ALI SOTOODEH, CHt HYPNOTHERAPIST

Ali Sotoodeh CHt is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Neuro-Linguistic Programing, Success and Life Coach, Reiki Master and EFT.
The aim of Hypno Dentistry is to help our clients reduce their anxiety without the aid of any drugs. During the hypnosis, the client achieves a state of very deep relaxation, similar to daydreaming, meditation, or being engrossed in a good book. The sensation of being under hypnosis is like the feeling just before falling asleep. During the hypnosis, the patient’s anxiety fades into the background instead of being overwhelming. You are not asleep, just deeply relaxed, yet in full control at all times. Ali Sotoodeh’s CHt Credentials
