The patterns that keep us stuck are rarely conscious.
Depth Hypnosis opens the doorway to the wisdom within where healing, clarity, and authentic power begin.

Depth Hypnosis is an integrative therapeutic model developed by Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D., combining principles of psychology, hypnotherapy, shamanism, and Buddhist philosophy.

Rather than relying on diagnosis, it helps individuals access their own inner guidance to resolve the unconscious patterns that drive stress, anxiety, and self-sabotage.

Backed by Research

In 2015, a study was conducted on the efficacy of Depth Hynosis in the treatment of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-
traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study strongly suggests that Depth Hypnosis provides expedient and significant shifts in symptoms of
depression, anxiety, PTSD, and overall well being.

Meet Jamie,
The Village Alchemist

Depth Hypnosis Practitioner • Inner World Guide • Dreamwork Facilitator

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to what lives beneath the surface; the patterns we carry, the stories we inherit, and the quiet wisdom of the inner world. When I truly began to understand the unconscious , not just intellectually, but experientially, it became clear to me that this work holds the key to profound, lasting transformation.

I offer Depth Hypnosis, dreamwork, guided imagery, and other integrative tools to help people access their own inner guidance, release suffering, and reconnect with what’s true. My sessions are gentle, revealing, and often deeply moving. Clients often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and a little in awe of what just unfolded, not because I gave them the answers, but because they were able to tap into a deep well of wisdom, strength and comfort within themselves.

People who find their way to me are usually curious, open-minded, and ready for an alternative to talk therapy or an addition to it. They may be navigating anxiety, trauma, feeling stuck, repetitive unwanted behaviors or patterns, and attachment struggles… or simply sensing that it’s time to get to know themselves more deeply.

This work is my calling. I hold it with reverence, precision, and deep care, because I know how hard life can be at times, and how powerful it is to finally feel peace, insight, and meaning from within.
