About Lorraine
Hi, I’m Lorraine, founder of Everyday Hypnosis.
I help people shift the habits, patterns, and emotional responses that shape their daily lives. Through focused, collaborative subconscious work, real and lasting change becomes possible—one step at a time.
Before becoming a certified hypnotist, I spent years teaching across elementary, secondary, and adult education. That background continues to shape my approach, grounding it in how people actually learn, grow, and create sustainable change.
My path into hypnosis began through my own experience. Like many, I struggled with patterns that didn’t shift through willpower alone. Hypnosis showed me how powerful the mind can be when guided effectively, allowing me to create lasting change in my thinking, habits, and daily life.
I’m professionally trained through the Hypno-Healing Institute and a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH). I’m also a certified yoga instructor, bringing a mind–body perspective into every session.
Through Everyday Hypnosis, I support clients in reducing stress, changing unwanted habits, building confidence, and creating healthier patterns of thought. My approach is personalized, supportive, and rooted in the belief that transformation starts with small, intentional shifts.
Everyday people. Everyday change.

Managing stress or anxiety that shows up in both their mind and body
Frustrated with habits that feel automatic or out of their control
Tired of relying on willpower and ready for a more effective approach
Lacking confidence or constantly second-guessing themselves
Wanting to feel more calm, in control, and consistent in their daily life
Ready for real change—but need support creating it in a sustainable way
If you feel drawn to this work, you are welcome here.
My Services
Stress & Emotional Well-Being
Modern life can feel overwhelming, and stress often shows up in both the mind and body. Through hypnosis, we work to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and create a greater sense of balance and ease.
This work may support:
Stress and anxiety reduction
Overthinking and mental overwhelm
Emotional resilience
Sleep improvement
Relaxation and nervous system regulation
Sessions are designed to help you feel more grounded, present, and in control of your inner state.
Habits & Behaviour Change
Many habits operate below conscious awareness, which is why they can feel so difficult to change through willpower alone. Hypnosis works at the subconscious level to help shift automatic patterns and create healthier responses.
This work may support:
Breaking unwanted habits - smoking cessation
Reducing compulsive behaviours
Creating healthier routines - weight management
Improving consistency and self-discipline
Letting go of patterns that no longer serve you
The goal is not force or restriction—but creating change that feels natural and sustainable.
Confidence and Personal Growth
The way you think about yourself shapes how you show up in every area of life. Hypnosis can help you reframe limiting beliefs, strengthen self-trust, and build a more confident, empowered mindset.
This work may support:
Building confidence and self-esteem
Shifting limiting beliefs
Improving motivation and focus
Preparing for important events or transitions
Creating a more positive self-image
Together, we focus on helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction.
Testimonials
My experience working with Lorraine has been nothing short of transformative. I felt so safe, supported, and held throughout every session. She creates a space that is completely non-judgmental, allowing you to open up at your own pace without pressure.
She takes her time and truly listens, which made such a difference for me. Through our work together, I was able to release deep emotions from my childhood, and I honestly feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
Lorraine is incredibly kind, passionate, and wise beyond her years. I’m so grateful to have worked with her, and I know she has a gift for helping others create real change in their lives.
-Shauna Myton
Lorraine’s approach focuses on creating lasting change by working directly with the subconscious mind—where habits, emotional responses, and thought patterns are formed.
Rather than relying on willpower or surface-level strategies, her work is designed to shift the underlying patterns that drive stress, behaviour, and self-perception. This allows change to feel more natural, consistent, and sustainable over time.
Her sessions are structured, personalized, and collaborative. Drawing on her background in education, she guides clients through a clear and supportive process, helping them build awareness, develop new patterns, and strengthen their ability to respond differently in everyday life.
With a strong focus on nervous system regulation, habit change, and mindset, her work bridges the gap between mental and physical experience—supporting clients in feeling more calm, in control, and confident in how they move through their day-to-day lives.
