About Anastasia
Clinical Hypnosis for Professionals Living with Constant Stress
You’re smart. You’re ambitious.
And your body is begging you to slow down, only you don’t know how.
Maybe it shows up as a lack of focus.
Or IBS that doesn’t respond well to traditional approaches.
Or food habits that feel “fine” but secretly control your day.
Or that second glass of wine you didn’t use to need.
Or intimacy that feels like pressure, not connection.
If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, no amount of discipline will fix it. That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Anastasia.
I help high-performing professionals and their families retrain their nervous systems through modern, evidence-based hypnosis.
My focus areas include:
IBS and gut-brain symptoms
Alcohol reduction or re-patterning, also known as gray area drinking
Intimacy and connection challenges
Food freedom (bingeing, restriction, emotional eating)
Improved focus and learning outcomes
What I do is not therapy.
It’s not coaching.
It’s not about fixing you.
The therapeutic goals are to assist you in solving personal problems, developing motivations, achieving personal goals, reducing stress, and increasing mind-body awareness.
Who I Work With
You’ve likely “tried everything.”
Therapy.
Journals.
Books.
Podcasts.
Maybe even meditation.
But you’re still in the loop.
Mentally sharp. Emotionally stuck.
Physically overwhelmed.
I work with people who:
Look successful on the outside
Feel burned out inside
Want to change, but don’t know how to stop white-knuckling everything
If that’s you, hypnosis can help.
Why I Do Hypnosis
I didn’t come to this work from textbooks. I came from experience.
I grew up navigating emotional abandonment and chronic dysregulation.
Healing wasn’t a trend. It was survival.
By age ten, I was learning about energy. By early teens, I was studying the subconscious mind.
Today, I help others move through what I had to figure out on my own:
How to feel comfortable in your body.
Calm in your mind.
Present in your life.
This isn’t just professional for me.
It’s personal. And it works.

A Glimpse Into My World
When I’m not with hypnosis clients, I’m probably tending to one of my houseplants or hiking in the local county parks.
Our furry companions, Sunny, a sweet rescue dog from the San Jose Animal Shelter, and Mishka, our spirited cat, add warmth to my family and home.
I lead a soulful life rooted in the same practices I offer my clients: awareness, intention, and inner leadership.
