Meet Jessica

When you choose Mind Works, you’ll be working with me, Jessica Karas. I am certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and abide by their high standards and code of ethics. In addition, I am a member of the 5-PATH association, a group that trains in and practices an advanced form of hypnosis known as Age Regression. I work with men, women, and children ages 5 and up. I specialize in children’s and women’s issues, and the unique challenges faced by parents and families of children with Autism.

On a personal note, I am married and have 3 children, one of whom has Autism. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and am a certified fitness instructor for the YMCA. My family and I practice Tae Kwon Do – I have a black belt – and I am a  mentor in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.

Before I became a hypnotist, I was a client. I struggled with personal issues for years and went to every kind of doctor and therapist imaginable. Feeling hopeless and frustrated, I went for hypnosis sessions. I had the feeling that this was my last resort and if these sessions didn’t help, there was nothing left to try.

They helped tremendously. So much so, that I wanted to know more about how and why hypnosis works. I became a hypnotherapist so I could help others  heal, change, and grow, just like I did.
