hypnosis helps

to see your world differently
free your body & mind

Hi I'm Keri and I'm excited to get to know you. I've been a practicing hypnotist for just over 20 years and have been astounded at the lasting positive changes it can effect in people's lives in such short time.

Consider your mind to be like a glacier. The conscious mind represents the very tip of the iceberg. It controls our logical mind, everyday living & functions. It's very analytical, critical & certainly crucial to the overall processing of life itself; however, many times it can cause us to 'get stuck in our own head' despite only representing less than 10% of the actual mind.

The subconscious mind represents the remaining 90% of the glacier under the surface. It is the greater, more emotional & intuitive mind that drives our behavior & underlying beliefs as to how the world works & our place in it. The subconscious controls & initiates every major system in the body & stores all memories from our childhood.

Hypnosis allows us to tap into the powerhouse of our subconscious. Yours is what is running the show in your life despite barely being aware of it. Think about mindless reactions you have to situations in your life: Sweaty palms & heart palpitations when boarding an airplane, lighting a cigarette after a meal, snacking while watching TV even though you're not hungry, getting stuck in the same type of relationship patterns over and over. Your conscious mind does not think about these actions or reactions, they seem to just automatically happen.

In hypnosis we'll combine investigative & introspective inducing conversational techniques, deep relaxation and focusing exercises to calm and subdue the conscious mind so that it takes a less active role in your thinking process. In this state, you're still aware of what's going on, but your conscious mind takes a backseat to your subconscious. Effectively, this allows us to work directly with the subconscious. It's akin to opening a control panel inside your brain; making you the master of your own universe & fully directing your life experience.

Monday & Wednesdays 12-7

I'm currently booking out between 2-3 weeks. If you fill in this form, please text 8602220964 after you've sent a message. Sometimes this form is delayed.

Initial Consultation - $60

After a brief phone conversation you will receive some paperwork that will help me better understand your current situation. During the consultation we will review your intake information in detail, I'll tell you a bit about myself and how hypnosis can help you specifically. You can generally expect to plan on spending between 45-60 minutes. ONLINE OR IN PERSON

3 months of evolutionary coaching - $1800

6 intensive sessions plus in between session contact to provide guidance and support via direct messaging (video, talk, text). Especially for those that value & benefit from accountability & external motivation ONLINE OR IN PERSON

Single Issue Resolution - $950 (typically up to 4 sessions)

During our time together we will determine what has been holding you back from having what you want in your life ( &/or eliminating what you no longer want) and how best to create the effortless & natural motivation to do what it take to make it happen (or stop happening). You can expect significant shifts to unfold after the first session (and in many cases only 2 or 3 meetings are called for before complete resolution is attained). Sessions typically last between 45-90 minutes, however, we don't watch the clock, we simply create the safety and environment to allow your unconscious mind to connect to the "Ah-Ha's" that enable rapid, transformative, positive & lasting change. Your success and satisfaction is my only priority. I only accept clients I have complete confidence I can help. ONLINE OR IN PERSON

What exactly is hypnosis?

Simply put, hypnosis is a state of highly focused attention or concentration, sometimes associated with relaxation & heightened intuition. During our sessions you will be gently guided to higher and clearer thinking capabilities that will give you the ah-ha moments and motivation to do whatever is you need or want to do, or possibly stop doing the things you currently can’t seem to control.

Do you accept insurance?

In most cases, no. However there are a few instances where your insurance may agree to cover your sessions (see below). Despite being one of the most effective support and healing mechanisms to address addiction, trauma, & anxiety, hypnotherapy is still considered to be as an 'alternative' therapy by the powers that be. You might be able to attain coverage if you are seeking help directly from a licensed clinician (psychologist, LMFT) who is trained in hypnosis, however I don't hold those credentials. There is also a chance that your insurance may cover our work together if your doctor or therapist recommends hypnosis as an adjunct to your care. You would need to check first. I AM able to accept payment from Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) & can provide documentation for your reimbursement if you hold one. All that being said, this is the type of modality that generally gets the best results when clients are fully committed - emotionally & financially to the process.

Can I pay in installments instead of all at once?

No. This is for several reasons. Firstly, after years of trial & error, I've found that when clients fully commit & pay up front, they are more dedicated to the work it requires to get their desired end result. Pulling the financial band-aid off all at once generally frees people's minds up to focus fully on the process instead of thinking how much they still owe. I've also encountered a few clients who decided to abandon our commitment because the first session 'didn't work' (sometimes it takes more than one). I realize it's a big investment for most people. It's worth it.

will hypnosis make me do something I don't want to?

All hypnosis is self guided. You cannot be forced to do something outside of your will. Any and all suggestions are prompted by you. You will not divulge any secrets or do anything you are not normally willing to do.

How can hypnosis help me?

Hypnosis has great success in helping to alleviate
- stress
- trauma
- excessive fear
- limiting beliefs
- anxious feelings
- unwanted habits (over eating, smoking, nail biting)

Are you sure I can be hypnotized?

