Achieve Life-Changing Results with Vancouver Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis makes change easier!

Unlock your full potential. Our team of experienced consulting hypnotists is here to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals with ease. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, smoking cessation, or weight loss, we make the process faster and more effective.

Why Choose Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis taps directly into your subconscious mind—the source of your habits, fears, and beliefs. If you’ve ever felt stuck or experienced self-sabotage, your subconscious could be holding you back.

With hypnotherapy, you don’t need to rely solely on willpower. Instead, hypnosis helps align your subconscious with your conscious goals, making change smoother and more sustainable—even if you’ve tried and failed before.

Most of our Vancouver clients report feeling motivated, focused, and more in control after just a few sessions!

How Effective is Hypnosis?

Studies show that hypnotherapy produces lasting results faster than traditional therapies. Take a look at this comparative study from American Health Magazine:

  • Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions
  • Behaviour Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions
  • Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions

Are Sessions Covered by Insurance?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions. While hypnotherapy is not typically covered by extended health insurance in Vancouver, some psychologists or social workers may include it in their services. If you explore this option, be sure to ask how often they use hypnosis in their practice.

Our sessions are conducted by professional consulting hypnotists who specialise in this modality and use it consistently to deliver results.

(Google Review) It’s hypnosis like you think. It’s a nice relaxed state that you can get up and leave at any time. I have tried all other ways to quit smoking with nothing working. I did this once, threw my pack of smokes out the window and haven’t had one since. Don’t get me wrong. I do crave them here and there but they are so much more tolerable. Everyday isn’t a fight. Just a few minutes here and there. Maybe 3 times a day. I haven’t had a cigarette in 9 weeks now and I know I will never have one again.

I used to be challenged by anxiety around food, what I was eating, when I was eating, how I was eating etc.

During my sessions I was experiencing really positive change in my habits, noticing how much energy wasn't being expended on anxieties I was having.

Hypnosis is an incredibly interesting tool that helped me tweak and change fundamental habits that I've had since childhood. It seems to have helped me tap into my subconscious and rewire how I process things. Don't be sceptical, be open and give it a try.

(Google Review) Kary treated me for a condition I had struggled with for many year. After a few sessions, I noticed a marked improvement and by the end of my treatment plan I was 100%. It felt like a miracle.

I cannot recommend Vancouver Hypnotherapy and Kary highly enough!

(Google Review) I used to be a hothead with a short trigger temper. I was recommended to see Parisa and try it out. After the intro session, I knew this was where I wanted to be. After 5 sessions, my life has improved significantly. I still get angry, I'm not perfect, but now I am more aware of that anger and slower to react. Thanks Parisa and Vancouver Hypnotherapy.

I have felt like a “dirty” smoker for years. I’ve tried to quit but have never truly been able to turn it away. I couldn’t go 2 Hours without cigarettes or nicotine (gum, patches). I went as a smoker in to see Kary. After 2.5 hours I walked out a non smoker. No real massive cravings, no willingness to cheat. To ensure it stuck I went for the follow up after 2 weeks. While I’m not 100% positive I needed it, it felt good to reinforce. This morning I talked with 2 smokers in the parking lot. No desire to smoke. It’s just something I “used” to do. I’ve tried for 40 years to quit. This works. I HIGHLY recommend it. I was a skeptic. I’m glad I challenged my biases.

I stopped snacking in the evening all together

Thank you so much for literally changing my life. I came in to address my weight and weight-loss problems and I left there with so much confidence and joy, I can't even explain how thankful I am and how amazing Vancouver Hypnotherapy is. They completely fixed the way I think about food, how habits can affect me and my emotional eating. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Your Health Is Worth It!

I thought I'd never quit, I thought I'd always still want to smoke, I thought it'd be stressful. I'm proud to say I'm well over a 100 days clean. You can do it too!! In the end it was me that quit smoking and it was Vancouver Hypnotherapy that gave me the tools to do it, and they did it in a few hours.

You're health is worth it, being that version of yourself you want to be is worth it

I always tell them that hypnotherapy worked for me

You helped me with a couple of issues with the two in-person sessions we had and the mp3 s you sent me. When I talk to people I always tell them that hypnotherapy worked for me and relay your name etc. etc. They say word of mouth is a Company’s best advertising…

Your willingness to go the extra mile to meet with me to suit my schedule, your professional manner and genuine character were much appreciated.

(Google Review) I transitioned from smoking cigarettes to vaping 6 years ago trying to break my 35 year nicotine addiction, but was then unable to stop vaping. I finally decided to try hypnotherapy after failing with all other methods, and have been blown away. I met Kary and with only one session I have not touched a vape or any nicotine products in two weeks, and I feel confident that I will be able to maintain a nicotine free life from now on. I highly recommend!

Things were out of my control before my sessions.

How has life improved? In every way. My business is thriving. I’ve lost weight. My relationships have improved. I’m swimming faster.

If you really want it to work, Kary will make it happen.

Chocolate and sweets have always been my biggest weakness, and has contributed to my weight gain and inability to break free from this addiction.

