Current Office console
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
I do electronic hypnosis which makes extensive use of technology. I achieve results by blending my live voice and my recorded voice with special music. The client's response is measured electronically and I use that information to instantly see what works and what does not. This eliminates trial-and-error and allows a client to make progress rapidly. This is the current main console at my office. -
High Speed Tascam CD Burner
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
I give away free self-hypnotism recordings at all of my Free Clinics. I compose and mix the Master Recordings on my office console but make the distribution copies on this high speed Tascam CD Duplicator. It makes four copies of a Master disc at 16x, which is rapid for a CD burner. As an example, the CD-R drive in your personal computer probably can read a disc at 54x. However, the burn speed is probably 1x. -
Client Recliner
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
This is the trance chair in which clients will be seated. The chair is a full robot. It reclines and sits up automatically on internal motors. If a client is in pain or handicapped, the chair will stand the client upright at the end of the session. The chair also has vibration capacity and two levels of internal radiant heat. -
Old Technology Console

Over the years my equipment has changed many times. Typically, there is a major upgrade to incorporate new technology about once each year. This is a view of the 1999 main console when I was still using audio tape technology. If you look carefully you can see one of my cats, Freya, dozing in the room. She is sure the room belongs to her. -
Home Office with Ramp
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
Although I do it for my own convenience, working from a home office is a tradition among both hypnotists and clergy. This is what my home looks like. The building is completely accessible with an exterior ramp, an interior stair lift and a handicapped bathroom. -
Pathway Oratory
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
As you walk up my driveway you will come to a small meditation area in a circle of stones beneath a Maple tree. A display like this was a custom in the Celtic church during the early years of Christianity. The stone is engraved with an old English Blessing "Plenty and Grace Be to this Place." Not shown in this photo is a copper mobile that hangs from the tree. -
Portable System Console
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
The work I do at my hospital and free clinics requires a portable version of my electronic gear. This is a photo of the console I use when "on the road." -
Portable System Tower
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
The work I do at my hospital and free clinics requires a portable version of my electronic gear. This is a tower of headphone amplifiers that I use when "on the road." It allows every person in a 25 person circle to listen to the hypnotism through headphones. Devices like this permit every set of headphones to be at full volume and fidelity with no loss of signal. -
Stair Lift to Office
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
My home office is fully accessible to the handicapped or infirm. This is the interior stair lift that allows one to go upstairs to my consultation room if one cannot handle the actual steps. We have a wheelchair that can greet you at the top of the stairs to take you into my office. I have been trained in transferring people to and from the stair lift, and we have a gait belt if that is needed. The stair lift has a weight maximum of 400 pounds. -
Celtic Throne
(Click on the photo to see it full size.)
My current office was created by a designer. I was surprised when the design included a museum reproduction of a celtic throne made from carved mahogany. However, once it was in place I could see why it was chosen. It unites the different woods used in the office furniture, adds a curved line and a touch of whimsy to the room, and does reflect my love of Renaissance Faires and the honorable values of a past age. It also provides a fun place for someone to sit if my client wishes a third party to be present during a session.
