About Brian Festa

Founder of HeartWise Hypnotherapy

Bridging the Gap Between Medicine & Mind

Meet Brian Festa, CHT — Clinical Director of HeartWise Hypnotherapy

Why I Started HeartWise

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.

The Nervous System Connection

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.

The Development of the HeartWise Method™

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.​