I believe in alternative therapies and was willing to try hypnosis to see if it would help me. After only one session I could already see the results. I could pass by a counter full of chocolate desserts and had no desire to grab something as I would have in the past. It has been several weeks now and I no longer crave chocolate. I also approach my meals with more mindfulness and this has made a difference in weight control.

If anyone is considering hypnosis but is hesitating, I would strongly encourage you to try it. It’s nothing like what we see on stage shows where people are made to do silly things. It is a very relaxing experience, similar to a meditative state filled with positive affirmations. You are always in control and there is nothing to be fearful of. I highly recommend Vancouver Hypnotherapy. 5 stars +

(Google review) Is it a magical cure all? No.
Is it a thoughtful type of therapy? Yes.
I’d recommend checking it out if you’ve tried talk therapy and are looking for something a bit different.

(Google Review) I approached Kary at a time when I was going through a major transition in my life. I had just moved into a new part of the city and at the same time, I was also embarking on a major career change. I was experiencing symptoms of stress and anxiety, which were impacting my physical health. Kary’s warm, empathetic approach combined masterful hypnotherapy with practical wisdom. She supported me in taking practical bite-sized steps to help me solve my challenges at the core. After each session, I felt more courageous, more calm and grounded and empowered to make the necessary changes to bring me back into a state of balance and wellbeing. I would highly recommend Kary’s incredible support to anyone committed to changing their life for the better.

This is going to change your life.

It's been more than 21 days of being a non smoker. The cravings are completely gone. I even surprised myself to remain smoke free this whole time! I can’t believe it! My favorite part of being a non smoker is not smelling like an ashtray and of course staying alive and healthy for my children. But really, I smell gooood!

I was vaping and couldn't stop cold turkey. I really didn't enjoy smoking or vaping and was ready to stop, but couldn't get past my triggers which were drinking alcohol or when stressed.

Life is so much better without smoking or vaping! I feel really accomplished and when I see someone smoking I feel so great that I'm not doing that any more. Also, a week after my session I decided to try sobriety which has been fantastic as well. I believe I was able to utilize the new pathways in my brain that Parisa made to stop smoking/vaping to stop drinking too, I feel incredible!

First off, I've waited 5 weeks before writing this review. So I've been living smoke/vape free for 5 weeks and alcohol free for 4 weeks. Beyond some light cravings for smokes in the first 3 days I've only felt joy and positivity when reminded of smoking or drinking. I feel incredible. The reason I believe this therapy has worked so well for me is that I was VERY done with vaping/smoking and later drinking. So if you're not feeling highly motivated to quit, I wouldn't try this therapy. Also I'd like to mention that Parisa was incredible, hard to recommend someone more, thanks Parisa!!

(Google review) I was a smoker of a pack a day for over 25 years. After trying different methods over the years to quit, I finally decided to try hypnotherapy. I contacted Kari and she was great with answering all my questions. And although it took me over 8 months to book with her, she never pestered me to book a session and let me do it when I was ready. Both my partner and I booked our sessions and it was the best thing we did. The session was comfortable and relaxed and we both left feeling confident in our ability to remain smoke-free. Kari was fabulous. Months later, we are still smoke free, and although I remember smoking and the feeling, I have not had a desire to put a cigarette in my mouth since I left Kari's office. Truly the best decision ever made and I am so thankful for Kari and Vancouver Hypnotherapy!

(Google Review) I highly recommend working with Kary. I always leave each session feeling refreshed and light, as if I've hit a reset button. Her sessions have been incredibly helpful, and I'm truly grateful to have found her ✨

After one session I have not had a cigarette since.

I didn't think I'd be able to quit smoking without help. I had 2 cigarettes in a short time before my appointment with Vancouver Hypnotherapy but after one session I have not had a cigarette since. I have been smoke-free for about 18 months, it is no longer draining my health or bank account.

My demanding job had me constantly stressed, dreading work, and reacting poorly to everyone. I was on the verge of quitting. But after just a few sessions with Kary, I began to feel more positive and could handle work situations calmly.

Even during the busy season, I now maintain a positive mindset without letting stress take over. Hypnotherapy helped me manage my stress quickly—I always felt happier after each session.

Just try it. It really works!

I was struggling so much with IBS symptoms related to stress. This led to persistent inflammation which was very detrimental to my health, both physically and emotionally.

I regularly listen to the hypnotherapy sessions, that Kary shared with me, to calm and centre my subconscious mind. This has been so life changing for me!

Kary taught me how powerful the subconscious mind is in self-healing. Thanks to the techniques I learned, I now manage stress far better - even when facing a challenging cancer prognosis.

(Google Review) I reached out to Kary because I had been dealing with a fear of choking. The problem started about 1-1/2 years ago but had recently gotten much worse to the point that I had actually gotten something caught in my throat and couldn't breath. I went to my doctor and she sent me for a few tests including a camera downy my throat to check for physical conditions that could be causing this, but found nothing.

I really didn't know what to do, but a friend suggested I look into alternate solutions so I reached out to Kary.
It has been 1 full week since my session and I feel like I have my life back. I have NOT had any problems or fears since meeting with Kary.
Thank you so much ❤️
