Hypnosis and healing with Stephanie Dalfonzo

Unlock Confidence, Focus, and Peak Performance—On and Off the Field

Is your child struggling with performance anxiety, nerves before a game, or a “mental block” in sports? As parents, you want your kid to enjoy their sport, thrive under pressure, and bounce back from setbacks with resilience. Hypnosis isn’t a magic trick—but it's a science-based tool trusted by athletes and families to build powerful mindset skills from the inside out

Real Results: From Stressed to Confident

Recently, I’ve been working with young athletes—including two 10-year-old baseball players—helping them boost focus, shake off mistakes, and play with confidence. These skills don’t just improve sports performance—they translate to school, friendships, and everyday challenges.

Why Hypnosis for Child Anxiety and Phobias?

Having raised my own two “grown and flown” kids, I know firsthand how parenting brings out both our fiercest protectiveness and our deepest worries. I’ve been in your shoes—the sleepless nights, the searching for answers, the hope that your child will finally feel calm and confident. That’s why I’m so passionate about providing solutions that actually help, not just for other families, but because I’ve needed them myself.

  • Recommended by local pediatricians for children with anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and persistent stress.

  • Effective for kids and teens—even if nothing else has worked.

  • Safe, child-friendly approach: Sessions designed for your child’s age, interests, and comfort level.

  • Quick relief from anxiety, specific fears (like flying, shots, or school), sleep challenges, and emotional stress.

  • Parent-focused guidance: You’ll be included and supported at every step, with honest communication and sliding scale rates available.

How Does Sports Hypnosis Help Kids?

Reduces performance anxiety: Calm nerves before big games or competitions. Improves focus and concentration: Stay “in the zone” no matter what’s happening around them. Builds confidence: Banish negative self-talk and fear of failure—retrain the mind for success. Enhances recovery: Get past injuries, setbacks, or slumps with a resilient mindset. Supports teamwork and leadership: Learn healthy responses to wins, losses, and group dynamics
