Why Virtual Hypnotherapy Works
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that virtual delivery of gut-directed hypnotherapy produces outcomes equivalent to face-to-face sessions.
Hypnotherapy is primarily a verbal and auditory intervention. Your practitioner guides you through structured relaxation and visualization using their voice. This means the therapeutic mechanism works identically whether you are in the same room or connected via video.
In fact, many clients report that being in their own familiar environment actually enhances the experience. You are already relaxed in your own space, which can make it easier to achieve the focused state needed for effective gut-directed work. If you are weighing your options, see our comparison of hypnotherapy and CBT for IBS.
A 2020 study published in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics found that remotely delivered gut-directed hypnotherapy produced comparable improvements in IBS symptom severity compared with in-person delivery, with high patient satisfaction rates.
How Virtual Sessions Work
Simple Technology
All you need is a computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and stable internet connection. We use a secure, PIPEDA-compliant video platform. No special software to install.
Session Format
Sessions run 50-60 minutes via live video. You will be guided through evidence-based gut-directed hypnotherapy protocols in real time. We begin each session with a brief check-in on your progress and symptoms. Get a detailed look at what to expect in your first session.
Between Sessions
You will receive guided audio recordings for daily home practice (15-20 minutes). These recordings reinforce the work done in sessions and accelerate your progress between appointments. Read our guide on the typical treatment timeline and what to expect at each stage.
