With a background in clinical/psychiatric social work, Dr. Keli has always been dedicated to empowering adults, children, and adolescents to live up to their full potential and remove emotional blocks. Dr. Keli became interested in hypnotherapy because she found that clients were frequently displeased with the results they got from psychotherapy alone. Determined to find more effective and efficient methods to help her clients feel healthier, happier and reach their goals, Dr. Keli started studying and utilizing hypnotherapy instead of traditional psychotherapy — and when she did she was amazed at how clients got so much better so much more quickly! She realized that hypnotherapy is a very powerful, efficient, and effective tool in helping people heal uncomfortable feelings, replace limiting beliefs, behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes with ones that will allow them to make the positive life changes that they have struggled with for so long in the past.
Advanced Hypnotherapy works with the cooperation of the deeper, feeling mind (subconscious mind), where your “buttons are pushed”. If you really want to make significant, long lasting and/or permanent life enhancing changes, you must change your deepest feelings. You are completely conscious and aware of what’s going on during the hypnotherapy process. You are in control and in the “driver’s seat” and Dr. Keli is your guide.
