About Penny
I thought I knew
how my life would go.
Board-certified hypnotist, trainer and former nurse anesthetist.
I work with the subconscious at the level of identity, not just symptoms. Because the patterns that run your life usually aren’t the problem. They’re conditioning that got repeated long enough to feel like you.

My story
The career I thought
I'd retire from.
I spent 25 years in healthcare, 15 of them as a nurse anesthetist. Honestly, I thought I’d do that until I retired.
In 2013 I studied hypnosis out of curiosity. I had no idea it would become the catalyst for remembering who I am.
The years that followed were hard ones. I lost my father and his wife within ten months of each other while juggling a job, a new business and a teenager. We moved from Connecticut to Mississippi. And eventually, everything I hadn’t dealt with caught up with me.
In 2018, I sat in another hypnotist’s chair and my life did a 180. I reopened my practice. In October 2019, I walked away from healthcare for good.
What changed everything
I didn't need a better version
of who I was taught to be.
What changed my life wasn’t a better coping strategy. It was clearing the conditioning I had mistaken for who I am.
In 2021 I began an apprenticeship with Don Xavier, my shaman (not the one on YouTube). Many shamanic deaths have followed.
I believe in the subconscious mind, neuroplasticity, memory and patterning. I also believe in intuition, synchronicity, consciousness and soul. I refuse to choose between them.

On my team
Meet Tina
I’m Tina — a mother, nature lover, and outdoor enthusiast who finds joy and clarity on singletrack trails, whether I’m on two feet or two wheels. I believe that clarity, peace, and personal power come from within, and nature is where I reconnect to all three. It’s that same grounded presence and deep self-connection I help others cultivate through the power of subconscious transformation.
With a background in elite downhill mountain biking and a high-performance career in sales leadership, I understand the drive to succeed—and the toll it can take when we’re disconnected from our inner truth. My own journey from burnout to breakthrough led me to hypnosis, where I finally found the sustainable clarity, confidence, and calm I had been searching for.
Today, I’m a certified hypnosis professional trained by Penny Chiasson, specializing in subconscious reprogramming, nervous system regulation, and advanced conversational hypnosis. I blend science-backed methods with intuitive insight to help clients break free from outdated patterns, shift belief systems at the root, and embody a more grounded, empowered way of living.
Now, as a practitioner alongside Penny, I’m honored to return to the roots of my own transformation—offering tools I know create real, lasting change. My approach is compassionate, direct, and deeply effective—for those ready to reclaim their inner authority and live from a place of truth and alignment.
I love helicoptering to mountain bike heli drops!
