Calibrated State

We work with what happens before you have time to think about it.

Individual hypnosis with Kelly May, helping athletes and leaders work on automatic responses that interfere with performance or follow them home afterward.

Why Hypnosis

Understanding a response doesn’t always change it.

A player knows the correction but keeps second-guessing himself. A leader has made a decision and still spends the evening going over it.

Hypnosis uses focused attention and suggestions developed around what someone wants to change. We work toward a different response in the situations where the familiar one keeps taking over.

This work can complement mental performance coaching and sport psychology, alongside other professional support.

Leaders

When the decision is made, but you’re still thinking about it.

You may handle a difficult conversation well and spend the evening replaying it. Or find yourself holding back something you intended to say.

Individual hypnosis offers a way to work on the responses that keep repeating, with sessions shaped around what you want to change.

For leaders

Athletes

More attention for the play you’re in.

A mistake shouldn’t have to occupy the next few plays. Yet knowing you need to move on doesn’t always make it easy.

We work on the responses that can leave you hesitating or second-guessing, with the aim of helping you make fuller use of your preparation.

For athletes

Meet Kelly May

Founder, Calibrated State · Certified Consulting Hypnotist

For more than three decades, I’ve worked alongside CEOs and senior executives. That experience shapes my understanding of the responsibility people take home with them, even when they appear to be handling everything well.

In my hypnosis practice, I begin with the person and what they want to change. We look at what’s happening in their life and develop the sessions around their experience.

About Kelly

“Working with Kelly and Calibrated State has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year.”

“She helped me sleep better, yes.
More importantly, she helped me understand what genuine rest and recovery can feel like again.”
