Inspiring Thoughts
“Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, creating new pathways for healing and transformation. Together, we can unlock the changes you wish to see in your life.”
"Hypnotherapy works by guiding individuals into a relaxed state where the subconscious mind becomes more open to suggestions. Clients can explore thoughts and feelings that may have been previously been blocked, enabling them to address issues such as anxiety, stress, and unwanted habits. This therapeutic approach harnesses the power of the mind to foster positive change and self-discovery, helping individuals unlock their potential and achieve their goals."
Jodi Townsend RCH
I am passionate about helping people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Through a compassionate, holistic approach, I support individuals who have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or who feel held back by limiting beliefs. Together, we work to restore confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
I provide a safe and nurturing space to help you manage anxiety, build self-confidence, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner strength.
I have completed over 1,000 hours of professional training in Clinical Hypnotherapy through the Canadian Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy, providing me with a strong foundation in evidence-informed therapeutic practice. I am a proud regulated member of the Canadian Association of Counselling Hypnotherapists and Educators (CACHE).
Alongside my clinical training, I bring a deeply intuitive and holistic perspective to my work. I am a Reiki Master and Teacher in Usui, Karuna, and Violet Flame Reiki; an intuitive empath, channeler, mindfulness coach, meditation teacher and facilitator, and sound healer; and a certified massage therapist with more than 30 years of experience. These modalities let me create sessions that nurture the mind, body, and spirit while supporting each client's healing journey.
I am also a trained and certified End-of-Life Doula. I offer compassionate emotional, spiritual, and practical support to individuals and families navigating the final stages of life. My role is to provide comfort, guidance, and a calming presence, helping create a peaceful and meaningful experience while honouring each person's unique wishes, beliefs, and journey. Having personally experienced trauma and PTSD, I understand the courage it takes to seek support. This lived experience helps me meet my clients with genuine empathy, compassion, and understanding, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can unfold at your own pace.
If you're considering working with me, I invite you to book a discovery meeting, either in person or by phone. It's a chance for us to connect, discuss your goals, and see whether my approach is the right fit for you.
Jodi Townsend Hypnotherapy and Wellness is based in Cochrane, Alberta, offering in-person sessions in a welcoming, private home-based practice, as well as virtual appointments for clients anywhere.
Our Services
I provide a range of holistic wellness services to assist in your mind, body and soul health
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Our individual sessions focus on personal challenges, using hypnotherapy techniques to promote deep relaxation and positive change. Each session is tailored to your goals to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your desired outcomes.
Available in person and online.
Discovery calls are required prior to sessions taking place for all potential clients.
Reiki Energy Healing
During these sessions, I use a hands-on approach, but I can also use a hands-off approach if you prefer. Universal energy flows from the Divine source through me to you. You will receive the amount of energy you need to bring your mind and body into balance. Each session ends with the beautiful sound of my Tibetan singing bowl. Crystal healing, Tuning Forks and guided meditation may also be incorporated into a session.
Holistic Wellness Coaching - Menopause
Through a blend of clinical hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, and holistic menopause coaching, I offer a safe, supportive space to calm the inner chaos and reconnect you to your strength. We gently work with the subconscious patterns that amplify stress, support emotional balance, and help your body feel safe again during this hormonal transition. Menopause isn’t just physical. It’s emotional. It’s energetic. It’s transformational. This is not the end of your vitality.
End of Life Doula Service
I believe that the end of life deserves the same compassion, dignity, and care as every other stage of our journey. As an End-of-Life Doula, I provide gentle, non-medical emotional, spiritual, and holistic support to individuals facing a life-limiting illness, as well as to the families and loved ones walking beside them.
Every person’s journey is unique. My role is to create a calm, supportive space where fears can be explored, meaningful conversations can unfold, and peace can be nurtured. Through a personalized blend of clinical hypnotherapy, Reiki, guided meditation, spiritual healing, and compassionate presence, I help clients find comfort, reduce anxiety, ease emotional distress, and reconnect with inner peace.
I understand that comfort often comes from familiar surroundings. Whenever possible, I will come to you, providing support in the comfort and privacy of your home, hospice, or care residence. My goal is to create a peaceful, nurturing environment where you and your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for.
Support extends beyond the individual. Family members and caregivers are often carrying their own emotional burdens, and they, too, deserve care. I offer guidance, emotional support, relaxation techniques, and a compassionate presence to help loved ones navigate anticipatory grief, difficult decisions, and the profound transition that accompanies the end of life.
My intention is to honour each person’s beliefs, values, and wishes, providing a safe, respectful environment where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we create space for healing, meaningful connection, and the opportunity to approach this sacred stage of life with greater peace, comfort, and dignity.
If you are wondering whether end-of-life doula support is right for you or someone you love, I invite you to reach out for a compassionate, no-obligation conversation. This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss your needs, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether my approach feels like the right fit for you and your family. There is no pressure—just a safe, supportive space to begin the conversation whenever you are ready.
It would be my honour to walk alongside you and your loved ones during this sacred journey, offering compassionate care, comfort, and presence every step of the way

Eight sessions provide space to go beyond addressing a single concern and explore the bigger picture, allowing deeper therapeutic work and meaningful, lasting change.

