My Journey to Hypnotherapy
I’ve always been fascinated by the mind and body connection. After playing tennis at Concordia University in Irvine, I transferred and earned my Psychology degree from Washington State University.
From there I dove into the world of software sales, working internationally and gaining over 7 years of experience in high performance environments.
In 2022 I followed a deeper calling and got certified in Hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), and Timeline Therapy. I later became a Consulting Hypnotist through the National Guild of Hypnotists, a 5 PATH Master Hypnotist, and a 7th Path Self Hypnosis Teacher. I now guide people through powerful subconscious transformations using structured systems that actually work.

My Journey to Hypnotherapy
Outside of sessions you can usually find me cold plunging, meditating, training jiujitsu, doing yoga, working out, or traveling the world to explore new places and perspectives. My work is grounded in real life experience, and I feel confident in my proven 5-path method of transformation.
I’m passionate about guiding others through hypnotherapy, helping them experience the same deep shifts that brought me greater peace, confidence, and freedom in my life. If you’re ready to overcome what’s holding you back, hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to achieve exactly that. Thank you for trusting me to support your transformational journey.

Hypnosis is Mind Control
You are always in control. Hypnosis is a collaborative process that only works if you want it to. You hear every word, feel safe and aware, and decide how you respond. It feels more like guided focus or getting lost in a good story.You stay aligned with your values and fully aware of what's happening.
Only Gullible People Can Be Hypnotized
Hypnosis takes focus, creativity, and a willingness to participate. People who are thoughtful, curious, and motivated often respond best. It is not about being naïve but about being open to change and willing to imagine new outcomes. The process works with your mind, not against it.
You Might Get Stuck and Not Wake Up
You cannot get stuck in hypnosis. If a session ends unexpectedly, you simply return to full alertness like finishing a moment of deep thought.Your senses remain active, and you can move, speak, or open your eyes at any time. Hypnosis often sharpens your focus and clarity rather than dulling it.
Hypnosis is Like Sleep or Unconsciousness
You remain fully aware during hypnosis. You hear what is said, notice physical sensations, and understand what is happening. The experience is often described as a calm, clear, inward focus.You are never unaware or out of touch, and you can stop the process at any moment.
Hypnosis is Unsafe and Unscientific
Hypnosis is a natural and well-researched method used in therapy, medicine, and performance. It has no religious connection and does not conflict with personal beliefs. It helps you access the part of your mind where real change can happen. You are always in charge of your experience, and your beliefs and values are fully respected.

"I totally recommend Van Hypnotherapy if you want to try hypnotherapy in a safe and professional way. If you’re open to the process and ready to invest in your mental well-being, it’s definitely worth it."
-Jan.
Client Success Stories
My series of hypnotherapy sessions with Van were delightful, healing, and allowed me to access hidden parts of myself I was previously unaware of. I was able to express old thoughts and emotions like hurt, anger, sadness, and fear that were stuck in my subconscious mind, weighing me down. After releasing that old baggage and coming to new understandings about myself, my past, my present, and my future, I have a new sense of empowerment and emotional intelligence. While in hypnosis, I was able to feel what a truly loving, supportive, and safe relationship could have felt like with my father, which allowed my inner child to realize that the past was not her fault and that there is nothing wrong with her. She deserves deeply caring, healthy relationships, and she is capable of growing beyond the unawareness and wounds of those who raised her. I highly recommend hypnotherapy for any and everyone as we all have healing and growth we can do. This modality is quick and effective at achieving just that and Van is a great person to guide you there.

Common Questions
Each time you go into hypnosis, it tends to get deeper and more effective. The 5-PATH® method is designed to be a 5-session process that completes a full loop of transformation. Most clients start noticing deep powerful shifts after the first session.
Hypnotherapy is actually more effective over zoom. There is increased comfortability when you can lay down in your own bed or safe space. That comfort helps you go deeper, faster.
I live what I teach. You don’t want to go to a hypnotist who’s smoking outside the office or stuck in the same patterns they’re trying to help you break. You want someone who’s done the inner work physically, emotionally, and mentally. That’s the standard I hold for myself and the work I guide clients through.
Hypnosis has been reported to have up to a 70% effectiveness rate in clinical cases when used consistently with motivated clients for specific addictions and other habits.Where I’m different is in how I work with the 5-PATH® method. It’s a structured, proven approach that goes deeper than subconscious programing that other hypnotherapists use. It goes straight to the root cause of your emotions and rewires you for success.
Regular talk therapy can last years with little to no real change. I’ve talked to countless people struggling with mindset issues or addiction who said therapy made them feel better temporarily, but they still went back to the same patterns.
Hypnotherapy works differently. It rewires your subconscious, where real transformation happens. Traditional therapy only addresses the conscious mind, the tip of the iceberg. But your subconscious drives 99.99996% of your decisions, habits, and emotions. That’s why hypnosis is so powerful.
No… Because real change takes commitment. Every time you go into hypnosis, your mind goes deeper, and the transformation becomes more powerful. I only work with serious clients who are committed to real change. That’s why I use the full 5-PATH® method, which takes at least 5 sessions to fully complete and close the loop. One-off sessions don’t create lasting results. Full transformation requires full follow-through and commitment.
I work with people who are ready for a breakthrough and tired of staying stuck. Most are high performers, creatives, entrepreneurs, or self-aware individuals who know they’re capable of more but feel like something keeps holding them back. That might look like bad habits, limiting beliefs, anxiety, or a lack of clarity or follow-through. They’re not looking for surface-level solutions. They’re ready to go deeper and create real, lasting change.
If someone isn’t fully committed to changing the one thing that’s holding them back, this work probably isn’t the right fit.Yes, absolutely. Everything we discuss in our sessions is kept strictly confidential. Your privacy is a top priority, and I’m committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and honestly. This is your time, and it’s important that you feel fully supported, respected, and secure throughout the entire process.

![Most high-performers ignore their body until it forces them to listen.
I used to battle an autoimmune stomach condition. I tried every diet, supplement, and positive affirmation… nothing worked long-term.
Then I turned inward. Through hypnotherapy, I uncovered the emotional root. I was distracting myself from fear that was rooted in my subconscious. Once I released that fear, my symptoms disappeared.
If you’re a driven leader who knows your health struggles have an emotional component… this work changes everything.
I help leaders heal from the inside out without pills, without guesswork by resolving the subconscious stress your body’s been holding onto.
