Sit In Her Chair And Explore Endless Possibilities

Ever since Mary Battaglia of Oradell started researching ways to help her sleep, she always kept what she learned about hypnosis in the back of her mind. Seven years later, as a clinical hypnotherapist and owner of Metro Hypnosis Center, Battaglia now dedicates her life to helping others live life to the fullest.

On any given day, Battaglia invites clients to sit in her big comfortable recliner -- a focal point in her Oradell office -- that she uses to make clients feel at ease and open to hypnosis. In her first meeting with them, Battaglia explains that hypnosis is a natural, altered state and holistic approach to feeling good and working through problems.

Once her client is in a state of hypnosis, Battaglia guides him or her through a relaxation process and helps them explore their subconscious mind to find out what is preventing them from making changes. Once those roadblocks are identified, Battaglia helps them clear those negative beliefs they have about themselves so they can live the life they want.   

Mary knows first-hand what positive outcomes hypnotherapy can have, even more than helping her sleep through self-hypnosis. “(Hypnotherapy) opened a new door to a new me. With hypnosis, I began to feel more confident in many aspects of my life. It helped give me the courage I needed to change careers and fulfill my life’s dream of helping people.“  

Equally important is how she saw her sister battle cancer with positive thinking and visualization, two components of hypnosis. "I saw how her positive attitude increased her quality of life.”   

While she works with clients on issues such as smoking cessation and weight loss, Battaglia focuses much of her work on medical hypnotherapy.  She works with individuals, doctors, oncologists, and medical facilities to educate them on how hypnotherapy can complement medical treatment. “Studies have proven that hypnosis can help with healing after surgery,” she says. “When you are stress free, it can also help with issues with blood pressure, diabetes and thyroid problems.”
