About
From Rudderless to Resilient
Hi, I’m Cheryl.
I’m a clinical hypnotherapist, coach, and lifelong student of human behavior. After returning to school and attaining a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy, I began practicing as a clinical hypnotherapist, bringing together my coaching background with the powerful tools of hypnosis to help people move beyond stress, anxiety, and limiting patterns into calm confidence and freedom.
My Story
Growing up with a narcissistic parent, I experienced gaslighting, stonewalling, and emotional neglect. Later, entering the male-dominated tech sales industry in the 1970s, I faced prejudice and constant pressure to prove myself. Like many people, I fell back into coping behaviors that helped me survive in younger years — but held me back from truly thriving as an adult.
My natural curiosity about people and resilience drove me to study human behavior for decades: neuroscience, psychology, leadership, and healing modalities. Coaching gave me a way to share what I learned with others. But over time, I realized coaching alone wasn’t enough. People needed deeper, faster relief. That’s what drew me to clinical hypnotherapy.
Why Hypnotherapy + Coaching Together Works
Coaching teaches skills. Hypnotherapy works with the unconscious mind—the place where stress, fears, habits, and self-perceptions really live. Together, they create powerful, lasting change.
I use a holistic approach that moves you from feeling rudderless to feeling resilient by addressing every part of you:
- Mindset & cognition – how you think and process
- Emotions – what you feel and carry
- Physiology – the impact stress has on your body
- Identity & self-perception – the story you tell yourself
- Behavior & compulsions – what you do, even when you don’t want to
- Relationships & connection – how you show up with others
When all of these are addressed, people move from anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck… to feeling calm, confident, and free.
Who I Help
I work with people who are ready to break free from stress, self-doubt, and old habits, and specialize in helping people heal from the lasting impact of narcissistic relationships. If you are a high performer in business, sports, or entertainment, I can help you alleviate burnout and improve focus.
Whether you’re carrying invisible scars from the past, struggling with unhealthy patterns, or simply want to unlock your peak potential, I help you create space for healing, growth, and joy.
And here is the best news. YOU are the one in control. I teach you how to manage yourself, so you can employ the techniques that work for you.
