How It Works

This page explains How Private Sessions Work. To learn How Hypnosis Works, click below.

"I took one of Cyrilla's hypnosis sessions to address my fear of surfing bigger waves. By bigger I mean shoulder to head high. I knew I had the physical capabilities to surf them, but my mind was blocking my wave-catching progress. With ONE session from Cyrilla, I was surfing out in Montauk in a bigger surf than I usually go out in. I caught a nice wave and rode it perfectly. I didn't feel any fear, I just concentrated on catching the wave, riding it and having fun! I highly recommend Cyrilla because she is a trusting and caring person and fun to work with."

Friends, for the better part of 3 years I have suffered from an unexpected and unexplained driving anxiety that made driving on a highway nearly impossible. Driving back from Newfoundland alone was a major breakthrough for me and it happened due to....hypnosis. I cannot recommend Cyrilla Baer more highly. AND I WAS SUPER SKEPTICAL! Check her out if you need help with anything.

How It Works

All Sessions are conducted on Google Meet except for the Discovery Phone Call.

There are Three Steps:

Step One: Book a free "Discovery Phone Call". We'll have an approximately 15 minute conversation to see if hypnosis is right for you personally! This is also a good place for teachers, coaches, theatre companies, casts, etc. to get in touch to see about scheduling sessions for their members or students, though you can always just call (and take your chances on voicemail) or text me at 201-255-7813.

Step Two: If you decide to go forward, Book your 30 Minute Pre-Session. In this Google Meet, we'll establish exactly what you want, what things you specifically want to hear or not hear while in trance, and check that your video and sound set-up are good for the actual session. If for any reason you decide at that time that it's not for you, that's as far as we go.

Step Three: Choose your date and time for your Personal Full Session. It's blocked out in intervals of 1 hour and 30 minutes, but seldom takes that long. Also, the vast majority of my sessions are "One-and-DONE"! That's my training. So you would seldom be looking at a series of sessions.

Pricing Guide

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PRICING

The groups I work with most tend to be underemployed, underpaid, or both. If you feel you cannot afford these rates (and they are low for a hypnotist - PLEASE do not expect any other hypnotist to match them) CONTACT ME! I want everyone to be able to get any help they need in my specialized niche (entertainment creatives and autists) and I will slide my scale all over the place for you. HOWEVER, if you can afford to pay full price, it's greatly appreciated so I can help more of those who cannot.

Discovery Calls are free.
Pre-Sessions are $50 - after the pre-session you can stop there if you feel hypnosis just isn't right for you.
Personal Full Sessions are $250, (if you cannot afford that price, talk to me).
After-Session Personalized mp3 Boosters, if appropriate, are $50 each.

What is a Private Session For?

"My session with Cyrilla was 8 years ago. I still use techniques I learned then. In the years since, I have begun meditating. Cyrilla's work helps me get to the silent place faster and with less angst. I use her to "drop" into sleep. To calm myself down. To restore myself to the present moment. Because she is a creative person. She understands the specific needs (and dodges) of where I would go if I could go. I do better because of Cyrilla."

- Ellen Stoneking, actor/writer (IMDB)

"Cyrilla worked with me on a very personal level before I had a series of oral surgeries. She customized her approach to me as a lighting designer, allowing me to visualize a light board. This worked, as I could use the various switches and controls to calm myself. During the surgery (3 wisdom teeth removed) I managed to remain calm and focused. It really worked, and has worked on some other minor medical issues since. Thanks Cyrilla!"

- Rich Simone, director/designer/actor
Rich is no longer with us and our industry is sorrier for it...

"Cyrilla is a caring guide, who answered any questions I had. I felt safe and in control throughout the process. I was able to relieve an ongoing issue, and I left the session in awe, with renewed confidence, and a feeling of freedom that I hope to always carry with me."

I am so happy that I can offer a lot of help through Group Sessions and Digital Recordings,
but often you just need personalization.

For Creative Professionals

Of course, creatives also have problems and concerns that are shared by the general population (and yet may have the extra issues attached which come from being in the Arts): fears, stresses, bad habits to break, etc., accompanied by a deep concern that if you heal the pain, you may lose the access to those feelings for your Art - unlike "civilian" hypnotists or therapists, I completely understand that and can assure that you will still have access to those thoughts when you need them.

Plus, hypnosis can be used just to make other things in your life more enjoyable (see Kim's reaction up top to using hypnosis for her surfing)!

The answer to most issues you may be facing is already in your subconscious and you just need a hypnotist to help you unlock it!

For Fellow Neurodivergents

I've made my group sessions as ND friendly as possible - you can use an alias, you don't need to be on-camera, you don't have to speak - but some of us will just never be comfortable in any kind of group situation, period. So a pre-recorded session would seem to fit the bill.

But what if you have an issue where there is no pre-recorded session that exists? What if you need help with an issue that isn't necessarily neurodivergence related, but you need to speak with someone who understands how your mind operates? What if you need internal exploration to even figure out what your question IS?

That's what I'm here for in a Private Session. I understand how your mind works, because it's my mind too! You won't have all that explaining to do, and we will innately understand the same shortcuts and thought processes. And it will all be neuro-affirming with no judgement.

(All the sessions available for groups are available for individual sessions, too!)
