You keep trying to “be reasonable” and somehow end up doing what you don’t want to do anyway.
You can feel the moment you start to cave — then you talk yourself into it like it was your idea.
You’re tired of managing everyone else’s comfort and calling it “being a good person.”
You want to make decisions you can live with — without the apology tour or the resentment hangover.
In four weeks, we zero in on a guilt-driven habit you’ve been running on autopilot.
You'll start to:
Hear your preferences again
Say no without the internal meltdown
Make decisions that feel certain — not stressful
Stop apologizing when there's no reason

These aren’t one-off wins — they’re shifts you’ll keep practicing in real life.

The goal isn't to fix your whole life in
a month.
The goal is to help you finally trust yourself in the moment — so guilt doesn't get the first vote anymore.
That's enough to change how you show up everywhere in your life.

I’m a coach and hypnotherapist for women 50+ who are done letting guilt run the show—and want support making changes without burning down their relationships.
I use two powerful tools that work together:
Coaching — get clear on what you actually want, what needs to change, and what you’re willing (and not willing) to do.
Targeted hypnosis — help your nervous system accept your decision as “true,” so you can act without the heart-pound / stomach-churn.

Working with Jo Ann is a gift.
She helped me reconnect to my sense of self. It feels like I went from living in black and white to
living in technicolor. —K.S.
I felt safe in every session.
Jo Ann created a space where it was easy to open up and finally see what was getting in my way. —S.E.

Hypnosis is a natural state of focus and awareness. It helps you access the subconscious—the place where patterns are created and habits and beliefs are stored—so you can shift patterns at the root level.
Yes. In fact, you already experience light hypnosis when you daydream or get lost in a book. You’re always in control—and most women are surprised by how natural and relaxing it feels.
No. That’s stage-show hypnosis, not therapeutic hypnosis. In real hypnosis, you can’t be made to do anything against your will.
Yes, with rare exceptions. As long as you’re open and willing, a skilled hypnotist can guide you into hypnosis easily.
No, not at all. Your mind is relaxed but alert, and your subconscious is more open to suggestion. Most people feel calm, clear, and refreshed afterward.
Because hypnosis works with the part of your mind that runs on old rules, we can go straight to the beliefs that keep you saying yes when you mean no — “I’ll upset them,” “I’m selfish,” “They’ll be mad forever.”
In Guilt Detox, we use hypnosis to turn down those guilt alarms so your body doesn’t panic every time you hold a boundary. Saying “no” or choosing what works for you starts to feel honest and grounded instead of wrong or dangerous.
