THE INTEGRATED SELF CLINIC

Knowing you're safe and feeling safe are not always the same thing.

You can understand the procedure.
Trust your surgeon.
Know that swelling and discomfort are expected.

Yet your mind can still react as though something is wrong.

Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the automatic responses that logic alone can’t always settle.

This is the gap my work is designed for.

Hypnotherapy allows us to work with automatic emotional and physiological responses that information and reassurance alone don’t always settle.

MEET DEB

Clinical Hypnotherapist & Certified HeartMath® Coach

The emotional side of surgery deserves preparation too.

I’m Deb, a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and Certified HeartMath Coach. I support people before and after plastic surgery, online and in person, in Mexico City.

You can feel comfortable with your decision and still find yourself worrying about anesthesia, struggling to rest, or feeling unsettled by changes in your appearance.

My work focuses on anxiety, nervous system regulation, and self-image, offering space to prepare emotionally and navigate the adjustments that follow.

Your surgical team looks after your medical care.

My role is to support the emotional experience alongside it.

I didn't know what to expect and was surprised at how much she helped me. I was able to confront myself from a safe place, understanding that light and dark are good. She helped me to find balance in my day to day life and to be more compassionate. I am so grateful for the guidance she has given me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deb and I worked together for about six months and she was instrumental in helping me build and lay the foundations for my new business.  She coached me over my own personal hurdles and got (and kept) me on track. I like checking in with her annually just to stay fresh. She’s amazing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been doing sessions with Deb for a couple years now and I have to say that when I take a step back and look at myself now compared to the past, the evidence of growth is tremendous. Everything seems like a small stepping stone until you have created a long trail. I’m happy to say that my trail is continuing to grow with the help of Debs guidance and standards for accountability. If you are on the cusp or even considering giving it a try, I highly recommend it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deb is a kind, compassionate and caring person. She has a warm, open and supportive energy and this is strongly felt during a session with her. I’ve had multiple sessions with Deb and always left having had a thought provoking experience. Deb helped me navigate a period of change and overcome some social anxiety. I would highly recommend a session with Deb to help navigate some of life’s challenges.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A Little Clarity.

Is hypnotherapy a replacement for medical care?

No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary mindset and relaxation service. It does not replace your surgeon, anesthesiologist, licensed mental-health provider, prescribed medication or emergency care.

Can we work specifically on anesthesia anxiety?

Yes. Fear of anesthesia, losing control, not waking up, or feeling vulnerable during the procedure are common concerns we can work with directly.

We can use hypnotherapy and nervous-system-informed techniques to reduce the intensity of those fears and help you approach surgery feeling more grounded.

This support complements and does not replace conversations with your surgeon or anesthesiologist about any medical questions or risks related to anesthesia.

Do I need to be having surgery in Mexico?

No. I work in person in Mexico City and online with clients worldwide, regardless of where their surgery takes place.

When should I start?

Ideally, begin 2–4 weeks before surgery so we have time to identify what is creating the most anxiety and build familiarity with the techniques before your procedure.

If your surgery is sooner, you can still reach out. Even one or two focused sessions may help you feel more prepared going into the experience.

You've prepared for the procedure.
You can prepare for the experience too.
