My name is Debbie Lane and I am a hypnotherapist, certified in integrative hypnosis and medical hypnosis. My early career included teaching reading to students with special needs. I moved to preschool education, moving from a classroom teacher to Director of centers and eventually the Vice President of a national childcare group.
Working with secondary students who had behavioral issues and then the little ones helped to encourage my curiosity about how we cultivate some of our worst habits. It seemed to me that so many people were hurting and I felt called to help guide them through to relief. I took my first class in hypnosis and as I often say, “it was love at first trance”.
Using a combination of hypnosis, Organic hypnosis™ and neuro-linguistic programing my clients have created tremendous changes in their lives. It is rewarding to know that when the client leaves my office they feel better than when they arrived. People will ask me about my favorite hypnosis sessions. That is a trick question as they all are! It certainly was intriguing to successfully work with the Hiccup Chick and every pack of cigarettes that isn’t sold because of hypnosis thrills me.
I think however, the call I got from a young man who saw me about his stuttering was the best. He had stuttered since he was 3 years old and was about to go off to college. He so wanted to go and “fit in” without the stuttering. Well, we discovered what had started the stuttering and changed it around for him. He stopped stuttering completely in 3 sessions. His call to me came after he was on campus for a month. He just had to tell me (with tears choking him up) that NO ONE on campus knew he stuttered. I reminded him that was because he no longer did. I hung up and cried tears of gratitude. ~Debbie Lane
