About your sessions

What does Ikigai Hypnosis and Coaching offer?

Ikigai offers personalized online hypnosis, NLP, EFT tapping, and solution-focused coaching. Sessions are shaped around the change you want to make, whether that involves confidence, stress, habits, fears, performance, or feeling more at ease in everyday life.

Who leads the sessions?

Sessions are led by Gail Cannon-Wise, a certified hypnotherapist and coach. Gail brings a calm, collaborative approach that makes room for your goals, questions, and pace.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state that can make it easier to work with habitual thoughts, emotions, and responses. It is a collaborative process, not mind control.

Will I be in control during hypnosis?

Yes. You remain aware and in control throughout the session. You can pause, ask questions, or choose not to continue with anything that does not feel right for you.

What happens in an online session?

Sessions take place privately online. You will talk through what you would like to change, then Gail may use focused questions, guided relaxation, visualization, tapping, or practical coaching exercises that fit your goals.

Is online hypnosis as effective as an in-office session?

Yes. Online hypnosis can be just as effective as meeting in person. You receive the same one-to-one guidance, focused attention, and personalized support from the comfort of your own private space. A reliable internet connection and quiet setting help create the best experience.

What techniques might we use?

Depending on your goals, sessions may include hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, EFT tapping, and solution-focused coaching. The approach is personal, practical, and designed around what feels most useful to you.

What is solution-focused coaching?

Solution-focused coaching is a collaborative, forward-looking conversation. Rather than spending every session in the problem, Gail helps you clarify what you would like to be different, notice your strengths, and choose realistic next steps. It can support greater clarity, confidence, and practical change in everyday life.

Can hypnosis and coaching support anxiety, confidence, or habits?

They can offer a supportive space to explore patterns that feel stuck and practice more helpful responses. Each person and goal is different, so your sessions are tailored to your experience and what you would like to work toward.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions is different for everyone. Some people choose one or two sessions for a specific goal, while others value ongoing support. There is no required package, and you can decide one session at a time what feels right for you.

Can you promise a particular outcome?

No. Every person brings different goals, experiences, readiness, and circumstances. Sessions are tailored to support meaningful change, but no specific outcome can be promised or guaranteed. Gail will work with you collaboratively and check in on what feels helpful as you go.

Is this therapy or a replacement for medical care?

No. Hypnosis and coaching are not a substitute for medical, psychological, or mental-health care. If you are in crisis, feel unsafe, or need urgent support, contact local emergency services or a qualified mental-health professional right away.
