Clinical & Spiritual Hypnotherapy

with Joan Hoedel

I can’t believe I’m even considering hypnotherapy.

But I’ve tried everything else. And something deep inside is still whispering: don’t give up.

Hypnotherapy might not have been your Plan A, but if you’re here, something in you is still hoping. That matters.

If you’ve tried to change, grow, heal, or feel like yourself again, but something keeps pulling you back, this space was made for you.

Maybe it’s time to start asking yourself a different question.

“How Good Can It Get?”

WELCOME


This is a space for honesty, not perfection.
No forced smiles. No pretending you’re fine. No shame for still struggling with the same old pattern.

Maybe most of your life is going well… but there’s one thing you can’t seem to shift.
You’ve read the books. Done the work. Tried to “think positive.”
Maybe it helped for a while, but it didn’t last.
And when the guilt kicks in, it’s easy to wonder if something’s wrong with you.

It’s not you. It’s your subconscious patterns, formed long ago, with the best of intentions.
Hypnotherapy helps you meet those patterns at the root, so real change can begin.
From there, coaching helps you integrate the shifts, so they become part of who you are, not just something you’re trying to remember to do.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
You just have to be willing to go deeper.

WHY YOU STILL FEEL STUCK

If you’ve done the work, but nothing is sticking, this might be why.

You’ve tried to change, break a pattern, shift a habit, follow through on a dream, but something keeps pulling you back.

That “something” isn’t weakness. It’s a subconscious script, written long ago, trying to keep you safe.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Real healing starts below the surface.

In the same way a computer can be upgraded, so too can your brain. You’ve been running an outdated program that no longer fits the version of life you want to be living.

Science tells us that 90-95% of what we do is driven by the subconscious mind.

That means most of your choices, reactions, habits, and even your self-worth were shaped long before you were old enough to choose them.

You've done the conscious work, including therapy, books, and affirmations.

But if the deeper script hasn't been updated, change is nearly impossible.

That's not your fault.

It's just how the brain works.

Hypnotherapy helps you reach that deeper level.

It's safe, natural, and incredibly effective,

because it works with the part of your mind that actually drives behavior.

What to Expect in a Session

So, How Does a Session Work?

We begin where you are, with compassion, presence, and a quiet confidence in what’s possible.

In our first session, we’ll talk.
You’ll help me understand your goals, what you’ve already tried, and why now feels like the right time to try something different.
I’ll teach you how the mind works and explain why all hypnotherapy is really self-hypnosis.

Then, in our next session, we’ll begin the hypnotherapy work.
You’ll set the pace, always.

Gently, you’ll name what hurts.
The habit you can’t break.
The fear that won’t let go.
The heaviness you’re tired of carrying.

In a relaxed, open state of awareness, I’ll guide you to imagine what life will feel like when the problem is gone.
(The mind doesn’t know the difference between real and vividly imagined, so that’s where we begin.)

Along the way, we’ll clear old beliefs—stories that once kept you safe, but now keep you stuck.
Think of your mind like a computer.
Hypnotherapy helps you delete outdated programming and install new, supportive beliefs.

Throughout your process, we’ll integrate coaching to support your healing with reflection, clarity, and course correction when needed.
Clients often say this combination is what makes the work so powerful.

Because together, we don’t just change your thoughts.
We rewrite the story
in your body,
in your beliefs,
in your life.

Ways Hypnotherapy Can Support You

Medical Support

Within every cell lives a quiet intelligence, one that knows how to restore, rebuild, and return to balance. Hypnotherapy helps you listen.

Working in partnership with your medical care, this approach calms the nervous system, eases emotional strain, and awakens the body’s natural ability to heal.

Joan is a board-certified medical support hypnotherapist specially trained to help you enter a deep, receptive state where the mind and body can reconnect.

You are not replacing your doctors. You’re partnering with them.

✨ Issue Resolution

Sometimes, insight isn’t enough. The pattern keeps repeating.

Procrastination. Self-doubt. Dating the same kind of partner. Over-giving until you’re empty. Feeling stuck around money, love, or your worth.

These aren’t just behaviors—they’re outdated subconscious programs.
Hypnotherapy helps shift the emotional imprint that’s been quietly driving the show.

✨ Habits That Feel Bigger Than Willpower

Weight loss, smoking, vaping, and emotional eating aren’t just habits. They’re coping strategies rooted in deeper emotions.

You're not alone; over 70% of smokers (vapers) want to quit, and nearly half of adults try to lose weight each year.
Willpower alone isn’t enough when the real cause lives deeper than logic.

Hypnotherapy helps uncover what’s really driving the pattern.
No shame. No self-punishment. Just the freedom to live in alignment with who you truly are.

✨ Spiritual Hypnotherapy

Some challenges don’t begin in this lifetime.

For those who believe in past lives, this work can open extraordinary doors.

In a safe, guided process, we connect with your Higher Self, spirit guides, and soul wisdom to explore the root causes of patterns that defy logic.

I’ve witnessed profound shifts:

  • Physical conditions resolved

  • Lifelong questions answered

  • Gifts and talents reclaimed

  • Soul contracts understood and updated

  • Life purpose clarified

  • Guidance for life’s challenges and opportunities.

If your heart is drawn to this work, you’re not imagining it. You’re ready.

Your Free Hypnotherapy

Starter Kit

A gentle doorway into deeper calm, clarity, and change

Especially if you feel busy, overstimulated, or unsure how to slow down anymore.

This Starter Kit is a simple, supportive way to begin working with hypnotherapy, whether you’re brand new to the process or preparing for deeper one-on-one work.

Inside, you’ll find a small collection of guided hypnosis recordings designed to help your nervous system slow down, soften, and feel safe enough to rest. Each recording builds a foundational skill: the ability to relax deeply, intentionally, and with trust.

Why this Matters

Hypnosis is a skill. And like any skill, the more you practice, the easier and more natural it becomes.

In a world shaped by constant stimulation, quick dopamine hits, and busy minds, many of us have forgotten how to truly rest. Deep relaxation doesn’t always happen automatically anymore, it often requires gentle, repeated practice.

The more easily and deeply you can relax, the more receptive your mind becomes to positive suggestion and meaningful change. This is where hypnosis works best.

As you practice with these recordings, your body learns how to settle more quickly, your mind becomes less effortful to quiet, and your inner world grows more responsive. When we work together privately, this allows us to move into deeper work sooner, the place where real change happens, with less effort and more ease.

What Makes this Different?

This Starter Kit is not a substitute for one-on-one hypnotherapy or coaching. Instead, it’s a supportive foundation, a way to build familiarity with the hypnotic state, strengthen your capacity for relaxation, and begin creating inner safety and trust.

For some, it’s a gentle place to begin.

For others, it’s a powerful complement to private sessions.

Either way, it helps your system remember something it already knows: how to slow down, soften, and listen.

What You’ll Receive

  • A set of guided hypnosis recordings (20-45 minutes each)

  • Listen as often as you like from your phone or computer.

  • A printable, fillable workbook to support reflection and integration

  • Lifetime access, so you can practice at your own pace, in your own time
