My Services

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state where your mind becomes more open to positive change. You’re fully aware, in control, and we simply work with your subconscious to help shift patterns more easily.

Hypnosis sessions can be individual or group sessions. To see the next group session times, click here. Hypnosis can also be integrated with other services.

Reiki

is an approach to move, stimulate and balance your energy within your body. This technique is very gentle. It enhances healing and reduces pain, stress and anxiety. It has been used for thousands of years to treat symptoms of illnesses, relieve muscle tension, and improves poor circulation.

Reflexology

views the hands, feet and ears as mirrors reflecting the conditions of whole body. While working on the points of the feet, hands and ears, reflexology uses gentle massage techniques to unblock and dissipate stored blockages and pain.

Massage

stimulates the muscular system, releases toxins from the tissues, promotes flexibility and relieves tension. Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, friction and stretching and stripping, are some of the techniques that are used to promote synergistic combinations for maximum effectiveness.

Myofascial Release

is a hands on, specialized manual therapy that releases the fascial system (the three-dimensional web connecting every muscle, organ, and cell in your body). This therapy treats your entire body, helping to restore balance to restricted fascia.

Tuning Fork & Singing Bowl Therapy

is vibrational healing. These instruments can reduce feelings of tension and induce a state of deep relaxation. Sound healing uses high-intensity, low-frequency vibrations to benefit wellness.

Lymphatic Massage

uses light strokes to help pump and move interstitial fluid and blood cells out of extremities that lay dormant through the lymphatic system. Gentle, rhythmic movements promote better lymphatic uptake and drainage.

Facial & Neck Massage

incorporates massage techniques using a Kansa Wand, a wooden tool with a round metal end, gently rolls over the facial muscles. In addition, other massage techniques are used to help release restrictions in the face, jaw and neck.

CranioSacral Therapy

balances the CranioSacral system (CST), which includes the membranes and Cerebral Spinal fluid (CSF) that surround and flow through and protect the spinal cord and brain. Gentle manual techniques are used to release problem areas and relieve pressure of the brain and spinal cord.

Raindrop Technique

uses a blend of therapeutic essential oils and a series of massage strokes. The muscles will loosen, and the spine is able to realign, straighten, and release bacteria and viruses which might lay dormant. This technique helps spine curvatures; such as scoliosis and general pain.

Testimonials

“Gretel, I just want to say thank you so much for helping me. ❤️

For over two years, I was drinking energy drinks every single day. I really wanted to stop, but I honestly didn’t think it would be this easy.

During my hypnosis session with you, I had this amazing realization that it wasn’t actually my body that needed the energy drink — it was my mind that had gotten used to it. It was a habit. Realizing that during the session was such a powerful moment for me.

Today is my fourth day without an energy drink, and I’m honestly amazed because I’m not even thinking about it! It has been so much easier than I expected.

I’m so grateful that you helped me see that I didn’t need to be controlled by this habit. It feels really good to leave it behind, and I’m so happy I decided to do the session with you.

Thank you, Gretel! I’m so grateful for you!”

“Gretel’s warm and open energy during my hypnosis session allowed me to fully relax and take in the experience. I was so relaxed and my awareness of self improved!”

Kristen, Brockton New York

“I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to try hypnosis for my sleep. I had never done anything like it before, and I went into it pretty skeptical and completely open-minded at the same time. After struggling with terrible insomnia for years and being on a very high dose of medication for more than 10 years, I felt like I had nothing to lose by trying something different.

After just two sessions with Gretel, I was able to cut my medication dose in half, which is something I never imagined would happen so quickly. I’m falling asleep much faster now, and for the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful that I can eventually get off my medication altogether.

One of the things I appreciated most about working with Gretel was how comfortable and natural the entire experience felt. I was worried hypnosis might feel strange, uncomfortable, or like I was somehow giving up control, but it was nothing like that. Honestly, it felt much more like a deeply relaxing therapy session. I always felt completely comfortable, safe, and in control.

After three sessions, I told Gretel that I felt like I could continue on my own and work toward reducing my medication. What really stood out to me was that she never tried to convince me to keep booking appointments or made me feel like I needed more sessions. She simply told me she was there for me if I ever needed her. That meant a lot to me and really says something about the kind of person she is.

I’m so grateful that I was willing to step outside my comfort zone and try something less traditional. Sometimes being open-minded and trying something different can make a bigger difference than you expect. I’m incredibly thankful I found Gretel and would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is struggling with sleep or simply wants to explore a different approach. She is kind, reassuring, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she helps.”

“Working with Gretel was such an incredible experience. She is sweet and comforting, which helped me to relax and trust the process. Her gentle approach created a safe space, and I left feeling lighter and more at ease. I highly recommend her!”

Haley, NY

“Gretel has such a natural, grounding energy that I immediately felt safe, not judged, and able to let go during our session. After being hypnotized by her, my body felt noticeably relaxed and I was able to experience relief from TMJ pain in my jaw/face which is usually pretty constant. It was amazing to experience this after just one session!”

Nicole

“I was feeling a lack of energy and motivation and was willing to try hypnosis to get rid of whatever was holding me back. After two sessions with Gretel I have a noticeable improvement in my focus and have been getting things done like I wanted to. The improvement was subtle and gradual over about a two week period after the sessions and I am definitely going to keep on course with more sessions.”

“She is very good at her job, and has helped me a lot.”

Edna C.

“I first heard about Gretel about 4 years ago and was told what an amazing job she does as a massage therapist. They were right. Her hands seem to go right to the areas that need working on. During deep tissue massage as she works the areas she makes sure to check if the pressure is too much. If so, she has different techniques to get the muscle to comply with her touch. I personally like the 90 minute deep tissue massage and I usually have her spend part of the time doing some reflexology on my feet. I highly recommend Gretel.”
