In this episode of Living Hypnotically, Erika Flint sits down with Maria O’Rourke, a former biochemist and executive leader who left a decades-long career to follow her passion for hypnosis and healing.

Maria shares her personal journey of getting sober, realigning with her true self, and ultimately finding hypnosis—first as a tool for self-transformation and later as her new profession. Now a certified hypnotist, she helps clients overcome deep-seated emotional patterns, break free from limiting beliefs, and step into their most authentic, fulfilled selves.

✅ Why Maria left a 29-year career in corporate pharma to become a hypnotist 

✅ How past life regression led to her personal breakthrough 

✅ A powerful client story—how hypnosis helped a woman break unhealthy relationship cycles by experiencing true self-worth

✅ How subconscious beliefs shape identity and behavior—and how hypnosis can rewrite those patterns

✅ Why high-performing professionals are turning to hypnosis for stress relief, clarity, and confidence 

✅ How hypnosis works as a tool for both deep transformation and daily self-improvement 

✅ Maria’s unique approach to hypnosis, including astrology and past life work 

💬 “Hypnosis isn’t about being controlled—it’s about regaining control over your mind, your emotions, and your life.” – Maria O’Rourke
