Rather than treating hypnosis as a novelty or a purely motivational tool, this approach places it within a medical-support context, where relief, recovery, and resilience are the primary aims. Pain elimination, surgical preparation, and assistance during periods of compromised health form the core of the work, with hypnosis used as a focused method for influencing the mind-body experience of distress and healing. A defining principle of the practice is a strong belief in the value of self-hypnosis.

It is regarded here not as a secondary exercise, but as a powerful self-help technique—one that extends the benefits of hypnotic work beyond the session itself and gives individuals an active role in their own care. That commitment to self-directed support reinforces a broader philosophy: hypnosis can be both a therapeutic intervention and a practical tool for ongoing well-being. In New York, Lisa Ludovici’s practice is devoted to using hypnotherapy in service of comfort, recovery, and renewed health, with particular focus on reducing suffering and helping people move through medically challenging experiences with greater ease.
