Clinical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilizes guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve an altered state of consciousness. Unlike traditional hypnosis, which is often used for entertainment, Clinical Hypnotherapy is used to explore the subconscious mind and facilitate neural restructuring for therapeutic purposes.

Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) is a neuroscience-based therapeutic technique designed to address a range of triggering issues. The therapy is rooted in the understanding that specific patterns of eye movements can facilitate neurological processing and emotional regulation. MEMI mimics the natural processes of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, a crucial phase for memory consolidation and emotional well-being. By guiding clients through these eye movements while they are awake, MEMI aims to reframe and desensitize traumatic memories leading to a reorganization of neural networks and symptom relief. MEMI has been effective in treating a variety of conditions that may be resistant to traditional therapies. These include symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, phobias, addictive cravings, and compulsive behaviors. The therapy offers durable relief by addressing not just the symptoms but also the underlying emotional and cognitive processes contributing to these conditions.
