Heal The Wounds That Trigger You. Trust Your Innate Wisdom. Honor Your Sensitivity. Live The Life Your Heart Desires.

FOR DEEPLY SENSITIVE, INTUITIVE PEOPLE

Feel deeply. Trust yourself. Flourish.

You're a deeply sensitive, perceptive person who has already done the work.

And yet… there’s still a reaction that takes over when someone you love is upset with you. A yes that leaves your mouth before you’ve decided. An ability you clearly have that becomes hard to reach the moment it matters most. 

You see it happening while it’s happening, you know exactly what it is, and you still can’t stop it.

You’re not looking for more insight. You’re ready for the part insight hasn’t reached.

YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE

 

Your sensitivity was never the problem.

You notice what others miss. You feel deeply, perceive subtle shifts, and often know something before you can explain how you know it. But when your sensitivity has learned to keep watch over the world around you, those same gifts can become vigilance, worry, over-responsibility, or self-doubt.

The answer isn’t to become less sensitive. It’s to heal what has kept your sensitivity on guard duty, so you can become free to use your gifts with wisdom, discernment, and choice.

While other therapeutic techniques relieve the symptoms of emotional pain, psycho-spiritual hypnosis resolves the invisible wounds that cause it.

THE SKILLED SENSITIVE

Sensitivity is an innate gift and an extraordinary instrument of perception. The skill to use that gift is developed.

Think of someone born with a beautiful singing voice. Voice lessons don’t give her the voice. They help her understand her instrument and develop the skill to use it with greater range, control, discernment, and expression.

Your sensitivity works much the same way. You may naturally perceive subtleties, emotions, energy, possibilities, and information that others miss. Becoming a Skilled Sensitive is about healing what interferes with your ability to use your sensitivity well, so you become freer to trust what you perceive, discern what it means, and choose what you do with it. And when your sensitivity is no longer consumed with keeping you safe, it becomes free to help you recognize what delights you, what calls to you, and what your heart desires.

Hi, I’m Sherris. I’m a hypnocoach for deeply sensitive, intuitive people who know there’s more to healing than understanding why you do what you do. I help you work with what’s happening beneath the surface, so you can heal old wounds, trust yourself deeply, and become free to live the life your heart desires.

Through a powerful combination of psychological and spiritual work, I guide my clients on a transformative journey to heal hidden wounds and release the patterns and behaviors that hold them back, allowing them to confidently and authentically embody their greatest truths, gifts, and talents. 

My approach is compassionately direct, non-judgmental, and client-centered. My methods provide lasting change and are supported by extensive research, science, and years of successful application. 

I offer online appointments held over Zoom, allowing me to serve my clients wherever they may be in the world. 

When all else fails, I help you shed the wounding and create a new future, so you are free to be your most authentic self. I invite you to fill out my intake form to discover whether this path is right for you.

Psycho-Spiritual Hypnotherapy: Traveling the bridge between healing and becoming.

While hypnotherapy is highly effective in treating a wide range of issues, psycho-spiritual hypnotherapy focuses on deep emotional healing and spiritual growth, allowing you to release long-held wounds, integrate profound new insights, and discover the truth of who you are without the layers of pain, trauma, uncertainty, and anxiety that mask your divine essence.

The result: real, potent, and permanent change that manifests more quickly and easily than you ever imagined.

My clients tell me they have tried many other ways to heal, but nothing changed until they began working with me. I work with motivated people who are ready to fully engage in their healing process. If you’re committed to changing your current lived experience and willing to do the work, there are no limits to what you can achieve.

When you finally understand what is holding you back, you can begin to heal and come home to yourself. It would be my honor to guide you along this path.

“Thank you, Sherris – for being on the front lines and showing me the way.”

Patty F.

“My experience with Sherris was life-changing. She helped me to find my parental voice and to see myself as a source of love, strength, light and more. I am so grateful for Sherris’ gentle voice and effective guidance and was amazed that the handful of sessions with her were more effective than the dozens of sessions I’d had with my traditional therapist. Thank you Sherris!”

Cheri B

“I had an extremely powerful and moving session with Ms. Shank. With her guidance I was able to connect deeply with important feelings that I was not aware of. Her intuitive understanding of my situation made the experience safe and very meaningful. I have recommended her to several of my close friends.”

