You get the work done. Then you can’t switch off.

You replay difficult conversations, put off consequential decisions, or carry work into the evening. I work privately with founders and senior operators, using hypnosis to help change those recurring responses.

The weeks after the session

“The weeks that followed were some of the best I’ve had.”

He describes feeling calmer and being able to think clearly in the weeks after a single session. His experience, in his own words.

I want to share my experience working with Michal on hypnotherapy. I reached out to him because I was dealing with some real anxiety, and he said he could help me with my trauma release through hypnosis.

Honestly, I didn’t know if it’d work, but I gave it a shot. He did a session, and about eight hours later I felt calm, peaceful, in a way I hadn’t felt in a very long time.

The weeks that followed were some of the best I’ve had. Being able to think clearly, calm instead of anxious, it changed everything for me.

If you’ve been on the fence about trying hypnosis, I would tell you to look into it. Michal probably can help you. Give it a try.

Breakthrough · private hypnosis

One session. One thing you want to change.

You know the situation. You know how you would rather respond. Yet you keep reacting the same way. Breakthrough is a focused intensive to work on that response.

Breakthrough

We agree on one target, use hypnosis to work with the response behind it, and review what feels different afterward. A single session is the starting point; results vary and further work may be useful.

Meet online, or in person in Houston by arrangement. Reserve an hour for your Breakthrough session; we may finish sooner. We agree on any follow-up before you pay.

$500Introductory pricing

For sustained work

The Work

Twelve weeks of private work when you want ongoing practice and support. Ten 75–90 minute sessions, two integration weeks, personalized tracks, and a 30-day follow-up.

We’ll discuss which approach fits during the introductory conversation.

Proof, not promises

One clear target

He arrived with the attachment at ten out of ten.

After the session, he reported zero and described what had changed. That is evidence that charge can move, not a promise that every result looks the same.

Operator record

Pressure is not theoretical here.

Michal has operated inside Google, Instacart, founder rooms, engineering teams, and public conversations about discipline and performance. That record is context for the work, not a substitute for your result.

Before the call

What you may want to know.

What can we focus on in a hypnosis session?: One specific response: replaying a difficult conversation after it is over, hesitating before a consequential decision, or finding it hard to stop working and be present elsewhere. We discuss your example first to see whether it fits this work.
Do I need to know how hypnosis works?: No. We discuss the process and your questions before starting. You can speak, ask for a pause, or stop the session.
Will one session be enough?: Some people report a change after one session, as the testimonial above describes. Your experience may differ. We agree on a clear target and review what changed, without promising a particular result or requiring a longer program.
Where do sessions take place, and how long should I reserve?: Sessions are online by default, with in-person sessions available in Houston by arrangement. Reserve an hour for Breakthrough; we may finish sooner. The free introductory conversation is a separate 20-minute video call.
How much does a Breakthrough session cost?: The introductory price is $500. The 20-minute conversation beforehand has no charge. We agree on the session scope and terms before you pay.
Is this therapy or medical treatment?: No. This is hypnosis-led change work and coaching, not psychotherapy, medical treatment, or crisis care. If what you need falls outside that scope, I will say so.
