The Calgary Hypnosis Center Difference

Does this sound like you?

These are the patterns we hear from established professionals when traditional approaches fail. If one of these hits home, start there. You're not “overreacting.”

Gut Issues

This sounds like you?

Unpack what's going on in your body and mind, get a clear plan, and start practicing tools that calm your gut response in real life (not just on good days).

Explore our gut relief speciality

Private. Structured. Designed for established professionals.

I've mapped out every bathroom in every building I go into. It's not a joke. It's survival.

I cancel plans last minute because I don't know what my gut will do. People think I'm flaky. I'm just trying to avoid a disaster.

It's not 'just a stomach ache.' It's pain, urgency, and embarrassment on repeat.

Why it feels different

Why Calgary Hypnotherapy Works Different

Because it works with the part of your brain that runs the pattern — not just the part that understands it.

Disclaimer: Clinical hypnosis is a specialized field focused on the use of focused attention, suggestion, and guided visualization to help clients change patterns of thought and behavior. It is distinct from psychotherapy, counselling, medicine, or psychology. At the Calgary Hypnosis Center, our work is science-based and designed to complement not replace medical or psychological treatment.

What our clients say about us

Feel the immediate impact

We take privacy seriously. Images and details are adjusted to protect confidentiality.

Anxiety + sleep
I came in skeptical. After three sessions with Danny, I could settle faster and my sleep improved. Not a miracle cure, but it helped.

Lawyer

Top 5 law firm (Calgary)

Anxiety + sleep
I’d tried a lot. CHC felt structured. Within two to three sessions, my evenings felt calmer and my sleep improved.

Senior director

Energy company (Calgary)

Gut issues
I expected something woo, but Danny was clinical. After a couple sessions, my gut issues eased and I had tools I could use.

Healthcare professional

Calgary

Pain reduction
I wasn’t looking for motivation. I wanted pain reduction without medication side effects. After two sessions, the intensity dropped and I could function.

Senior manager

Tech company (Calgary)

Gut issues
I’d never tried clinical hypnosis. CHC felt evidence based. After three sessions, my gut symptoms and stress were more manageable.
