Create the Life You Desire Through Mental Fitness
Decoding the Science Behind Mental Fitness
Mental fitness isn't something you stumble into—it's a conscious decision to take control of your mind’s narrative. It combines the ancient wisdom of the inner self with the modern science of neuroplasticity, flow state, and emotional regulation.This isn’t just about mindfulness—it’s about rewiring your patterns, reframing your past, and stepping into your potential with intentionality and support.
The Gentle Power of the Kokoro Method
Dr. Leanne S. Hawken, Ph.D., BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst®) described her experience in our program as gentle and effective. She said, “People may think this is a weird modality of healing, but it actually is very gentle and effective. I think sometimes talk therapy can actually damage people, and I don’t believe that hypnotherapy can do damage to people, which is amazing. This can only help, not hurt. As somebody who has thrown everything at my complex PTSD, I found hypnotherapy to be 10 times more gentle than EMDR therapy. In fact, I haven’t been back to EMDR therapy since getting my first hypnotherapy session from Pennie. I don’t want to go back. It was too harsh for me. EMDR was healing, and it worked, but it was like being run through the washing machine, whereas hypnotherapy is like having a gentle breeze go through you. There was closure at the end of the session, which is amazing.”
The reason for Leanne’s experience of finding our process gentle and effective is because of the 4 R’s Pattern. With this method, we are able to gently and safely guide clients through past experiences in ways that create a feeling of resolve afterward.
What Is Mental Fitness?
Think of mental fitness as a set of practices and inner tools that allow you to work with—not against—your mind. We guide you into a deeply focused, calm state, where your thoughts, memories, and emotions can be observed and reframed with clarity.
Imagine entering a serene inner landscape—a garden where the noise of the outside world fades, and your inner wisdom speaks clearly. This is the flow state we cultivate—a place of insight, growth, and deep emotional release.
With heightened awareness, your mind becomes a magnifying glass: you can finally see the “why” behind your habits and begin the process of realignment.
How We Work
We are committed to guiding you on a transformative journey using our Kokoro 4R’s Pattern and The Grace Method. Our mission is to help you discover the incredible potential that resides within you by nurturing a deep connection with your Inner Voice through our gentle and effective method of transformation.
Guiding Your Flow
We specialize in transitioning you from "fight-or-flight" mode, to a state of flow to lead you into the theta brain state for accelerated learning, problem-solving, and creative flow.
Cultivating Being and Transformation
Our mission extends beyond surface-level transformation. We help you rediscover child-like creation, cultivate new thought patterns, and embrace resilience and creativity through our methods.
Empowerment Through Meditation
Discover patterns of meditation that empower independent inspiration through your Inner Voice. Embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth with our supportive guidance.
Inspiring Greatness
It is our intention to inspire you to become your best self by exploring subconscious fears, unearthing hidden motivations, and support you as you aligned your subconscious beliefs with your deep longings of the life you desire to create.
A Supportive Community
Kokoro Hypnotherapy is a nurturing community where vulnerability is our superpower. Weekly we share our victories, our growth challenges, and our one next step as we persevere towards continuous improvement together.
Empowerment and Contribution
Our commitment to your growth doesn't end with personal transformation—it's about creating a ripple-effect of empowerment that ripples through the families of our community and beyond, to create a generational legacy as you work to lift others and make a difference with your life.
Our Sessions Are Created in the Following Pattern:
Our sessions allow you to create a new perspective on your past experience. We like to say it’s never too late to have a good childhood because of the transformational power of hypnotherapy.
The subconscious mind is so amazingly powerful and so often underestimated in its potential. If it is the source of our pain, it is also the source of our solution. It’s not hypnotherapy per se that creates the transformation. It is you. You are the magic. It’s your desire and your intention that create your transformation. We simply get to be privileged enough to guide you on this journey.
Week 1
The first week's session is all about assessing four different areas of your life: Physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Clients love this session because it allows you to create a connection with your Higher self. This pattern can also be used to assess other areas of your life.
Week 2
The second week guides you in a conversation with one part of yourself, symbolized by The Phoenix who burns down the old part to be reborn stronger and wiser. The possibilities are endless when it comes to parts of ourselves to explore.
Week 3
The intention of the third week is to guide you in a safe conversation to connect with your child self. The pattern of this session is not part of the Grace Method, but experienced first hand by Pennie Wilson, being guided intuitively during her personal meditation.
Week 4
The fourth week's pattern is called the bridge. In the mind, we travel back over time to experience an experience that originally caused us deep emotional pain. The intention of this session is to reframe those experiences into something that will support you to see from a new perspective.
Mental Fitness Process
Think of this as your mind gym—a structured approach to strengthening your mindset, emotional resilience, and inner clarity. This process is designed to upgrade your mental patterns and unlock the next level of who you're here to be. This applies to all formats of our sessions—whether you're training in a Group Session, having a private 1:1 session, or doing a guided session on
your own with a
Mental Fitness Problem Solving Mini Course or FUDDD.
Setting Your Intention
Every training session starts with clarity. What do you want to build? Confidence? Focus? Calm under pressure?
We begin by identifying your current mindset, where you're feeling stuck, and what kind of mental strength you want to develop. This becomes your personal goal map for the session.
Mindful Activation
Just like warming up your body before a workout, we use breathwork and grounding techniques to shift your nervous system out of stress mode.
This sets the stage for a high-performance mental state—calm, focused, and fully present.
Entering the Training Zone
Here, your brain drops into a powerful state (known as Theta)—a sweet spot where you're not overthinking, but not asleep either.
It’s where the mental “muscle-building” happens—free from distraction, judgment, or resistance
.
Your Inner Gym
You’ll visualize your Inner Gym—a safe, empowering mental space where transformation becomes natural.
This space allows your mind to shift from survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) into creative, responsive mode—where real growth happens.
Rewiring Thought Patterns
Inside this space, we train your brain to release outdated beliefs and emotional weight.
We challenge old habits, reframe limiting stories, and strengthen new pathways—just like doing mental “reps” to build new neural connections.
Core Strengthening
Now that we’ve cleared out the noise, we install new belief systems—ones aligned with the identity you're building.
These core belief upgrades act like your mental six-pack—resilient, powerful, and rooted in
who you really are.
Visualization Drills
You'll mentally rehearse the life you're choosing to live—seeing, feeling, and embodying your future self in full color.
This creates deep emotional resonance and helps your brain code those visions as reality.
Cooldown & Reset
Just like every good workout ends with a stretch and reset, we’ll bring you back to full awareness gently—feeling grounded, energized, and clearer than ever.
Optional reflection time allows you to track progress and lock in breakthroughs.
Daily Practice & Mental Conditioning
Between sessions, you’ll have tools and practices to keep training your mind—whether it’s mental journaling, breathwork, self-hypnosis, or micro-visualizations.
Like any form of fitness,
consistency is key.

Hypnosis vs. Mental Fitness Training
Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a state of deep focus—like a mental flow state—where your brain is open to learning and unlearning. Think of it as tuning out the noise so you can tune in to what matters. It’s calm, clear, and powerful.
Mental Fitness Training
Mental Fitness takes that state and applies it with purpose. It’s the structured use of that focused state to rewire thought patterns, level up habits, and shape your inner narrative. It’s like working with a mindset coach—but inside your own head.
