What is Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can be used to promote positive changes in your life. It is a natural and safe state of heightened awareness and deep relaxation, in which the conscious mind is bypassed, and the subconscious is accessed. During hypnosis, a person is guided by a practitioner to focus on certain thoughts and behaviors, which can help with challenges like breaking bad habits, managing stress, improving self-esteem, and more.

What Hypnosis is not

There are many misconceptions and myths surrounding hypnosis. One of the most common is that it involves mind control. This is not true – hypnosis is simply a way of helping a person to focus and become more open to suggestions. Another myth is that a person can be made to do something against their will. Again, this is false – the patient is always in control and can choose to accept or reject any suggestion made to them.

It is also not true that people who are hypnotized are unaware of their surroundings – they are still aware of what is going on around them, but their focus is directed inward. Finally, it is not true that only certain people can be hypnotized – anyone can be hypnotized if they are willing to try.

It was my good fortune to meet Sara in January, 2026 at one of her 1-day retreats. The love, and support I experienced that day encouraged me to reach out to Sara for one-on-one sessions and I will be forever grateful I made that decision. Sara's genuine empathy and natural ability to meet people where they are have been instrumental in helping me make positive changes in my life. Sara offered the tools I needed to guide me on my grief journey in a peaceful safe space. We continue to focus on other areas of my life and the changes have been profound. Sara's sweet soul shines bright and she generously shares her light with others.

I attended Sara’s Scottsdale Luxury Wellness Retreat and was thoroughly impressed by every detail—from my personalized tote filled with goodies (not junk, but genuinely useful items I’ll actually use), to the chef-prepared meals, hypnotherapy sessions, yoga/fitness activities, and the gorgeous home with a real lazy river running through it! This was better than any resort staycation. What made it even more special were the connections made with women from different states and the sense of community that developed throughout the retreat. You will leave feeling more at peace, with greater clarity, and grateful for the time well spent with such an amazing group of women. Sara puts so much thought into the planning and makes sure no detail is missed. She is more than a host—she truly becomes a friend and genuinely wants everyone to have an incredible experience. Do it for yourself and fill your cup—you will not be disappointed! ❤️

This women’s wellness retreat was truly an incredible and life-changing experience. I’m so grateful for the wonderful women I met and for all of the meaningful information, wisdom, and insight I gained along the way. It was such a beautiful opportunity to slow down, reconnect with myself, learn, grow, and feel supported in such a welcoming environment. Sara did a phenomenal job putting everything together and creating such a thoughtful and empowering experience for everyone. Her passion, knowledge, and attention to detail truly made the retreat special. I’m leaving feeling inspired, refreshed, and equipped with tools and insights that will continue to impact my life. I highly recommend this experience to any woman looking to invest in herself and connect with an amazing community of women.

Sara’s Scottsdale retreat is life changing. She welcomes you with open arms and it’s truly amazing how quickly open honest friendships are found when given a safe place to do so. By the end of the five days you feel resting, grounded and empowered. If you’re on the fence and feel that a retreat is out of your comfort zone like me, just do it! Take the leap.

I honestly don’t think this experience could have been any better. ❤️ This retreat was something truly special, and I genuinely believe everyone should experience something like this at least once in their life. It opens doors inside of you that you never even knew were there — doors you didn’t know you could, or even should, open. And somehow, you leave feeling lighter, more connected to yourself, and grateful that you allowed yourself to go there. I’m so thankful for this experience, the people, the energy, and everything it brought up and unlocked within me. If you’re thinking about going, take it as your sign. Just go. You might discover a part of yourself you never knew existed. Thank you Sara

I just finished one of Sara’s Wellness retreats and OMG, what an experience! The way she curated the weekend from start to finish was just honestly on another level. From the location, to the private chef, to the carefully selected sessions she puts together …every little detail is taken care of. And that’s not even touching Sara’s actual hypnotherapy sessions which were super impactful! I would 10000/10 recommend and come back.

