Not at all. This experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Abbey guides every element of the afternoon with clear, grounded instruction so you always know what's happening and what to expect. First-timers often say it's the most natural thing they've ever done.

Not what you've seen in the movies. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused, relaxed awareness... one your brain actually moves in and out of every day. That moment just before you fall asleep, or when you're so absorbed in something that time disappears... that's it. In this guided experience, Abbey uses that deeply receptive state to help your subconscious mind release old patterns and open to something new. You are aware, you are safe, and you are always in control.

That nervousness is completely normal... and honestly, it means you're taking this seriously. The idea that hypnosis is something that happens to you is one of the biggest myths about this work. It's simply a deeply relaxed, focused state of awareness... one you've likely already experienced without realizing it. Abbey's approach is gentle, conversational, and always within your control. All you have to do is show up and be willing. The nervousness usually dissolves within the first few minutes.

No. From Within is a transformational experience, not a therapeutic one. While Abbey brings 16+ years of clinical training to the way she holds space, this retreat is designed for growth, not treatment. It is not a substitute for mental health care. If you're currently in therapy, this experience can be a beautiful complement to that work.

No. This work is rooted in neuroscience, somatic practice, and subconscious change methodology. It is not affiliated with any religion or spiritual tradition. Women of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome.

Never. This is your experience and your journey. Sharing is always optional. The space is held with deep care for everyone's comfort and privacy.

Absolutely... and many women do. Part of what makes this retreat so special is the instant sense of connection that forms in a room of women doing this kind of work together. You will not feel alone for a single moment.

Wear something comfortable that you can move and relax in. Think soft layers... you may want to be cozy during the hypnosis journey. A water bottle is a great idea. A yoga mat or towel to lay on. Everything else will be provided. Full details will be sent to registered guests closer to the date.

If you're asking that question... something in you is already paying attention. You don't need to have it all figured out before you walk through the door. You just need to be open. This experience is designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you're in the middle of a big transition, quietly craving something different, or simply feeling like there's a next version of you waiting and you're not quite there yet. Trust the part of you that led you here.

Because this is a small, capped experience with limited seats, all sales are final. If something comes up, your ticket may be transferred to another woman with advance notice. Please reach out directly if you have a situation and we will do our best to work with you.
