Shannon Shade is a registered and accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist with the Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists (ARCH), ensuring a high standard of professionalism and adherence to ethical guidelines.

Her practice is grounded in evidence-based techniques and trauma-informed modalities, so we think she’s able to provide clients with effective and reliable solutions to chronic issues.

We like that Shannon’s approach to hypnotherapy is rooted in compassion and empathy, creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore and heal.

With a deep understanding of the human mind and utilizing scientifically proven methods, she guides individuals through their healing journey with patience, understanding, and genuine care. By harnessing the power of neuroplasticity, she helps clients rewire their brains for lasting positive change.

Shannon goes beyond surface-level symptoms to address the root cause of clients’ issues, facilitating profound and lasting healing. By working with both the conscious and subconscious mind, she uncovers underlying patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to mental and physical challenges, allowing for comprehensive and holistic healing.

All these taken into account, we highly recommend her services!

Christopher Minor helps people overcome physical, mental, and emotional difficulties in their lives through hypnotherapy. 

He is an RTI Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, ICBCH Hypnotist, part of the Results Therapy International Association, and educator at the College of Professional Hypnotherapy.

We like that he can address problems like phobias, self-improvement, regress, anxiety, insomnia, and more. We also heard lots of successful cases from his previous clients.

That said, we like that he offers a free 30-minute consultation, which we think is helpful, especially to those who are a bit iffy with the idea of undergoing hypnotherapy. Plus, they have an online form for a quick booking, which we think is convenient.

Furthermore, he offers a money-back guarantee if you think hypnotherapy is not for you or not effective after the first session. This guarantee shows that he is confident with his practice and genuinely values client improvement.

Conveniently, clients can opt for virtual or in-person sessions, depending on where they feel the most comfortable and safe. We also like that his services are open six days a week.

On the downside, we learned that Zen Level Therapy has no partnerships with insurance companies, so it’s unlikely that your insurance will cover your session.

Dawn Arseneault has affiliations with the International Medical & Dental Hypnotherapist Association, the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, and the International Alliance of Professional Hypnotists.

She provides hypnotherapy services for clients that want to work on their life regression, anxiety, trauma, habits, and more. We heard a lot of great feedback from her clients, especially those that suffered from anxiety.

To add, we are impressed with her highly skilled technique and effectiveness, given that most clients noticed significant improvement and changes after one session. It also means that most of them didn’t need to spend more on multiple sessions.

We also admire her diligence with after-session follow-ups by contacting each client to check up on their progress and need for any further assistance. That said, her friendliness has helped clients feel safe and put more trust in her.

It’s also good that she offers free 15-minute strategy calls to discuss a brief overview of what she can offer to help you make informed decisions.

However, despite her efficient approach, she only offers virtual consultations. We think that clients that don’t have a suitable area, such as being exposed to noise, distraction, and more, can’t maximize their experience and affect the session.

Lastly, we appreciate that she provides free a High-Performance Strategies Manifestation guide and Hypnosis audio, which people can access through their website.

Iuri Alayev offers hypnotherapy for different matters, such as smoking, depression, anxiety, phobias, relaxation, bed wetting, allergies and drinking. To add, he can speak English and Russian and provides sessions in both languages.

He is a Registered and Certified Master Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner in Calgary, Alberta, and a member of the Professional Board of Hypnotherapy. 

We noticed his excellent work with clients that have unwanted habits. For instance, he was able to stop a decade-long smoking addiction after a couple of sessions.

But his skills are not limited to fixing habits; he provides efficient sessions and tools tailored for each client to help them with their situation.

Many of his clients also appreciate that Iuri has free initial consultations. We heard that his initial sessions were almost as insightful as the actual ones.

In addition, we like that he is open seven days a week and even until 8 PM. We believe this can comfortably accommodate clients with late or busy schedules.

He can even provide you with free audio recordings, which will support clients in between and after sessions.

But, as a heads up: they don’t have agreements with insurance companies or health plans to reimburse your hypnotherapy sessions. So we suggest enquiring with your insurance provider to be sure.

Notably, he provides virtual or in-person hypnotherapy — whichever you prefer. This option is crucial, especially for those who don’t have a suitable area to undergo hypnotherapy.

Chris Barry provides hypnotherapy to deal with stress and anxiety, such as smoking cessation, weight loss, insomnia, and many other issues.

Also, he is a member of The Hypnosis Society of Alberta, which assures those uncertain about the process and credibility of practitioners.

Furthermore, we like that he strictly complies with the Code of Ethics and Standards for his methods and practices to ensure that the clients can put their trust in him. 

We also noted how clients are well-informed of the series of steps in the treatment before they proceed.

Notably, he can deal with different problems, from PTSD to weight loss and Fibromyalgia to addictions. We are impressed with the approximately 100% success rate.

Moreover, he is incredibly professional when discussing client problems without making them feel ashamed or helpless. 

On the downside, Chris Barry Hypnosis is closed on weekends, so he won’t be able to entertain those who may have difficulty booking weekday sessions.

We also discovered that they don’t accept debit cards for payments, so we suggest you prepare credit cards, cash, or cheques to avoid delays.

On a positive note, he provides self-hypnosis audio files which have proven to be very useful for clients to go over themselves at home. We think this is also cost-efficient since further sessions aren’t needed.

With over 23 years in the industry, Claire Bramham continues to help clients deal with anxiety, depression, insomnia, fears, and self-limiting beliefs and behaviors through clinical hypnotherapy.

Given that hypnotherapy is not a regulated industry, we like that Claire has a Mastery Level in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Furthermore, she has a Degree in Psychology and a SACH Diploma in Clinical and Analytical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. 

That said, you can avail of their free 15-minute consultation over the phone to check out Claire’s services and get a grasp of her expertise. 

Although, as a heads up: if you plan on cancelling a session, be sure to do it 24 hours before your schedule to avoid any cancellation fees.

Furthermore, their business hours are shorter and more limited than their counterparts. We think this schedule is not doable for many clients, especially those who need to clock in the morning. 

It’s also noteworthy that they offer self-help audio files so clients can undergo some self-hypnosis during their free time. But keep in mind that these are not for free.

Another thing we like is that they have testimonial videos of clients posted on their websites. So you can have a better and more in-depth understanding of their personal experience with Claire and how she has helped them. 

Kristina Founk is an Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists (ARCH) accredited and registered clinical hypnotherapist who received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University.

For quite a number of years she worked for a non-profit organization for crisis counseling.

Personal struggles eventually led her to hypnotherapy, and she eventually enrolled in the intense ARCH Canada Registered Clinical Hypnotherapy program.

We love that she specializes in specifically helping women heal from their past trauma.

What we like about her approach is that she makes use of an evidence-based, trauma-informed modality of hypnotherapy.

What’s more is that her treatment plans are client-centered and tailored for each individual since everyone’s experiences are unique to them.

She’s one that creates a relaxing and healing environment during her sessions. We find that it’s easy to talk to her and she’s an excellent guide.
