Author Michelle A. Payton asks if you have issues "Are they true?" and "Do they get you want you want?" and introduces
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
How do Mind Over Matter (Hypnosis, EFT, NLP...), VisualizationTechniques and Empathy Serve You?
According to the American Institute of Stress, 70-90% of all Doctor's visits are connected to stress related issues in America. 93 percent of Americans say that perceptions, thoughts, and choices affect physical health (American Psychological Assoc. study 2005). Many studies and little time for you to read all the research, in short, negative emotional states deplete your body, lower your immune system, shorten your quality of and physical life.
So what keeps you vibrant and (physically and metaphorically) alive? One is compassion resulting in kindness to yourself and others. And when you are capable of giving it, you get it in return (Ex: Men live longer when married).
Michelle - an experiencer of a childhood household with alcohol, drug, mental and physical abuse, and divorce at an early age - learned to read situations quickly enough to manifest positive outcomes over the long-term. With these experiences, she became fascinated with how people’s minds worked and her eclectic (mainstream, metaphysical and holistic) studies over the past 25 years revolve around people being more comfortable with themselves and others (creating compassion and kindness within and projected outwardly) leading her to an overall theme of capturing “EMPATHY” for ourselves and others. Payton has reflected on this saying, "My physical responses to those (childhood) memories changed positively as I became clearer and kinder to myself and others. My congenital spinal experience (divinely -- scoliosis -- curvy) created an even deeper understanding of how our perceptions manipulate our realities."
Get to know Dr. Payton better by viewing her audio and video interviews, books, sessions and workshops offered on this site. Her Empathetic, Mind Over Matter and Visualization techniques encourage you (working with ages 7 to 80) to understand why you are inspired to move in particular directions, reframe ideas connecting to emotional duress (moving toward "zero" impact), interrupt patterns connected to fears and phobias to create calm, recognize anchors where we commit pain (so and so is a "pain in the neck," I feel a "weight on my shoulders"...), stimulate memories, make discoveries about yourself and replace patterns.
Michelle's specialties in Hypnosis (Doctorate with nearly 500 hours of formal hypnosis / hypnotherapy and related training) / Self-Hypnosis, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Acupressure Hypnosis, Anodyne Imagery, Past Life Regression, Personality Assessment using Astrology, Numerology, and Birth Order, Biblioprocessing (writing/reading including out loud), Graduate studies in English, Undergraduate degree in Communication Arts... all play a part in her mind over matter and visualization techniques to co-facilitate Self Empowerment (the ultimate relaxed state) and finding voice.

What clients are saying about Michelle Payton...
“Your guidance has been beneficial to my overall growth – both personally and professionally... and I thank you!”
- New Hampshire Client
No more fear of heights... This client called Dr. Payton and said, "I'm going zip lining this week, but I'm terrified of heights. I'm tired of looking like a @$#%y." I worked with him for under one hour then had him climb a four-story wall (seen in this pic) and mentored him from below (after they worked together on visualization/release). He is reaching for the horn at the fourth story of this wall. He contacted Dr. Payton afterwards (via email) and said, "Navitat (zip-lining over a 200 foot gorge area at 40 miles per hour) was a blast without fear, thank you so much." Each client is different, but remember that our perceptions are our realities.
- Asheville, NC Client
“You helped me find ways to relax, and trust my instincts. Thank you for all of your help. I highly recommend you."
- Columbus, OH Client
"It was the best thing I could have done for myself. My session with Michelle put me in control of my life."
- Columbus, OH Client
"There are times now when it is like my subconscious will see your face talking to it and telling it to let go of the hurt and not take it back and that I can really be free of all my past stuff once and for all. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"
- Indianapolis, IN Client
"I knew at once that Michelle was the perfect person for this because she has the right energy and trust I need in a hypnotherapist to open my subconscious to. Indeed she did not disappoint me. She was very skilled in providing the right guidance and help at the right time. Potentially damaging traumatic events in the past were transmuted and released, and negative experiences were turned into positive understanding. The session was powerful and insightful, but very pleasant and enjoyable at the same time, and I would not mind having another one to explore a bit deeper. Undoubtedly Michelle has many talents. While I cannot personally vouch for all of them, I can say that she has the professional, dedicated, and caring attitude that will make her excel in any fields. As a therapist/healer, I know a good therapist/healer when I see one."
- Gloria Chan, Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist, Asheville, NC
“Your books helped me see that I was going in the right direction when it came to my spirituality... I was in my second day of reading ‘Soulutions’ and a woman wanted to buy it right out of my hands...I really think you are on to something!”
- Houston, TX Retail Store Owner
"Michelle was so attuned to what I was needing and was so 'right on' with the modalities she initiated with me! She introduced me to a couple of new spiritual and emotionally centering practices that I was unaware of and can now practice on my own.
I highly recommend Michelle to anyone interested in a compassionate, diversified, joyful healing session! She's the best, and I'll be back for more!"
"Michelle is perceptive and kind. She helped me get clear on some issues I want to address and taught me simple techniques to interrupt unproductive thought patterns and calm myself so I can choose how I want to be."
- Gene Smith, Life & Wellness Coach, Asheville, NC
