“Hypnosis is a powerful tool and when things get hard, it's sometimes the tool that people need the most,'“ explained Rebecca O’Rourke, Kawartha Hypnosis owner. “When people feel challenged, we want to be able to be there more not less.”

There were four months of renovations to repair the damage from the flood before the opening could occur. New floors, walls, insulation and furniture were installed.

Despite the multiple obstacles faced, O’Rourke said there were plenty of positives that came along with the trials and tribulations.

“We were able to find ways to go digital, go online to be able to accept currency digitally as well and through the pandemic, we now have clients all over the world,” We've been grateful to have an international reach as a result of that challenge.”

O’Rourke’s business treats, weight loss, quitting smoking, stress management, fear management, confidence issues, sleeping problems and golf enhancement. She also performs stage hypnosis shows as a master hypnotist.
