My Story

Valerie Asher

Board Certified Consulting Hypnotist

In the Beginning...

My voyage into the world of Hypnosis began many years ago, shaped by my life experiences and challenges. Even at a very young age, I had a voracious love for reading. Immersing myself in stories and the lives of others fueled an innate desire to help. Even my late start to speaking seems rooted in observation, a quiet absorption of the world around me, and an inclination towards support manifested early on.

During my early twenties while in the military, a Psychology 101 course proved to be a pivotal moment. It was there that I first truly understood the power of conscious choice in shaping our responses to our lives. Curiosity and aspiring to be better propelled me deeper into a path of self-discovery. Driven to understand our motivations and potential for growth, shaping me into a lifelong learner, constantly seeking a wider range of knowledge.

This realization resonated deeply, increasingly fascinated with the human mind and brain ignited a passion to share and empower others to navigate their own paths.

"The mind is its own place.

And in itself,

can make a heaven of hell,

or a hell of heaven."

~ John Milton,

Paradise Lost

Connecting My Journey...

Being ever-curious propelled me to self-directed learning, seeking knowledge through various avenues. My father, a great teacher, fostered a lifelong love of learning. I actively sought out books, seminars, and workshops to expand my horizons.

I made a conscious choice to leave the structured environment of the military and experienced acute anxiety. Counseling was my first personal insight into the unconscious mind and further fueled my wish to understand it.

The recession in 2008 led to job loss and a move. Landscaping offered a happy direction forward. In 2016, I completed a Professional Mentorship training. This connection proved pivotal, it indirectly led me to Hypnosis. In early 2017, from the first hour of class, I was captivated! It was the first step to a deeper education of our minds, the brain, neurobiology, and all the potential for positive change!

My commitment to learning and mastering this powerful tool has been continuous. I've invested in extensive training, in Advanced Hypnosis techniques, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and various other modalities. Growing my skills to provide the most effective support for you.

Imagine the benefits, how your life will improve for the better!

Foundations of My Support and Philosophy...

My practice is rooted in a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness and importance of addressing the whole persons well-being and from my own life’s journey.

We are whole beings made of many parts. The mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected, and progress comes from working with all parts. Did you know that you have neuropathways in your heart and gut, and they are separate from your brain? Neglecting our health can impact our mental clarity and emotional stability.

Because of my experiences with grief and loss, I have personal insight into trauma, anxiety, and stress, plus empathy and understanding for the struggles you face.

Even now, as I move through the joys and sorrow of caring for my senior pets, and the process of aging itself (which brings its own form of grief for the loss of youth), I continue to learn and grow.

Ultimately, my philosophy is perhaps best captured by the wisdom of Leon Battista Alberti:

"A human can do all things if they will."

This statement underscores my belief in your inherent capacity for positive change and growth!
