We recently connected with Stacie Ford and have shared our conversation below.

Stacie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

When I first started my Hypnosis Business I had a full time career in the Commercial Insurance Industry. I took small steps I felt I needed to in order to phase out the the career I had built for over 20 years. I started my business from my home part time in the evenings helping clients. I then decided to make the leap from working full time to part time. Working part time would allow me to build my business along with giving me the capability to help more clients. I did this for about 2 years. I then decided it was time to make the big jump. I quite my career and went full time clinical hypnosis. It was scary but very exciting. I kept thinking to myself if I don’t do it now, when? I loved how I was helping people and the results that were received and achieved by my clients were amazing. I thought to myself YES!!!! Approximately 1 year ago I was able to lease out space and give myself an official office at Selene Healing Studio. It has been the best and most rewarding move I have ever made.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I used to suffer from daily chronic Migraines & Migraines with Aura. The prescription drugs that I experimented with always had side effects that I was unable to accept and handle. Then, I was introduced to Hypnosis & Self Hypnosis. As I began learning the power of the mind and the results I was achieving my self a light bulb went off. If I can help myself just imagine the help I could give other! I always say to myself & my clients “what the mind conceives the body achieves” I am eternally grateful as I have reduced my migraines by 90%.

I have been able to help a wide variety of individuals ranging from reducing & overcoming debilitating anxiety, working through years of physical & mental abuse, PTSD, severe trauma issues, loss and helping my clients gain their power & individuality back. I pride myself on have the compassion and empathy needed to simply listen to their struggles and being able to put a plan in place to bring them out of the dark hole they have been stuck in for so many years. My hope is that one day people will think of Hypnosis as their first choice to help themselves. There is so many stereotypical & misleading information out about hypnosis. I hope that any one that needs help when nothing else has worked to please consider hypnosis. Do the research or simply call and discuss what hypnosis is and what it is not.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

If I could go back, I most definitely would. My only regret is that I did not find Hypnosis earlier in my life. I could only imagine how many more people I could have helped. As I have told myself in the past, we all have paths to walk in our lives and lessons to learn to get where we are today.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Compassion, empathy and simply listening to my clients. I listen to what are they struggling with and what they want to accomplish. I pride myself on being able to offer a intuitively, solid solution on how I can help my clients. The best part is that the help I give is natural, safe and life changing. I offer monthly, local in person, Meditation with Creation workshops. This is a chance for me to offer and teach others about my creative side which introduces a safe space & community to have fun and to learn a hobby which introduces a chance for an individual to continue healing and making the positive changes in their lives.
