About Me

When I try to think about how I came about being a YouTube Hypnotist and Entertainer, my memory does get little fuzzy. I'm like many of you, I had a general interest in the subject of hypnotism, being fascinated to watch a  stage hypnosis show,  and wondering how it might be like to be hypnotized myself. But it was not something I would say I would have made a career move for.

I grew up in Southern California, one of the four children to my middle class parents. I enjoyed the unique yet common childhood of having a twin sister. It was interesting, to say the least. As much as we looked alike, we were so very different, and we continue to be to this day.  

It was recently that I was dealing with what plagues a lot of people - not getting enough sleep. After tossing and turning night after night I looked for ways to help me relax to get better sleep.

I found some help for that while browsing around YouTube and stumbled upon the video genre of Guided Relaxation, which led me to also discover that there were people on YouTube, people who were helping people like me relax better and helping people reach deeper levels of relaxation that I could have imagined - these people being the hypnotists of YouTube.

I was more curious than anything else when watching a self-hypnosis video for the first time. I found that some of the so-called hypnotists of YouTube were better at doing what they do than others in the same genre.

When I did finally find some self-hypnosis YouTube videos that caught my interest, I was shocked to find how very easily I was hypnotizable myself. You begin as a skeptic. Yeah sure, I'll relax, but I thought it would be from boredom if anything. You feel like this until a good hypnosis video hits you like a ton of bricks and you find you're sinking into one of the deepest meditative states you've ever been in. Then on top of that, you then find the hypnotist just has to suggest a few things and then you're as mellow as jello..

It's a good thing that there are some good ethical hypnotist that don't abuse their hypnotic powers and put their talent into good use.

I worked many years in the customer service field,  so talking to people is already second nature to me. I already was helping people with their needs for a very long time.

So when I began watching these self-hypnosis videos, I thought to myself, I can do that too. I befriended one of the YouTube hypnotist and ended up sending him an audio sample of my voice doing a hypnosis session, the next thing I know I was persuaded to not just play with the idea of doing just one hypnosis video, but really start making them regularly to entertain the audience of people who enjoy self-hypnosis on YouTube.

So here I am, it's early into the start of this journey into broadcasting myself for the entertainment of others but I'm really enjoying a sense of evolving and helping others in their hypnotic needs. I guess I'l just ride this thing until the wheels fall off. We'll see.

  2. Nice bio ! And I agree with Linda that you make excellent videos. Were I a CIA, NSA or FBI employer, I'd offer you a position in their 'suggestibility programs'. The government is missing out on a rare and natural talent because of their short sightedness and lack of vision.

    I thought you were from the midwest, but being in California ... I'd suggest the casinos in Reno for any stage performances should you decide to become more 'visible' to the public. [Remember Harrah's is one big corporation nationwide.] Don't worry about 'Vampire' inductions. As a natural Van Helsing, you can rely upon me in that area !

    Be Well,
