The Message From Innisfree

Innisfree operates from the premise of teaching you to use hypnosis to help yourself. It is our aim to teach you how to find your own inner mind and center –the subconscious – and then relieve the triggers you may have put there that are causing your present issue. We work with you to relieve these things and also teach you the tools at the same time. You leave Innisfree with tools you can use through life and no need to be dependent on Innisfree. Of course life can throw you a curve where you’d like a refresher, or something new comes up, then we are available. But we sincerely hope to see the last of you [in a nice way] when you change your issue for the better.

Innisfree uses educational hypnosis. This means we consider you an equal partner in the process, give you much information, and accompany you on your journey to physical, emotional, even spiritual balance through coaching between sessions. Coaching is done through updating daily checklists [formulated after your first session] and emailing them to the Consulting Hypnotist/Motivational Coach. These lists are commented on and emailed back to you. In this way you keep moving ahead with the change you want and release limiting patterns.

Passion for change is what makes hypnosis very, very powerful. We recommend that if this isn’t the way you want to do hypnosis, or if the passion isn’t there yet, you wait.

You can be helped into hypnosis by many people – friends, and medical and non-medical hypnotists - but the number of knowledgeable people who know what to do when you are there to promote your change for the better is inconsistent. And hypnosis, as of yet, is unregulated in Canada which means anybody can call himself/herself a Consulting Hypnotist despite a large discrepancy in training. Innisfree recommends that you ask the background of any hypnotist you go to.

Association memberships mean little.

Innisfree is association free. This means that we are not limited by the hypnosis association ‘wars’ and strictures as to what process we can use or the titles we call ourselves. Consulting Hypnotists trained and certified by Innisfree know a large number of complex processes to help you change. Innisfree is also non-medical. We can and do work with medical people but we do not work alone on medical or mental issues. The only exception to this statement is a syndrome or disorder which medicine has told you ‘you just have to live with’ – such as Fibromyalgia and IBS. We are increasing this area of hypnosis for syndromes and disorders which you ‘just have to live with’ as we find hypnosis research concerning its efficacy with them.

Feir Johnson, the director, retired as a teacher, took basic hypnosis training, decided it wasn't enough and studied for 3 more years researching hypnosis. She continues to study. Any hypnotist working for her clinic has a college or university background [or an extensive and intensive work background], and has undergone an intensive 6 month certification program in hypnosis with Innisfree. That hypnotist continues to study also. And that hypnotist is mentored. Most community hypnotists do not have these academic prerequisites or mentoring and only 3 to 6 weekends training.

Your Consulting Hypnotist at Innisfree will be educating you about and helping you with your own subconscious. Working only with the subconscious is called Clinical Hypnosis. When the subconscious extends further it moves into the superconscious. Innisfree only works in the area where you give permission.

Please note that hypnosis is very much an established fact – and unless it is your choice does not use spiritual processes in regular sessions.

We tell you all this because it is the philosophy of Innisfree to be transparent with information. Again we work only with processes that you give us permission to use. We do, however ask you to be a full partner in changing your issue for the better. That means maintaining your passion for change, doing the work between sessions, and staying in coaching/checklist contact.

Because of our extensive knowledge of processes we make every attempt to stay within a short number of sessions. In case you don’t know there are Consulting Hypnotists who see clients weekly for several months. Depending on your issue Innisfree likes to stay with 4 to 8 sessions, approximately, which can become every other week and cover up to 3 months. Those are 3 months of coaching to develop and practice your conscious healthy change.

The Innisfree Approach

Because you may not know much about hypnosis we’d like to tell you about our unique service for you. Consulting Hypnotists at Innisfree write Ericksonian scripts especially for you and your issue. This means that a lot of work is done by us between the sessions you have with us. We also research medical and non-medical information about your issue. We stay in touch to coach you for success and respond promptly when you email us about your ongoing change. We listen. This means in our conscious conversation with you we will pick up helpful information to put into those scripts for your subconscious change. And we provide reinforcement cds for between session help with your subconscious. We commit a great deal of energy and concern to you – to make your change. To our knowledge working this way is unique to Innisfree. For that reason we ask that you are very committed to change and all the new responsibilities changing brings before working with us.

Should you decide to work with Innisfree some information:
Your first session is called the Initial Consult. This session often is 3 hours long and involves in-depth conversation about you and your issues, the hypnosis experience to begin to work with your subconscious and hypnosis suggestions for improvement. You will be sent paperwork which you can fill in ahead of time. Please be sure to bring the intake form with you [or send it back by email] and a copy of the signed disclaimer.

In order to prepare for the Initial Consult please download, read and bring with you the Hypnosis Explanation e-book on the website. Also bring a copy of the disclaimer and your intake form.

Each session with an Innisfree Consulting Hypnotist is $130. If you want to pay with a credit card the site has PayPal on it. Cheques or cash are accepted by the office

We look forward to working with you, teaching you to use the great power of your own subconscious, and seeing you change for the better.

Yours truly,

An important quotation from Dave Elman – hypnosis trainer of doctors]

Elman response when this question was asked of him: I have heard that in several states laws are being formulated to stop the use of hypnosis by anyone but a qualified physician. What do you think of these projected laws?

You can’t outlaw the workings of the human mind. You can’t keep people from being suggestible, for this is a God-given attribute – nor can you prevent anyone from giving other people suggestions. In other words, you can’t enforce a law that is contrary to the laws of nature. Since we are all giving each other suggestions every day of our lives, sometimes without even realizing it, how can this be prevented? This is not always recognized as hypnosis but quite often that’s exactly what it is.

I am pleased to without hesitation recommend Dr. Feir Johnson as an excellent Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Dr. Johnson has helped me rid myself of a pain problem and I will continue to use this excellent resource for tune-ups as needed.

Dr. Camille J. Kolotylp
Fonthill, ON

For almost the past 25 years, I suffered with seasonal allergies to pollen as well as year-round allergies to cats. I hate needles, so shots were out of the question, so every year, I'd dope myself up on whatever over-the-counter allergy meds seemed to be popular that year and stumble through my summer. I found over time I couldn't eat meat or drink either, because that would make the symptoms worse - even when I was medicated. The months of May and September were NOT my friends.

When I asked Dr. Feir if hypnosis could work for allergies, I was amazed to hear that they could be gotten rid of easily. I immediately signed up for private consultations in the fall of 2006 and bought the CDs. After three weeks, I was "cured" - my symptoms were hardly present and when they were, I could easily identify what the emotional triggers were.

The week after my last session, I went to a party at a friend's house where they were two long-haired cats. I was also offered a scotch by my Scottish hosts - which I couldn't refuse ; )

Anyway, sitting at the party with a cat on my lap and a scotch in my hand, I realized that Dr. Feir's work with me was extremely successful.

In the spring of 2007, I had no allergy symptoms unless I was emotionally stressed. When I dealt with the stress, the symptoms went away. My wife commented she's got me back again. My work life improved immensely and I feel better than I have in years - allergy drug free for the first time in almost 25 years! Thanks Dr. Feir!
