Testimonials

  • Amy D Ortiz in  Lutz, FL

    “After only a 90-minute session yesterday where we tackled my previous sexual traumas, my relationship with my mother, and my fibromyalgia pain I was able to sleep like a baby all night long without drugs to assist me. Today I have been able to turn down my pain level more than once using the techniques that she taught me. This was life-changing and I recommend it for anyone who has suffered from similar traumas.”

  • Bonnie K in St Petersburg, FL

    “A few years ago I started dabbling in vaping and within months I found myself a full time vape smoker. I had tried to quit several times over the past year with no success. A friend referred me to Traci at Wings Hypnosis. Traci was fantastic. Warm, friendly, professional, funny and made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. She was super down to earth and very passionate about her work.  Traci was very patient and answered all of my questions. She helped me uncover the real reasons why I smoked which I had never understood about myself before. I am super excited and very grateful to Traci as I am confident that I will never pick up a tobacco product again.  I highly recommend Traci at Wings Hypnosis!”

  • Coleen Fisher

    “ Traci Was fabulous! Wonderfully personable, compassionate, and committed to my success. Thank you, Traci! “

  • Jerid in St Petersburg, FL

    “Traci has done more for me in 6-8 hours worth of hypnotherapy sessions than years of traditional therapy and medication has ever done. She put things in terms that made it possible for me to see my problems and deal with them instead of just talking me in circles and getting nowhere. She has an actual interest in seeing you get better and do better for yourself.”

  • Gerald in Sarasota FL

    “​I came to see Traci to help with anxious feelings and self-image issues. She was able to hypnotize me and help me see things differently. I had several "Ah Ha!" moments while in hypnosis. She helped remove several self-limiting beliefs. I'm more relaxed these days and have seen my career advance more quickly than in the past. I am very grateful.”

  • Dave E in Lakewood, OH

    “I had a problem getting motivated for work after I decided to change careers…doubt in not only my abilities but serious doubt in myself! Something had to be done! When my friend Traci Kanaan said she would be in town, I begged her for a session! She took time out of her personal schedule to see me! We spoke for a while just a conversation amongst friends! I feel so relaxed talking to her. Since my time with her I can honestly say I am a different person…my self doubt is gone and I a much more confident individual in my business and personal lives! I highly suggest taking a moment to speak with Traci…all it takes is a conversation and your life…no matter your situation will definitely improve!”

  • Sam in Rolla, MO

    “I came to Traci red faced and embarrassed. She made me feel very comfortable, welcomed and most importantly she did not talk down to me. After a few short sessions I feel much more accepting of who I am.  Never have I been so open and yet so accepted.  That in itself is amazing.”

  • A.S. in St Petersburg, FL

    “I've done hypnosis before but Traci's session was a class above. She was very detailed and did all the preparation thoroughly. She had a great manner and made it comfortable and the hour and 15m flew by. 

    It was the most effective sessions I've had and I will see her again if there are other areas I think she can help. I recommend highly.

    Thanks again for the successful session. “

  • Travis in Tampa, FL

    “I loved my experience with Traci at Wings! I wasn't sure if hypnosis would work on me, but I found out it does right away! Traci was a complete professional and I was soon in a peaceful hypnotic state. This is no casino show hypnotism, she's the real deal!!  I've tried medication and counseling for years with varying results, but after one session with Traci, I felt more at peace with myself than I ever had before.  I wanted to try hypnosis as a medication alternative for years. When I saw Traci's qualifications, I knew I wanted to give her a try. I'm SO glad I did!”

  • Gina in Ellenton, FL

    “Traci is a phenomenal, learned, kind, intuitive and competent counselor, and her innate talent for wisely listening and then helping people through stress cannot be matched. Trust her, hire her, and watch your life change for the better.  No other counselor, doctor, or friend has been able to help as Traci did- her ability to quickly identify and solve issues is nothing short of miraculous.  The comfort of healing went beyond my expectations- fear not, take a leap, and you will land gently in the arms of a compassionate and competent woman who will guide you toward hope with her incandescent spirit, and a sincere concern to help you heal all issues.”

  • James in Akron, OH

    “Wonderful experience. I had my doubts about hypnosis, but was surprised at the outcome.  I felt better and my listlessness and mindset were improved and have made progress on my weight loss goals.  I came to Wings looking for a different way to motivate myself towards some lifestyle changes brought on by my disability.  Traci gave me some tailored suggestions to help me find the motivation from within. Instead of being cajoled by others, I have gotten back to more of my "Old Self" that was missing since my injuries. I have also made progress on my weight loss goals.”

