Lawyer-turned-Hypnotist, Nancy Loven



I am a certified clinical hypnotist with a private practice in Larchmont, New York (25 minutes north of New York City). I worked as a litigation attorney for eight years and just never felt fulfilled by what I did. Four years ago, I used hypnosis to quit smoking and after that, I started seeing a hypnotist regularly for various issues. Over time, I began to realize that I, too, wanted to use hypnosis to help people heal and I obtained the necessary training and education to become a Certified Hypnotist. Most recently, I became a certified Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator and a Certified Hypnofertility Specialist.

Although it sounds trite, the thing I most love about being a hypnotist is how I am able to help people. People come to me with all kinds of problems, and I am able to provide my clients with a new perspective on how they can use hypnosis to heal themselves -- I am simply a guide in this process. People walk out of my office refreshed, happy and ready to take on the world!

I am most proud of helping women with fertility problems, especially those who were told that they would never be able to conceive a baby. I tell them, "NEVER say never." Profound success is often possible simply by working at the level of the sub-conscious mind and removing blocks to fertility. I am also proud of helping people to rid themselves of negative habits and phobias that have often plagued them for years -- for example, I had one client who stopped biting his nails after having done so for 40 years! I have helped many, many people to quit smoking for good and to lose extra weight.

The greatest career advice I have been given is the same as the best advice I can give: no matter what, follow your heart -- do what you love. When you act according to your higher purpose, when you consciously follow the path that is right for you -- only good things can come from that. I left a high-paying, secure career as an attorney to follow my heart into the hypnosis field -- and I now look forward to each and every client, each and every day. There is no better feeling than doing what you KNOW you were born to do.

You're absolutely right. Hypnotherapy is wonderful, and hypnobirthing is even more wonderful, isn't it?

Best wishes
