How Hypnosis Works

Welcome to my site! I’m Dr. Diana Walsh. I was certified as a hypnotherapist in 2000 and since then, I’ve been privileged to help thousands of clients. My practice is located in Benicia, CA.

I trained with Holly Holmes Meredith, Marilyn Gordon, Gil Boynes, Gerald Kein, Randall Churchill, and Don Mottin, among others. I use both directive and non-directive methods, NLP, and energy techniques such EFT and other energy techniques.

I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and have experience working with severely addicted and alcoholic clients. I’ve worked full-time in the healing professions since 1977, and have been in private practice as a Doctor of Chiropractor since 1987.

As a Chiropractor, I noticed that my smokers and/or overweight patients took longer to heal, and depression or anxiety was also a barrier to healing. I became a hypnotherapist to help my patients transform habits and attitudes to regain their health.

Working with clients over the years, I’ve discovered that images, words, and ideas can be as powerful an enhancement to healing as diet, exercise, chiropractic adjustments, and acupuncture. I help clients remove old habits and beliefs that interfere with healing and I install new images of success and vibrant good health.

I was one of the very first practitioners in the United States to be certified in Auriculotherapy, a type of ear acupuncture Auriculotherapy has been used extensively for eliminating addictive behaviors and reducing appetite, as well as providing relief from anxiety and pain.
