About Jessica L. Hanson CHt
My journey with hypnosis began at the age of 13 when I was introduced to a compassionate psychologist & hypnotist named Ruth S Harris.
After the usual evaluations, Ruth told me, “I am not going to do anything to you. I am going to teach you how to heal yourself with hypnosis.”
Through several sessions she helped me learn to cope with: loss, grief, self esteem, public speaking, and confidence; just to name a few. In the process she taught me hypnosis from the ground up, stating, "You will need to know how to do this someday."
I have studied various religions, and several complimentary healing modalities: Kinesiology, Energy Balancing, Essential Oils, Herbalism, and other mind body techniques.
I spent 4.5 years in Florida residing on at non denominational Christian community with people from all over the world, learning how spiritual be(lie)fs affect people and how our own personal be(lie)fs keep us in bondage to an invisible master that we have created in our minds.
During my time in Florida I had a (NDE) near death experience which drove my studies even deeper.
I used the hypnosis lessons from Ruth to recover for the NDE and regain the use of my body.
From this came my fascination with the mind-body connection and how much control, WE as individuals really have over our thoughts, emotions, aches and pains. Hypnosis saved my life!
The modalities of Hypnosis have helped me overcome: grief, sexual assault, and rape - traditional therapy was little to no help in dealing with the aftermath of these things.
After the death of my first husband, I once again turned to hypnosis for help, along with traditional CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy counseling).
I am happily married to a wonderful man, Ron, who is a veteran. We enjoy playing Disk Golf, gardening, cooking, and spending time together indoors and outdoors. We both know the journey of being widowed and live each day fully.
I am able to say from personal experience that, Hypnosis works!
Outside of my hypnosis practice, I am a member of the Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and a Chamber Diplomat.
I am also the owner of a private hypnosis career school.
When I am not seeing clients or teaching students, my husband and I volunteer at two local food shelf's and play disk golf. We do crossword puzzles and I continue to study hypnosis.
The issues I like to work with are: grief, stress, anxiety, unexplained medical problems, personal mystery’s, and life adjustment. Or anything a client comes in the door with!