Sara creates the most incredible women’s wellness retreats, and you can truly feel the intention, care, and thoughtfulness behind every detail. From the beautiful homes she selects and the thoughtfully curated educational programming to the incredible private chef and meals, every aspect of the experience is intentional, elevated, and designed to help women feel cared for, connected, and renewed. What stands out most is Sara herself—her kindness, warmth, and genuine dedication to creating meaningful experiences for women. These retreats are so much more than a beautiful getaway; they are thoughtfully designed experiences that bring together wellness, education, connection, relaxation, and luxury in such a seamless way. You can feel how much heart goes into creating each retreat, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sara’s retreats to any woman looking for a truly special and unforgettable experience.

Sarah put so much heart into this retreat, and it showed in all the little details—from the personalized welcome gifts to the beautiful space and meals. It was so nice to step away from everyday responsibilities, slow down, and take some time for myself. I appreciated the mix of wellness and hypnotherapy with time to relax by the pool and connect with other women...and the FOOD! Sarah created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, for putting together such a thoughtful and special experience! And helping to make me feel seen.

I don’t even know where to begin… this experience filled my cup in a way I didn’t realize I needed. Sara created something truly special with this retreat. From the moment I arrived, there was this sense of ease, connection, and intention that just wrapped around all of us. Every detail felt thoughtful, every experience meaningful, and it all flowed so effortlessly. The women I met—wow. Strong, open, supportive, and just genuinely beautiful souls. There’s something powerful about being in a space where you can show up exactly as you are and be met with encouragement, laughter, and zero judgment. I’m leaving with new friendships that feel like they were meant to happen. The experiences themselves were incredible—grounding, energizing, and honestly a little transformative. It was the perfect balance of movement, reflection, connection, and fun. I laughed a lot, slowed down (which is not my strong suit), and actually felt present… which is rare and so needed. Sara, you have a gift. Thank you for creating a space where women can reconnect—with themselves and each other. I’m beyond grateful I said yes to this. Already counting down until the next one 🤍

I have never been to a “Wellness Retreat” or experienced hypnotherapy. I discovered I’ve really been missing out!! Sara’s retreats are impeccably planned, extraordinarily special, filled with luxurious touches and happy little surprises. I shared beautiful moments with warm and kind women, searching for the same things I was. I highly recommend Sara’s practice and retreats for any woman wanting to reconnect with her heart and soul, and leave the world behind for a few moments or days.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sara and the experience she creates on these retreats. Her attention to detail is incredible. Every part of the week felt intentional, thoughtful, and so beautifully cared for. Sharing the experience with such an amazing group of women made it even more meaningful, and every meal Chef Ashley prepared was absolutely delicious. I’m leaving this week feeling lighter, restored, and so thankful for such a beautiful and healing experience.

Update: I just attended my second retreat with Sara and it was just as wonderful as the first one, if not better. She did an amazing job finding the most beautiful home in Scottsdale. When we weren’t being taken on the most relaxing journey during her hypnotherapy sessions, we were enjoying delicious food & drinks, yoga, a variety of wellness activities & presentations and laughing & bonding with friends, new and old. I’m leaving with such a feeling of love & peace ☮️ Wow. I was lucky enough to attend Sara’s luxury wellness retreat in Destin and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Everything from the location, accommodations, workshops, food and Sara’s attention to detail was top notch. What an incredible few days of connection with friends and meeting new ones. We laughed, we cried and all had such an incredible time. I’m looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend!

Sara has a way of making everyone feel special. She made sure we had the best food, practitioners, and experience. The chef created incredible, healthy meals. I enjoyed the classes and workshops. Sara made sure to include many hypnotherapy sessions as well. I can’t recommend this experience enough!

