Have a question?
Check out the most common questions we’re asked or get in touch at the link below.
What is hypnosis and how does it work?
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of attention where the mind is more open to suggestion. It’s commonly used for behaviour change, stress reduction, and deep self-awareness.
Is there scientific evidence that hypnosis works?
Yes. Peer-reviewed studies show hypnosis can reduce pain, anxiety, and even support behavioural change. Brain imaging also confirms that hypnosis affects neural activity tied to focus and perception.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of tools and principles that help people understand how their thoughts, language, and behaviour interact to shape results. It’s widely used in coaching, leadership, and therapy.
Is NLP evidence-based?
While NLP originated from observing effective therapists, it now draws on research in psychology, communication, and behavioural science. Its tools are used by high-performance coaches, corporate leaders, and change practitioners worldwide.
Can hypnosis and NLP be used together?
Absolutely. Combining NLP techniques with hypnotic processes allows for deeper, faster transformation by aligning conscious goals with unconscious patterns.
Who is hypnosis for?
Hypnosis is safe and effective for most people—whether you’re seeking stress relief, confidence, habit change, or deeper personal insight. It’s not mind control, and you stay aware the whole time.
Can I learn hypnosis or NLP even if I’m not a therapist?
Yes. Soul Anchorage’s trainings are designed for everyday people, coaches, and professionals alike. You’ll learn practical tools to use in real life—not just theory.
What makes Soul Anchorage training different?
Our courses combine science-backed methodology with immersive, hands-on learning. You don’t just study change—you experience it for yourself.
