How does Mindful Hypnosis help sleep, stress, and menopause?

Dr. Liz Slonena was interviewed by Travis Richardson on the Wellness in Asheville Podcast to discuss how Mindful Hypnosis can become your brain's natural medicine cabinet.

Dr. Liz Slonena is a clinical psychologist, award-winning hypnotherapist, and co-creator of Mindful Hypnosis located in Asheville, NC. Her Mindful Hypnosis guided meditations have reached millions on Insight Timer, Aura, and YouTube.

What is Mindful Hypnosis?

Mindful Hypnosis is an evidence-based, science-backed approach that blends mindfulness and clinical hypnosis to rapidly reduce stress. Mindful Hypnosis and Mindful Hypnotherapy can help clients sleep better, manage stress, and ease perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes. Mindful Hypnosis is designed for busy adults – creative professionals, entrepreneurs, and therapists – who need quick, lasting relief.

Travis opens the conversation with something many of us have quietly wondered: is there a way to access the profound mental states that plant medicine and psychedelics offer, without any substances at all? Dr. Liz answers with a resounding yes. And the science backs it up.
