In-person in Stamford, CT, and online.
How Hypnosis Creates Real Change
Trance is a natural state of focused attention—like the calm, absorbed feeling you get while daydreaming or listening deeply to music. In this state, your mind is more open to creating lasting change.
I use clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, and mind-body tools to help you access this state and unlock your own ability to heal and grow.
​
The subconscious mind runs the show. It controls your habits, your pain responses, your stress reactions, and your access to deeper wisdom. When you work directly with the subconscious through trance, you can shift what feels stuck, heal what hurts, and access what's been hidden.
True change rarely happens in a single session. That's why I offer structured programs that give us the time and space to move beyond temporary relief into lasting transformation.
Three Pathways to Work With Me
Whatever brings you here, the process is the same: we work with trance states to access your subconscious mind and create the change you're seeking.
Breakthrough
Hypnosis
For habits, stress, and behavioral change
Break free from patterns that no longer serve you—smoking, stress eating, procrastination, anxiety, or limiting beliefs. This pathway uses clinical hypnosis to rewire subconscious patterns and create new, empowering responses.​
​
Best for:
People ready to change specific habits or behaviors and build lasting stress resilience.
Spiritual Hypnosis
& Soul Work
For spiritual development and inner exploration
Explore past lives, connect with spiritual guidance, heal soul-level wounds, and access deeper wisdom. This pathway combines clinical hypnotherapy with transpersonal methods for profound spiritual transformation.
​
Best for:
People seeking spiritual insight, soul-level healing, or connection to their higher self and spiritual guides.
Pain Alchemy Hypnosis
For chronic
mind-body pain
If you've been told "there's nothing physically wrong" or you've exhausted medical options without relief, hypnosis can help. This pathway is designed for neuroplastic pain—chronic pain that originates in the nervous system, not tissue damage.​
​
Best for:​
People with chronic pain who resonate with the work of Dr. John Sarno or Dr. Howard Schubiner and are ready to address the mind-body connection.
Not Sure Which Pathway Is Right for You?
Many people discover that what brings them here is just the doorway.
​
Stress shows up in the body. Pain carries emotional weight. And spiritual exploration is often most powerful when your nervous system feels safe and balanced.
My work meets you at the doorway you choose—and guides you toward the deeper transformation waiting at the intersection.

A Path of Listening—To Others and Within
My journey began in labor organizing after earning my degree in Industrial & Labor Relations from Cornell University. I spent years helping people reclaim their voice and power in the workplace.
​
But over time, that external mission turned inward. I became deeply curious about how individuals change—not just through strategy, but through awareness. Not just at work, but in the body, mind, and soul.
​
Motherhood deepened that shift. Practicing Elimination Communication (EC) with my baby taught me that humans are born with intuitive intelligence—and often trained to ignore it. That experience became a foundation for how I listen today: to my clients, to the body's signals, and to the subconscious wisdom that surfaces when we slow down and tune in.
​
That same way of listening is now at the heart of everything I do—whether guiding individuals one-on-one through hypnosis, or creating community experiences at the Green Witch School of Practical Magic.
Science Meets Spirit
I hold a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from HMI College of Hypnotherapy—a rigorous 700-hour, yearlong program—with specialty certifications in pain management, trauma recovery, and cancer support hypnosis.
​
I am a Reiki Master and have trained in transpersonal hypnosis methods including Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) and Spiritual Hypnosis. These practices allow me to weave science and spirit into each session, meeting people where they are with both grounded clinical methods and intuitive depth.
​
I sometimes weave energy work into sessions when appropriate. While not every client is drawn to it, I find the body often responds positively to gentle, intuitive support—whether or not the conscious mind "believes" in it.
​
Not everyone comes seeking spiritual insight. Some come for practical change. Many discover both.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Sessions are personalized, collaborative, and responsive. I meet you where you are—with the presence of a seasoned guide and the respect of someone who believes that real healing can only happen when you're truly heard.
​
You might come to:
-
Calm your system and get out of survival mode
-
Rewire patterns of pain or reactivity
-
Explore a deeper spiritual path
-
Shift limiting beliefs or behaviors
-
Connect with your inner knowing
Whatever brings you here, I'll walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own inner healing.
What clients have said:
"My session with Marija felt like a soul retrieval. I was guided into a space where I could face and release deep past traumas — some I didn’t even realize I was still carrying. What came through felt ancient, wise, and true. I left feeling lighter, freer, and more connected to myself.”
- Ashleigh W, Stamford, CT
“Within just ten minutes, Marija guided me into my subconscious and helped me uncover answers to questions I had been carrying for so long. I was astonished how quickly and accurately she helped me access those deeper layers. She created a safe, compassionate space where transformation happened naturally. I left each session feeling more connected and empowered. ”
-Denise V, San Diego CA
“Marija is an incredible, precise, and compassionate practitioner. Her sessions have helped me release physical pain, resolve inner conflict, and grow as a person. In one session, she helped me move through emotions that had held me back for years. The wisdom I’ve gained has truly changed my life."
-Giedre K, Wilton, CT
Where We Work Together
Most of my programs take place at Artemisia Integrative Wellness Center in Stamford, CT, a welcoming space designed for deep work and transformation. Hypnotherapy in a consultation room, or Relaxation-focused hypnosis in the Himalayan Salt Room.
​
For select programs and private coaching intensives, I also see clients in Greenwich, CT, as well as online via Zoom for those outside the area.
​
For clients with health challenges—or those who simply prefer the privacy of home—I offer in-home sessions locally for an additional travel fee.

No matter the setting, my approach is the same: guiding you into trance states that create transformation and healing.
