How long have you been doing hypnosis professionally?
I've been a fan of hypnosis since I was a young child, however I began doing it professionally and full-time since March 2003. I've hypnotized over 10,000 individual clients (not including group inductions). I have numerous certifications in the fields of hypnosis, NLP, and Time Empowerment. While attending college, I've majored in Psychology and written many research papers on hypnosis and sexuality. My certifications include: Master of clinical hypnotherapy, Master of NLP techniques, Master in Time Empowerment techniques which utilizes elements of Time Line Therapy. My certifications were earned at classes taught by American Pacific University which is approved by The Association of Integrative Psychology. In the summer of 2008, I will become a certified Trainer of NLP and can certify students who want to learn NLP.

What intrigued you to get started in the first place?
Before I became a full-time hypnotist and recording artist, I was a former phone sex operator. At the time, I had many callers tell me that my voice had a mesmerizing, hypnotic tone to it and I always shrugged it off. However one time I decided to do a monotone yet sexually enticing call that ended up hypnotizing him without even realizing it. He absolutely had no recollection of the conversation but had ejaculated. I found it intriguing and began pulling out some of my hypnosis books and researching everything I could get my hands on to get better at it. After studying hypnosis and "practicing" my style on several hundred people, I decided to get certified to get even better. From there, I went from one certification to the next and became a Master in Hypnosis.

What is your favorite type (or fetish) of erotic hypnosis to perform?
Lately, I've been really getting into reverse psychology and persuasive techniques. Some callers tend to refer to this as the total "mind fuck" experience. Those who know me realize I am a trustworthy and honest person, and when they allow themselves to escape into an outrageous fantasy, they sometimes become exposed to fetishes that loosen their boundaries. My favorite type of hypnosis to perform are ones where I take people to the edge of their limits and push them just enough so that they question the unquestionable. That's when I know I've touched an area of their lives they've kept hidden within themselves. In the adult hypnosis industry, I'm known for my work in feminization hypnosis, sissification, and cuckold hypnosis. I find it thrilling to be allowed to guide men and transgenders to explore life (or fantasy) as women! Being a prodominately lesbian woman myself, I truly enjoy lesbian hypnosis the most, as women arouse me tremendously. I also love doing love and addiction fetishes, BDSM and Domination, and brain enslavement, which are my personal favorites! It is extremely flattering when someone asks me to hypnotize them for the sole purpose of falling in love with me. That's an honor.

What kind of advice can you give people who have difficulty "going under"?
I know people always say "relax" and it will work, but some people try relaxing so hard that they are *waiting* for it to happen. It doesn't work like that. Hypnosis only works if you let it work. It's not a magic trick. One of My pet peeves is when someone says, "Your hypnosis didn't work on Me." And that just makes Me laugh because all that means is they weren't paying attention and following instructions. All hypnosis IS is following instructions. If I tell a person to "Close your eyes and imagine them closed so tightly that nothing in the world will pry them apart." Well, if you open them, you weren't following My instructions, were you? You are only proving you are challenging Me and are resisting Me which is only wasting your time and Mine. (What's the point?) The best hypnosis session comes when you aren't even looking for it. Just remember that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. All I am is a guide to help the subject go deeper. Would you like to experience a deep trance?

What length of call time do you recommend for a live phone session?
For first-time callers, I suggest roughly 40-45 minutes which allows a 10-15 minute "pre-interview" to discuss which goals you'd like to achieve and what to expect from your session. After the first call, I suggest 30 minutes for a routine session. Regular callers sometimes do longer periods of time up to an hour. They rarely go longer than that.

Which recording (if any) do you recommend new callers listen to first?
I recommend "Skeptical Slave" and "Lose Control" which are available at IsabellasRecordings.com
