Learn to Change Your State — And Change Your Life
The work happens in altered states — where attention shifts, imagery leads, and deeper patterns reorganize.
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. Real transformation develops over time — through structured work and learning how to work with your own mind and nervous system.
Many people begin with a focused program designed for real change. Others start by developing these skills gradually through ongoing practice and guided community work.
​
Both paths build the same core abilities — learning to access the deeper states where healing and transformation become possible.
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.
Group Learning and Practice
Some people prefer to begin — or continue — their work in a group setting. These guided experiences provide a structured and affordable way to develop the same core skills: relaxation, trance access, and nervous system regulation.
Trance Practice (Skool)
Online guided training + community
An ongoing guided training community where you learn to enter trance reliably and use it for healing and personal growth.​
​
-
Weekly live guided trance sessions + replays
-
Structured practice tracks (build skill over time)
-
For healing, regulation, and spiritual development
Not Sure Which Pathway Is Right for You?
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.
​
Some people begin with individual programs for focused change. Others start with guided group experiences or ongoing practice communities. Many combine both over time.
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.
