“Where woundedness can be refined into beauty a wonderful transfiguration takes place.”

What is Depth Hypnosis?
Depth Hypnosis is a powerful and effective form of somatic, spiritual counseling that can help people struggling with a wide variety of challenges. This work is especially helpful for seasons of life where we feel stuck, hopeless, or out of balance. Depth Hypnosis can be helpful with the following:
Anxiety, depression, addiction, disordered eating, codependency, debilitating fears, and phobias
Changing habits and breaking cycles
Strong, inner critical voice, critical parents, low self-esteem, ending toxic or abusive relationships, recovering from a breakup
Chronic or mysterious illness or pain
Getting a better understanding of dreams
Unresolved trauma or PTSD
General growth and renewed connection to one’s inner guidance.
Depth Hypnosis was developed by Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D., founder of The Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkley, CA. It combines transpersonal psychology with elements of Applied Shamanism, Buddhist psychology, energy medicine, hypnotherapy, and other modalities. It's based on the understanding that the root cause of many physical, psychological and emotional issues is often buried deep within the subconscious mind, and that by accessing this deeper level of awareness, we can gain profound insights and make meaningful changes in our lives.

“In Depth Hypnosis, because of the creative use of an altered state, there is the beautiful opportunity for us to be able to let go of ourselves and experience that sense of freedom and spaciousness, within which we can then begin to reconnect parts of ourselves that are somehow misaligned.”
– Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D.Testimonials

"Leslie’s professional direction and reassuring personality create an impressive, perfectly balanced healing space. I am allowed the autonomy to flow through the healing experience in the ways that my mind and body need and want, but she also knows when and how to challenge and push in gentle yet assertive ways. I never know what might come up in each session, but I pretty much always leave with much to reflect on, having had profound healing experiences." -NH

“I had never had any type of Depth Hypnosis before seeing Leslie. She made me feel very comfortable and led me through each session with confidence and support. I had some really cool breakthroughs, and never left without feeling a sense of peace and healing. There were things that showed up in our sessions that I had never thought of or discovered before. I highly recommend Leslie for this type of healing, and I can’t wait to continue my journey with her.” -KM
Let’s Work Together
This process starts with a free 20 minute consultation, where you will learn more about working together, share your goals, and ask questions.
Sessions typically last 60-75 minutes and are held in-person or via video call. Depth Hypnosis is an experiential process and each session can look quite different. Clients are actively involved in the process of discovery and transformation. This process is very different from traditional talk therapy and we suggest that clients begin with three sessions to assess whether this modality is a good fit for them. Read this article for what to expect in the first session.
