What is Kaizen?

"Kaizen" is a Japanese term that translates to "continuous improvement." By combining the philosophy of continuous, incremental improvement with the deep, transformative power of hypnosis, individuals can make lasting changes in their lives, one small step at a time. Kaizen's focus on gradual progress aligns perfectly with hypnosis, which allows individuals to access their subconscious mind to overcome limiting beliefs, build new habits, and enhance self-awareness. Through hypnosis, clients can tap into their inner resources, while Kaizen's principle encourages patience, consistency, and self-compassion, ensuring that each step forward is meaningful and sustainable.

Hi, I'm Anna – Certified Hypnotist and Heart-Centered Guide for Personal Transformation

Anna smiling at the camera outdoors

I have a deep passion for helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I hold certifications as a 5-PATH® Hypnotist through the Banyan Hypnosis Center, a 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® Teacher, and a Master Hypnotist. I am a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), the world's largest and oldest professional organization for hypnotists.

My journey into hypnosis started on a very personal level—I used it to support the birthing of my daughter, and I was in awe of how powerfully it transformed my life during a major career change. That experience lit a fire in me. Hypnosis didn’t just help me—it changed me. That’s when I knew this was my path. This is heart-centered work, and I’m all in. I graduated from the Cascade Hypnosis Center in Bellingham in November 2024, where I refined the skills I now use every day to help others overcome obstacles, reach their goals, and step into their full potential. I live on the Swinomish Reservation in La Conner, WA, with my husband—who is also my business partner—and our wonderful children. We believe deeply in the work we do and the impact it can have on people’s lives.

Outside of hypnosis, I recharge in nature. I love hiking, camping, and connecting with the outdoors. I’m also fascinated by neuroscience and the mind-body connection—it’s incredible how much power we hold within ourselves when we understand how the mind works. More than anything, I’m here to be your biggest cheerleader. I bring empathy, encouragement, and proven tools to every session to help you create real, lasting results. As a mother of two I love working with children and teenagers using the power of 5-PATH® hypnosis process to help them build confidence, overcome challenges, and thrive from the inside out. Whether you're looking to improve your well-being, move past what's holding you back, or achieve your goals—I’m here to guide and empower you every step of the way.

Path Program Testimonials

S. Robbins

"My 7th Path Self Hypnosis practice has been transformative in so many ways. The first four recognitions brought up things I had no idea I was holding onto -- feelings that had carried over from past relationships in my life that had left me feeling not "good enough." I actually had no idea I was holding on to old hurts, things that had made me feel "less than" in the past. 7th Path just gently brought them up, gave me a number of "ah-ha" moments, and let me release these old wounds. It also helped me release my "story" of not being a "good enough" mother. I've been able to forgive myself for things I did or said, knowing that if I had had the tools that I have now, I would have handled things differently. I am much gentler with myself now, having the insights that I've had in practicing 7th Path."

Practicing 7th Path self-hypnosis regularly has brought a sense of calm and focus to my life, on a daily basis, that I never knew was possible.

In 2021, I sought help to address my compulsive habit of crunching ice with my teeth, which was causing noticeable harm. Despite concerns from my dentist and myself, I found it impossible to quit. Following my initial session, I inexplicably ceased the habit. Through 5-PATH® hypnosis sessions, I was provided a clear path to healing, effectively addressing the root of my issue, and ultimately preserving my dental health. I'm grateful for the comprehensive approach that saved my teeth.

The immense relief and calm that being a 5-PATH® hypnosis client brought me was truly life changing! It also really “upped” my confidence helped effect such positive change. Truly thankful.

7th Path has helped me reconnect with my own personal highest self and my higher power. I no longer feel like I’m living life unsupported and alone. In fact, I have a new partner to high five and celebrate the wins of the day with and also to refocus and regroup with when needed.

RaeAnn Rosario

It was through 5-PATH® hypnosis that I learned there was some early childhood stuff that had been getting in the way of my confidence to pursue my business ideas. My 5-PATH® cut straight to the root of the problem and I was finally able to launch my business. 😊

Oh my gosh, 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® has become my best friend. I have been doing it personally daily for 14 months and have found it increases my intuition and confidence. Thank you!

For the last 18 months I suffered with PTSD after a traumatic and shocking grand mal seizure at the park while walking my beloved little dogs. It left me with a fragile and raw nervous system, a feeling of death lurking around every corner. 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® picked me up when I was down. It nurtured me with loving arms! Divine in its journey of renewal, forgiveness, and love, it gave me the strength to get up, breathe & live, swept in its Divine current once again.

Glenda Lorraine Barber

I experienced 5-PATH® and continue to use 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®. The benefits were increased self-love for me and setting down the judgment habit loop. Becoming aware of what it felt like to not carry tension everywhere in my body and choose to have it differently. The difference was awareness inside and what was possible to feel like I do without it there. It was life-changing to set this down. Then to set the judgement loop & frustration of a cycle running away again. I, too, set down chronic anxiety and holding myself tense. As well as telling myself I’m wrong, broken or not enough when the self-judgement cycle would begin. It has been wonderful to receive! Happy and calm and loving the changes.

5-PATH® and 7th Path™, both have helped me gain more confidence in myself. Strengthened the areas of weaknesses that hindered me from growing in my career and other areas of my life that needed improvements. 7th Path has given me peace. It has allowed me to heal mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have gained strength to push myself further where I lacked. It has also heightened my awareness to hold myself accountable to changes I want to improve in, versus making excuses for myself. Lastly, 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® has given me strength and wisdom to free myself of the past and not worry and overthink about the future. Which leaves me feeling grateful for living in the now. Life in itself is not perfect. But how we react and respond to what is happening, will depend on how we feel and think from within.
