About Me

Karie Svoboda is the Hypnotherapist here at MNHSA and Inner Healing Hypnosis.

She was born in the Brainerd Lakes area and has lived there most of her life. She lives in the country with her family and loves the peace and serenity it offers.

She has a lot of passion about hypnotherapy and has seen many clients find a peace that wasn’t there prior to hypnotherapy.

She is busy and most of the time there is a waitlist, but she would like to get everyone for hypnotherapy who is interested in it.

She plans to have trainings available to train and certify other professionals in the healing field to be hypnotherapists as well.

If you have a question, Karie can be quicker to get back to you via email and or text as unfortunately she is in session a lot and can’t always take a phone call. Please feel free to text or email with your questions, if it is a lot of questions, please feel free to set up an appointment. There has never been a client who has come in with questions and let without doing hypnotherapy. Karie is very thorough in how it works, what happens and what to expect. Most client’s book 2 sessions so that they can experience the first session without any expectations and usually they achieve what they are there for anyway and then the second session is used for another symptom.

Karie’s Email is karie@mnhsa.com and her phone number is 218-203-9363

Make An Appointment

Hello! I’m Karie

Pre-Licensed Mental Health Therapist, Hypnotist & Public Speaker

I have been a hypnotist for over 10 years. My training started in comedy stage hypnosis and then I realized that I could help others therapeutically and continued on with my education to become a mental health therapist.

I opened my Hypnosis Office here in Brainerd in 2011 and landed at the Franklin Arts Center as I worked towards my Bachelor’s in Psychology and then my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling is now working towards licensure.

Combining the Conscious Mind Work with the Subconscious Mind work using therapy and Hypnosis, client’s are able to decrease many symptoms that can feel defeating at times.

Many people have parts of their mind that get stuck and sometimes there is a little deeper work that is needed to help client’s to heal that part of their mind.

I have had many client’s come in with major life altering events that folks know have affected them, but once regression work and therapy is done, the client has a new found relief that is different then prior to hypnotherapy.

My office is located in Brainerd, but she does travel from time to time to other towns to do hypnotherapy and workshops for multiple clients if there is a need.

I am currently working at Acquire Mental Health as well.

If you would like to use insurance, please give Acquire Mental Health a call and ask to see me.

If you would like to pay via cash or HSA, you can email Karie at karie@mnhsa.com in order to do hypnosis sessions.

My Expertise

My Approach

Our thinking, experiences and biological makeup can and will cause us to have some things that we may feel could be different. Not better, not worse, but different.

A client who comes it to see me will find a cozy space with a lot of color as I like a lot of color to brighten up my days.

We all need to be aware of how we are treatig ourselves and I am guilty of sometimes forgetting this even.

It is work to keep our thinking positive in this world, but it is worth it if you can do your best!

Of course I recognize that not everyone is looking for a change in their thinking, but we all need to remember to be kind to ourselves!

I am not a perfect fit for everyone and if someone comes in and doesn’t feel that I am a good fit, I am happy to help them find someone else who may be as this isn’t about my journey, it is about yours!

With that being said, I am incredibly busy, so please be patient with me. 🙂

If you schedule a session, it is a pre-pay only and there are no refunds, so make sure that you show up. You will most likely have questions, so plan an hour and a half for the first session so we can get to know eachother. I also don’t do hypnosis on the first session, but I do a deep relaxation session unless you feel 100% comfortable with that. I always suggest 2 sessions as it is the best way to get to know me before we practice hypnotic work.

I look forward to working with you on your journey!

Sincerely,

Karie
