Sleep Issues
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
One of the things that can disrupt sleep is when your nervous system has difficulty moving fully out of 'fight-or-flight', or if it moves too easily INTO fight-or-flight. For example, some people have difficultly falling asleep (their mind is racing with anxiety, or their body feels pumped with energy), while some others wake in the middle of the night, suddenly fully activated.
I'll work with you to help your body learn how to move into a 'rest-and-relax' state, and we'll also work on softening the triggers that might be pushing you into fight-or-flight. If that's what's been keeping you from sleeping well, hopefully you'll start to notice small signs of progess as we work together.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Sleep is the cornerstone of physical health, emotional balance, and mental clarity. Yet millions of people struggle each night due to shift work, irregular schedules, stress, and deeper sleep disorders. Hypnosis offers a gentle yet effective way to support better, more restorative sleep. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and therapeutic suggestions to help calm the nervous system, reframe unhelpful sleep beliefs or patterns, reduce subconscious triggers disrupting rest, and train the mind and body to expect, and achieve, deep sleep.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Whether it’s insomnia, racing thoughts at 3:00 AM, or waking up feeling unrefreshed, poor sleep impacts every facet of your mental and physical health. Sleep issues are often a symptom of underlying stress or poor "sleep hygiene." We address the behavioral and cognitive roots of your restlessness, helping you quiet the mind and implement routines that signal to your body that it is safe to rest.

Sleep Issues
Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Starting many years ago, clients frequently enough reported sleep improvement associated with hypnotherapy, that I routinely began teaching each client sleep preparation techniques through the use of post hypnotic suggestions, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery. The reported benefits associated with doing so have been noteworthy. In this regard, Using Fitbit, Google, and Apple watches, has enabled both me and my clients to document improved sleep. An associated benefit has been a reported increase in dreaming which allows one to vent stressors among other benefits. I only work with diagnosed sleep disorders by way of medical referral.