  • Rosan in Neptune Beach, FL

    “My experience with Wings Hypnosis was everything I hoped it would be. I got psychologically stuck in a situation where I had to move homes but I was paralyzed and could not make the decision. After a session with Wings, moving seemed like the logical, easy thing to do. I'd been working with my therapist for ages on this problem and it didn't seem to get any easier. After the hypnosis session, it wasn't a problem anymore!

    Whatever your problem, Wings can surely help you.”

  • Jean in Largo, FL

    “I have attended a few classes/workshops that Traci put on at Wings Hypnosis. They were extremely informative & presented in simple language that made the information easier to incorporate into my day to day life. Keeping a positive attitude, by the means Traci suggested, have been a lifesaver for me through this stressful social distancing.”

  • D C P

    “Thank you for helping lead me to where my heart and joy has been blocked for so long and realizing I can have everything I've always wanted.  I finally stopped depending on others for what I wanted and it's finally happening.  I've been pushing all the love I have inside of me to the wrong people and I would consistently get disappointed with when all along it's been with the ones who I don't share the same vibrational energy with even though it was family.  I will find the right people to accept my love.  I finally let go of my past and the universe has been sending me messages and new opportunities. You're an earth angel.  Namaste. “

  • Denise in St Petersburg

    ​”My time with wings was exceptional. I love it when I find a person who is passionate about her career of helping others; she's a great mentor. I wanted to be a better version of myself, so I could reach my optimum best. Traci is different than most. She takes a soothing, no nonsense approach to situations with a great deal of professionalism and laughter to ease the stress.  She was highly recommended by a friend and she did not disappoint.   Previous professionals left me empty and searching for direction.  Traci has a clear direction of where her client needs to go as they sit down.”

  • DB in St Petersburg, FL

    “It was like metamucil for my soul- I really got rid of so much crap . Can't wait for my next session - you're the best”

  • GB in St Petersburg, FL

    “Traci you're a godsend you work wonders thank you.”

  • Dave

    “The humor approach used by Traci was quite fun!  I also appreciated the use of EFT and waking hypnosis to help eliminate resistance.  It was a fun experience and I feel better having gone through it.”

  • Melissa from Ohio

    “I visited Traci because I admired the work she is doing and I felt like I was in a dark place.  After sharing some experiences I had in life, Traci was able to make connections of a common pattern of behavior that I was unable to see.  She made me aware of all my negative self talk and helped me begin to change that internal dialogue.  The authenticity, the connection, the humor...Traci made me feel totally at peace and accepted and created this safe space with amazing energy.”

  • Michael Fitzsimmons

    “​Smart, down to earth. Listens to your needs and concerns.”

  • Rosan Larizza

    “Wonderful, skilled hypnotists who change their clients' lives for the better!”

  • Ashley Lynn Caputo

    “Amazing center devoted to hypnosis/Hypnotherapy with fun workshops and great people!”

  • MB G

    “Great results! I wanted to no longer be a slave to nicotine addiction, Doug solved that for me in one sitting! Either Traci or Doug are great, caring individuals ready with the skills to assist you in reaching your goals, too. They offer classes in self hypnosis, among other things, they will provide recordings of  your session, over all extraordinary services for way more than quitting smoking. Update! 1 year later and still smoke free!”

  • Angela Meier

    “ Perfect timing to have been enlightened by Wings Hypnosis. Traci is absolutely magical.  She allowed me to voice personal issues which I have not been able to share with others.  She helped me see that some of the roles I have been made to play are not necessarily in my nature.  Instead of running away from those roles, she has helped me to better handle the difficulties which come with them. Since the "Come Alive and Thrive" total trance-formation session I have been regularly using the tools she gave me and have been stronger than ever when in the business mode. In other modes, I am finding ways to release which brings much more relief and reduced tension.  I feel myself, my true me, being restored. Most days and some nights I go through the trance session in my head and continue to clear out more troubles.

    The one thing I have not figured out is why ever since my session, I have had the Wizard of Oz songs playing in my head as I traverse through work days.  Got caught a couple times humming "If I only had a brain." when dealing with a co-worker.  I claimed happy song but could not help but laugh at the irony of the moment.  I am finding references to the Wizard of Oz everywhere.

