It has become clear in her own life as well as in her work with clients that the synergy of a mind-body-spirit approach to healing is most effective in producing positive change. Many people are intrigued by the possibilities for change offered through hypnotherapy, which Glenda makes use of actively. Hypnotherapy helps to reconnect with and release repressed emotions. It facilitates the ability to review anxieties and fears in a safe atmosphere. This process offers healing to the "inner child" and brings profound insights uniquely gained from the unconscious creative mind. This healing can transform the recurring dramas in life so that there is less reactivity and a greater ability to create a nurturing relationship with oneself and others.

Glenda creates guided imagery CD's that are custom made for each client. There audio experiences incorporate uniquely designed words and images that offer comfort, insight and opportunities for accessing and releasing emotions, as well as important insights into healing.