Greg M

Northville, MI

“It’s been three weeks since our session and I feel so fantastic. Prior to our session I was worn out emotionally and my hope had faded so greatly that I felt I had really lost my spark. All that has changed! I’m boldly moving forward in the direction of impact and money has again begun to flow. Thank you beyond words! Profoundly grateful, with so much love,”

Sherris has helped me to find my voice, work through difficult mental patterns, and strengthen my sense of self-worth a great deal. Hypnosis has brought me clarity and even spiritual guidance. I recommend her to anyone interested in personal insight and growth!

Sherris is an extremely gifted hypnotherapist, and I give her my highest recommendation. I have struggled with a fear of flying on and off for most of my adult life - and I live and work abroad and am required to fly a lot. I myself am an advanced healer and have worked with many healers trying to overcome this fear that was really bringing down my quality of life. Then, after only a 15-minute session with Sherris, I literally feel completely released from this fear. I am now at ease on flights with no anxiety or discomfort. Sherris is a true miracle worker.

For years I carried anger and frustration. I tried a variety of methods to find a solution. All of which did not get to the core of what was causing my anger. Someone mentioned hypnosis so I did my research. Sherris was the only one I could find that addressed the whole person by working through past and present to understand the drivers of the behavior so she could get to the core. Each session (and I recommend multiple sessions), proved to peel back the years to address it and then move beyond it. You have to put the time in to listen to the sessions so you can internalize it, and I do some refreshers when needed. But I now control my anger and not let my anger control me. The result has been a much happier and positive life. Family feels the difference, I feel the difference and enjoy life so much more. I’m not stuck and holding on to anger, which never served me in a good way at all. The cloud has been lifted and I am grateful for Sherris and her gift!

It is with no exaggeration that I say my sessions with Sherris changed the course of my life. It is difficult to find the words for this review because with her support, my entire world was blown wide open. In the best possible way. I came to Sherris in a chronic fog of confusion and pain. Though I had been on a healing journey of my own for quite some time, I was still suffering and unclear of what was at the core of it. After just one appointment, it was as if a veil was lifted. So many years of trying to change and suddenly life began to transform before me, seemingly with no effort. Masks were removed from some of those closest to me, including myself. Repressed trauma resurfaced and released. True healing began unfolding. It has been almost a year since I first began working with Sherris and I can barely recognize my life today. With her support, I truly shifted into a higher vibrational timeline/reality. My environment, my physical health, my mental well-being, my relationships; every aspect of my life is now brighter, lighter, and more whole. I can’t say enough about the powerful practice of hypnotherapy or about the beautiful, healing soul that is Sherris Cottier. She is someone who exudes the strength to help you face any darkness, and the empathy to help soothe any wound. She is wise, fierce and so kind. I would wish for anyone to cross this wonderful woman’s path and I’m beyond thankful she crossed mine. Eternally grateful for the unspeakable gift of giving me back my life. Thank you, Sherris 🧙‍♀️💖🥲

I hired Sherris for several hypnotherapy sessions. She has been great to work with and has a way of making you feel calm, comfortable and free to share. I’m very happy with the progress I have made and I believe it would not have been possible without her assisting me. She also takes the time to explain how hypnotherapy works and what to expect. I’d highly recommend Sherris if you are interested in hypnotherapy. She’s amazing!

Sherri's is awesome. She takes the time to understand your situation and come up with a plan to best help your needs. As someone who likes to learn, I really appreciate her explaining the process and helping me understand what we are working on.

My latest podcast appearances

Hypnotherapy is a gentle process that starts with you and I discussing how you would like to change and grow. We consider why you want this change and how the problem is currently affecting you. In hypnosis, we work with your subconscious mind to initiate changes in underlying beliefs that may be holding you back. In mindful coaching, you are guided to choose new patterns of thought that support your goal. The combination of hypnosis and mindful coaching allows you to fully integrate new insights, beliefs, and habits so you can take inspired action to create the life you want.

Have you ever felt stuck, unable to shake off persistent fears or unhealthy patterns? Did you know that hypnosis is one of our most POWERFUL (and misunderstood!!) spiritual tools? This episode features a live hypnosis session with Sherris Shank, showcasing the swift and impactful results of hypnotherapy that helps us discover how hypnosis can shine a light on your subconscious mind, helping you to understand and release fears, shift behaviors, and find true peace.
