A new voice in hypnotherapy!
After a very successful 32-year career in education, culminating as a director of education in Ontario, Canada, Jackie realized that she couldn’t simply retire. The passion to help others attain their personal best hadn’t changed, nor had the tenets, ethics, and integrity of her past leadership work. She felt incredibly lucky to rediscover the power of hypnosis (which she had personally used years ago) and set about finding the best training available. Coupled with her education in neural psychology, brain research, a Master's in Counselling and a Specialist in Special Education, Jackie feels that she has landed in a position to truly help children, adolescents and adults. In fact, one of her recent clients (and a friend of 25 years) noted after the first session, “You have found your calling! Everything you have worked for your entire life feels like it has culminated here in this profession!” All to say, Welcome to Open Minds Hypnosis Wasaga Beach, where Jackie is honoured to help you unlock your true potential.
My philosophy
Ready to help you
Ready to help you
At Open Minds Hypnosis Wasaga Beach, Jackie believes that in order for hypnotherapy to really work you must feel safe, secure and trusting of your therapist. She understands your need to feel comfortable and confident of her abilities. You’ll find that her approach sets this in motion from the get go— she is completely client centered and you will know that you are in charge of where the sessions go at all times. During your initial consultation, you will be able to ask Jackie anything about hypnosis, hypnotherapy and what you can expect. Jackie will listen to you and, through careful questioning, help you define your goal so that work can commence. It is her goal to have you reach your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can get on with feeling better and experience the incredible powers of hypnosis.
Ask Jackie about Past Life Regression and Life Between Lives Sessions - they may be exactly what you are looking for to make that special connection to yourself and your higher calling!
WHY CHOOSE HYPNOSIS?
Maybe your doctor recommended it? Maybe a friend had a successful experience? Maybe you are just tired of destructive patterns of thinking or behaving and feel you’ve got nothing to lose? However you got here, you’ve made a great decision!
What sets hypnosis apart from other therapies is that it’s not about finding ways to cope, manage or put up with personal challenges—which we know can be exhausting! Instead, hypnosis is about working with your professional hypnotist to truly and finally heal, resolve, neutralize or transform negative patterns of behaviour so you can unlock your true potential.
WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy is the therapy that occurs during a relaxed trance state to address challenges, issues, fears or phobias. It can help you reach a goal or change a behaviour or habit that does not serve you, or address a past trauma that is holding you back.
A trained hypnotist will guide you into a trance like state. Think of that wonderfully serene, tranquil state just before you fall asleep or come out of sleep naturally. Once relaxed, Jackie speaks directly to the subconscious mind which is responsible for behaviours and habits, bypassing the highly critical, logical conscious mind. Therapeutic change takes place almost effortlessly—one of the many reasons that people keep coming back once they experience the deep and lasting changes!
Jackie is here to be your guide.

TESTIMONIALS
“I had read Jackie’s posts on Facebook and looked at some of the supporting comments. I was to begin medical treatments for six weeks. I was told that I would be wearing a snug mask which is clipped onto a table so that I could not move. I am claustrophobic and was terrified at that thought. I really didn’t know who to turn to, but I did know I needed help. I contacted Jackie, and she immediately said she could set up a virtual appointment with me. She has a wonderful calming voice and clearly knew how to help me. At the end of the session, I felt safe and calm. She then emailed me my mantra and story so that I could repeat it during the treatments. During the mask wearing I was able to be completely relaxed. It has become a non-issue. With Jackie’s guidance I was able to control my fear of claustrophobia. I cannot say enough about my experience with Jackie and her knowledge and practice of hypnotherapy. I am very thankful she was there to help me.”
EO, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“Participation in the five-week Weight Management program with Jackie provided me with the guidance to enjoy relaxation, calmness and an overall sense of well-being. The hypnotherapy sessions brought forth a heightened state of awareness around all of the strategies that I already knew. Jackie has an uncanny ability to create images that have supported my journey of self-awareness and self-fulfillment, and I have been able to incorporate numerous small changes into my daily routine in a seemingly easy and effortless way. I now feel that I have the skills to continue the journey for the foreseeable future and feel empowered to make great decisions each day.”
WS, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
“Jackie's practice of hypnotherapy really resonated with me for a number of reasons. Her reassuring and calm voice created a safe, comfortable space to explore different states of consciousness. She used guided imagery that allowed my body and mind to deeply relax and, in that state, we explored some core issues. Jackie was caring and creative when helping me resolve feeling stuck in certain ways. Her approach teaches you how to use certain strategies on your own—she gives you a gift that literally keeps giving!”
MM, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“Men of a certain age! I want to talk to you about drinking. Such a big part of our lives, it has been my number one habit for 45 years. Since the age of 18 I have been of legal drinking age. I have never partied, golfed, camped nor ate out without alcohol (or at least having considered having a drink). I have driven after drinking too many times to count, something I am deeply ashamed of while typing this. The point of this is to emphasize that drinking has been a big part of my life. Well, I am 8 months into my new journey without a drop of alcohol. Not one, and also without being jealous of those drinking around me. I have no regrets. How did this happen? I tell you it was incredibly easy and totally unexpected. Jackie was completing her hypnotherapy training and needed test subjects. I won’t try to explain the process, but if you are interested in cutting back or even quitting drinking, I believe without hesitation that Jackie can help.”

“I was struggling after having landed a new assignment at work. Between pandemic fatigue, working remotely and feeling disconnected from my new co-workers, it was becoming increasingly difficult to find the confidence to do the work. My anxiety around it was also starting to negatively impact my sleep. My sessions with Jackie were scheduled right before going to bed, and her soothing voice and powerful messages helped me remember my strength, improved my sleep and made it easier to face work the following morning with greater confidence and self-awareness. I would highly recommend Jackie to help you train your mind to embrace positive, self-affirming messages and kick the old, negative and sabotaging self-talk to the curb.”
MS, Lakeshore, Ontario, Canada
"Jackie has been an incredible help in my efforts to cope with anxiety and depression. She is calming, reassuring and allowed me to implement techniques and strategies that I was comfortable with and could use daily. For anyone unsure that hypnotherapy is right for them, Jackie takes the time to explain the process, clear up any doubts and provide answers to common misconceptions about hypnotherapy. If you’re looking to take control of your anxiety, look no further than Jackie."
JG, Whitby, Ontario, Canada
“Jackie is the perfect combination of shamanic intuition and rational intelligence. She is caring, highly attentive and attuned!”
AC, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“Jackie is a very relaxing and comfortable guide in my self-hypnosis journey. I am looking forward to more sessions so she can help me go deeper into this wonderful state.”
MW, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada
“I had the pleasure of completing a large number of virtual sessions with Jackie from Open Minds Hypnosis Wasaga Beach during the spring of 2021. I found the experience provided me with helpful tools to calm my thoughts and think and slow down to ensure that I was consciously aware of the choices I was making. The methods are easy to adapt to any situation, and the repetition during the sessions made it effortless to create new way of living and correcting habits that lead me down negative paths.”
