What is Hypnosis, Exactly?

Jessi McAnelly - Moon Hypnosis

It’s not magic.

It’s not mind control.

​It's about putting YOU back in the driver's seat of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

To put it simply...

Hypnosis is a process that helps you tap into the part of your mind that’s built for learning.

That way, you can update your brain’s internal habits, reactions, and routines without needing to force it, so you...

  • Stop telling yourself all the reasons you "can't" reach your goals.
  • Clear out the inner clutter that was weighing you down.
  • Retrain your habits for effortless action & reach your goals faster & easier.

It’s about helping your brain and nervous system get on board with the change you want, so you stop constantly fighting against your old habits.

In hypnosis, you're awake and aware.

And your mind becomes more focused, more receptive, and better able to let go of outdated patterns that no longer serve you.

That "learning mode" is where real change starts to click...

And where my clients begin to feel like themselves again...

​But clearer, calmer, and more in control.

Why Hypnosis Works When Willpower Doesn't...

Most people think that if you want to make real change, you’ve got to muscle through it, trying to force your way to better habits:

  • More discipline?
  • More willpower?
  • More pressure

But what if you didn’t have to keep pushing uphill?

What if you could gently (and effectively) update the automatic patterns that keep looping in the background—without needing to white-knuckle your way forward?

So that, instead of...

  • Feeling caught in a loop of trying harder and exhausting yourself
  • Starting over again and again, hoping something clicks
  • Wondering why you can’t stay consistent even though you want to...

You learn how to train your mind and work with your natural learning system, so change feels smoother, more aligned, and a whole lot less exhausting.

That way, now you...

  • Respond differently in situations that used to throw you off
  • Stay more connected to your goals and follow through with less resistance
  • Build patterns that support the life you’re actually trying to live

That's exactly where hypnosis comes in...

As a business owner, swing trader, and recovered overthinker, I know exactly what it's like when your brain feels like it has 78 open tabs...

Second-guessing, spiraling, and feeling totally stuck—when all you really want is to move forward on your goals.

In fact, I spent years overwhelmed and unhappy, battling alcohol and cocaine addiction, anxiety, and weight issues.

Everything changed when I stopped fighting my mind and started working with it.

Now I help you do the same with hypnosis & mindset coaching:

  • Stop telling yourself all the reasons you "can't" reach your goals.
  • Clear out mental & emotional clutter that was stalling you out.
  • Retrain your brain for effortless action & reach your goals faster & easier.

If you're done spiraling, stalling, or trying to “push through” again…

Let’s reset your mind and get you moving. For real this time.
