WHEN ALL EYES ARE ON YOU

Maybe it's a big presentation, a conference talk, a wedding toast, or simply speaking up in a meeting. You know your material. But the moment attention turns to you, your body takes over: heart pounding, hands shaking, words disappearing.

You might over-prepare, turn down opportunities, or let others speak first. Fear of public speaking is one of the most common fears there is, and it says nothing about your ability.

Your mind learned to treat being seen as a threat. It can learn that you're safe.

WHY HYPNOSIS WORKS SO WELL FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING

The fear response kicks in faster than conscious thought, which is why telling yourself to relax rarely works. Hypnosis works directly with your subconscious to:

  • Calm the automatic fight-or-flight response to an audience

  • Release old experiences that taught your mind speaking is dangerous

  • Mentally rehearse success, so your mind already knows how it goes

IMAGINE THIS…

  • You stand up to present, and your voice comes out steady.

  • Even if you lose your place, you smile, and pick up right where you left off.

  • You say yes to the opportunity instead of finding a reason to avoid it.

  • You speak up in the meeting, and people listen.

  • You walk off stage or out of a meeting and think, "That was actually fun."

IS THIS YOU?

  • You dread presentations or meetings for days, or weeks, beforehand

  • Your body reacts before your mind can catch up

  • You avoid speaking opportunities, even ones that would help your career

  • You're ready to be heard without the fear

IF SO, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

MEET YOUR HYPNOTHERAPIST

Hi, I'm Shannon Eddy. I'm a certified hypnotherapist and coach specializing in subconscious change work for performance, confidence, anxiety and more.

As a former college level lecturer, I know personally what it's like to speak in front of hundreds of people. I combine hypnosis with practical tools so the calm you build in our sessions shows up when you step in front of an audience.

I believe your subconscious mind is always trying to help you, but sometimes it needs new instructions on how to do that. My approach blends hypnosis with nervous system awareness to help your system shift out of old patterns and into a state where change can actually stick.

WHAT WE DO TOGETHER

  • Identify the subconscious triggers behind your speaking discomfort

  • Retrain your body's response to an audience (whether it’s big, small or intimidating)

  • Deeply visualize upcoming talks and presentations

  • Build in-the-moment tools for nerves

  • Strengthen confidence in your voice and your message

WHAT MY CLIENTS REPORT

  • A calmer body, steadier voice and more impact when speaking

  • Clear thinking under pressure

  • Saying yes to more opportunities

  • Less dread in the days beforehand

  • Confidence that carries into other areas of life

READY TO BE HEARD?

You don't have to let fear decide when you speak. Hypnosis can help you find a calm, confident voice that lasts.


Hypnosis for Public Speaking: Common Questions

How quickly can hypnosis help with fear of public speaking?

Fears often respond quickly to hypnosis, and many clients notice a shift within the first few sessions. Your complimentary Hypnosis Strategy Session is where we map out a plan for your success that will generally involve 6-12 sessions.

I have a big presentation coming up. Is there time?

Ideally, we would start at least 6 weeks before an important event, but even a short runway can help. Let me know your date when you book, and we'll plan around it.

How is this different from a public speaking course?

A course teaches presentation skills. Hypnosis for public speaking works with the fear underneath, so you can actually use presentation skills when it counts.

Do you work with stage fright for performers?

Yes. The same patterns show up for musicians, actors and other performers, and the work is personalized to your situation.

Do you offer public speaking hypnosis in person or online?

Both. In-person sessions are at my office in Winchester, MA, convenient to Arlington, Lexington, Woburn and Belmont. Online sessions by Zoom are just as effective and available anywhere.
