Stress Relief • Chronic Pain Support • Spiritual Growth
Go Beyond Coping.
Step Into Transformation.
I guide people into trance states that create healing and growth—so you can move past stress, pain, or old patterns and open into a freer way of living.
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 hypnosis, guided imagery, and mind-body tools to help you access this state and unlock your own ability to heal and grow.
Whether you come to me for stress relief, support with chronic pain, or curiosity about spiritual hypnosis, the process often reveals more than you expected. 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.
True change rarely happens in a single session. That’s why I offer structured programs and packages that give us the time and space to move beyond temporary relief into lasting transformation. When I know I’ll be working with you over a series of sessions, I can build a progression that creates momentum, trust, and measurable change.
A Path of Listening—To Others and Within
My journey began in a very different place: 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 received a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the HMI College of Hypnotherapy, with specialized training in techniques to reduce stress, manage pain, change habits, and release unconscious blocks.
​​
Over the years, I’ve studied spiritual and energetic practices that inform the way I guide people into trance—meditation, Reiki (as a Reiki Master), dowsing, and transpersonal hypnosis methods like QHHT and Spiritual Hypnosis. These practices allow me to weave science and spirit into each session, meeting people where they are with both grounded 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.

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. For select programs and private coaching intensives, I also see clients in Greenwich, CT, as well as online for those outside the area. And 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.

Watch My Story: From Off-Grid Childhood to Integrative Healing
In this 28-minute interview, I share the story of how childhood intuition, spiritual curiosity, and real-world training came together—eventually leading to the creation of Green Witch School of Practical Magic and Artemisia Wellness Center. You’ll hear about my roots in dowsing and Reiki, my approach to hypnosis for chronic pain and nervous system healing, and the vision behind the community offerings I now lead.
Marija's Hypnosis Training Background
I first discovered the power of hypnosis in 2020 through my study of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique® (QHHT), a method developed by Dolores Cannon that explores past lives and facilitates deep spiritual healing. That experience opened my eyes—and heart—to what’s possible when we work with the subconscious.
​​
Wanting to support people in a wider range of goals and concerns, I enrolled in a yearlong, 700-hour program at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), a nationally accredited college of hypnotherapy. There, I earned my certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist through the American Hypnosis Association, with training in both traditional and advanced techniques.
Since then, I’ve pursued additional training in areas that matter most to the people I work with. I hold specialty certifications in:
​
-
Hypnosis for Pain Management
-
Trauma Recovery Hypnosis
-
Hypnosis for Cancer Support
-
Smoking Cessation Hypnosis
I’ve also completed workshops in:
-
Parts Therapy with Roy Hunter
-
Rapid & Instant Inductions with Sean Michael Andrew
I engage in ongoing professional development through the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), International Medical & Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA), and National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists (NATH)
This training allows me to work safely and skillfully with a wide variety of concerns—from everyday stress to deep emotional wounds—while honoring each person’s unique process.
