Happy Hormones Hypno-Massage

What is Happy Hormones Hypno-Massage?

Happy Hormones Hypno-Massage is a gentle body-mind therapy that combines hypnotherapy, talk therapy, touch therapy, and body therapy techniques to release happy hormones that fight against stress, depression, and anxiety.

What are the four main happy hormones?

The four primary “feel-good” hormones include:

  • Dopamine:  The "pleasure hormone"
  • Serotonin: The “anti-depressant hormone”
  • Endorphins: The “anti-pain hormone” and “runner’s high hormone”
  • Oxytocin:  The “love hormone”

What happens in a Happy Hormones Hypno-Massage Therapy session?

You lie on a padded table, with your choice to be fully-clothed or minimally-dressed for which a light blanket will cover you.

I start off with a hypnotic induction which puts you in a light and enjoyable healing trance.

I focus on areas which include:

  • The head-brain area
  • The heart-brain chest area
  • The abdominal gut feelings area, including liver, spleen, and small intestines
  • The ribs and diaphragm
  • The spinal sacrum
  • The lymphatic drainage system
