Board-Certified hypnotist in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor & Online

Hi, I'm Jessi McAnelly.

Former overthinker. Recovered self-doubter. Now the person I kept trying to become.​

Jessi McAnelly - Moon Hypnosis

I used to live almost entirely in my head.

Overthinking everything. Talking myself out of things before I even started. Numbing out when it got to be too much - and then feeling worse for it.

What changed wasn't discipline or willpower.

It's about updating the Emotional Identity Root so that I don't have to fight myself to change, create, and follow through.

That's what I help you do too.

Most approaches work on the surface.

They give you strategies, coping tools, new behaviors to practice.

And sometimes those help.

But if the emotional pattern underneath hasn't changed, you'll keep running into the same wall... just with better coping mechanisms.

That's why I work with what I call the Emotional Identity Root...

It's that place where your feelings about yourself were first formed, and where the pattern actually starts.

When we shift it at the subconscious level with hypnosis - that layer of programmed thoughts, feelings, and reactions - you don't have to white-knuckle your way into new behavior.

The behavior changes because you've changed at the root.

The challenges I help with:

Hypnosis is a super versatile approach that works on the things you've been struggling to solve with willpower, logic, and sheer determination - the ones that keep coming back anyway.

That's because they don't live where you've been working.
They live in the subconscious programming beneath the surface.

Looking for something else?

​These are the most common issues, but it isn't an exhaustive list. People come to me for all kinds of challenges, and you might be looking for something else.

Bring yours to me on a 15-minute strategy call, and we'll figure out if hypnosis is the right solution for you.

A little about my background.

I've been a board-certified hypnotist since 2021, certified with the International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy. But honestly, the credential that matters most is that I've done this work myself, not just studied it.

I was featured on the Work Smart Hypnosis Podcast with Jason Linett, where I talked about my own transformation and how a chance encounter with language and NLP changed the direction of my life entirely.

And the results I see with clients? They rarely stay contained to the thing they came in for.

One came to me to build confidence. Over the last few years, she's well into building her dream career after being too afraid of taking the first steps. Another came in for stress and ended up finishing the book he'd been sitting on for years. When the root shifts, things move in ways you don't always expect.

This work is for you if:

You're self-aware. You've probably already done some version of inner work - therapy, journaling, personal development - and you've learned things about yourself.

​But knowing your patterns and actually being free of them are two different things.

You're a thinker, maybe a creator. You feel things deeply, and you're drawn to approaches that go beyond the surface.

​You're not looking for quick fixes. You're ready to go deep for lasting change.

​You're ready to stop managing the "symptom" of your challenge and find the source.

When I'm not in session:

I continue to challenge myself in new and interesting ways.

​I built this website and started writing blog posts.

I create content, even though the old me would have talked herself out of it before hitting publish. You can find me on YouTube and TikTok and Facebook.

​I learned about the stock market and started trading a couple years ago - which, if you know anything about trading, requires a level of emotional steadiness I genuinely didn't have before hypnosis. Now I'm building my wealth in the background.

I have a side hobby of learning about anthropology and archaeology and human history in my free time, and I do a little German Duolingo every day to expand my brain.

​None of that happened because I suddenly became a more disciplined person. It happened because I got to the root of hiding myself, people pleasing, and overthinking.

“ Put yourself out there, even if it seems like the scariest thing. It is only scary until it is actually out there.”
