Calgary Hypnotherapist | Evidence-Based Clinical Hypnosis

As a Calgary-based clinical hypnotherapist, we recognize that seeking help for IBS, gut-related anxiety, or chronic gut pain can feel overwhelming. You've likely tried multiple approaches — diet changes, medication, lifestyle adjustments — and while some may have helped, you're still looking for lasting relief. Gut-directed hypnotherapy targets the gut-brain axis: the bidirectional communication system between your digestive system and your central nervous system.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy is distinct from talk therapy. It uses focused relaxation and targeted suggestions to calm visceral hypersensitivity, normalize gut motility, and reduce the stress-response signals that amplify digestive symptoms. It is backed by 40+ years of peer-reviewed research, including large clinical audits (Miller 2015, n=1,000) and head-to-head RCTs against the low-FODMAP diet (Peters 2016).

Our specialization is the gut-brain axis. Within that lens, we work with three overlapping presentations: IBS and other functional gut disorders, gut-related anxiety, and chronic gut-centred pain. This focused scope means we are not a general hypnotherapy practice — we work specifically with clients whose primary concern is their digestive health or its psychological sequelae.

All sessions are conducted virtually via secure video conferencing, or in-person in Calgary. Virtual sessions let you experience gut-directed hypnotherapy from the comfort of your own space — no commute, no waiting rooms. Hasan 2019 found telehealth delivery statistically equivalent to in-person for this modality. We serve clients throughout Calgary, Alberta, and across Canada.

Our practitioner is a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist (RCH) with the Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists (ARCH), Canada's stringent professional body for clinical hypnotherapy. This includes 700+ hours of clinical training, supervised practice, criminal record and vulnerable sector screening, professional liability insurance, and mandatory continuing professional development. Sessions follow the Manchester Protocol as a clinical reference framework for IBS work.

Hypnotherapy is complementary care, not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Hypnotherapy is not a regulated health profession in Alberta. Always consult your GP or gastroenterologist for medical concerns.
