About Me

Certified Hypnotherapist

I’m Norman Lesperance, a certified hypnotherapist with a passion for helping people unlock their true potential and transform their lives. Through hypnotherapy, I help individuals overcome emotional blocks, break free from limiting beliefs and behaviors, and tap into their inner strength for personal growth. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where I guide clients to discover and address the root causes of their struggles, leading to deep, lasting change.

A Creative Foundation in Storytelling

A little bit more about me:

I have a background as a screenwriter, director, producer, and photographer, and I’ve spent years crafting stories across various media. I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool for both personal and collective healing. Whether through film or hypnosis, storytelling allows us to explore our inner worlds, understand our experiences, and reshape our perceptions.

Lessons From the Film Industry

From a practical standpoint, the film industry taught me to be a creative problem solver in order to deliver in the face of challenging circumstances. I also spent a lot of time working with a wide range of personalities. Learning to be a good listener allowed me to connect with people from many different backgrounds, and I draw on these experiences when helping clients discover the narratives that can transform their lives.

Creating Transformative Experiences Through Retreats and Travel

I continued to nurture these skills as a retreat leader for the travel company that I co-founded, Volare Retreats. Planning domestic and international trips for 12-20 people at a time required thoughtful consideration in the curation of venues, activities, and personalities to create a harmonious environment. I also gained a greater understanding of wellness through the use of other healing modalities, like yoga and meditation, to bring our clients the relaxation and peace they were seeking.

Storytelling Meets Hypnotherapy

The process of creating and exploring stories - whether fictional or personal - has always been a key part of my work. In hypnotherapy, I use techniques that encourage individuals to tell their own stories, rewrite limiting narratives, and uncover deeper truths about themselves. By combining storytelling with hypnosis, I help clients tap into their subconscious mind, where true healing and growth can occur.

Inspired by the Power of Stories

Whether I’m working with a client, capturing a photograph, or developing a script, I’m constantly inspired by the power of stories to heal, connect, and transform.
