Tips for Successful Virtual Sessions
Over the years, clients from around the world have benefited from virtual sessions I have facilitated. From India to Germany, Japan to Ireland, and California to Florida, hundreds of clients have achieved great success through their remote hypnosis sessions. Our sessions include energy clearing, spirit assistance, past lives, and regression to cause processes. Over the past few years, I have facilitated hundreds of hypnosis and energy-clearing sessions successfully from my home-based office.
These remote-based sessions provide clients the benefit of staying in one place, which lessens the stress of having to drive somewhere and relax on command. It also affords them personal privacy and security. After the session, clients embrace the opportunity to take extra time to process the information in their own quiet space, without having to get up and drive home immediately. People have held sessions while relaxed on their beds, couches, cars, in offices, hammocks, dorm rooms, and even the tack room in their stables!
These home-based sessions also afford me the luxury of staying home for all of us, especially when the weather is challenging, which means fewer cancellations. Also, I can put supper on at a reasonable time and enjoy the gardens around my home to balance my energy between sessions. Please note, I have a quiet house with a few sleepy cats. People with busy households and dogs may have challenges maintaining boundaries to create a quiet space to focus on clients without distractions.
Suggestions for rewarding remote hypnosis sessions
Preparation:
Hire a good webmaster.
Use online scheduling software (Acuity is one option).
Subscribe to Zoom Meetings for sessions and Zoom Webinar if you are training.
Include a description of the Zoom service on the website and in the scheduling email.
Offer an optional 15-minute free telephone consultation to discuss options.
Set up an online payment system through your website (Stripe or PayPal).
Include a minimum registration fee to secure appointments.
Send the Zoom link for the session one or two days in advance.
Schedule an hour between sessions to allow for log-in glitches and personal energy escape.
Your Space:
Your office area must be a private, quiet place without distractions.
Position yourself so you are clearly seen, with soft lighting on your face.
Invest in a camera, microphone, and up-to-date computer.
A landline connection is best – WIFI can be unstable.
Limit the number of other applications open during sessions.
Use music for you only. Keep it low, as it can be distracting to clients.
Initial Session (intake only):
Get comfortable with technology.
Be flexible and patient with clients who have login issues.
Let them get comfortable with the computer, iPad, or smartphone.
If it takes extra time to log in, add that time to the end of the session.
If their signal is unstable, have them turn off other applications.
Expectations for future sessions:
Remove distractions – a quiet place with all phones on silent.
Family – must be asked to respect their privacy.
Pets – dogs outside (they bark), cats are okay (they will jump on laps).
Relaxing space – couch, bed, comfy chair, car, closet, hammock.
Head/neck – supported by a cushion.
Hands – must be free with their device propped up.
Lighting – soft light from the front to clearly see their face.
Sound – headphones are optional for their convenience.
Initial Conversation
During the initial consultation, I let them know that clients really enjoy the home or remote office-based sessions. They have less stress from having to drive somewhere to be on time, and they relax more comfortably in their own familiar space. After the session, clients have the opportunity to remain in a relaxed state to process their experience more fully, rather than returning to full awareness and leaving the space.
At the beginning of the first hypnosis session, set the expectation by telling them that no one ever gets stuck in hypnosis. Give this direct suggestion: “If, for any reason, we lose connection, you will notice that I have stopped talking. You will gently come to a waking level of trance and call or Zoom back into the session. I will wait for you.” Be sure you have their mobile phone number in case you need to reach out to them.
Inclement Weather
Please note that I avoid doing intense or regression journeys on days of inclement weather or when the connection seems unstable. Instead, I choose a more uplifting, self-hypnosis, or positive reinforcement session for that day and reserve more intense sessions for another time.
Remote Training Programs
My clients and I truly enjoy remote sessions, and I have developed highly successful remote training programs. In my remote training programs, classes are scheduled weekly or biweekly, and trainees are assigned homework to practice with their own clients. When they return to the next class, they will have had active experiences with applicable questions to be addressed before moving on to the next phase of instruction.
