About Me

Hi! I’m Day. I’m a certified hypnotherapist and astrologer located in the SF Bay Area.

Hypnotherapy

I became interested in hypnotherapy after experiencing its benefits myself. In 2018, I was fed up with some of my habits. I had tried everything to change them. I hired specialists to help me. I watched every Youtube video on the topic. All to no effect. So, I booked a few sessions with a well-reviewed hypnotherapist, and it was like magic. Suddenly, I could do the things I had been struggling with more often, and more importantly, I felt a lot better about myself overall.

Then, the pandemic hit. With changes to my work, I wondered what I might do next. I was inspired by a desire to help others get closer to their authentic and best selves, heal from trauma, and explore their inner world to seek out a hypnotherapy training program. I landed at the Hypnotherapy Training Institute, and the rest is history. I have been a certified hypnotherapist with the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE) since 2021.

Astrology

I became interested in astrology shortly after moving to the Bay Area, nearly 15 years ago. I slowly started learning about it, becoming more and more fascinated with it over the years. Then, I had an amazing opportunity to write about astrology for a freelance writing gig. During that time, I significantly deepened and solidified my knowledge.

I was always interested in modern, personality-centered astrology versus Hellenistic deterministic astrology. I became interested in psychological astrology, specifically, after receiving a book by astrologer Liz Greene as a gift. I have been going down the path of psychological astrology since then. I am currently participating in a 2-year diploma program at the Mercury Internet School for Psychological Astrology to develop my knowledge of and connection to this modality.

Astrology, and psychological astrology in particular, has been incredibly helpful for me to deepen my understanding of myself and my patterns. It has helped me move through difficult moments in life with grace.

All the Rest

Hypnotherapy and psychological astrology both deal with the depths of the mind and personality, and work heavily with archetypes and the subconscious. These two modalities are incredibly complementary. Both have been a positive transformative force in my life, and I am excited to share them with others.

Besides hypnotherapy and astrology, I am a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. I am interested in yogic philosophy, mindfulness, meditation, and therapeutic/intentional psychedelics. I have been a state-certified peer-crisis counselor, and have training in core-strengths coaching.

I am queer, a part of the Jewish Renewal community, and have lived experience as a sex worker. I am well-versed in non-monogamy and polyamory, kink dynamics, and other less conventional relational configurations that may require special consideration. I welcome connection with people who share my identities, as well as those who do not. My overall goal is to help people connect to their authentic selves, find their inner reserves of strength and peace, overcome difficult moments, and reach their goals.

I look forward to connecting with you and working together through the modalities of hypnotherapy, astrology, and coaching!
