Struggling to fall asleep, or stay asleep through the night?
Maybe your mind revs up just when you need it to slow down.
Maybe you wake at 3am and can’t switch off.
Or you fall asleep easily, only to wake feeling like you barely slept at all.
Whatever your version looks like, it’s more than just feeling tired. It affects your focus, your mood, your energy, even your sense of self. And after enough nights like this, it starts to wear you down.
It’s not you.. it’s your brain on high alert. I’ll help you show it that it’s safe again.
Why Sleep Matters More Than You Think
Sleep isn’t just ‘rest’ – it’s repair.
It’s when your immune system resets.
It’s when your brain clears out stress.
And it’s when your emotional balance is restored.
This is why you can feel wired and tired at the same time. Sleep is supposed to heal, but your brain’s still scanning for problems.
REM sleep is vital for processing the day and emptying what we call your ‘stress bucket.’ Without enough quality sleep, your nervous system stays on high alert, and even small things feel overwhelming.
Over time, poor sleep or insomnia can worsen anxiety, low mood, and physical health. It can increase the risk of illness, reduce resilience, and make the world feel heavy. It’s not just tiring, it’s unsustainable.
How Hypnotherapy Helps with Sleep
Sleep hygiene tips are helpful – but if you’re already anxious or wired at night, they’re not always enough.
The real key is helping your brain feel safe again. And that’s where hypnotherapy comes in.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by gently shifting your brain out of fight-or-flight, so you can move into the calmer, rational part of your mind.. where change happens.
In our sessions, you’ll learn what’s really going on in your brain (and why it’s not your fault), and we’ll use proven tools — including guided hypnosis — to help:
🔸Calm your racing thoughts
🔸Reduce nighttime awakenings
🔸Improve REM Sleep quality
🔸Build new habits around rest and recovery
🔸And re-train your brain to respond differently to stress
Each session ends with what I call “couch time” – a deeply relaxing trance that helps your nervous system reset. It’s not sleep, but it’s a powerful state where your subconscious becomes open to change.
What Working Together Looks Like
In your first Foundation Session, I’ll explain how your mind works and why it’s been holding onto these restless patterns. We’ll map out what you want to change, and I’ll give you a relaxing MP3 to use nightly.
We start by helping your brain feel safe again with a series of weekly hypnotherapy sessions – to help calm the fight-flight response that’s keeping you awake when you should be sleeping.
From there, we usually work together for 8–12 sessions.
Each 60-minute session includes:
🔸Gentle brain training techniques
🔸Guided hypnosis to help you enter a deep state of rest
🔸Tracking progress together using a simple 0–10 scale
🔸And powerful solution-focused conversations to help you feel more like you again
You’ll leave each session feeling clearer, calmer.. and one step closer to the sleep you deserve.
Why Work With Michelle?
I combine proven therapeutic techniques with lived understanding.. but I also get it, because I’ve been the one lying awake at 3am, exhausted but wired.. wondering why my brain wouldn’t shut up. So you’re not just getting support, you’re getting someone who understands.
That’s one reason I trained in this approach – because it gave me the structure I needed to get my own sleep (and life) back on track.
Now I help others do the same, using the exact same techniques that helped me.
If you’re ready to wake up feeling like yourself again, I’d love to help.