    Next session topic to explore.  :)  Thank you for your true direction, Traci. Be well. “

  • Gina Bar-El

    Traci is a phenomenal, learned, kind, intuitive and competent counselor, and her innate talent for wisely listening and then helping people through stress cannot be matched. Trust her, hire her, and watch your life change for the better. No other counselor, doctor, or friend has been able to help as Traci did- her ability to quickly identify and solve issues is nothing short of miraculous.

    Although at first skeptical and a bit afraid of hypnosis, I now realize that in the hands of a competent professional it can be an invaluable resource for healing.

    The comfort of healing went beyond my expectations- fear not, take a leap, and you will land gently in the arms of a compassionate and competent woman who will guide you toward hope with her incandescent spirit, and a sincere concern to help you heal all issues.

    Thank you for everything, and for sending me forward as a better person.

  • Denise

    Traci has really helped me fix areas of my life in just one session, and these were areas that have affected me for decades. Traci has a unique way of quickly uncovering the root problem often using humor. Traci has a special gift of what she does. I was reluctant to use hypnosis at first, however, after working with Traci, it's not the typical practice you think of when you hear hypnosis. In my experience, Traci somehow makes the connection of the root cause which comes from the subconscious. I have even tried counseling for a few years which was an ongoing waste of time with no solutions just making me feel worse by reliving the past..You will find immediate results with Traci in just one session. I often time joke that going to Traci is like Christmas and asking for what I want changed, I get in a session.. Traci is very professional and intelligent. She continues to develop her skill with varying workshops. Your session with Traci will be a safe, pleasant experience. I wish you all success in finding the best version of yourself wirh Traci. Love and blessings ❤

My Specialties

  • Hilarity & Hypnosis

    By the time my clients find me, they’ve already had years of therapy that “kind of worked,” or didn’t work at all. They are tired of reliving their trauma by telling yet another “mental health professional” their tragic story. I spent 18 years as a working comedian, turning my Boo Hoos into Bwahahas for thousands of people. Laughter truly is the best medicine, yet no one prescribes it! WTF? I apply the same comedy writing techniques I used to tell my story, to help you re-experience yours. If you are laughing about the horrific shit that happened to you, it can no longer trigger and disempower you. It’s time to make your past…your bitch!

  • Erotic / Sexual Hypnotherapy

    If you're not 100% where you want to be sexually, Erotic Hypnosis and Hypnotherapycould be the answer. Erotic Hypnosis is using hypnotic suggestions to achieve a particular sexual objective. Erotic Hypnotherapy is using hypnotherapy modalities to make peace with sexual traumas and issues. My services can range anywhere from enhancing your sex life, kinks, and fetishes to curbing your sexual compulsions, helping men and women “swallow,” erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, religious guilt, shame, cheating behaviors, porn addiction, rape, evil ex-spouses, and sex trafficking.

  • Swinging Lifestyle & BDSM Consulting

    “The Lifestyle” is what swingers and sexually adventurous adults call the collection of activities they participate in. Through my travels as an entertainer, I have 14+ years of experience with The Lifestyle and BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism), and I currently live in a nudist community with many “sexually adventurous adults.” I really enjoy coaching happy singles and couples on how to spice things up in the bedroom while navigating the many facets of these complex yet exciting cultures. I’m also a great resource for those curious about “The Lifestyle,” but may not be ready to dip their toes in the swinging waters just yet.

  • Love Yourself: Building Self Confidence

    Learn to love yourself, even if you never have! This one is near and dear to my heart, as this is a part of my own healing journey. Overcoming feelings of low self-esteem, a lifetime of negative self-talk, and body dysmorphia are just some of the obstacles one has to face in order to build self-confidence. Learn to love your body AS IS. Learn to love your quirks and idiosyncrasies, and see all those things that make you different and unique as super powers. Conquer the critic within!

  • Letting Go Of Your Past

    You can’t move on to the next chapter if you keep re-reading the last! Letting go of the past is critical if you wish to move forward. I teach my clients numerous techniques on how to reframe the past so it becomes empowering instead of disempowering. I also teach several techniques for living in the present while planning for a new future. Many people don’t realize the thoughts and traumas get buried inside their body and create illness and auto-immune disorders. Changing your thoughts can change your life!

  • Grief and Loss

    I lost my father to heart and kidney failure in 2006. I lost my mother to dementia and diabetes in 2017 when I was halfway through my hypnotherapy studies. In one hypnotherapy session, I was able to come to terms with their deaths. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me, and allowed me refocus my life and quickly get past their losses so I could start rebuilding my future. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a parent, a child, sibling, or friend, hypnosis is a remarkable way to make peace with their passing.
