Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis, really?

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation where your mind becomes calm, alert, and more open to positive change. At NordVaka Hypnosis in Stanwood, WA, hypnosis isn’t about control or tricks — it’s a guided process that helps you access the part of your mind that stores habits, emotions, and beliefs. You stay fully aware and in control the entire time.

How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis works by gently quieting the critical, analytical part of your mind (the conscious) so you can access the subconscious, where long-term patterns and emotions are stored. Using guided imagery, relaxation, and suggestion, we help you replace old mental loops — like anxiety, procrastination, or fear — with calm, confidence, and focus.

What can hypnosis help with?

NordVaka offers hypnosis for a wide range of goals, including: Anxiety and stress relief; Sleep and insomnia support; Confidence and self-esteem; Trauma and emotional release; Addiction recovery and sobriety support; Performance and focus (exams, interviews, sports); Procrastination and motivation. If you’re unsure whether hypnosis can help, we offer a free consultation to discuss your needs.

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes — hypnosis is completely safe when practiced by a certified professional. You can’t get “stuck” in hypnosis or be made to do anything against your will. At NordVaka, sessions are conducted ethically, respectfully, and with full transparency.

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?

That’s completely okay. Hypnosis works at a different level — not just the conscious mind, but the emotional and sensory layers beneath it. Many NordVaka clients come after years of therapy and find hypnosis helps them feel change, not just talk about it.

Where is NordVaka Hypnosis located?

Address: NordVaka Hypnosis Inc. 8701 271st NE Suite 103-A Stanwood, WA 98292. We serve clients from Stanwood, Marysville, Arlington, and Everett, as well as online clients across the U.S.

What is the Nordlys™ Hypnosis Approach?

The Nordlys™ Hypnosis Approach is NordVaka’s unique blend of neuroscience, mindfulness, and compassionate guidance. It helps you uncover the root causes of stress or emotional tension — not just manage symptoms. You’ll learn self-hypnosis tools to reinforce progress between sessions, so your results continue long after the appointment ends.

What is SoulRecall™?

SoulRecall™ is a two-session hypnosis journey designed to help you release emotional imprints, integrate forgotten strengths, and reconnect with your deeper self. It’s especially helpful if you’ve done therapy or personal work but still feel that something’s missing.

What happens in a hypnosis session?

Each session begins with a short conversation about your goals. Then, through guided relaxation, you’ll enter a calm, focused state — like deep meditation. You’ll hear and remember everything, and you can open your eyes at any time. Most clients describe the experience as peaceful, even profound.

Do you offer online sessions?

Yes! NordVaka offers both in-person sessions in Stanwood, WA and secure online sessions via video call. Online hypnosis is equally effective — all you need is a quiet, comfortable space and a reliable internet connection.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients notice changes after just one or two sessions, though lasting transformation often takes a short series (3–5 sessions). Every person’s process is unique — we’ll discuss your goals during your free consultation and tailor a plan that fits you.

How much does hypnosis cost?

Session rates vary depending on length and program type (e.g., standard sessions vs. SoulRecall™). Hypnotherapy is often far more affordable than therapy costs when accounting for co-pays, deductibles, and uncovered costs. For a limited time, our Start 2026 Campaign offers 50% off SoulRecall™ — a two-session deep healing experience. We’ll review pricing and packages during your free consultation. We also accept HSA/FSA debit and credit cards and provide financing through Affirm and Klarna.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit/debit cards, Klarna, and other options available on our booking platform. Full payment is required at the time of booking unless otherwise stated.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Sessions are pre-paid at the time of booking and are non-refundable. However, we will do everything possible to reschedule appointments if less than 72-hours notice is given. Late cancellations (less than 3 business days) and no-shows are also non-refundable. In rare cases where we need to reschedule due to practitioner illness or unforeseen events, you will be offered a full refund or the option to reschedule.