The vast majority of people can. In fact if you've ever been immersed in a film and found yourself startled by a scary part or laughing during a funny part then you've had a hypnotic experience. During hypnosis you will simply be focusing your attention and allowing yourself to suspend conscience beliefs and ideas while opening up to the possibility and acceptance of better ones that will vastly improve your life. I can assure you that you will enter into & benefit from hypnosis in a clinical setting as long as you are willing and motivated to do so.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?

Absolutely not. Hypnosis is a natural and altered state of mind that can be terminated as easily as opening one's eyes or diverting your attention somewhere else. You will always be in complete control throughout the entirety of our work together.

How many sessions will I need?

It's your subconscious mind in the drivers seat so it's impossible for me to know for sure. The vast majority of my clients experience significant shifts in relationship to their issue after the first session. For some, another one or two meetings will help to completely clarify and solidify the change. The general agreement we'll make is for 4 sessions - although that many are generally not needed. That being said, I only work with people I have extreme confidence I can help (hence our initial free phone conversation) & if you require more than 4 we'll work it out. My goal is to help you resolve your issue as quickly as possible, therefore I do not charge session fees, but rather a flat solution fee.

Why can't I find you on Social Media?

I don't maintain a very active social media presence primarily because I find it trite, disingenuous and quite frankly a waste of time. I prefer to connect with people directly, sincerely and personally. Additionally I've found it more beneficial to spend my working hours interviewing potential clients, reviewing notes on current ones and contemplating what strategies I'll utilize to help them to upgrade their life experience.

Why can't I just pay for a session with you? Where is your purchase page?

I hate wasting my time and that of others. I purposely hide my 'buy now' page from the public pages of my website because I want to be able to first speak with people interested in working with me before they commit. Once we've spoken and I've determined that I can indeed be of service I'll provide you with a link where you can make the investment.

Are there any issues you don't work on?

I know from nearly 20 years of personal and professional experience that hypnosis can help with nearly any issue the human mind can conjure up. That being said, I am committed to stay in my lane when it comes to mental health services and interventions so if you have been diagnosed with a psychological condition &/or are seeing traditional mental health provider I will likely need to consult with them to mutually ascertain if hypnosis would be of benefit in certain cases.

Also, I do not work with insomnia or severe sleep issues 😴 as I unfortunately seem to suddenly begin suffering from sleep deprivation almost immediately after accepting such clients. Empathy overload perhaps 🥺

Can I make an appointment for my wife/husband/son/daughter/friend?

Generally no. In order to be effective, this type of work requires that the client
1.) considers the issue in question to be a genuine problem FOR THEM (your belief that it is doesn't factor in)
2.) is committed to the process

In cases where a parent is calling on behalf of their minor child, I do allow for them to book in ONLY AFTER SPEAKING to the child directly first. If you have a loved one that you think will benefit from hypnosis, please provide them with a link to my website & encourage them to contact me directly (text is best).

How does this differ from the group hypnosis seminars & programs I've heard about

It's completely different. Although group hypnosis can be very effective for some (it's estimated that 30% of individuals will respond positively) it does not address the intricacies in relation to your individual blocks that have been preventing you from change. Hypnosis in a group setting, due to it's nature, takes a generic approach to transformation and in many cases will not help you to get to the root of your problem but rather may just apply a band-aid approach. If you speak to someone who has participated in these types of programs you may uncover that they initially had great results which eventually 'wore off'. Some programs are better than others. If you feel a group setting may be better for you I encourage you to do your research, look for unbiased reviews on multiple platforms, & ask around for recommendations.

why are you so expensive?!

Because I put a high value on time and energy and only work with individuals who do as well. I've lost count of the number of clients I've worked with who've confided they've been struggling with an issue for years or decades & / or have spent a significant amount of time, money and energy in an attempt to 'fix it'. In here we'll fix it and do so quickly. Due to my experience and professional tool kit you will get the benefit of multiple therapeutic sessions in the span of one session session with me. Additionally, it's not uncommon to begin to notice positive changes in areas of your life that are totally unrelated to the problem you originally came in for. However, if you feel having the solution to your problem wouldn't be worth the cost of the investment, then you're in luck; it's possible it may not be much of a problem at all.

How can you assure discretion?

After having done this work for over 20 years, you can imagine I've seen and heard nearly everything. I've had the pleasure of helping people from a vast array of backgrounds (from your everyday Joe to individuals with much 'bigger' names) overcome the most sensitive of issues in the most private & confidential environment. My office building itself has parking & an entrance with near invisibility and although I share common space with a physician, my specific office hours have been chosen to ensure minimal to no contact with any other individuals - thereby ensuring as much secrecy & discretion as possible to all of my clients. No paparazzi here, I promise.

Can you guarantee this will work?

Just like your surgeon, car mechanic or financial advisor will apply all of their skills, attention & expertise in helping you obtain the best result possible for your situation, they would never be able to fully guarantee a result. The same goes here. There are too many factors out of my control to be able to do so. As you can see from my unsolicited reviews, I get good results & my clients leave happy.

