When many think of hypnotism, people running around a stage clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog spring to mind. However, with recent advances in neuroplasticity the stigma surrounding hypnotherapy and hypnotherapists is beginning to erode and the real benefits of this type of treatment are finally beginning to be seen.
Quantum Waves Hypno Therapy started by Los Osos resident Gila Zak is one such business.
“My daughter has Lyme disease and she got really sick,” said Zak. “We tried everything and finally I took her to a hypnotherapist, and what I watched was amazing. Along with bio feedback and hypnosis we were able to rid her of her chronic stomach pain and the associated stress.”
So what can hypnotherapy help with? Pretty much anything it turns out. Weight problems, stress, anxiety, phobias and even PTSD can be treatable with hypnosis.

All hypnotherapists do is take that state to a deeper level. As long as people are suggestible and have an open mind we can help.”
To become a hypnotherapist Zak went through extensive training lasting more than a year. She regularly works with traditional doctors and therapists, many of whom are beginning to realize the benefits of hypnotherapy.
“As neuroscience has advanced we are now able to actually see the brain reacting to hypnosis. This has enabled us to prove quantifiable results and has helped change the perception of hypnosis from quack medicine to real medicine based on science and results,” said Zak.
Zak works with clients from all backgrounds and all ages. She has done very little marketing so far and is grateful for all the positive help and response she has received from the local community.
“As long as people want to make a change, I can help them,” said Zak.
“Basically we are rewiring the brain, or, as I like to say, we are pulling weeds and planting seeds. It may take three or four sessions to change how the mind works but in most cases it has a true lasting effect.”
