Who This Is For
Quiet support for what you're working through
Hypnotherapy with Shimon is suited for individuals navigating one or more of the following:
Anxiety & Stress
Smoking & Vaping
Fear & Compulsive Patterns
Behavioral Habits
Services
Focused support, paced to you
Each engagement is shaped around the individual. The areas below are common starting points — not the only ones.
Anxiety & Stress
Work through the patterns of thought and physical response that keep anxiety active. Learn to respond differently to stressors over time.
Smoking & Vaping
Address the underlying habit loop alongside the physical reliance. Support lasting change rather than short-term suppression.
Fear & Compulsive Patterns
Gently approach fears and compulsive behaviors in a calm, structured environment — at your pace, with full agency.
Behavioral Habits
Examine the habits that no longer serve you. Build awareness and create space for new responses to take root.
Hypnotherapy is supportive care. It is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment. Outcomes vary by individual and by engagement.
How Sessions Work
A simple, structured path forward
Three clear steps. No surprises. You stay in control throughout.
01
Consultation
A confidential conversation to understand your goals, context, and what you'd like to change. No pressure — this is where we determine fit.
02
Personalized Session
Guided hypnotherapy tailored to the individual. Sessions are calm, structured, and paced to what feels safe and useful for you.
03
Ongoing Progress
Reinforce and support change over time. Sessions are scheduled around your needs — not a rigid program.

The Theory of Mind
The human mind can be compared to an iceberg. The Conscious Mind — our logic, willpower, and analytical thinking — is merely the tip, representing only about 10% of our mental power.
Beneath the surface lies the massive Subconscious Mind (90%). This is where our habits, emotions, long-term memories, and protective mechanisms reside. It's the engine room of our behavior.
"Hypnotherapy works by bypassing the 'Critical Factor' — the filter between conscious and subconscious — allowing positive suggestions to take root where real change happens."
When you try to change a habit with willpower alone, you are fighting the 10% against the 90%. Hypnosis aligns both parts of your mind, making change natural and effortless.
