 
        Hypnotherapy
        The deep subconscious mind is aligned with love, wholeness, and intelligence, 
          and can create empowered action based on truth and health, when it is 
          not conflicted or referencing the past. Hypnotherapy taps into the power 
          of the subconscious mind by removing negative emotional patterns, conflict 
          and limiting beliefs which sabotage behavior, and by visualizing a more desirable
          outcome in a relaxed state. This breaks addictive patterns and negative 
          habits and allows new possibilities for positive change. 
         Energy 
          Bodywork 
        Combines acupressure, breath-work and healing touch to 
          release blocked energy and emotions stored in the body. Used in conjunction 
          with hypnosis, acupressure allows the subtle energy within the body/mind 
          to flow more deeply in a healthful way, and enhances relaxation. 
        Holistic Counseling 
        Holistic Counseling is based on the premise that as human beings, we are intrinsically already whole, and intelligence, creativity and motivation are natural qualities within us. Negative thinking, stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors and relationship challenges result because of negative conditioning and experiences from the past which cover up our innate resourcefulness. Through Hypnotherapy and Holistic Counseling, judgment and self-limiting stories from the past  can be released. The unconditional openness of the heart  can be accessed which heals and releases the past. This in turn opens up new creative possibilities which are in alignment with the present moment and the deepest flow of life. (See  “Holistic Counseling” page for details.)

        ( from Surja's clients and students) 
          "Surja has mastered a complimentary set of skills that link 
          mind and body. It is a synthesis of eastern and western thought in a 
          mature and potent form. In my case, this is exactly what I needed. She 
          is the guide, facilitator and often fierce defender of "me" 
          as we examine the roots of my discomfort. We go to the source. We take 
          the time to understand the situation and envision the happier outcome 
          to help speed the healing of the wound. It works!" Curt 
          M. Scientist. Berkeley, Ca. 
        "I can't tell you what a huge difference the sessions with 
          you have made in my life! My relationships with the people around me 
          are so much healthier and my performance anxiety, which threatened to 
          tank my career, is under control now that I've gained some perspective 
          and some inner security."  D. B., Musician. 
          Oakland, CA 
        "Surja has helped me to create a lasting and internal change-not 
          a cosmetic outer one. She does this through a deep, abiding presence 
          and meeting clients in a safe supportive environment, and guiding them 
          on a journey to the Inner self." Ellen S. 
          Artist, San Francisco

          hypnotherapist. Working with Surja, I have experienced personal transformation 
          at very deep levels, in a relatively short time. I have great respect 
          for her spiritual and intuitive nature, and her ability to guide people 
          toward personal wellness, self acceptance, and fulfilling their life's 
          purpose. (I also lost weight.)" Amanda P, 
          Marketing Director. San Francisco 
        "I attended the medical hypnotherapy class in Oakland where 
          you (Surja) were an Instructor. I have a Psychology degree, and have 
          taught many classes and seminars. You and your presentation were a pure 
          delight. You came across with beautiful energy, loving presence, and 
          accurate, usable information. In short, you were inspiring. You deserve 
          your reputation for effectiveness and skill in the field of hypnotherapy 
          and I would feel very confident about being your client. Congratulations 
          and thank you." Michael D. Psychologist.
