I, along with my colleague, Loretta Rippee, Ed.M, C.Ht., will be offering a free stress workshop on Saturday, October 11, 2008, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm.

During the workshop we will be talking about the different types of stress and the effect it has on your mind and body.  Participants will have the opportunity to share the things that stress them out.  We will be teaching and demonstrating some stress reducrtion techniques that anyone can use, anytime, to manage stress and  live a more satisfying life.

The workshop will be at our offices at 34 N.E. Boistfort, in Marketplace Square in downtown Chehalis.

We ask those interested to please call and register, since space is limited.

Please go to my website for further information.

Hi.  My name is Rita Ballard; I am a consulting hypnotist and the owner of Awareness Hypnosis.  My office is located in Chehalis, Washington. 

I have been registered as a hypnotist with the state of Washington since 1997.  I have always been fascinated by the mind.  It seems to be the driving force behind this vehicle that is my body, but it isn’t anything tangible, and to me, that’s fascinating.

So, I thought that one of the easiest ways to actually learn about the mind - without taking years of college and spending oodles of money that I didn’t have  - was to become a hypnotist.

Within this blog I will offer you random musings, hypnosis news, facts, and tidbits that I hope will be either useful or interesting to you (maybe both, if we get lucky).
