Christina C. Honkonen, CH
Performance Mindset Trainer & Hypnotist
I’m a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and Performance Mindset Expert based in Knoxville, Tennessee, helping clients reduce stress, overcome limiting beliefs, and enhance performance through evidence-based hypnosis and mental training. With nearly two decades of professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I bring both scientific grounding and real-world insight to every session.
My journey into hypnosis began as a parent, when hypnosis was recommended as a complementary approach for my son following an ADD diagnosis. The results were profound. Used alongside traditional medical and educational support, hypnosis helped unlock meaningful behavioral and emotional change — offering firsthand insight into the power of the subconscious mind.
Today, I am a Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, with specialized training in stress reduction, performance mindset work, sports hypnosis, and habit change. My approach integrates established techniques and informed mindset training tools (NLP) to support sustainable, measurable results.
I work with athletes, professionals, and individuals seeking greater clarity, confidence, and balance in their personal and professional lives.
Honkonen Hypnosis is dedicated to empowering meaningful change — and is inspired by my son, who first revealed the extraordinary potential of the subconscious mind — where science meets possibility.

My newest practice location is inside the Knoxville Wellness Center in Maryville, a calm and welcoming space designed for focused personal work and meaningful change. This professional wellness environment allows clients to step away from daily distractions and fully engage in the hypnosis process. The center serves clients from Maryville, Knoxville, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.Knoxville Area Sessions
Private sessions are also available for clients in the Knoxville area. Many clients choose this option for convenience and personalized, one-on-one approach focused on achieving lasting change.Virtual Sessions (Nationwide)
For clients who prefer the comfort of home or live outside the East Tennessee region, I offer secure virtual hypnosis and mental coaching sessions. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person work and allow clients across the country to access professional subconscious-focused mental performance training and support.
No matter the format, each session is designed to provide a private, supportive environment where you can focus fully on transformation, clarity, and peak mental performance.
