About Victoria

Hi there, I’m Victoria!

I’m a queer, non-binary (they/them pronouns, please) Certified Hypnotherapist based in Emeryville, California. I’m proud to be a graduate of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana, California, the only nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy.

I grew up spending my time split between the Southern California high desert and a beautiful wooded area in rural Georgia, which gave me an opportunity to widen my perspective early on.

In 2013, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD (or C-PTSD), thus sparking a decade-long journey of experimentation and exploration within spirituality and mental health. I learned so much about the nervous system, the subconscious mind, and trauma during this time - and yes, this is what drove me to pursue what I consider to be my calling as a hypnotherapist.

I felt called to pursue hypnotherapy after working with a certified hypnotherapist in my personal life and experiencing its many benefits. Before hypnotherapy, I had a bad habit of playing small out of fear, not realizing the deep reservoir of power I had been hiding from myself. Because of long-term trauma throughout my life, my subconscious mind had learned early on that keeping myself small was the safest option!

Consciously, I knew that I was holding myself back from my true potential, but I found myself constantly struggling to make any lasting changes...until trying hypnotherapy. Working with my hypnotherapist allowed me to free myself from old narratives that were running the show behind the scenes, freeing up so much energy I didn't even know I had!

After this incredible work, so many things just clicked into place for me and I was finally able to begin the process of embodying who I knew I was inside all along. Freeing up all that energy that had been previously used holding onto outdated ideas of who I was allowed my confidence and creativity to flourish and literally every aspect of my life changed for the better.

This profoundly positive experience motivated me to master this incredible modality so I could provide others with the tools to improve themselves and to discover the magic possible within their own lives.
