Hypnotherapy in Kona, Hawaii - Virtual and In Person
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 smoking tobacco; EMDR healed a pattern of abuse and betrayal; learning to surf as an adult restored my personal power, and gave me 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 Therapeutic Imagery, and I integrate Somatic Tools including Somatic EMDR, EFT and Functional Breathwork to release old beliefs and patterns stored in the body. (I leave the surfing up to you…) Through these processes, we work together to unwind old patterns, unhook old triggers, and build powerful new practices that serve your best and highest goals in life.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place…

You keep replaying the same stories — about what you did wrong, what they did, what you should have said. The loop runs on its own and you cannot find the off switch.

Your world is shrinking because you have a fear of flying or driving. You’re anxious in social situations, or in open or small spaces.
Most people think hypnosis means losing control. The truth is the exact opposite.
Therapeutic hypnosis brings your conscious and subconscious intentions into alignment, bridging the gap between what you want to do and what you actually do. By connecting your mind, body, and emotions, you experience a much greater sense of control over your choices and your life.
Hypnotherapy is a clinically proven modality with verifiable results for changing addictive behavior, improving sports performance, managing anxiety and pain, eliminating phobias, improving sleep, creating healthy habits, and so much more.
If these anxious behaviors sound familiar, you're in the right place…

You’ve stopped doing things you love, like exploring new places, showing up socially, or playing your best game, because anxiety steals your focus or floods you with panic.

"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!"
