I help clients overcome specific fears and break habits, as well as increase their confidence, grow their mindset and empower both their personal and professional lives. I make mental movies for the mind with the power of words, guided pictures and sounds. Today, I enjoy using hypnotic storytelling to help people trance-form their lives. I know the best is yet to come, including many more books and creative media projects and film. I also wrote a science fiction book Quantum Voyeur (2013) for young adults, with another veteran science-fiction writer John Zakour. Meanwhile, I went to school for filmmaking at The New School University and made a documentary Zaritsas: Russian Women in New York (2010) about Russian women stereotypes, which emerged in late 1990s. I had built a practice in Manhattan, on the Upper East Side, helping New Yorkers become a better version of themselves with hypnosis therapy. Soon, the NY Post interviewed me and then the NY Times. I bartered for sessions, wrote blogs and made videos. Meeting other successful NYC hypnotherapists, learning from them and working for them. Upon awakening, I was on autopilot, fearlessly pursuing my goal of becoming a hypnotherapist in New York City, connecting the dots and having fun with it. I saw it, I felt it and I spoke to myself the words of confidence and courage in the state of hypnosis. So, I made a tape and hypnotized myself to believe I was a successful hypnotherapist. I thought to myself, why don’t I become a hypnotherapist?Īt least for now, while building my way up to my big dreams? It would be a great way to help people, make money, and the idea of setting my own schedule and being my own boss was very attractive to me. As I dug deeper and worked with other hypnotherapists exchanging sessions, I saw a tremendous potential in self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy all together. I made tapes to help me speak slower and more pronounced, to be more confident in my acting classes, to become a fearless driver, and tapes to develop a better relationship with money and success. I remember making the recordings, trying to rewrite my old inner narratives I learned growing up. I wanted to be a thriving writer, speaker and filmmaker.Īfter taking my first hypnosis course, I began designing my own self-hypnosis tapes to help me be a better version of me. I could somehow use hypnosis to help me grow up faster and quickly reach my dreams. Not only could I solve the old mystery of hypnosis I had since I was five, but maybe… One day, I came a across an ad in a newspaper for a hypnosis course.
I was 23, finding my way around in the big city of New York, sleeping on a floor mattress in Brooklyn with nothing else but big dreams. I was a total newcomer into a new culture. I wanted to be part of it, the rich social life and going to the best schools and thriving, like many people I met. It was not easy, because I didn’t know anyone and I was learning to survive while being exposed to the many life riches and exuberances of the big city. I came to the US as an exchange student, then travelled back and forth a few times, until I settled in New York City and started my life from scratch. How could hypnosis make them act like little kids all of the sudden? This was a mystery to me, which I wanted to understand. I saw them playing with their imaginary toys and speaking in kid’s voices. To this day, I remember the female hypnotist taking the stage, making adults act like children. My mom took me to see a stage hypnotist show for fun. My first exposure to hypnosis was at five years old in Russia, from where I am originally. It is still a somewhat rare profession, which often evokes many questions and some views built upon old stereotypes of hypnosis.
People often ask me how and why I became a hypnotist.