Update: I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Women’s Luxury Wellness Retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona. From beginning to end, it was such a beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable experience. The house was absolutely luxurious and provided the perfect setting to relax, disconnect from everyday life, and truly focus on ourselves. Every detail of the retreat felt intentional. The practitioners were incredible, the food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the women who attended made the experience even more special. There was such a genuine feeling of connection, support, laughter, and love throughout the entire retreat. And a very special recognition has to go to our amazing host and hypnotherapist, Sara. ❤️ You could feel how much thought, care, energy, and love she poured into creating this experience for all of us. She created a space where everyone could feel comfortable, supported, and completely welcomed. This wasn’t simply a beautiful getaway it was an experience that allowed us to connect with ourselves and with an incredible group of women. I left Scottsdale feeling grateful, refreshed, inspired, and so thankful for the memories and connections we made. So much love was put into this retreat, and it showed in every single detail. An absolutely incredible experience that I will always remember. ❤️ Had a great experience with Sara. This was a wonderful hypnotherapy experience. I would recommend to everyone!

If I wake up in the middle of the night, I put on my session and it literally lulls me right back to sleep. I couldn't have come this far I truly believe if I hadn't given Hypnotherapy a try and found Sara! Thank you so much!

I can’t praise Sara and the work she does enough. I came into my first session with a very healthy level of skepticism towards hypnosis, and I couldn’t be more delighted with the results I’ve seen, and in awe of how simple the whole process was. Sara has such a genuine and kind presence and was more than willing to talk to me at length about the process, her background, and the transformative results she’s produced for her clients. She really helped me feel comfortable and I was amazed by how completely light and relaxed I felt after the first session, and repeatedly thereafter when listening to the recorded version. I just had my second session with her and plan to do a third in the coming weeks, it’s really helped me to overcome internal obstacles I’ve been dealing with for as long as I can remember. I highly recommend hypnosis and am so grateful I was able to work with her.

Sarah has a soul that truly lights up the room. She is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely gifted at what she does. I experienced trauma as an infant, through no one’s fault, and she helped me begin to release and heal from it. Even more importantly, she helped me recognize my own potential and see myself in a completely different way. The impact she’s had on my life has been truly life-changing. Her work has been so meaningful that even my husband is now considering booking an appointment with her. I can’t recommend Sarah enough to anyone looking for healing, growth, and a compassionate guide on their journey.

I attended a woman’s group on Friday, being curious about a “life changing” event, being in menopause and trying nearly everything else, what did I have to lose?!? Sara Sloan hosted a wonderful full day retreat along with yoga, sound bowls and even a yummy lunch. Now on to the good stuff…. I had a really positive experience working with Sara Sloan of Northstar Clinical Hypnotherapy, from the very beginning she created a calm, comfortable environment that made it easy to relax and be open to the process. Sarah took the time to explain everything clearly, which helped ease any initial skepticism I had about hypnotherapy. During the session, I felt guided but never pressured, and I appreciated how professional and attentive she was throughout. I noticed meaningful changes in my mindset and habits (even on my short drive home)! What stood out most was her genuine care, her calming voice, and how comfortable she made me, even in a group setting. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone curious about hypnotherapy or looking for a supportive way to make positive changes, I am looking forward to seeing her again. The yoga and sounds bowls were also very relaxing, calming and grounding, it was an amazing experience, I am so glad I took myself out of my comfort zone and tried it! Thanks again Sara for a day of positive experiences! Hope to see you soon, Shannon 💙🩵

Attended my first retreat yesterday! I have not felt this relaxed in a long time! I recommended to all my friends and family that they all need to try no matter the age or skill level. I believe everyone could benefit from hypnotherapy in some way. The retreat made it nice to try it, sound bath and some yoga too! I would definitely do it again, next time bringing my family and a blanket! 😜

