HypnoKelly
Hypnosis is a natural and altered state of consciousness in which a heightened state of awareness and responsiveness is experienced.
A good example of a light state of hypnosis is when you’re driving in your vehicle to a particular destination and your mind is drifting from one thought to another. Then, all of a sudden, you’ve arrived at your destination and don’t remember all of the details in getting there!
Part of your mind was doing one thing and another part of your mind was doing something else. What has happened in this case scenario is your conscious mind might have been distracted from driving with thought about a project at work. In doing so, your subconscious mind went into a heightened state of awareness allowing you to drive easily and effortlessly. You didn’t have to concentrate while your conscious mind was doing one thing and your subconscious mind another.
Eighty-percent (80%) of what a person does everyday is subconscious. This means there are things we think or do automatically without giving a “thought” to it. Some of these thoughts and actions are positive while others may be negative. In hypnotherapy, the hypnotherapist can help a client reprogram these negative thoughts so they don’t lead to negative feelings and actions. Through hypnosis, these thoughts are replaced with positive thoughts. Positive thoughts lead to positive feeling and actions.

How Our Hypnosis Has Changed Lives
As a client of Kelly's, I have overcome concerns that I carried for over 40 years! And that was just in the initial 2-3 sessions I had with her. I now continue to see her and am so blessed to have gifts in my life and spirit that could only have come from her caring, confidential, and professional service as a hypnotherapist. As a therapist myself, I have a VERY high standard of what I expect in therapy and from any professional. Kelly not only meets these standards, but exceeds them every time I meet with her. Free yourself from bonds of whatever is holding you back in life by having this beautiful person use her skills to help your goals take flight. You will NOT regret it!Kelly has been awesome working with me on my fear of flights and air travel. Going from taking Xanax, crying and scaring other passengers- I’m not kidding they have moved minors away from me on a plane, and thinking turbulence means the planes going down to being at a spot where I have now booked several trips because I feel less anxious about getting in a plane is a huge break through in my book (:I’ve been addicted to processed sugar for 20+ years. I would eat a meal’s worth of baked goods, ice cream, or chocolate every day. I’ve tried many times to stop, but nothing ever stuck. A random article made me look into hypnosis for my sugar addiction.Since going to my initial session with Kelly, I’ve stopped eating all sugary junk food. It was like a switch flipped and I could go through my days without craving it. I feel so much happier, healthier, and lighter. Kelly has helped me immensely!I'm deeply thankful I found Kelly. She's such a gifted hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is a therapy that bypasses all the noise in your head, goes straight to the issue you want to solve, and addresses it directly. It's efficient, and the effects are lasting. Kelly has changed my life for the better. And her joy is contagious!

Reached the tender age of 68 this year and continued to check off “bucket list” things I’ve wanted to accomplish in life but haven’t for one reason or another. Okay let’s talk Onychophagia! Everyone heard of that? Okay it’s nail biting and I’ve been addicted to it since earliest memory of my parents humiliating me not to do it. That was 60+ years ago. The embarrassments are in the hundreds. I learned to conceal them, curl them, wear gloves, but ultimately the biting continued. I could stop a few months, maybe, before a wedding or special event, but this was rare. So this year I asked my doctor what she could recommend to help me. “Nothing really I’ve never dealt with that”. Oh and by the way I’d tried all the foul tasting ointments and creams throughout the years with no success. Well I turned to our amazing internet and read about hypnosis and the success it’s had for stopping nail biting.I met with Hypno Kelly Boule and after 3 sessions I’d completely stopped biting and chewing my nails. That was over 8 months ago! My life has improved! I now lay my hands out on tables for everyone to see! Thanks Kelly! I’m not certain how it works but it did. I don’t even have the urge now to chew my nails. No chewing gum, no replacement, just hypnosis!Kelly is the absolute best and such a delight to work with. She is warm, energetic, intuitive, and cares deeply for her clients. She has been a huge support for me; and sometimes my loudest cheerleader. I have tried talk therapy before, but it left me even more frustrated and lost. I felt like I was talking in circles with no solution in sight. Working with Kelly has helped me unpack, process, and heal many wounds that I have been carrying around my whole life. Kelly has an amazing way of making me feel seen, heard, validated, and safe. Her calm and soothing voice during hypnosis leaves me in an almost tranquil state that allows my whole being to soak in her healing words.I am truly thankful for being able to work with Kelly. Her holistic approach to hypnosis has been life changing during one of the most difficult times in my life. With each visit she takes her time to understand what challenges I am dealing with and then imprints positive affirmations into the subconscious. Over the past two years I have focused on a wide array of therapies to help promote the best version of myself. Kelly has truly mastered her craft. I do not just consider her my therapist, but truly a friend. Her approach comes from a strong foundation of Christianity that makes you feel safe. Kelly is completely invested into improving her patients lives. In just a few short months I consistently walk away from every session feeling loved, protected, safe, and confident. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to make a breakthrough in becoming the best version of themselves.I have known Kelly both personally and professionally for almost 15 years. Even before I started scheduling counseling sessions with her, SHE had already become my "consigliere" and confidant, re women and matters of the heart (I'm band mates with her husband, too). She could write the screenplay for the mini-series about my love life! Seriously, she is one of my favorite human beings, and one of my most trusted friends. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who is serious about getting themselves "together", and who is striving to make a better life for themselves.
