Pierre DeBar Massage, Hypnotherapy & Breathwork

Background

Thank you for visiting my profile page on The Rub Hub. I consider myself a "Wholistic Body Coach".  I can help facilitate change on the physical, emotional, mental and energetic level.  However, it requires a partnership between myself and the client. I can only do so much, however, when combined with the "will" to change by the client, amazing healing can happen. My hope is that you will leave a treatment with me feeling aligned, relaxed, energetically charged, focused, and inspired about your own healing and your own life.

I am a graduate and was more recently a faculty member at the Chicago School of Massage Therapy/Cortiva Institute - Chicago. I have lectured on kinesiology, hypnosis, breathwork, and therapeutic/clincal bodywork at various conferences around the country. Additionally I have worked with the University of Wisconsin and Northwestern University Athletic Departments, as well as the Sports Medicine Department of the Aspen Club & Spa in Aspen, CO. Have had my own personal practice for over 5 years with a partnership at Accelerated Rehab clinic in Old Town.

In my private practice, I specialize in working with semi pro/pro athletes, chronic pain clients, injury/surgery recovery, and clinical cases using relaxation, deep tissue, therapeutic, myofascial, stretching, sports massage and hypnotherapy. My expertise and use of Conscious Connected Breathing facilitates a profound shift in your physical, emotional, mental and conscious body. Please come and enjoy an advanced bodywork, breathwork or hypnosis session with me and see how I can improve your health and well being!

Conscious Connected Breathing

Using only your own breath you can access a profound state of being. This techinique, founded by Leonard Orr, utilizes continuous inhales to exhales in a relaxed and aware state to energize your body. Not only will you detox your physical body, but also your emotional, mental and conscious bodies. You become aware of your negative thought patterns that limit you from achieving your goals. This technique will transform your life. If you are feeling "stuck" with any part of your life: relationship, job, health, motivation, direction, focus, emotions...then this technique is for you.

Hypnotherapy

This treatment utilizes focused goals, deep breathing, and hypnosis to identify and overcome unhealthy modes of thinking, dealing with emotional issues, improving performance, and banishing bad habits. It can be helpful to overcome anxiety or depression, improve your performance professionally, personally, or athletically, lose weight or conquer an addiction. Hypnotherapy can help you make the changes you want!
