Free 15 Minute Call

You're ready to make changes but confused about your options in Dayton. Therapy sounds clinical, coaching feels too business-focused, and hypnosis seems mysterious. You need to understand which approach actually fits your situation.

Therapy digs into your past to understand patterns and heal old wounds. Coaching focuses on your future goals and creates action plans to get there. Hypnosis works with your subconscious mind to reprogram the automatic patterns that connect your past experiences to your future choices. Each approach serves different needs.

Therapy typically runs $100-200 per session and can take months or years. Life coaching ranges from $75-300 per session with faster results in weeks or months. Hypnosis sessions cost $100-250 and often show changes in 3-6 sessions. Your timeline and budget matter, but so does what feels right for your personality.

Start by asking yourself what you want most. If you need to process trauma or depression, therapy first. If you want to reach specific goals and need accountability, coaching works well. If you feel stuck in automatic patterns despite knowing what to do, hypnosis can break those cycles. Shine Remote Wellness combines all three approaches because many people benefit from mixing methods based on what they need right now.

Once you pick the right fit, you'll have clarity on your next steps. You'll spend less time wondering what to try and more time actually making the changes you want in your life.

What people in Dayton say

★★★★★

"Jimi is an amazing healer, teacher, coach, clairvoyant and hypnotherapist. I have had many experiences with others who do this work, or one or more of these disciplines, and Jimi is by far among the best! He is caring and compassionate with his clients, zeroing in on where each is coming from and where they would like to go or need to go for better balance, less stress and more joy and peace in life. With Jimi's services and teaching, I am finally beginning to make the necessary shifts in my limiting beliefs, attitudes and thinking, getting stronger in mind, body and Spirit. Jimi helps by not sugar coating reality, but giving me a wake-up call as to what hasn't worked in the past, and why, and what I can do to fix it going forward. Do yourself a favor and book a session with Jimi. It can change your life for the better."

"The first time I went to see Jimi was for hypnosis. I was so impressed during the intake interview with how well Jimi was able to tune into my lineage, ancestors and read what was going on, that I decided to have a healing session with him. The healings I received were very powerful and I was able to release a lot of what was weighing me down. I love how Jimi integrates the different modalities he knows to provide a unique and customized healing experience for what you need at the time. Thanks for bringing your light and service Jimi and keep up the great work! You are an inspiration and the world needs more healers like you."

Other things people in Dayton ask

why do I keep making the same mistakes

Surface-level changes don't rewire deep subconscious patterns. Hypnotherapy can access and redirect the neurological pathways that keep you stuck. One session often breaks patterns that talk therapy takes months to address.

why do my relationships always fail the same way

Relationship patterns usually stem from subconscious programming about love and worth. Hypnotherapy can identify and clear these patterns while coaching helps you practice new behaviors. Breaking the cycle takes both inner work and practical relationship skills.

career change at 45 too late

Career changes at any age are common and often more successful with middleage career moves because you know what you don't want. A psychic reading can show your natural path while coaching gives you practical steps to transition without destroying your financial security.

psychic reading vs life coach

Psychic readings show you what's coming and what's blocking you spiritually. Life coaching gives you practical steps to change your current situation. If you need clarity on your path, start with a reading. If you know your goal but can't reach it, coaching works better.

how to choose a life coach

Look for coaches with specific training, not just life experience. Ask about their process and what results their clients typically see. Good coaches give you tools and hold you accountable, not just cheerleading. A discovery call should feel focused, not like a sales pitch.
