Known as the Susquehanna Valley’s Health Hypnotherapist, John Stewart, owner of Lancaster Hypnotherapy, assists clients desiring to lose weight, stop smoking, eliminate unwanted behaviors or seek relief from stress and anxiety. As a clinical hypnotherapist, his professional skills allow a client’s mind to relax and achieve a heightened state of awareness thus allowing the client to take control of life’s challenges.

During a session, a client experiences a state of deep relaxation different from being asleep. Bypassing the critical thinking of the conscious mind and suggesting new ideas to the subconscious mind can break negative thinking cycles.

Stewart is passionate about debunking popular myths that suggest the hypnotherapist controls an individual’s mind and delves into subjects that the client does not want to explore. “You, the client, are the one who is in control,” he says. “My role is to serve as your tour guide. You decide where we go. My job is just to get you there.”
