Jamie Sprague
Clinical Hypnotherapist
Originally from New Brunswick, Jamie moved to British Columbia in 1992, eventually discovering Whistler. He used it as a home base to travel the world while sharing his passion of teaching Scuba diving. An accident in Australia drew Jamie back to his psychology degree roots with the curiosity of how we could reach altered states of mind naturally. Upon returning in 2010, he immediately attended The Coastal Academy of Hypnotic Arts and Sciences to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist, while also diving deep into the world of yoga for the next 7 years.
Jamie has been privately practicing at home for 12 years, guiding hundreds of local clients through releasing blockages, instilling self-confidence, and creating awareness and flexibility of mind. He has now chosen to expand his Clinical Hypnotherapy practice to join the amazing team at Whistler Wellness, offering 3 private sessions on Sundays.
Typically, your first session is basically an introduction to hypnosis; sort of a training session. You get to know each other, express what you wish to accomplish, and then he will guide you into a deep state of relaxation. Once you are there, he suggests positive affirmations to your subconscious. The entire session takes about two hours. Successive sessions could entail suggestive dictation, parts therapy, cording, regression, or perhaps Advanced Spiritual hypnosis. Typically, two to five sessions are required, depending on the nature of the issue.
Floating through the mountains on two wheels or a board, playing on or in the water, hiking the valley trails, or globetrotting with his wife and best friend of 20 years are his favourite pastimes.
Please note: Jamie is not a Registered Clinical/Therapeutic Counsellor or Registered Psychologist so his hypnotherapy services are not covered by extended health insurance plans.
