“I had been looking for a therapist who was trained in hypnotherapy for months because I had read that traditional behavioral therapy combined with hypnotherapy was infinitely more effective in a shorter time frame. Sign me up right!? Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) is a true healer and has a gift for helping heal past trauma in a completely non-judgmental, non-biased way & she will tell you amazing medicine stories of her own while she does it.”
Trauma
“I suffer from anxiety among other issues, and Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) was able to help me identify my triggers and learn new ways to think about them and to cope. She is an amazing listener, has a wealth of experience from various fields of mental and spiritual health, and has challenged me since day 1 to approach my life differently.”
Anxiety & stress
“Through my sessions, I gained so much understanding into connecting with my inner self. I connected with the concept of “self love”, something I struggled with my whole life. I’m so grateful for the experience and I received such an incredible amount of emotional support through a very difficult period of time in my life..”
Personal development
Rochelle (a JoyMind founder) is amazing! When I was going through a very tough time in my life she was the light. I was going through a bad break up and she helped me so much not only through hypnosis but by just speaking with her she gave me so much hope. The hypnosis is great I truly feel like it helped me feel more secure with myself and my relationship and we are now back together and very very happy!
