With nearly two decades of experience in marketing and public relations, I’ve had the privilege of working with Fortune 500 companies and leading nonprofit organizations across the U.S. My journey into hypnosis began when my pediatrician recommended we consider it as an adjunct therapy for my child who had been diagnosed with ADD. While initially skeptical, we eventually turned to hypnosis for support and were amazing by the effectiveness.

Through the life-changing power of hypnosis, combined with traditional medical and educational support, my child made remarkable progress. This experience opened my eyes to how the subconscious mind plays a pivotal role in behavior, mindset, and overall well-being.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I was inspired to pursue advanced education in hypnosis and mental training, learning from some of the world’s leading psychologists, nurse anesthetists, and hypnotherapy instructors.

As a Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists and a Performance Mindset Expert, I specialize in mindset training, sports hypnosis, stress reduction, and overcoming limiting beliefs to adopt new habits and perspectives. My approach integrates proven techniques such as Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and CBT to help clients unlock their full potential and achieve lasting positive change.

I am deeply committed to supporting my clients' personal growth, whether through overcoming stress and self-doubt, or achieving peak performance in athletics. As a lifelong learner, I continuously enhance my skills to provide the highest level of support.

Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, I offer virtual hypnosis and coaching sessions to clients nationwide, enabling you to experience the benefits of hypnosis and mindset training from the comfort of your own home or office.

Honkonen Hypnosis is forever dedicated to my son, who showed me the profound power of the subconscious mind — which I have humbly come to understand as a captivating blend of both science and mystery.
