Sound & Hypnosis
with Hope Shay
Two of the most powerful tools for deep transformation — sound healing and clinical hypnotherapy — woven together in one sacred space. Your nervous system meets your subconscious. Real change begins.
Two Modalities.
One Transformation.
Sound healing brings the nervous system down. Brainwaves slow from beta into alpha, then theta — the same state hypnotherapy targets. When Hope begins her induction, your brain is already halfway there.
This isn’t two separate sessions happening at the same time. It’s one seamless experience — sound creating the neurological conditions that make hypnotherapy more effective, and hypnotherapy giving direction to the deep receptivity sound creates.
The result is a depth of change that neither modality achieves alone.
The Neuroscience
Meet
Hope Shay
Hope Shay is a certified hypnotherapist whose signature program, Exit the Loop of Self-Sabotage™, has helped dozens of clients break free from the patterns quietly keeping them stuck.
Hope Shay is a certified hypnotherapist (CHt) and somatic breathwork facilitator with over five years of experience helping people move out of the cycles that quietly keep them stuck — fear, self-doubt, life transitions, and the relentless loop of self-sabotage.
Her signature work, Exit the Loop of Self-Sabotage™, guides clients into the space below conscious awareness — where patterns are stored and where lasting change is made. Using hypnosis, somatic embodiment practices, and self-hypnosis tools clients can carry home, Hope doesn’t just offer a session. She offers a shift that keeps unfolding long after you leave.
Hope holds dual certifications through the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT) and the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), and completed a rigorous private mentorship of over 200 hours with renowned Chicago hypnotherapist Karen Hand — one of the most intimate and thorough forms of training available in the field.
She also teaches self-hypnosis workshops, equipping clients and students with embodiment practices that deepen self-love, build confidence, and strengthen their connection to their own inner wisdom.
At Saints and Angels, Hope partners with founder and shamanic sound healer Peter Canellis to combine the frequencies of sacred sound with the deep-access power of hypnosis — an experience unlike anything else available in Chicago.

How a Fusion Session
Actually Works
Arrive & Settle
You’re welcomed into the studio and given time to settle. Peter begins with gentle ambient sound to bring your nervous system down from the day.
Sound Opens
Crystal bowls, tuning forks, and frequencies guide your brainwaves into alpha and theta — the ideal state for deep hypnotic work.
Hope Guides
Once you’re deeply relaxed, Hope begins her hypnotic induction — working with your subconscious at a depth sound has already prepared.
Integration
Sound gently returns you to full awareness. You rest, breathe, and integrate before leaving — grounded, clear, and changed.
