If this sounds familiar

You keep it all together for everyone else, then quietly run yourself into the ground. You have tried to think your way calm. The exhaustion stays. That is not a flaw in you. It simply lives a layer beneath the thinking mind.

A gentler way through

What if calm did not have to be something you force?

Sara's work meets you a layer beneath the thinking mind. Hypnosis guides your brain into a theta state, the same deep, focused calm you drift through as you fall asleep, where the subconscious is open and old patterns can actually shift.

Together you settle a dysregulated nervous system and rewire the beliefs that keep you in survival mode. Many clients describe it as far better than meditation, and a real alternative to traditional talk therapy.

You stay fully awake the whole time
You stay in control from start to finish

I just had my first ASMR hypnosis session with Sara Macel, and it was such a unique and wonderful experience!

I found Sara on YouTube, a video that promised deep sleep through hypnosis. I tried it that night and for the first time slept 10 hours straight.

I have had over half a dozen sessions with Sara and had a wonderful experience. Sara has such a warm and welcoming personality.

Amber LaPrairie · Half a dozen sessions

★★★★★

My session with Sara was really beneficial. I was clear on the block I wanted help with, yet Sara's questioning techniques created even more clarity.

Ben Bradley · Working through a block

★★★★★

Sara is extremely intuitive and was attuned to what was true for me, as opposed to projecting anything onto me.

A word from Sara

I found this work by living it.

I know the survival mode you are in, because I lived it. I came through my own anxiety, depression and emotional exhaustion with hypnosis, and I built this practice in 2018 to help other women do the same.

My work is grounded in the science of the nervous system, not mysticism. I stay fully present with you, I never project onto you, and I will always be honest about whether this is right for you.
