Ashland Mind Matters is an advanced hypnotherapy practice in Ashland, Oregon, led by Lydia Norris. The practice presents hypnosis as a natural, focused state of mind and takes a practical, goal-oriented approach to supporting intentional change. Its philosophy emphasizes that hypnosis is distinct from stage performance or manipulation, and that concerns such as fear, resistance, difficulty relaxing, or ambivalence about goals are part of the therapeutic process to be addressed with clarity and reassurance.
