A DEEPER WAY FORWARD

When an hour a week isn’t enough.

Weekly sessions can be valuable. Sometimes, though, an hour leaves little room to settle in, go deeper, and follow what emerges. An intensive gives you extended, uninterrupted time to focus on you.

Slow down

Step out of your routine and arrive more fully in yourself.

Go deeper

Explore patterns, emotions, and beliefs with focused attention.

Integrate

Take time to absorb what emerges and decide what you want to carry forward.

THE EXPERIENCE

Two days to reconnect with yourself

Your intensive is shaped around your goals, your pace, and what feels ready to be explored. You are always invited to participate at your own pace.

Awareness

Notice the patterns showing up in your body, thoughts, and relationships.

Emotional expression

Give voice to what wants to move, without judgment.

Connection

Strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others.

Transformation

Leave with greater insight and a clearer sense of your next steps.

Transcendental Hypnotherapy

Guided relaxation, imagery, and focused reflection to explore beliefs, emotions, and patterns beneath everyday awareness. You remain aware and in control, and may pause at any time.

Imago-informed insights

Perspectives from Imago relationship work that help you notice how your history shapes the way you connect, communicate, and respond in close relationships.

Together, these approaches engage the whole person (body, mind, emotions, and relationships) in one focused experience.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This experience may be right for you if…

You’re ready for deeper personal growth than a weekly session allows.

You want greater awareness of your emotions and patterns.

You’re in a transition, or feeling stuck, and want clarity.

You long to live more authentically and express yourself more freely.

You’re curious how your history shapes your relationships.

You prefer an immersive, in-person experience.

All are welcome here as you are. This work is affirming to all - including LGBTQ+.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Private Individual Intensive?

A Private Individual Intensive is two days of focused, personalized time together, integrating Core Energetics, transcendental hypnotherapy, and Imago-informed insights. It gives you room to explore what is ready to change without the limits of a single weekly hour.

Who is it for?

Individuals seeking deeper personal growth, emotional awareness, healing, authenticity, and meaningful transformation. You are welcome here as you are.

What happens during the two days?

Your intensive is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. It may include conversation, body awareness, breath and movement, guided relaxation and imagery, and reflection. You are always invited to participate at your own pace. Intensives are offered as 12 or 16 hours across two days.

Do I need prior experience?

No prior experience with Core Energetics or hypnosis is needed. Before your intensive, you complete a free consultation and two individual sessions.

What does it cost, and how does the deposit work?

A 12-hour intensive is $2,400 and a 16-hour intensive is $3,200. A $500 deposit reserves your intensive and is applied toward your fee. It is refundable if you cancel at least two weeks before your start date; otherwise it is forfeited. Preparation and follow-up sessions are billed separately at $160 per 60-minute session.

Are lodging, meals, and travel included?

No. Lodging, meals, and travel are not included.

Is this therapy or medical treatment?

No. This is a coaching and personal growth experience, not psychotherapy or medical care. If you are working with a mental health professional, we encourage you to talk with them about whether an intensive is right for you.

How do I know if it’s right for me?

Schedule a free consultation. We will talk about your goals and explore together whether a Private Individual Intensive fits.
