The Practitioner
Meet Sarah Riley — Certified Hypnotherapist
Born in Hitchin, England, Sarah was drawn to hypnosis early — and after experiencing its transformative effects firsthand, she knew she had to help others the same way.
Refusing quick weekend certifications, she completed a rigorous year-long course to earn her A.M.I.H. — Associate of the Midlands Institute in Hypnosis — then trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming at Covent Garden, London under renowned practitioners Julie Silverthorn and John Overdurf.
After relocating to Florida in 2007, Sarah earned her Clinical Hypnotherapist (CHt) qualification at the Florida Institute of Hypnotherapy in Tampa, later adding QHHT, Reiki Master, and Mesa Carrier certifications. Today she brings more than 500 hours of training and 18+ years of practice to every client who walks through the door.

Understanding the Practice
What Is Hypnosis — and Why Does It Work?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state we all pass through daily — just before sleep, upon waking, even while driving a familiar road. In session, a trained hypnotherapist uses that relaxed, focused state to address the thoughts and behaviors holding you back.
From birth to about age seven, the subconscious mind absorbs everything as fact. Many of the beliefs running your life today were written then — and no longer serve you. Using imagery and positive suggestion, we return to those formative moments as the adult you — to heal, repair, and release what no longer belongs.
- Not mind control — you are always in control
- A naturally occurring, scientifically supported state
- No secrets revealed — you'll remember everything
- Nothing to do with the occult
- The only requirement: a genuine desire to change
Body asleep · Mind awake
Most clients describe hypnosis as the drifting calm just before sleep — deeply restful, yet aware and focused the entire time. You leave feeling rested, clear, and lighter than when you arrived.
It works wonderfully alongside care from your doctor or counselor. Hypnotherapy is complementary and non-medical: it doesn't diagnose or treat medical conditions — it changes the patterns underneath them.

Sleep & Insomnia Support
Teach your mind to let go at night. Hypnosis helps quiet the late-night mental chatter and re-establish the natural slide into deep, restorative sleep.
Fears & Phobias
Flying, needles, public speaking, driving — phobias are learned responses, and what was learned can be unlearned, gently and at your pace.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
Release the outdated childhood beliefs that whisper "you can't," and rediscover the capable, worthy self underneath them.

Common Questions
Hypnotherapy FAQ
Does hypnotherapy really work?
Yes — hypnosis is a naturally occurring, scientifically supported state of focused relaxation. When you genuinely want to change and are open to helpful suggestion, hypnotherapy helps update outdated beliefs and habits at the subconscious level, often in far fewer sessions than talk-based approaches alone.
Is hypnosis mind control? Will I lose control?
No. Hypnosis is not mind control and has nothing to do with the occult. You remain in control the entire time, you cannot be made to do anything against your values, no secrets are revealed, and you will remember everything from your session.
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
It depends on your goal. Some focused issues are addressed in just a few sessions, while deeper patterns such as anxiety, fears, or confidence typically benefit from a short series. We discuss a realistic plan in your free consultation — no pressure, no surprises.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Deeply relaxing — most clients describe it as the calm, drifting feeling just before sleep, while the mind stays aware and focused. Body asleep, mind awake. You'll leave the session feeling rested and clear.
What is QHHT past life regression?
QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) is Dolores Cannon's method of deep regression hypnosis. In an extended session you explore memories and scenes your subconscious presents — sometimes from this life, sometimes beyond it — to find understanding and healing around present-day challenges. Sarah is a certified QHHT Level 1 Practitioner.
How much does hypnotherapy cost in the Orlando area?
Your first consultation is always free. Standard hypnotherapy is $125 per hour, billed in 15-minute intervals — a typical session runs about two hours. Extended QHHT regression sessions are $400 and average six hours. Payment is accepted by cash, check, credit card and Zelle.
Do you offer online hypnotherapy sessions?
Hypnotherapy sessions are held in person at the Sorrento, FL office — a short drive from Mount Dora, Apopka, Eustis and the greater Orlando area. If you can't make it in person, online guided meditation sessions are available — ask during your free consultation.
Is hypnotherapy a replacement for medical care?
No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary, non-medical practice. It works wonderfully alongside care from your doctor or licensed mental health provider, but it does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and you should never stop prescribed treatment without consulting your physician.