Each 60-minute session builds on the last, allowing us to go deep and work toward lasting transformation. Your commitment to your change is an investment in yourself. While I exclusively offer hypnotherapy packages, I can accommodate different financial situations. Please note that one-off sessions are not available unless you have worked with me before. Potential clients are encouraged to check with health insurance providers to determine whether services are covered under their Health Spending Account (HSA).
What Our Clients Say
I am forever grateful for the hypnosis sessions I have done with Jodi. She is professional and compassionate. Her soothing voice, her peaceful and comfortable environment made it extremely easy to relax. She has helped me with my anxiety as well as my deep routed limiting beliefs that had kept me stuck in life.
I am loving the person that I am becoming more and more everyday. My anxiety is no longer crippling. I can now speak up for myself, I have control over my reactions, I have confidence and self worth for once in my life. I feel like I have been given a second chance in life.
JH
I came to Jodi for Hypnosis because I wanted help to overcome some fears I had about cancer returning. I didn’t know what to expect to be honest as I had never been hypnotized before. I’m not usually fearful of anything tangible and tend to face challenges head on, but the fear of the unknown and the possibility that every ache and pain I experienced could be the worst thing repeating itself was becoming overwhelming and I needed help to help me control my thoughts and feelings.
Jodi was kind and patient and lead me through the whole process and what would happen so that I knew what to expect. We had a couple of sessions and she then took a different route to help me get to the root cause of the issue and this was a real breakthrough for me. She helped me take control subconsciously and work through my thought patterns. She really has helped me and the whole experience has been such a positive experience. She left me with long lasting subconscious strategies that seem to provide some comfort and strength when I need it.
I would highly recommend Jodi and this process to anyone and especially when you have explored other methods to help you cope and you need something different but effective.
JR
Jodi has such an amazing talent and she makes you feel completely comfortable and safe.
She helped me with different aspects such as allowing myself to grief, how to deal with my pain, depression and with sleep.
Over the last two years I had to deal with several health issues and life changes which over time I fell into depression. I was not able to allow myself to grieve and move forward, building a new life. I lost interest in what I used to enjoy; I was existing but not living.
Jodi is very in tune, and with her guidance I realized that it is ok not to be ok. I was able to give myself permission to grieve the loss of a life I thought I would have, the life I used to have and no longer have and how to cherish the old life but not dwell in the grief. She helped me use tools to make new memories, and I started to enjoy some of my hobbies and interests.
I recommend Jodi to anyone who is interested or in need of hypnotherapy because without her I would be still deep into my depression and only existing and not enjoying life again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of hypnotherapy do you offer?

How do I book a session?
Booking a session is simple! Click the "Book Now" button to select a discovery meeting, or contact us by phone or email to schedule an appointment at a time that works for you. We are here to assist you every step of the way.
What should I expect during a session?
During your hypnotherapy session, you can expect a calm and supportive environment. Jodi will guide you into a relaxed state, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings deeply while working towards your desired changes.
Do I remain in control during a hypnotherapy session?
Absolutely. You remain in control throughout the entire session.
Hypnotherapy is not about being unconscious, losing control, or being made to do something against your will. You are awake, aware and able to hear and respond to what is happening around you.
You cannot be made to do anything that goes against your values or wishes. Your mind can accept or reject suggestions, and you can communicate with me at any time.
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process. You are always in the driver's seat—we simply use a deeply relaxed state to help you access the thoughts, beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, so you can begin creating lasting change.
What does a hypnotherapy session feel like?
Hypnotherapy feels like deep relaxation and focused awareness. You remain awake and aware, but your mind may feel calmer and more focused, allowing you to turn your attention inward.
Everyone experiences hypnosis differently. There is no need to clear your mind or “do it right”—simply allow yourself to relax and be guided through the process. Really, there is no such thing as a hypnotized feeling.
Will I have to talk about painful experiences?
No. You are never required to talk about anything you are not comfortable sharing.
Hypnotherapy can work with the thoughts, feelings and patterns connected to an experience without requiring you to relive it or go into painful detail. We will always work at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.
