It’s 2:47 AM. Again.
You’re staring at the ceiling, willing yourself to sleep. You tried deep breathing. You tried counting backward from 100. You even tried that sleep meditation app everyone recommends.
Nothing.
Your body is exhausted. Your brain? Wide awake. Racing thoughts about tomorrow’s meeting, that conversation you should have handled differently, the endless to-do list waiting when you wake up. And then the thoughts about things you don’t talk about.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And here’s what you need to know: this isn’t a sleep problem. It’s a nervous system problem.
Why “Just Relax” Doesn’t Work
Your conscious mind knows you need sleep. You’ve read the articles. You understand sleep hygiene. You know screen time before bed is bad.
But your deeper mind – the part actually running your nervous system – is still on high alert. Maybe it learned years ago that nighttime isn’t safe. Maybe it’s still processing stress from decades past. Maybe it’s using racing thoughts to keep you from feeling something uncomfortable.
Understanding the problem isn’t the same as solving it.
This is why talk therapy helps you understand your sleep issues – but doesn’t always fix them. This is why sleep apps work for a few nights, then stop. This is why you can be utterly exhausted and still can’t fall asleep.
The deeper layers of your mind haven’t gotten the message: it’s safe to rest now.
What This Workshop Actually Does
On November 14th at 4:00 PM, we’re hosting a 90-minute workshop that addresses sleep at the level where the problem actually lives – your deeper mind.
You’ll learn:
The Transformation Formula for Sleep
Why your brain creates racing thoughts at bedtime (and how to quiet them at the source, not just manage them).
The Alpha Sequence
My signature 5-step method for dropping into deep rest in minutes. You’ll practice this live, so you can use it at home every night.
Why Your Nervous System Is Still “On”
Most sleep issues aren’t about sleep at all. They’re about a nervous system that never learned it’s safe to fully relax. We’ll work with that directly.
Rapid-Relief Tools You Can Use Tonight
The 2-Breath Hypnosis technique (20 seconds) for when your mind starts racing at 3 AM. The body-first approach that bypasses thinking entirely.
This isn’t a lecture about sleep. You’ll experience a live hypnosis session designed specifically for deep rest. Most people feel noticeably calmer by the time they leave.
What You’re Getting
Every participant receives:
- Live hypnosis session for deep rest (you’ll feel the difference immediately)
- Sleep Transformation Playbook (the same framework from this workshop, in writing)
- Hypnosis recording download for practice at home (repetition builds the neural pathway)
- Tools you can use tonight (2-Breath Hypnosis, Alpha Sequence)
The workshop plants the seed. The recording helps it take root. Practice at home makes it permanent.
Who This Workshop Is For
Perfect if you:
- Fall asleep fine, but wake at 2-3 AM with racing thoughts
- Lie awake for hours, exhausted but unable to sleep
- Rely on sleep aids (melatonin, medications, apps) that stopped working
- Know you’re tired, but your body won’t let you rest
- Understand your sleep issues perfectly – but can’t fix them
Not right if you:
- Have severe sleep apnea or medical sleep disorders (see a doctor first)
- Need intensive trauma work around nighttime (private sessions would be better)
Why Hypnosis Works When Everything Else Hasn’t
Sleep medications make you unconscious. They don’t teach your nervous system how to rest.
Sleep apps give you something to focus on. They don’t address why your mind races in the first place.
Talk therapy helps you understand the problem. But understanding doesn’t rewire your nervous system.
Hypnosis works at the level where sleep actually happens – the deeper layers of your mind that control your nervous system, your stress response, and your ability to feel safe enough to let go.
One client came in after 10+ years of sleep issues. Couldn’t fall asleep. Couldn’t stay asleep. Had tried everything – medications, CBT for insomnia, every app and supplement.
We worked on the root cause: a part of her still on high alert from childhood, scanning for danger even decades later. We gave that part new information. By session three, she was sleeping through the night. By session five, it was automatic.
That’s not willpower. That’s rewiring.
What Happens After the Workshop?
This workshop gives you the foundation. If you want to go deeper:
REWIRED: 6-Week Group Program
Small groups (12 max), weekly sessions, custom recordings, and root cause work that makes change permanent. For chronic sleep issues, anxiety, habits, and stress.
Private Sessions
One-on-one work for complex sleep issues, trauma-related insomnia, or when you need faster, more personalized results.
But you don’t need to decide that now. Come to the workshop. Experience what hypnosis actually feels like. See if it works for you.

Common Questions
Q: Will I lose control or do embarrassing things?
A: No. Hypnosis is focused attention, not unconsciousness. You’re aware the entire time. You won’t do or say anything you don’t want to.
Q: What if I can’t be hypnotized?
A: Everyone can be hypnotized – it’s just focused attention. If you’ve ever been absorbed in a movie or driven somewhere without remembering the drive, you’ve been in hypnosis.
Q: Will this fix my sleep in one session?
A: Many people sleep better that night. Some need more repetition. The workshop gives you the tools – how fast you use them depends on your specific situation. Think of it as planting the seed. The recording helps it grow.
Q: I’ve tried hypnosis apps and they didn’t work.
A: Apps are passive listening. This is active, personalized work addressing YOUR specific nervous system. Very different experience.
Q: Do I need to believe in hypnosis for it to work?
A: No. Skepticism is fine. Your nervous system will respond whether you believe it will or not.
