Matthew TremblayHalifax life is full of ups and downs – one minute you’re enjoying a sunny walk along the harbor, the next you’re stressing over work, traffic, or that habit you’ve been trying to break for months. That’s where hypnotherapy comes in, and trust me, it’s not what you might expect.
Imagine sitting in a cozy, calm room, chatting with someone who actually listens, while your mind starts to untangle all those racing thoughts. I tried it a while back, and it felt a little like hitting the ‘refresh’ button on my brain.
Suddenly, stress didn’t feel so heavy. Old habits weren’t in control, and I could think clearly again.
Halifax has a handful of hypnotherapy clinics that make this kind of change approachable, even a little fun. Whether you want to kick anxiety, sleep better, or just feel lighter, these clinics are here to guide the way.
How much does hypnotherapy cost in Halifax?
Hypnotherapy prices in Halifax cost about $110 to $145 for a standard session, usually lasting an hour. If you’re signing up for something more focused – a quit-smoking program, or help with chronic anxiety – expect to pay a bit more, around $200-$400 for each session.
Some places offer bundles. If you book a few sessions together, the average cost can drop by roughly 10-15 percent.
The exact pricing isn’t the same everywhere. It depends on who you see, the approach they use, and how long the sessions run.
How We Chose the Best Hypnotherapy Clinics in Halifax
1. Olive Tree Healing Hypnosis
Address: 11 Bloom Lane, Bedford, Nova Scotia
Website: https://olivetreehealinghypnosis.com
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/olive.tree.healing.hypnosis

Business Hours: Thursday-Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Sunday-Wednesday: Closed
I’d been hearing bits about hypnosis for some time, so when a friend mentioned Olive Tree Healing Hypnosis here in Bedford, I thought I might as well check it out. When you step inside, it’s surprisingly relaxed – soft lighting, warm tones, and that kind of quiet you don’t usually get in town.
Mai, who runs the sessions, makes the experience easy to approach. She takes her time with you – answering questions, walking you through what to expect, and even offering a cup of tea while you settle in.
Beyond the personal touch, Olive Tree brings in different approaches, from Quantum Healing Hypnosis to Past Life Regression. Whether you prefer the focus of a private session or the shared energy of a group, there are options to suit different comfort levels.
Results can vary from person to person, and because each session is scheduled with care, their cancellation policy is quite firm, especially for last-minute changes.
Excellent hypnotherapist
“Mai is an excellent hypnotherapist who is skilled, caring, and compassionate. She answers any questions you might have after a session and is available afterwards if you want more clarification. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her.”
– Jeanette Auger, Google Reviews
A rewarding experience
“My session with Mai was very relaxed and calm. I would recommend that anyone give this gift of healing and clarity to yourself. It has been a positive experience to introduce myself to Mai and to learn from her expertise! Overall, a very positive, rewarding experience.”

2. Halifax Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming
Website: https://www.halifaxhypnosis.ca/Home_Page.html
Contact Number: +1902 225 6527
Business Hours: Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
At Halifax Hypnosis, Mike Lalonde helps clients work through a wide range of personal and emotional challenges. He’s trained in NLP, EFT, and medical hypnosis, giving him several approaches to draw from, depending on what each client needs.
He works with a wide range of concerns, from quitting smoking and managing weight to addressing long-standing fears and habits.
We like how calm and easygoing the sessions are. They move at the client’s own pace, whether that means discussing concerns, working on a particular habit, or just settling in comfortably.
On the flip side, scheduling can be a challenge. Weekend sessions aren’t offered, so it helps to plan ahead if your weekdays are full.
3. Luminary Wellness (Lana Grant)
Address: Cow Bay
Contact Number: +1902 489 0123
Website: https://luminarywellness.ca
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LuminaryWellness.ca/
Business Hours: Monday-Thursday: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Friday: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Saturday: unspecified
Sunday: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Luminary Wellness in Dartmouth has a setting that feels welcoming – quiet, warm, and far less clinical than many therapy spaces. The focus is on Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and similar programs designed to help clients break old habits in a structured way.
We like their 4-Week Transformation Program, which combines an RTT session with weekly follow-ups, a personalized recording, and group support. The setup is very clear, and the initial discovery call helps make it easier for newcomers to get started.
Something we noticed is how the program focuses on steady, guided change rather than quick fixes. While this approach is really effective, it comes with a trade-off: the sessions run over several weeks. This makes a better fit for people who are able to commit the time and see it through to the end.
Treatment has been amazing
“All in all this treatment has been amazing and I feel like it has forever changed me. Lana is so attentive to detail during the whole 21 days and she really made me feel loved and supported.”
- Diane R, Website Review
Lana is intelligent and unwaveringly caring
“Nothing has profoundly affected me more than the RTT Therapy and Accountability sessions I experienced with Lana. Lana is intelligent, unwaveringly caring, deeply intuitive, and so much more.”

