New Year, New Rates

Happy New Year!

It’s been 6 years since I last updated my rate, so it’s time for another update. As of January 1, 2022, my new rates will be as follows:

  • The base hourly rate is now $180/hr (or $185/hr if you prefer to pay by credit/debit card)

  • The 2-3 hour intro session is now $300 (or $310 by credit/debit card)

Regular clients and those who’ve already booked sessions for January will still get the previous rates.

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 Website

Last night I moved the website to a new hosting service. The content is mostly the same, with only some minor changes. Hopefully there will be some new features in the coming months.

If you spot any issues with the new website, please contact me.

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.

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.

Site Update

I finally got around to doing some much-needed updates on the site.  There's some new and revised text on the Sessions and FAQ pages.  The most important change is the new contact form plug-in on the Contact page.  The old one occasionally failed to deliver messages; hopefully the new one won't have that issue.

Next Magazine article

Next Magazine (NYC's local gay rag) interviewed me a while back for their annual sex issue.  The issue came out today and you can read the article here or grab a physical copy of the magazine in the various gay neighborhoods.Of course, I added a link to the article on the Links section.

MAL wrap up

I'm back from MAL (well, have been for over a week).  I had a great time, met some great people, had some hot play and also had time to meet with a couple of clients.  All in all, a great weekend.Speaking of hot play, I got to play with great guy called Sparky.  We did a one-on-one session Saturday afternoon and then continued to play in public in the hotel lobby later that evening.  He wrote all about it on his blog.  You can read part one here and part two here.As usual, the links have been added to the Links section.

New location and Facebook profile

Until recently I'd been living far uptown ("upstate Manhattan" as my friends would call it). That changed last week when I moved to a nice apartment in Midtown West, a couple of blocks from Penn Station. The best thing about the new apartment is that I'm now able to have clients over for in-calls. The new apartment is a fifth floor walkup, so keep that in mind if you have trouble with stairs.I will still be able to use the room in the Flatiron District (for an additional charge, of course) for clients who don't want to climb up the four flights of stairs or for any other reason.If anyone is interested, I'm now on Facebook. Feel free to add me. I will use it to post updates and maybe for some special offers down the road.

New blog mention

Metalbond booked me for a session a few months ago and has written a great post about it on his very popular bondage blog.  Since his interests are mainly bondage, we focused on immobilization and control triggers.You can read his post here and check out the rest of his blog here.  A link has also been added to the Links page.
