WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HYPNOSIS You've seen the latest news reports, showing the wonderful things people like you can do using the power of hypnosis. These reports range from new mothers delivering babies comfortably, to smokers & overweight people changing their habits easily and naturally, to actors power-charging their performance and abilities, to athletes breaking barriers with superior feats of skill. Hypnosis is fast gaining acceptance as one of the most powerful and beneficial methods known for achieving goals and creating positive change. Hypnosis is a natural state. All of us go in and out of hypnotic states every day. Hypnosis is very safe. You remain in control at all times. It is impossible to be hypnotized to do something which goes against your belief system. And hypnosis is scientific. Its use and study were endorsed by the American Medical Association in 1958. At Laughing Cherub Hypnosis Unlimited & Midwest Professional Hypnosis Associates, we respect the deep inner wisdom of each client. Your journey and choices are honored; we regard ourselves as the trusted way-showers. We hold up the lantern and gently light up the path, guiding you to achieve your desired results.

WHY CHOOSE LAUGHING CHERUB? It is important to select your hypnotherapist with the same care and desire for excellence that you would use choosing a surgeon, an attorney, or any other professional whose work will have impact on your life. Mary Elizabeth Raines has the credentials you are seeking. She is a nationally recognized instructor of hypnosis, a faculty presenter with several highly respected international hypnosis organizations, and a contributor to hypnosis magazines. See What Clients Say for testimonials. Appointments may be made directly with Ms. Raines, or with other expert hypnotherapists who have been trained by her. Each appointment will be a private one-on-one session individually tailored just for you. Should you have an issue which we believe can be better handled by another hypnotherapist, we will refer you. All sessions are confidential. NEW: Telephone Hypnosis! Click for details.

HOW MANY APPOINTMENTS WILL I NEED? We are in the wonderful business of helping people to improve, heal and upgrade! We are also serious about our commitment to achieving results in as few sessions as possible. Hypnosis is not a magical cure-all, however. Nothing is! Repeated sessions are recommended for long-lasting change, since most habits took a period of time to form. Even in today’s quick-fix society, it would be absurd to go to a traditional therapist expecting to be “cured” in just one session. Although hypnosis works much faster, for the most effective results, several sessions are encouraged. The good news is that you will be seeing your hypnotherapist on a very short-term basis. Hypnosis achieves such speedy results because it bypasses the conscious mind and goes right to the subconscious where habits and patterns are stored. One hypnosis session is usually sufficient for: Introductory session to experience hypnosis Deep Relaxation Spiritual exploration Motivation for change Guided imagery Boosting confidence Three to six hypnosis sessions are recommended for: Self-hypnosis Smoking Cessation Long-term Stress Reduction Past-life Regression Deeping Intuition Public Speaking Plastic Surgery Ease Dental Comfort Sports or Performance Imagery Enhancing Acting Abilities Six hypnosis sessions, with follow-ups, are recommended for: Hypnobirthing Insomnia Relief Weight Loss Changing Habits Reversing impotence or frigidity Removing Unreasonable Fears or Panic Reduction of Pain Please note that while hypnosis is very powerful, hypnotherapists are not medical or mental-health specialists. At Laughing Cherub, we often work in conjunction with physicians and therapists. Referrals may be required.

ABOUT OUR FEES FOR OFFICE VISITS The cost of an average hypnosis session is equivalent to that of a visit to a reputable counselor or therapist. (For a surprisingly affordable alternative, please go to our page on telephone hypnosis.) Where some chain hypnosis clinics actually charge their clients huge fees only to have them listen to tapes, while others read the same formula “scripts” to every person, our clients each receive personal sessions individually tailored to their needs, as well as a bonus CD or DVD to keep and use at home as often as they desire. Packages of hypnotherapy sessions are available at a reduced price. After the first six hypnosis sessions, per-session fees are reduced, and regular clients may also opt to come in for a mini-session at a lower rate. A sliding scale is available for low-income clients*. Another budget option is to have a supervised hypnosis session from a student at the Academy for Professional Hypnosis Training in Hollywood. CALL NOW: (920) 867-3900 *Exception: smoking-cessation clients. Income verification may be required.