I’m still not fully sure how hypnosis works, even as a social worker myself, however I came out of 4 sessions with so many beautiful opportunities to reflect, to get curious, and to gain clarity. With much experience with traditional talk therapy, I knew I wanted to try a new modality to further my self-awareness, and this experience did not disappoint! Keri offers a relaxed setting, is SO lovely and easy to talk to, and unlike other therapies I’ve participated in, does not place a firm end time to sessions. She mentioned, “You’ll know” when to end a session or when to book the next, and it was true - it’s amazing what listening to the body can do. In trusting the process, I’m leaving with 1) more of an ability to trust myself, 2) a desire to turn inward rather than assume answers are outside of myself, 3) a conscious awareness around misplaced blame, 4) compassion and gentleness around shame - priceless gifts. I highly recommend Storrs Hypnosis for a deeper dive into what holds us back from living as our favorite selves.

I finally have clarity!

I am a drug and alcohol counselor who has been sober for over 10 years but I couldn't stop smoking. My sessions were keri were amazing. I was going through some extremely stressful times while I was also doing this process. She was able to curb my smoking and I have completely quit. I also left failing rejuvenated. She is amazing. I recommend anyone trying to quit smoking to give Keri a shot.

I couldn't have had a better experience with Keri. Not only did her practice resolve so much of my anxiety, but she's such an overall kind person, with such an open heart. She always made me feel comfortable, I actually was excited to go to an appointment just to talk to her!! Before hypnotherapy, I was having severe anxiety attacks multiple times a day, and now just after four hour/hour and a half sessions, I'm only having them once a week ish at a way less severe level, and even that has been dwindling down. I have an autoimmune disease that causes bad anxiety, and for ten years I've been trying to lessen this anxiety. I honestly could've never expected this much progress, especially in such a short amount of time.

My experience with Keri was literally life changing. I have been a smoker/vaper for over 10 years and have always struggled to quit. If I did quit, the craving would come back and I would start back up again. From the second I left Keri’s office, I did not pick up a vape nor have I had even one craving. Her approach was very specific to my individual self and she was amazing to work with. If you are struggling with any type of habit or addiction that doesn’t serve you, reach out to Storrs Hypnosis and you will not be disappointed. I never thought that I could get to this place in my life but I have because of Keri’s help!

Keri is the kindest and most supportive person ever. When I started with her, I was in a very low place in my life and with her help I was able to become this new much more happier version of me 10/10 would recommend 💜 …

I would highly recommend Storrs Hypnosis to anyone looking to make lasting change in their life! Keri is experienced, professional, and intuitive. Her office is inviting, comfortable and a wonderful setting for you to relax into hypnotherapy. I contracted with her to stop a habit I've had for 20+ years (biting the inside of my mouth). I experienced major change after my first session!

Lasting Change

Keri Jenkins of Storrs Hypnosis has been of incredible assistance to me in regard to fear and anxiety associated with cancer treatments. She has helped me with the development of strategies to deal with these negative fearful emotions and to naturally substitute positive responses to them instead. Keri's keen insight and professionalism are wonderfully enhanced by sincere caring. I always feel as if I have a true comrade in my battle with these fears. Keri's empathy, and sincerity are also evident in her conscientious checking in in between appointments. She honestly cares about how we folks are doing in response to the therapy. Personally, her therapy has not only helped me to develop positive approaches to very negative thought processes, but also to 'chuckle', to actually laugh at my previous fears. That really great self humor is a gift whose value is beyond measure.

My wife is 81 years old. For the last 2 years she has been progressing down the long, dark, lonely road to dementia. She has been professionally diagnosed with Alzheimer's by both a neurologist and gerontologist. She not only suffers from the expected memory loss but several side effects of the disease. She has constant dizziness, ringing in her ears, and palsy shaking. She has had every sort of test, exam, scan and other sort of evaluation to determine the cause of these side effects. The most annoying of which is the dizziness. None of these tests could determine a physical cause. I wondered if, so there is no physical cause, there might be a psychological or unconscious reason. I got Keri’s name from a colleague who is a psychologist and psychiatrist Everyone involved in my wife’s care was of the opinion that hypnosis may be a viable way to ease her side effects and provider her with relief We scheduled a session with Keri after having had an initial in office consultation. During the session, I remained in the room (per my wife’s request). I watched Keri work with my wife, relaxing her from head to foot in the most gentle manner. It was remarkable. I watched my wife enjoy zero dizziness or shaking for an hour as the session progressed. After the session, my wife steadily walked out of the office and into the parking lot without assistance. The palsy didn’t return for about 2 weeks and when it did, the intensity had decreased greatly. This is the longest she has enjoyed relief for quite some time. My wife loved Keri, and the results and couldn’t wait to book another session. We are hopeful that more suggestions, sessions and time can ease her dizziness and shakiness further. She is also gaining a tool to work with at home. We are so happy to have found this option to help my wife.

Keri’s expertise is worth every minute of time spent with her. From scheduling, contact back and forth to in person meetings, Keri’s work with me proved 100% effective. I walked into her office not knowing what to expect. I went in finally trying to resolve my issue and in the end, couldn’t understand how my fear even existed. I used to dread vacation travel, now, I am actually looking forward to future trips. It’s very hard to describe going from constant panic mode to fully relaxed after only seeing her for a short time. Anyone with a reason to see her should do so.
