View certificate (PDF)About

Shimon's practice is focused on empowering individuals to take control of their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. Sessions are private, paced to the individual, and grounded in a clear methodology.
The work begins with a confidential consultation to understand your context. From there, sessions are structured around your specific goals — never rushed, never one-size-fits-all.
Hypnotherapy is offered as supportive care. It is not a replacement for medical or psychological treatment, and Shimon will openly discuss when other forms of support may serve you better.

Read studyThe Science
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.
