address racing thoughts and mental hyperarousal patterns that prevent restful sleep. The personalized approach reestablishes natural sleep architecture without pharmaceutical dependence, ensuring both sleep onset and maintenance improvements.
Public Speaking Coaching
Our speaking confidence program eliminates performance anxiety through fear response neutralization. Using mental clarity conditioning, we remove subconscious blocks that cause anxiety symptoms. The process develops authentic presence and consistent mental focus under pressure, transforming communication abilities for professional and personal settings.

Questions
How does hypnosis actually work for habit change?
Hypnosis accesses subconscious patterns that control automatic behaviors. By reprogramming these neural pathways, we create lasting changes in habits like smoking, eating, and stress responses without conscious effort.
Is hypnosis safe and will I remain in control?
Yes, hypnosis is a natural state of focused awareness where you maintain complete control. You'll remain awake and aware throughout sessions, able to accept or reject suggestions at all times during the process.
What's the success rate for smoking cessation?
Our program shows 97% success rate with clients remaining smoke-free after one year, compared to 3% success with traditional methods. This is achieved through subconscious reprogramming rather than willpower-based approaches.
Do you offer virtual sessions for remote clients?
Yes, we provide personalized virtual hypnosis sessions via secure online platform. These sessions maintain the same effectiveness as in-person visits with documented success across all our core programs.
What's included in the free evaluation session?
The 40-minute evaluation includes hypnotic susceptibility testing, personalized program assessment, and a demonstration of our techniques. You'll receive a customized roadmap showing required sessions and expected outcomes for your specific goals.
What guarantees do you offer for results?
We provide a 100% risk-free guarantee: if you don't feel hypnotized after your first session, you'll receive a full refund. Our success-based approach ensures continued support until your goals are achieved.

Benefit greatly from Stress Reduction program. Robert coached me how to build deal with work related stress and build well deserved confidence. While listening to the audio program at home, I saw Robert at least 6 times across couple of months. He's kind enough to offer me additional follow-up sessions. I greatly appreciate the program and I am glad I have Robert to help me find peace and confidence within myself.

I am glad I used the Bay Are Hypnosis Center to stop biting my nails because I am able to relax automatically as I unconsciously start becoming stressed. I am more content to be able to live in the present and not worry about the future or try to re-live

: I feel I've taken control back. I'm living a healthier life. Eating better, more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and much less junk. I'm exercising regularly again and look forward to it. I enjoy the relaxing feeling I get from listening to the weight loss CD's. I feel well on my way to living my life as an active, healthy slender individual.

I have had some folks asking how much it costs to see Mr Harrison. I will say that I smoked 2-3 packs a day and I saved the cost of his service in a couple of months. Not cheap, but it did work so now I save $3200.00 a year and I have a better quality of life. I see it as a win/ win situation. Call Mr Harris for up to date information, he is very up front about his fees.

I am so glad I chose to do the weight loss program at the Bay Area Hypnosis Center. Since January of last year I have lost a total of 51 lbs! Everything is going well for me. I do have an injured foot but that has not stopped me from my desired walking! I am excited to go see friends and family that have not seen me in 4-7 years. Life is wonderful!

I am glad I used the Stop Smoking Instantly Program to become a non-smoker because I really wanted to quit smoking. I knew it was better for my health, society and perhaps a positive influence for my children and grandchildren.