I recently had the transformative experience of attending a hypnotherapy retreat that I cannot recommend highly enough! From the moment I arrived, the serene atmosphere enveloped me, setting the perfect tone for relaxation and self-discovery. The hypnotherapy sessions were incredibly insightful, guided by Sara who created a safe and supportive environment. I felt a deep connection with my inner self, and the tools I gained during these sessions will undoubtedly serve me well in my personal growth journey. The incorporation of yoga into the retreat was a beautiful addition. Each session was thoughtfully designed to harmonize the body and mind, allowing for a deeper state of relaxation and mindfulness. Michelle was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and supported. One of the highlights for me was the healing sound bowl therapy. The soothing vibrations created a sense of peace and tranquility that I had never experienced before. It was a truly unique and rejuvenating experience that complemented the hypnotherapy and yoga perfectly. Thank you Lori! Overall, this retreat exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of hypnotherapy, yoga, and sound healing created a holistic approach to well-being that left me feeling refreshed and empowered. If you're looking for a place to reconnect with yourself and explore the depths of your mind, this retreat is an absolute must! Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I attended Sara Sloan’s Hypnotherapy Wellness Day on Friday, May 15, 2026, and it was such a relaxing and restorative experience. The combination of yoga, the sound bath, and of course the hypnotherapy created the perfect atmosphere to truly unwind and reset. It has only been one day, but I already notice that I’m able to let things go more easily, and I slept like a champ last night! Usually, my brain doesn't shut off and I stuffer with getting proper sleep.I left feeling calmer, lighter, and more centered. Highly recommend  Sara Sloan, with Northstar Clinical Hypnotherapy. If you are willing to step out of your comfort zone to try something different to heal yourself or if you are  looking for relaxation, stress relief, and personal wellness, Sara Sloan is your person. Thank you so much for everything! Glad I stepped out on my comfort zone!

If you’re looking to learn about something new that can add positivity to your life please register for one of Sara’s retreats. The day went by so quickly with all the included experiences and I left feeling rejuvenated and peaceful. There was an informational session , 2 hypnotherapy sessions, a sound bath experience, and 2 light yoga sessions. A full lunch is also part of the day. Sara made the experience very pleasant, she felt like an old friend . I felt very welcomed and empowered being with a group of open minded women. very much worth your time!

I am beyond grateful for Sara! Today I got to experience an AMAZING women's retreat, "Bloom From Within: Healing the Past, Building Confidence, & Finding Inner Peace" at the Brighton Lighthouse in Brighton, MI. From the moment I walked in, Sara was kind hearted, caring, loving, and open to communication. With Sara's guidance, I was able to release the "old", renew my energy, and be the BEST I can be for 2026! (A special thanks to Michelle for the Restorative Yoga and Lori for the Healing Sound Bowl...a first experience for me) I've always said, "Everything happens for a reason." After meeting Sara, when I stop to count my blessings, she'll always be on my list! Thank you and I look forward to what the future holds. Would LOVE to attend any "Retreats" in the future! My body and soul has a calm I haven't experienced in a long time! Thank you again, Sara for a relaxing day, and a first experience with Clinical Hypnotherapy for me!

I attended a group session for the first time. I wasn’t sure what to expect but went with an open mind and wanting to make a change of some self doubt. As Sara lead us through, my focus was to get through some anxiety of driving to unfamiliar places on my own. I would get anxious, my heart would race and have interrupted sleep the night before. During the session we were asked to invision an item. A heart stone came to mind. I wasn’t certain I did everything right, but I felt relaxed, since I was traveling the next day. I slept well, woke up not feeling anxious. As I was driving I realized the stone heart I invisioned was my racing heart I would feel, and as I drove that day I felt calm. I think if you have something small or big that you want to make a change, give hypnotherapy with Sara a try. Thanks again Sara!

Sara changed my life! I had a session to help with my fear of flying. I had no idea what to expect. Flying became a horrible experience for me because of my fear. It was holding me back from friends and family. My husband and I were traveling in 2 weeks and the dread was starting. A friend suggested hypnotherapy with Sara. I scheduled an appointment and was open to the whole idea and from that session I never thought about the fear. We got back from Cayman and I had no anxiety. It has changed my life!!! Thank you❤️

It was my first experience with hypnotherapy and I’m really excited to see the positive effects from it. Sara is kind, competent and has a very soothing voice! To top it off, lunch was delicious. I hope to attend another retreat hosted by Northstar Clinical Hypnotherapy. Update: I did a one on one session with Sara, and I found it so helpful. Very much worth the investment.

Sara at Northstar Clinical Hypnotherapy is incredible! A friend recommended her to me and it was just what I was looking for. She is kind and understanding and made me feel comfortable from the very first meeting. I love that I could have my appointment in the comfort of my own home through zoom - or if I wanted to, go to her in person. After just one session I am feeling a definite change! I highly recommend Sara!

