How It Works & FAQ
What to expect, step by step, and straight answers to common questions.
The process
1. A short WhatsApp chat
You message Ignacio with your goal. He replies personally and tells you if it falls inside his scope. No commitment.
2. Intake
Before your first session you answer a few questions about your goal, your health and anything your doctor should know. This is also where we agree on the suggestions we will use.
3. Your session
We talk, then you experience hypnosis, usually in the same appointment. Online or in person.
4. Practice on your own
You take home a short self-hypnosis practice, so the work continues between sessions.
What a session feels like
Most people describe it as deeply relaxed and quietly focused, a bit like the moment before you drift off, yet you are aware of everything. You hear Ignacio’s voice, you can move, and you can open your eyes whenever you like.
You do not lose control, you do not fall asleep unconscious, and you cannot be made to say or do anything against your wishes. Some people feel heavy and warm, others feel light and calm. Both are normal, and there is no right way to do it.
Afterward you are alert, and you will usually be able to recall what happened. You walk out the same person you were, with a new practice to use.
Online or in person
Sessions are offered both ways. Online sessions happen over video, so you can relax at home without a commute. In-person sessions take place in Hollywood, FL. The method is the same in both, and Ignacio will help you choose.
Common myths
- Myth: it is like stage hypnosis. Stage shows are entertainment. Here, nothing is done to you; you take part.
- Myth: you will say secrets. You stay aware and keep your own values and boundaries.
- Myth: it only works if you are gullible. Willingness and the ability to focus matter more than anything else.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose control?
No. You stay aware and can end the session at any time. You only respond to suggestions you have agreed to.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience hypnosis when they are willing and comfortable. Some respond more easily than others, and your response may grow with practice. If it is not a good match, Ignacio will say so.
Does online hypnosis work?
Many people find it works well. You join from a quiet, private space, wear headphones if you like, and can relax in your own chair or bed.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goal. Many goals are addressed in 1–3 sessions. We confirm the plan in your first WhatsApp chat and revisit it as we go.
Is this therapy?
No. This is non-therapeutic hypnosis and coaching for personal goals. Ignacio is not a licensed health professional and does not diagnose or treat any condition. For medical or psychological concerns, see a licensed provider.
Do you work with minors?
Yes, in some cases, such as youth athletes, with a parent or legal guardian present and consenting throughout.
Can you promise results?
No. Results vary from person to person, and nobody can responsibly promise an outcome. What Ignacio can offer is clear tools, honest feedback and your own practice.
Will sessions be recorded?
Not without your explicit written consent. If you would like a recording for your own practice, ask in advance.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes, with the limits explained on the Disclaimer & Privacy page, such as risk of serious harm or a legal requirement.
How much does it cost?
Fees are shared in the first WhatsApp chat, before you decide anything.
Scope and referrals
Hypnosis Help Center offers non-therapeutic hypnosis and coaching for personal goals. It does not replace medical or mental-health care or treatment. The following are referral-only: for medical or mental-health conditions, a referral from a licensed provider is required, and otherwise Ignacio will point you to a licensed professional:
- Chronic or acute pain
- Panic attacks, anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD or OCD
- Eating disorders and medical weight loss
- Alcohol or drug dependence
- Preparation for medical or dental procedures
- IBS or any diagnosed condition
- Trauma or “memory recovery”
- Past-life regression
Our rule: we work alongside any of these only with a written referral or clearance from your licensed provider. Without it, we decline.
Minors: a parent or legal guardian must be present and consenting.
