Honest questions
Will I be unconscious, or out of control?
No. That is stage hypnosis and movies. You'll be relaxed and deeply inward, but awake, aware, and able to stop at any point. Most people remember most of it. Some don't, and that is fine too — it usually means the work went somewhere deeper than memory.
Are you a qualified, credentialed hypnotist?
Yes. Consulting hypnotist and master practitioner of NLP, with the certificates listed on the innergeni.us site. As I say in "Who's in the room," the credentials are real, but they are not the part that matters most — thirteen years of practice is.
Is this shamanism?
Only in the broadest sense. What we actually do — entering your imaginal world together and traveling it with purpose — is something shamanic traditions have always understood, and my training in them is real. But the session itself is plain and contained: a conversation, and a deep, guided trance. There is no drumming, no sage, no ceremony performed at you.
Does this involve spirits, magic, or plant medicine?
No. No spirits, no magic, no plant medicine, and nothing administered to you. This is, strictly, a very deep and deliberate form of trance — closer to a guided meditation taken much further than to anything occult. The only thing used in the room is your own mind.
What makes this different from ordinary hypnosis?
Two things. The first is accompaniment — most hypnotists send you inward and then wait outside the door, while I go in with you. The second is depth. Decades inside disciplined trance and ritual practice have made it second nature for me to enter certain kinds of inner space alongside a person — and, just as importantly, to take what is found there seriously and treat it as real.
What philosophies inform your work?
Mainly two. Jungian, or depth, psychology — the understanding that the inner world has a real structure, populated by figures worth meeting. And Internal Family Systems, which sees the psyche as made of parts, each with a role and a reason. If you know either tradition, you will recognize the shape of this work. If you don't, nothing is lost.
What if nothing happens?
Something usually happens, though not always on the schedule you'd expect — a session can feel quiet in the room and then the movement shows up two days later in a dream or a decision. That said, this is not a guarantee machine. It is real work with a real person. I build the session as well as it can be built, and your own inner world does the rest.
Do I need more than one?
Usually not. The whole thing is designed as one sustained, complete encounter. Some people choose to come back later for something new, but nobody is required to, and there is nothing ongoing to enroll in.
In person or online?
Either works. The session runs on voice, attention, and your own inner landscape — none of which need us to be in the same room. In person, that means Miami Beach; online, anywhere you are.
What actually happens on the free call — am I committing to anything?
Nothing. Booking the call commits you to nothing at all. It is a short, honest conversation: you tell me what is going on, I ask a few questions, and we both decide whether a single session is genuinely the right fit. There is no pitch. If I don't think this is for you, I will say so plainly. If it is, we find a time from there.
