Honored to Receive a Gold COVR Award for Best Guided Hypnosis Recording

I was honored and delighted to learn that MakeMyHypno.com, my web application that creates personalized hypnosis recordings on demand, received a Gold COVR Award this year for Best Guided Hypnosis Recording.

If you're not familiar with the COVR Awards, they are among the most respected awards in the spiritual and personal growth community, recognizing excellence in books, audio programs, podcasts, websites, and other products and services. Each year, creators, practitioners, and thought leaders from around the world submit their work for consideration.

While I am certainly proud of the award itself, what means the most to me is what it represents.

When I create hypnosis recordings, whether for private clients or through MakeMyHypno.com, my goal is never simply to make a pleasant recording. My goal is to help people create meaningful change. Sometimes that means sleeping better. Sometimes it means overcoming anxiety, building confidence, changing a habit, or finding the courage to move forward in life.

What excites me most about this recognition is that it validates a vision I've had for several years: making high-quality hypnosis more accessible to people who may never walk into my office. I wanted to create a way for people to receive a hypnosis recording designed specifically for their goals, preferences, and challenges without needing to schedule a private session.

One of the things I love most about hypnosis is that it works differently than many people expect. Hypnosis isn't about losing control or having someone else "fix" you. It is about learning to work with your own mind in a more effective way. It is about helping people access strengths, insights, and abilities that may already be present but not fully utilized.

As I looked at the marketplace, I realized that while there are thousands, perhaps millions, of guided meditations and hypnosis recordings available, there wasn't an easy, quick, reliable way to create a recording that was truly personalized for an individual. Nearly everything available is pre-recorded and designed for a broad audience. By definition, it isn't created around one person's unique needs, preferences, goals, and circumstances.

MakeMyHypno.com was built to fill that gap.

One customer recently shared:

"MakeMyHypno turned the few details I shared into something so personal it moved me to tears. It's become my go-to whenever I need a moment of peace."

— Holly Linden

Comments like that remind me why this work matters.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with clients facing a wide range of challenges. Again and again, I am reminded that people are often far more capable than they realize. Sometimes they simply need the right tools, guidance, and support to access those capabilities.

Receiving this award is encouraging because it suggests that this work is making a difference.

I am grateful to the COVR judges, the clients who have trusted me over the years, and the many people who have supported my work and development as a hypnotherapist. I am also grateful to the hypnosis profession itself, which continues to evolve and demonstrate the remarkable potential of the human mind.

Recognition is wonderful, but what continues to inspire me most is helping people create positive change in their lives.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of that journey.
