Scientists have been studying how hypnosis affects the immune system for years—and the results are remarkable.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology (2002) by Palsson and colleagues found that people with ulcerative colitis who used hypnosis had significantly reduced inflammation and longer periods without flare-ups compared to those who didn't. Many were able to reduce their medication doses.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Research in the journal Rheumatology (2007) showed that hypnosis helped reduce pain, morning stiffness, and the number of painful joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients also reported better sleep and improved daily functioning.

Psoriasis: Studies have found that hypnosis can reduce the severity of psoriasis symptoms by calming the immune overreaction that causes skin inflammation and scaling.

How does it work? Your immune system is controlled by your nervous system. When you're stressed or anxious, your body releases chemicals that increase inflammation and trigger autoimmune responses. Hypnosis calms your nervous system, reduces stress hormones like cortisol, and helps regulate immune function. Think of it as teaching your immune system to calm down and stop overreacting.

My specialized program works alongside your medical treatment to help your body heal from within. Hypnosis doesn't replace your doctors or medications—it enhances your body's natural ability to regulate inflammation and reduce symptoms.

Every autoimmune condition is different, and every person's experience is unique. That's why I create a completely customized San Diego autoimmune hypnosis program based on:

During your sessions, you'll experience deep relaxation that allows your nervous system to reset and your body to shift into healing mode. You'll learn powerful techniques to manage stress, reduce pain, and support your immune system's proper functioning.

Important note: Hypnosis works best as a complement to medical care, not a replacement. Always continue working with your healthcare providers while adding hypnosis to your wellness toolkit.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Multiple studies show hypnosis significantly reduces inflammation, extends remission periods, and improves quality of life for both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Strong evidence for pain reduction, decreased morning stiffness, improved joint function, and better sleep quality.

Psoriasis: Excellent results for reducing skin inflammation, itching, and the psychological stress that worsens symptoms.

Fibromyalgia: Significant improvements in pain management, sleep quality, fatigue levels, and overall functioning.

Multiple Sclerosis: Helps manage pain, fatigue, stress, and improves quality of life, though it doesn't change disease progression.

Imagine having more good days than bad days. Picture participating in activities without constant pain. Think about feeling hopeful about your future instead of defeated by your condition.
