Pediatric Hypnosis for Kids: Real Relief for Anxiety, Fears, and Phobias
If you’re reading this, you’ve likely tried everything to help your child—endless advice, doctor visits, maybe even sleepless nights searching “how do I help my child’s anxiety?” online. You are not alone. Thousands of families are discovering a fresh, science-backed approach parents once overlooked: hypnosis for kids.
“Will this really help my child?”
That’s the question I hear most—and as an integrative hypnotist trusted by families and local professionals alike, my answer is a heartfelt yes: when nothing else has worked, or as a first gentle step, hypnosis can help your child break free from anxiety, fears, sleep challenges, and stubborn habits that steal their confidence.
Trusted by Local Pediatricians
For over a decade, a respected local pediatrician has referred her young patients to me—because she’s seen firsthand the real, gentle results hypnosis can bring to children and families facing anxiety, fears, or sleep struggles.
What Is Children’s Hypnosis? (It’s Not What You Think)
Forget the swinging watches and TV “mind control.” Real pediatric hypnosis is simply focused attention, deep relaxation, and imagination—tools your child already uses every day! In a safe, playful session designed just for their needs, I guide kids (and teens) to:
Calm their bodies and minds—even in tough moments.
Rewire anxious thoughts and negative self-talk.
Build confidence, coping skills, and resilience.
Sessions always feel supportive, non-scary, and full of kid-friendly stories, metaphors (“Velcro for worries…Play-Doh brains!”), and laughter. Your child never surrenders control—they gain it.
Why Parents Choose Hypnosis for Child Anxiety, Fears, and More
Does any of this sound familiar?
Your child struggles with bedtime, fears, or phobias (dogs, dark, school, shots).
You’ve exhausted talking, therapy, or “just relax!” reminders.
School or life stress is impacting sleep, family peace, or your child’s confidence.
You want something safe, drug-free, and proven to work—even for sensitive or skeptical kids.
Research and real-life results show: hypnosis for child anxiety, fears, and sleep problems is one of the fastest, most effective routes to relief. Many families see noticeable changes in just a few sessions—and pediatricians trust it enough to regularly recommend my practice to their own patients.

Comfort first: Sessions are warm, creative, playful and tailored to your child’s unique temperament and imagination.
You’re involved: I welcome parent input and explain every step.
Tools for home: Beyond the session, I teach easy, science-based calming techniques your family can keep using for ongoing success.
And if money’s an issue, know this: my practice offers sliding fee options—because every parent should have access to hope.