I just went to my first woman’s retreat headed by Sara and the only words I have are life-changing and amazing! I met 20 woman who attended also, and what a fantastic group of women they were, each with their own reason for attending. Sara had everything put together and organized so well AND explains everything, there were yoga sessions, sound bath, hypnotherapy sessions, special gift bag, and I don’t want to forget to mention the fantastic desert she made! Shout out to Jen on the yoga and sound bath! Cannot wait to attend my next retreat 💕

I attended one of Sara’s one day hypnotherapy women’s retreat and I can’t recommend it enough! It completely exceeded any hopes or expectations that I had. It was such a comfortable, safe, welcoming environment and group, and such a beneficial experience. The facility was beautiful and perfect for the event, and the women in the group, though we all had our own journeys and intentions, felt like a family by the end of the day. Sara is an incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, positive leader for this experience and I can’t wait to attend another one.

If you have to opportunity to spend a day with Sara - do it! She is amazing as was the retreat. What I took away from a one day retreat was beyond helpful. Looking forward to my next one .

The Women’s Wellness Retreat on January 9, 2026, in Brighton with Sara Sloan from Northstar Clinical Hypnotherapy was amazing! It offered deep connection, empowerment and personal growth in a supportive, judgment-free space. Sara held two hypnotherapy sessions and Jen held a yoga session and a sound bath session. There were 20 women that attended, and the introductions from each woman gave us some insight as to what each person was going through. We were all interconnected with what we were going through. There were friendships made, all creating a stronger self-worth, and creating profound healing and a feeling of being truly seen and heard. I felt there was a powerful sense of unity and empathy. It was a safe space to be vulnerable and share experiences. At the end of the day, I felt stronger and more confident. It was a much-needed break and a life-altering experience where women felt cherished, heard, and inspired to live their best lives, allowing for peace, joy and a chance to reconnect with oneself. Thanks to Sara and Jen, I was so uplifted and felt so much love and peace. Thank you!

I am so grateful for this day retreat, a day I could be free to explore an experience outside my normal day to day with someone so compassionate and generous. The sessions were each special, the connection with the other ladies meaningful and safe, the yoga and sound bath with Jen healing and intuitive. The scripts Sara created for the event were crafted with such wisdom and insight into what we would need. I believe she was guided to say the things she did, not knowing me one bit, to speak to me (my subconscious) on a soul to soul level. What I am so grateful for is that she has given us each the recording of both scripts so we can listen over and over and really lock it in. That is going in my new gratitude journal that, yes, Sara gave each of us in a bag along with eye masks. I look forward to the next day retreat!

I just returned from the most beautiful luxury wellness retreat, led by my incredible friend, Sara. Every detail was pure magic — from the peaceful setting and nourishing food to the thoughtful sessions that left us grounded, inspired, and full of joy. So many firsts like hypnotherapy, juicing, and meeting with Pinky for an NAD experience. Sharing this experience with my sweet daughter, Kelly, made it even more special. We laughed, reflected, and connected with 8 wonderful women who now feel like lifelong friends. This retreat was exactly what our mind, body, and souls needed. Sara has such a gift for creating spaces that heal, uplift, and bring people together. I’m already dreaming about the next one in Scottsdale! 🌸

Uses For Hypnotherapy

Smoking/Vaping/E-Cigarettes/Chewing Tobacco

Save thousands of dollars a year from not buying cigarettes and on medical bills and add years to your life! Smoking cessation through hypnosis is 3X more effective as a nicotine replacement (patch, etc.) and 15X more effective than willpower alone! Even a habit as challenging to break as smoking can be beaten using the power of your mind and hypnosis.

Weight Loss

As a certified personal trainer and holistic health coach, I understand the struggles so many people face when trying to lose weight. Hypnosis has a long-term and solid track record in helping people safely lose weight. “Studies show that those who used hypnotherapy lost more than twice as much weight as those who dieted without it. Long term, those who used hypnotherapy were able to keep the weight off and improve their eating and exercise habits”

Depression

PTSD/Trauma

Low self-esteem
