Bridging the Gap Between Medicine & Mind
Meet Brian Festa, CHT. The Clinical Director and Founder of HeartWise Hypnotherapy.
For years, I have watched patients come to us having bounced between two worlds. They went to their doctors for physical symptoms (IBS, Autoimmune, Pain) and were told, "it's just stress." Then, they went to talk therapists to discuss the stress, but their physical symptoms didn't change.
We often treat the body (the hardware) and the mind (the software) separately. But few practitioners effectively treat the Operating System: the Autonomic Nervous System that connects them.
​That is why I developed the HeartWise Method™. We use clinical hypnosis to relax you deeply, and access the Vagus Nerve to down-regulate the inflammation and fear responses that keep you spinning.
It's Neurobiology, and it works.
It is my privilege to help you embody it.​

"I started HeartWise because I saw a missing link in our healthcare system."