4. Monique Glover Wellness
Address: 5209 St Margarets Bay Road, Suite 206
Website: https://moniqueglover.com
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moniquegloverhypnotherapy
You’ve got to hear about Monique Glover – my officemate went to her, and she came out raving about the experience.
Monique is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Regression Therapist who really gets to the root of emotional issues. It’s not just talking; she helps you uncover patterns and work through them in a meaningful way.
She does sessions online or in person at her St. Margaret’s Bay location, and she tailors everything to the person in front of her. My friend said the mix of hypnotherapy and emotional work made the sessions feel personal and really effective.
Since their business hours and phone numbers aren’t publicly available, you’ll need to reach out online to book a session.
Very talented therapist
“I have encountered Monique three times so far while working with her in an online regression therapy setting. She turned out to be a very talented therapist, who has been welcoming and warm, embracing me with patience and deep listening skills. She guided me through my sessions with expertise, wisdom, and grace. I loved her gentle voice. Thanks to her, I was able to experience a breakthrough in dealing with my emotions. I’m deeply grateful for all her help.”
– Kataryzna Tychanska, Google Reviews
Profound and lasting impact on my confidence and emotional freedom
“I’ve had two online hypnotherapy sessions with Monique so far, and they have made a profound and lasting impact on my confidence and emotional freedom. Monique has a very pleasant personality, sharp observational skills, and she is very knowledgeable and able to offer useful resources to use outside of the sessions. She is clearly very good at what she does and this makes it very comfortable to work with her on personal issues and to get the most out of the sessions.
I’m very grateful not just because of the improvements that I’ve noticed, but because I think it’s rare to find this kind of help to resolve issues that originate from so deep within.”

5. Hypnosis in the City- Margot Shelew
Website: https://hypnosisinthecity.ca
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069990846121
Contact Details: +1902 499 7815
Business Hours: Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Margot Shelew runs Hypnosis in the City. She has a relaxed and approachable style that makes clients feel comfortable right from the start of their session.
Adding to that comfort is the space itself – straightforward but warm – creating an easy, welcoming atmosphere.
What we like about her sessions is that she doesn’t rush. She takes her time explaining what she’s doing, so you never feel lost or overwhelmed. That steady pace makes it easier to relax and actually take in the process.
Her services cover stress management, smoking cessation, weight concerns, and confidence building. She also incorporates techniques from neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and yoga for a more well-rounded experience.
However, Margot books up quickly. So it’s a good idea to schedule your session well in advance. That said, once you do secure an appointment, the personalized attention and guidance make it well worth the planning.
Margot changed the way I thought about smoking
“Margot changed the way I thought about smoking. I went from a smoker to a fresh air breather, who no longer needs cigarettes to manage my day. For the skeptics out there, hypnosis changes minds and actions. You won’t regret it.”
- Jodi Lazare, Website Review
If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would have happened
“Facing an exam for the Class 03 license was hard for me. I failed it the first time. I found Margot and told her my story about not focusing and poor memory retention for written tests. When I visited Margot, she clarified everything and gave me what I needed to succeed. I followed the steps she provided and the suggestions given through hypnosis. I went in and wrote it again and passed! If it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would have happened. I can’t thank you enough.”
