In Person Sessions Are Back, But Still Offering Online Sessions!

I am now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, so I’ve decided to start seeing clients in person again!

The CDC has concluded that there’s very little risk in fully vaccinated people spending time together indoors without masks. However, it’s still unclear how much of a risk an unvaccinated person has from being around an unmasked vaccinated person indoors. So if you’re unvaccinated (or not yet fully vaccinated), it’s important that you are aware of the potential risk of an in person session, and possibly consider putting it off till you’re fully vaccinated.

In the last year, I’ve had great success with online sessions (both therapeutic and erotic), so I plan to continue offering those to people who aren’t in NYC, aren’t vaccinated, or just don’t feel like getting on the subway to come to my place.

As always, if you’re interested in booking a session (in person or online), contact me!

Online Sessions

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, I have decided to offer online hypnotherapy sessions over Skype. While under normal circumstances in-person rapport is ideal, webcam sessions can still be very beneficial when in-person contact is not possible.

For online sessions, you will need a quiet room with a comfortable spot to sit down or lay down, positioned so that I’ll be able to see your face and upper body. You’ll also need a decently fast internet connection and a good quality camera.

As with in-person sessions, the intro session will take 2-3 hours. Payment will be online, by paying an invoice with your credit/debit card through a third party processor (I will not have access to your card details).

As of now, online sessions will be mainly for hypnotherapy (including sexual issues, of course). I will consider doing some erotic hypnosis online too, on a case-by-case basis.

If you’d like to book an online session, contact me and we’ll set it up.

New rates

After almost 7 years, it was time to (modestly) update my rates. The new rates are on the Sessions page. Existing clients and those who've booked their session before the rate change are grandfathered into the old rates.I also made some updates to the FAQ and Contact page.

Non-working vacation: 11/28-12/8/2014

I'm going to be out of town and unavailable for sessions from November 28th thru December 8th, 2014. I will be able to respond to messages, but will not be able to take phone calls. I may be able to respond to text messages, but probably not in a timely manner.I'll be back in NYC on December 9th and will be available for sessions shortly thereafter.

Nerve article and new No Safe Word podcast

I was recently interviewed for Nerve's "Storytime with..." feature. You can read the interview here.On my recent trip to Seattle I had the pleasure of taping another episode of the No Safe Word podcast. I even got to demonstrate some hypnotic triggers "on the air". You can listen to the episode here, or download it on iTunes by searching for "NoSafeWord" under podcasts and downloading episode 40.

Podcast guest appearance

A couple of nights ago I had the pleasure of being a guest on the recording of the No Safe Word podcast, hosted by my good friend Sparky and his hilarious co-host, Daddy Tony.  I got to talk about hypnosis and some of the things I do with it.The podcast is now available.  You can listen to it here, or download it on iTunes (search for "NoSafeWord" in the podcasts section and listen to Episode 6).I will hopefully be on a future episode of the podcast to talk more about hypnosis and to answer questions from listeners.  If you have any questions you'd like me to answer "on the air", send them to info@nosafeword.com.

Twitter

I've finally joined Twitter.  If you want to follow me, I'm @Erotic_Hypno on there.  I'm planning to tweet quite a bit, including some pictures and updates about my life and my job.  I'm hoping it will be a great way to interact with people.

Moving

Next Thursday, March 29, I will be moving to a new apartment in Chelsea. The new place will be much nicer than the old one, and is only a second floor walkup (compared to my current fifth floor walkup). It will still be very conveniently located to transportation, right by the 1 and C/E subway lines, and a short walk from the F/M and N/R lines.Moving, of course, means upending one's life for a short period.  As such, I won't be available for in-calls from Tuesday, March 27, through Saturday, March 31.  I should have the new place set up by Sunday, April 1.  However, in between packing, moving and unpacking, I should have some time for out-calls.

TV Appearance: Daniel Nardicio's Sh*t Show

Last week I taped a guest appearance on a cable-access TV show called Daniel Nardicio's Sh*t Show. It's a wacky talk show with all kinds of interesting and non-standard guests. Besides a short interview, I got to show off my skills by hypnotizing a member of the audience backstage and then bringing him out and demonstrating some basic erotic hypnosis tricks. The finale was turning him into a stripper, having him give a lap dance to a drag queen and then strip completely. Needless to say it was a lot of fun.The show airs on MNN1 (channel 34 or 78 on TWC, 82 on RCN or 33 on Verizon) at 1am Wednesday nights (really Thursday mornings). I'm not sure when the episode I'm on will air, but there's a good chance it will be next Wednesday (May 18). MNN1 is only available for cable subscribers in Manhattan, but it can also be viewed online on the MNN website (this is a live view, not archived, so you'd have to be online at 1am EDT to watch the show).A regular guest on the Sh*t Show is Michael Musto from the Village Voice. He recently started a video section on his blog and posted a video from the show I was on. You can see a couple of short segments with me in them.You can see Michael Musto's original post on the Village Voice blog.
