Hi, I'm Robin

a teacher, writer and
certified hypnotherapist.

I LOVE ALL THE WORDS
ASSOCIATED WITH EDITING.

Editing empowers us
to make changes,
communicate clearly,
find and fix errors,
and put our best version
out into the world.

I CREATED MIND EDIT HYPNOSIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN OPTIMAL LIVING FOR ALL.

I believe in being free and not holding back out of fear. When we’re free, we can be our real and authentic selves. And, when we’re free to be our talented, powerful, true and loving selves, we no longer play small in life, and the whole world benefits.

Hypnotherapy gave me the tools to edit myself.

It allows me to clear out and heal from old programming and social conditioning, so that I can be in control, present, and truly mindful of how I show up in the world. And, I want that for you. You have the power to overcome your biggest fears and limitations, and though you don’t need me or anyone to heal or free your mind, I’m capable and honored to help and guide you on your journey.

As a writer and English teacher with a Masters in Education, I'm no stranger to editing.

I’ve spent countless hours of my life editing papers and scripts. And, when I fell in love with hypnotherapy and decided to become a hypnotherapist, I realized I was still editing, only instead of a sheet of paper, I was helping people transform their minds.

I've always been interested in optimizing my life.

Wellness and spirituality have been topics of the greatest interest to me ever since I was a teenager. My senior quote in my high school yearbook was from Marianne Williamson’s A Woman’s Worth: “Every woman who is a queen, simply knew she could be one, and everyone else is still pretending she can’t…” Even back then, I knew that being a queen, being in my power, being self-actualized was possible and available to me.

But, alas, it has never been easy.

Sure, I’ve lived an idyllic life in so many ways, but I’ve made lots of mistakes too, betraying others and betraying myself. Various sources (teachers, family members, media, friends, romantic partners, classmates, etc.) made me start to believe I wasn’t good enough, pretty enough, talented enough or successful enough.

Body image, racial identity...

and many other things fed the lie burrowing deep in my mind that I didn’t quite measure up. And so, I doubted myself, was ashamed of myself, and hid myself from the world. I stood still instead of moving forward–settled for good enough instead of fighting for what I knew I wanted and deserved. During some important moments in my life, I didn’t speak up, I didn’t follow my heart, and I didn’t protect myself. I cared too much about what people thought of me. I feared rejection. I feared looking stupid. I played small because I was afraid I’d fail if I went after a truly big life.

In 2017, I had a baby, and my transition into motherhood totally changed the trajectory of my life.

My time, my sleep, my body, my freedom…all of this shifted and I felt as though I had lost myself. That feeling, coupled with the enormous responsibility of raising a child, led me on a path of radical self-discovery. I knew that in order to be a great mom, I needed to be fully present in my own life (not perfect, obviously, but a diligent work in progress). And, the second I made that decision, a new path opened up for me.

WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH HYPNOSIS?

I’ve always loved movies and books. In fact, I double majored in college, English and Film and TV production, because I wanted to write stories either on the page or on the screen. This dream was enormously scary, namely because there aren’t many people who “make it” in the industry and, of those people, practically none of them looked like me. Because I harbored a secret fear/belief that I wouldn’t succeed–that I wasn’t smart, creative or talented enough to be a working writer or screenwriter and because teaching had always been a passion of mine, too, and was more “practical,” I decided to put my creative interests aside. I joined a graduate program and before I knew it, I spent 15 years teaching in Los Angeles. However, as a full-time teacher and mother to an infant, I desperately sought a way to creatively express myself. I wanted writing to be something that I did every day. I wanted to finally sit my butt down and write a new screenplay (I had had an idea in mind for four years and never started).

In mid-2018, I heard a hypnotherapist being interviewed on a podcast, discussing the power of hypnosis for real change.

Intrigued, I went to her site and downloaded two hypnosis recordings: “Make Your Dreams Come True” and “You Take Action (Stop Procrastination).” I started listening to those recordings every day. After about two weeks, I noticed changes. I felt motivated and I’d find myself using any free time I had to write. I booked 12 sessions with a hypnotherapist to really double down on my results.

After a month, I had 60 pages written (which is an hour of the movie). After another month, the first draft was done. Out of nowhere my friend at work offered to pass the script along to someone she knew with connections. I edited that screenplay through 7 drafts over the course of the next 6 months, and after that, I signed a deal with a producer to shop the screenplay around.

FROM THIS EXPERIENCE, I LEARNED THIS:

when you take inspired action towards your dreams, and you work with your subconscious along the way, the universe seems to conspire with you, to support you on this new path of change.

I felt more present and fulfilled, simply because I was expressing myself without fear. I also learned that Hypnosis is AMAZING. I mean, I had been teaching full-time, still waking up in the middle of the night to breast-feed my son, holding down the fort while my husband traveled frequently for work—in other words, when I had plenty of reasons to quit–what shifted to keep me writing, calm and centered? I became intrigued to learn more, anything and everything, about hypnosis and why it’s so effective. I enrolled in hypnotherapy school to better understand why hypnotherapy works and get certified so that I could help others.

Since 2018, I’ve committed to a daily hypnosis practice (self-hypnosis or a recording), and I’ve never felt more alive, more like myself and more excited about co-creating the life I love. I feel capable, real, and connected in my mind, body and soul; I encounter disappointment with a greater resiliency and faith than ever before. Hypnotherapy is not just another tool in your toolbox of self-optimization techniques, hypnotherapy is the toolbox.
