Unlock your next level
of performance


Subconscious mindset coaching for high performing leaders, athletes, executives, and entrepreneurs 

You’re a high-functioning person who gets shit done—and thrives on it.


Your roles are high-demand, often high-stress, and you don’t have time to sit in a chair for an hour a week hoping something shifts.

You need a trance-formative tool that effectively cuts through the BS and
elevates you to your next level without adding a shit ton to your plate.

Right now, you’re navigating one (or more) of the following:

  • Elevated stress before high-stakes moments

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Chronic anxiety and/or high baseline stress

  • Fear of public speaking

  • Performance anxiety

You’re ready to operate, live, lead, and execute at a higher level and on a higher frequency without burning yourself out.

You want to rise higher and feel calmer while also staying present, clear, and grounded under pressure.

You’re ready for your mind to work for you and with you—not against you.

how trance-form performance works

Trance-Form Performance is a high touch and fully customized hypnosis-centered modality that brings you into a deeply relaxed, highly focused state—one that quiets your conscious mind and makes your subconscious mind more accessible to receive higher-level information.

In this state, you become more open to new possibilities, and new ways of thinking and being in the world.

This is how you rewire what’s limiting you and how you become the next-level woman you know you’re meant to be.

Through the simple, accessible, and transformative practice of hypnosis, you will:

  • Rewire the subconscious patterns blocking you from breaking through your current glass ceiling

  • Remove the blocks limiting your expansion

  • Upgrade and align your subconscious mind with your next level of desired success

  • Train your mind to operate at your highest level

  • Become the person who is operating that your highest level

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

This process is simple, streamlined, and designed to meet you in the fullness and busyness of your life. Here are the ways we can work together:

Monthly Packages

Warm Up — $350/month

A lighter entry point for staying consistent without a heavier commitment. Not everything calls for the deep end. Sometimes you just need something steady — a little reinforcement, a consistent rhythm to lean on.

  • 1 full session to dive into your goals, strengths, and obstacles

  • 2 sessions/month (30 min each)

  • Custom audio recording (changes as needed)

  • Best for: people easing into the work, or who just need a light, steady touchpoint

Steady State — $650/month

Consistent reinforcement during a season, a build, or a stretch of time that you need the support. This is the maintenance work — the kind you do so you're not scrambling the week before it matters. 

  • 1 full session to dive into your goals, strengths, and obstacles

  • 2 sessions/month (45 min each)

  • Custom audio recording (changes as needed)

  • Text/email access between sessions 

  • Best for: people who want consistent, steady support 

Full Send — $900/month

For people in an active build — training block, launch quarter, campaign season, whatever "in it" looks like for you. Some stretches demand more than a monthly check-in — weekly work, real reps, and a mind that's trained the same way you're training everything else.

  • 1 full session to dive into your goals, strengths, and obstacles

  • Weekly sessions (30 min each)

  • Custom audio recordings as needed

  • Text/email access between sessions 

  • Best for: people who need regular mental reps, not just tune-ups

Single Package

Crunch Time — $500

One event. One shot. Get your head right for it. This is one focused session built around your specific event, plus two 15-minute check-ins to tune up beforehand and debrief after. No homework, no six-week program. Just the mental prep for the thing that's actually in front of you.

  • 1 full session to dive into your goals, strengths, and obstacles

  • 1 custom guided hypnosis session (recorded — yours to keep and reuse)

  • 2 x 15-minute check-ins (pre-event tune-up + post-event debrief)

  • Best for: one-off high-stakes moments, not ongoing training
