Everyday we help people quit unhealthy habits, stop unwanted behaviors, improve low mood, and reduce anxiety & stress --- faster than they ever thought possible. It's painful to get caught in a cycle of guilt, shame and frustration after you've once again caved into to feeding your unwanted habit or behavior.
You find yourself feeling lost about how to stop and overcome it once and for all. You can hold deep values about self-love, self-respect and self-honesty, yet still find yourself in a vicious, frustrating cycle of "being good", and then punishing yourself for "being bad". This happened even though you vowed things would be different than your last episode.

To help you compassionately find and -- transform the subconscious root causes -- of why you keep mysteriously doing the stuff you know you shouldn't.
We believe you already hold the keys to getting your life back: in weeks, not years. With our unique, compassionate 5-PATH hypnosis approach, you make rapid progress - transforming the lifelong, subconscious root causes of your issue. As well as integrating new, healthy, empowering habits and positive perspectives.
Your specific reasons for not being able to lose weight, quit your behavior, addiction, reduce anxiety & stress, or let go of a painful past experience are as unique as you. So you won't find cookie-cutter solutions here! Your once manageable issue is now seriously disrupting your life. For years, or maybe even your entire life, you felt you could manage your issue and it's aftermath.
Hypnosis is a powerful state of focused awareness that can be used to uncover and dissolve the root cause of many issues people suffer from everyday. Hypnosis allows you to access all the healing resources inherent within the subconscious mind, promoting natural healing from within. Hypnosis is used to help people discover the subconscious reasons for their symptoms, behaviors, or habits.

Rena Barker is an outstanding human being and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to experience her professional, evidence-based, and well-rounded hypnotherapy practice. Rena has participated in numerous hypnotherapy trainings and also draws from her experiences studying and practicing Yoga, Psychotherapy, Eutaptics, and Nonviolent Communication to tailor individualized, goal-oriented programs for her clients. Hypnotherapy works as a subtle medicine, which I greatly appreciate. After a course of treatments with her I notice that I feel more resilient and resourceful under the same life stressors

I decided to use Hypnotherapy to help me make some difficult but necessary changes in my life. I studied up on the topic of Hypnotherapy and read reviews on local Hypnotherapists. Finding New Leaf Hypnosis Center and Rena was a stroke of luck. The changes that i wanted to make in my life began after my very first session. Now, six months after my last session, those changes are part of the foundation of who i am. Rena, thanks so very much!

Rena is amazing! My time with her has done wonders for me. I have greatly reduced the amount I smoke to almost nothing, I've been able to reduce my blood pressure meds as a result of that. I sleep better, I have less anxiety, have been able to set better boundaries and feel happier. My original notions about hypnotherapy were all based on Hollywood's portrayal, which is less than reputable and as someone educated in medicine, I can tell you this (or at least Rena's methods) are based solely under the umbrella of psychology and they are solid. She knows what your goals are & helps you set realistic

First and foremost, I feel so incredibly lucky to have come across Rena. She has completely transformed my life. Not only has her work made an imprint on my life but her genuineness and support has also spoken very loudly. She has been there for me, outside of just the sessions and for that I will forever be grateful. I wish I could express my gratitude more. I am so beyond grateful for this experience and will continue to carry this practice and relationship forward wherever I go. Thank you Rena. I admire you so much and I feel so very fortunate to have stumbled upon your work at the time that

Rena is so gentle and compassionate. I started working with her after experiencing high anxiety/panic/palpitations after moving to WA during the pandemic. She was so gentle and supportive. She helped me to be able to calm myself and remember that I am in control of my own reactions. I was also able to become more kind and gentle to myself. Rena is so kind and caring. I highly recommend seeing her to manage anxiety and self criticism.

I’ve started working with Rena in February, I went through a break up after 7 years of relationship I was depressed and couldn’t find myself. I had 5 sessions with her and after every session I became a different person healthier, happier, I stopped living in the past and I started finally finding myself.
Rena is amazing I’m so thankful that I got to work with her and changed my life . Instead of spending hundreds of dollars and hours on psychotherapy , Hypnosis helped me within 3months to get over my anxiety and procrastination.

I moved to a new state during the pandemic and lots of other changes triggered anxiety and pretty bad insomnia. I was already doing all the other things; exercise, eating right, bloodwork was great, and I was already seeing a therapist. I learned so much about myself during my sessions with Rena and I now have tools available to manage my anxiety during the day and deeply sleep at night. It takes work and there's still more to do but Rena really made me aware of a lot of beliefs/habits I was not previously aware of. Thank you Rena, for all your help!

1) What was the issue you came in for?
For a long time I have felt depressed, unmotivated, dealing with past trauma and everyday anxiety. All of that felt crippling on a day to day basis.
2) How was the issue affecting your life?
I would react the same as my parents. Having my own family I knew right away that I needed to change the dynamic
in the house and for the future of my grandchildren.
3) How good is now? What positive experiences, change, and result after the sessions?
It's been a couple of months since I have worked with Rena. I feel like a completely different person. The day

I had been struggling with poor eating habits my entire life, and had absolutely lost control in the past 2 years. Having tried and failed other options to get on a healthier track, I was feeling hopeless. After my first session with Rena, I had a complete change of mind. I had been skeptical about hypnosis and wasn't sure if I could by hypnotized- but I was amazed by the results after just one session! I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks and immediately craved and chose healthier options. I especially love how she teaches you self-hypnosis, so you can continue your transformation after sessions

I went to see Rena in search of some relief from anxiety and PTSD.

First off Rena is AMAZING. I came to her with a multitude of things I wanted to better myself for. Some I do not feel comfortable sharing online as they are too personal. Others are as simple (in my opinion) as nail biting, drinking more water and weight loss. I was really amazed at how much she was able to accomplish during each session, and also how quickly my conscience and sub conscience was able to make and keep the changes I was looking to make. It was truly incredible journey for me. And with the tools she gives you, I love that I am able to still better myself and be the best version of

Very good service. First time trying hypnotherapy, skeptical to say the least at first, but Rena was a professional, straight forward, and had a plan to help me overcome my anxiety and situational depression. You can tell she has a passion for her profession and does whatever it takes to put the client first. 5 stars, highly recommend for those that want to try something new

I met Rena at one of her stress workshops at a yoga studio. Afterwards I was intrigued and signed up for her free consultation. I was a little hesitant because I had no knowledge on Hypnosis, nervous and was a little skeptical. She asked me what brought me to cross the Gig Harbor bridge that day to see her. I told her for self love. After Only 5 sessions Rena was able to heal the parts of me that I had suppressed for over 10 years and was able to release deep barriers of mine I didn't even realize I had. Every session I left feeling revived, inspired, more alive than the last session. The

Rena did such a wonderful job guiding me through the healing process of past trauma and self-image issues. I have gone through counseling and self-help processes in the past, but I found this technique to be significantly more helpful in stopping my ineffective thought process in its tracks. Rena has played a huge role in launching me into becoming a healthier person with a broader and more positive outlook on life. Forever grateful! Highly recommended.
