What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness – everyone experiences it several times a day: during daydreaming, while reading, in the minutes before falling asleep. In hypnotherapy, I guide you specifically into this state, where the subconscious becomes receptive.
The conscious mind often clings to patterns that no longer serve us. Hypnosis resolves this clinging not through pressure, but by reaching a different level. You remain yourself the entire time: hypnosis is self-help, not an external intervention.

Client Experiences
Our pediatrician recommended kinesiology to us because our son picks at and chews his fingers. Monia was recommended to us, so we sought her out, even though we live in Wädenswil. Initially, we were a bit skeptical because it's an alternative method – but our enthusiasm afterward was all the greater!
I am touched! You combine sensitivity and expertise in a professional manner. I felt well cared for from the very first moment.
I particularly appreciate her approach of working through body awareness. Because often we understand life's challenges on an intellectual level – but something entirely different continues to work within the body. Monia has helped me multiple times to break free from such internal spirals and give my life a coherent direction again.
Monia works very empathetically and professionally at the same time. She takes her time, truly listens, and precisely addresses the points that help me progress. Her sessions are enriching for me every time.
Kinesiology was new to me at first, but in the initial two-hour session, Monia Herzog not only managed to convince me of this therapy form, but she even inspired me with it!
I have come to know Monia as very empathetic and extremely professional! I felt a sense of relief after just the first session. It is clear to me that I would gladly go back to her.

Frequently asked questions & answers
Questions I am often asked
No. This is the most common misconception, and it stems from stage hypnosis. In hypnotherapy, you remain responsive: you can hear, speak, think, move, and end the session at any time. You will not do anything you do not want to do.
No. Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness that everyone experiences several times a day – during daydreaming, while reading, just before falling asleep. You are more awake and focused than in everyday life, only your attention is directed inwards.
Basically yes, provided the person wants to be. Hypnosis does not work against one's will. And it is a matter of practice: the more often someone has been in hypnosis, the easier the state becomes the next time.
No. Your judgment and boundaries remain intact. In hypnosis, you will not say anything you wouldn't say in a waking state – and you are always allowed to remain silent. What is discussed in the practice stays here.
No. Hypnosis is not a state from which you cannot return. Even if I were to leave the room, you would return on your own: you would either wake up or transition into normal sleep and then wake up.
Hypnosis is also used in medicine, for example in dentistry and in pain management. For some applications, there are studies; for others, there are not. I work as a complementary therapist and do not promise you a cure. What hypnosis achieves for you will become apparent in practice.
