The search to increase the quality, the joy in peoples' lives, led her to hypnotherapy. Meenal received a certification in hypnotherapy upon completion of education from HMI, a nationally accredited hypnosis training college. She believes thought is the most basic creative force. It creates the world around you. If not used in a healthy way, it can lead to negative feelings and can create blocks from reaching the goals you put forward in life leading to ill health. Hypnotherapy works with the thoughts blocked in your subconscious mind which are only accessed during sleep or in a state of hypnosis. Meenal uses her hypnosis experience to help you collect your thoughts and redirect them in a positive way to help you achieve your desired results. She also works on taking you from negative thought patterns to positive thought patterns to a point of transmuting thought on a journey to inner peace. Along with her hypnotherapy sessions, she uses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to clear the mental blockages as well as energetic blocks that no longer serve you. She uses her experience in psychic abilities from her mentors Eagle Skyfire, Christi Calvano, and other spiritual leaders to enhance each session with a personal intuitive approach. Also, she continues her own spiritual journey to bring only the purest healing for you.
