Frequently Asked Questions

Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT) combines clinical hypnosis with established therapeutic techniques to explore subconscious beliefs, emotions, and patterns that may be influencing the way you think, feel, and respond.

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and deep relaxation. During hypnosis, you remain aware, conscious, and in control. You can speak, respond to questions, and communicate throughout the session.

No. You remain aware, conscious, and in control throughout hypnosis. You cannot be made to do anything against your values or wishes, and you can communicate with me at any point during the session. Hypnosis isn't about giving up control — it's about changing where your attention is focused.

Most people can experience hypnosis when they are willing to participate and able to focus. You don't need to be highly suggestible or have previous experience with hypnosis. The experience varies from person to person, and there is no single "right" way to experience hypnosis.

An RTT session typically involves a conversation about your goal, guided hypnosis, exploration of experiences and patterns connected to that goal, and therapeutic techniques designed to help you develop new perspectives and beliefs. You'll remain aware and involved throughout the process.

That's okay. RTT isn't dependent on having a complete or detailed memory of your childhood. The focus is on exploring the experiences, emotions, beliefs, and patterns relevant to the issue you're working on — not on proving exactly what happened.

We may explore experiences that carry emotion, but you are not being asked to relive your past. I'll guide you through the process and support you throughout the session. You remain in control and can communicate with me at any point.

Every person and every goal is different. Some people experience meaningful change after one RTT session, while others benefit from a series of sessions, particularly when working through more complex or layered concerns. We'll discuss your goals during your complimentary consultation and determine what approach makes the most sense for you.

Everyone's experience is different. Some people notice changes soon after a session, while for others, changes may become more noticeable over time as they apply new perspectives and patterns in everyday life. There is no single timeline that applies to everyone.

Rapid Transformational Coaching (RTC) helps you build on insight through practical strategies, goal-setting, accountability, and continued support. It can be offered as a stand-alone service or alongside RTT.

Absolutely. Many clients benefit from combining RTT with Rapid Transformational Coaching to reinforce new beliefs, build momentum, and support lasting change. We'll discuss the most appropriate approach during your consultation.

Yes. Rapid Transformational Coaching is available as a stand-alone service for clients seeking practical support, accountability, and personal growth, and help turning insight into action.

No. RTT is not appropriate for everyone, and certain medical or mental health conditions may require alternative support or medical clearance. We'll discuss relevant health and mental health history during your consultation to determine whether RTT is a safe and appropriate option for you. If RTT isn't the right option, I'll always be honest with you.

You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. During your complimentary consultation, we'll talk about what you're experiencing, what you'd like to be different, and what you're hoping to understand or change. From there, we can determine whether RTT, RTC, or another approach is the most appropriate fit.

That's exactly why I offer a complimentary consultation. Together, we'll discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether Lumina Within is the right fit for your needs. There is never any obligation to move forward.

Yes. RTT and RTC can both be delivered virtually, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your own home.

Yes. In-person sessions are available by appointment at my private home practice in the country in Val-des-Monts, Quebec, for local clients who prefer an in-person experience surrounded by nature.
