About Your Practitioner

A Journey of Purpose

I came to clinical hypnotherapy through lived experience — the same passage many of my clients are navigating now. After 35 years building technology platforms serving millions of people, I discovered that the deepest transformation happens not in systems, but in the subconscious mind.

The name VRishi carries my philosophy: VR for the immersive technology that deepens the therapeutic experience, and Rishi for the ancient sages who understood that consciousness is the foundation of all healing.

My practice integrates the clinical rigor of HMI training with the Theory of Mind — understanding how the 88% subconscious governs behavior, and how hypnotherapy creates the bypass that logic alone cannot.

"The subconscious mind is not your enemy. It is your oldest protector — running patterns it learned before you had words for them. Our work is to update those patterns with compassion."
