“THIS WAS LIFE CHANGING. Sheila Gallien, you changed my path in ways I didn’t think possible. I had a very tiny flicker of hope. But that was all I had when I first started. Over these last few months, you healed my mind. You opened up my future path again. You helped me rediscover who I am and who I always was before this trauma. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

Welcome
I’m Sheila Gallien
Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
My life has been dramatically transformed three times: through hypnotherapy, EMDR, and surfing. Hypnotherapy freed me from the prison of tobacco and connected me with the healthiest part of myself; EMDR healed a pattern of abuse and betrayal; the impossible pursuit of learning to surf as an adult tapped me into my power, and my voice. Reflecting on the connection between these transformational experiences, I came to believe that the capacity for change is rooted in the body and the mind – not in our thoughts, or even our intentions. My work is grounded in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and I integrate Somatic Tools including Somatic EMDR, EFT and Functional Breathwork to release trauma and patterns stored in the body. I leave the surfing up to you, but encourage ways to build muscle physically and metaphorically. Through these processes, we tap into your deepest resources, unlock your power, and free your voice.

what clients are saying
“I have tried multiple therapy methods with minimal relief which brought me here. I met with Sheila for my first session and I was immediately emotional which isn’t normal for me. I went into this with minimal expectations, but goodness am I impressed. In completing the first session there was an immediate shift in me, things started clicking and the peace I was searching for finally felt in reach. If you’re thinking of trying this - please do, it’s worth it and your only sadness will be you didn’t start sooner.”
-Brittany B.
“Sheila is great! She is able to assist with a large range of issues, and brings extensive training, experience and wonderful intuition to her practice. Her kind and gentle manner create a supportive and comfortable environment. I’m very pleased with the progress she has helped me with.”
-Sequoya
“I just wanted to thank you for the work we’ve done together over the past couple of months. You’ve truly been a safe place for me to share my thoughts, and I really appreciated how thoughtfully you listened and heard my concerns. Your calm presence and care made each session feel supportive and grounding. I genuinely enjoyed my time working with you and am very grateful for the experience. Thank you so much.”

Hypnotherapy is a research-supported therapeutic approach that guides the mind into a focused, relaxed state, allowing the subconscious to become receptive to new patterns of thought and behavior. Neuroimaging studies have shown measurable changes in brain activity, particularly in regions governing attention, self-awareness, and the connection between mind and body – and yet the client always feels in control. It is this nexus of connectivity and clarity that is the gateway to hypnotherapy –subconscious patterns can be released, and new powerful habits formed. Clinical research has demonstrated its effectiveness for a range of issues including pain management, addiction and smoking cessation, healthy weight, sports performance, overcoming fears and phobias, managing anxiety, and releasing trauma.

"I had a couple of hypnotherapy sessions with Sheila and after each one I noticed profound shifts -- the exact thing we worked on in the session was no longer an issue! I was thrilled with the results and will have more sessions in the future. It's a relaxing and easy (for me) way to shift unhealthy thought patterns, beliefs, and/or attitudes. In addition, Sheila is an intuitive, kind, gentle soul with the ability to navigate you to the best issue to unravel at the time of your session. Highly recommend!"
