About Whimzee

I spent more than a decade listening for the structures beneath people’s stories.

It started in narrative. As a developmental editor and story coach, I worked with writers and creators building imagined worlds — helping them find the architecture underneath their characters, the symbolic logic holding a story together, the patterns that made something resonate or fall flat. Thousands of hours of that work taught me to hear what a narrative is actually about, beneath the plot.

Then I discovered hypnosis, and everything I’d been doing with fictional characters turned out to work with the real ones running people’s lives.

Whimzee — transformational coach, hypnotherapist, and symbolic language specialist

Now I’m a transformational coach, certified hypnotherapist, and symbolic language specialist. I work with imaginative, sensitive high performers who built a life that works from the outside by translating themselves into something more palatable — and who are feeling the cost. Through hypnosis, guided imagination, and symbolic exploration, my clients meet the patterns actually driving their experience and work with them directly. Patterns built experientially change experientially.

I also train practitioners. For more than six years, I’ve led weekly symbolic skill-development groups and hypnosis practice sessions, helping hypnotists and coaches develop the confidence to work with metaphor as a living part of the change process. I founded Flight Club, a practice community for hypnotists, coaches, and facilitators across modalities, and I serve as a practice group call leader for HTA’s Hypnotherapy University.

My background stretches across more territory than most people expect. Psychology research, graduate work in social ecology, film and television production, screenwriting mentorship, intellectual property research — and then the turn toward hypnotherapy, symbolic language, energy work, and the inner landscape. Every stop along the way taught me something about how people construct meaning. It all gets used.

What I Do

For people at a crossroads

Private transformational coaching through the Flight Path — a four-month container for real change. Hypnosis, symbolic exploration, and deep pattern work for people who are done performing a smaller version of themselves.

For practitioners

Training and community through Flight Club and the Symbols of Resilience program. Developing symbolic fluency, metaphor-based changework, and the kind of practical sensitivity that makes these tools intuitive rather than mechanical.

For explorers

Symbols of the Self — a self-paced journey through twelve archetypal patterns of inner integrity. And the Pattern Compass — a quick way to discover which pattern runs your show.
