Free 25-minute consultation
Sometimes you know you want something to change, but thinking about it, talking about it, or trying harder hasn't been enough.
Hypnosis offers a different way to work with the thoughts, emotions, habits, fears, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. By working with the deeper part of your mind, we can explore what may be underneath a challenge and create space for new perspectives, responses, and possibilities. At Olive Tree Healing Hypnosis, every session is personalized to you, your goals, and what you are ready to explore.
How Hypnosis & Inner Work Can Help You
Hypnotherapy bridges the gap between where you feel stuck and where you want to be by accessing the subconscious mind.
Anxiety, Stress & Emotional Relief
The Challenge: Constant overthinking, physical tension, feeling overwhelmed, or holding onto old emotional weight.
How It Helps: Calms the nervous system, releases stored subconscious triggers, and instils a deep sense of inner peace and resilience.
Overcoming Fears & Unwanted Patterns
The Challenge: Phobias, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, or habits that feel hard to break through willpower alone.
How It Helps: Rewires automatic subconscious responses, helps you unlearn limiting beliefs, and hypnotizes unhelpful behavioral patterns.
Self-Worth, Confidence & Inner Child
The Challenge: Feeling not good enough, struggle with setting boundaries, or carrying lingering childhood conditioning.
How It Helps: Reconnects you with your core self-worth, heals old emotional wounds, and fosters self-compassion from within.
Clarity, Focus & Personal Growth
The Challenge: Feeling stuck at a crossroads, lacking motivation, or struggling to align with your personal goals.
How It Helps: Clears mental clutter, aligns your conscious goals with your subconscious mind, and unlocks your natural confidence.

“I have contacted Mai to help with my anxiety. We had a great free consultation over the phone and together figured out a plan to help me. In total I went to three sessions and it has absolutely changed my life. Not only is Mai extremely gifted in what she’s doing, I also felt so safe and comfortable in her space. She took away all my fear and expectations, so I was able to be open for anything that might come up. I could have sit hours with her and just talk. I’m hoping this reaches someone that is on the fence of trying hypnotherapy and needed this review. Thank you Mai!”
How We Begin
Start with a Complimentary Consultation
Begin with a complimentary 25-minute phone consultation, a relaxed, unhurried conversation where we can talk about what’s bringing you here, what you hope to explore or change, and whether my approach is the right fit for you. No pressure, no obligation. Jump to Session Packages
Initial Foundation Session
Your first session gives us the time and space to understand what you want to change and establish a foundation for your hypnosis work.
Duration: 90 minutes
Investment: $200 + tax
Format: In person in Bedford, Nova Scotia, or online via Zoom
We begin with a conversation about your history, your goals, and what you would most like to accomplish. I'll explain what hypnosis is and what you can expect, answer your questions, and together we'll determine the most appropriate approach.
The session then moves into hypnosis, allowing you to experience the process and begin working toward your personal goal.
You don't need to know exactly why something is happening or have everything figured out before you come. We start with where you are.
Continuing Your Work
Some clients find that one focused session is enough for what they came to address. Others choose to continue with several sessions, particularly when working with long-standing patterns or more than one personal goal. After your Initial Foundation Session, you can choose what feels right for you.
Individual Hypnosis Session - 60 minutes — $140 + tax
A focused session for existing clients who want to continue their work, address a specific issue, reinforce progress, or explore a new goal.
There is no requirement to purchase a package.
3-Session Package - 3 × 60 minutes — $390 + tax (Save $30)
A good choice when you want consistent support while working toward a specific goal or making a meaningful change.
5-Session Package - 5 × 60 minutes — $625 + tax (Save $75)
Suitable for clients who want more time to explore deeper or longer-standing patterns and strengthen new ways of thinking and responding.
7-Session Package - 7 × 60 minutes — $840 + tax (Save $140)
For clients who want ongoing support while working on several related goals or making more gradual, sustained changes.
You do not have to decide on a package before your first session. We'll discuss what may be most appropriate for you based on your goals and experience.
What Is Hypnosis Like?
Hypnosis is not sleep, and you don't lose control.
You remain aware of what is happening throughout the session and can hear, speak, move, or stop at any time. I guide you into a relaxed state of focused attention where you can explore your inner experience in a different way.
Some people experience hypnosis as deeply relaxing. Others notice imagery, emotions, memories, physical sensations, or simply a strong sense of inward focus. There is no single "right" way to experience hypnosis.
You don't have to force anything to happen. Your role is simply to participate and remain open to the process.
A Personalized Approach
No two people come to hypnosis for exactly the same reason, and no two sessions are exactly alike.
I draw from different hypnosis approaches and techniques depending on what you want to accomplish. The work may involve relaxation, guided imagery, suggestions, working with beliefs and emotions, accessing inner resources, or exploring patterns that have become automatic.
My aim is not to tell you what you should think or feel. It is to help you explore and strengthen the resources and possibilities that already exist within you.
Is Hypnosis Right for You?
You don't need to be certain that hypnosis will work for you before you begin.
If you are curious, willing to participate, and ready to explore a different way of approaching something you want to change, a free consultation is a good place to start.
We'll talk about what you're experiencing, what you'd like to change, and whether hypnosis is an appropriate approach for you.
