IFS-Focused Hypnotherapy: Connect with Your Inner Parts
A Guided Journey with Sound Healing

Join us for an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-inspired hypnotherapy session, led by licensed professional counselor and certified hypnotherapist Adina Silvestri, in collaboration with sound healer Katie Lemmert.

This gentle, guided journey invites you to connect with the “parts” of yourself that may be carrying stress, fear, or emotional burdens—all within a safe and calming container. Throughout the session, you'll be supported by the restorative tones of Himalayan singing bowls, chimes, and bells played live by Katie, helping you deepen into relaxation and self-awareness.

Through light trance, breathwork, and visualization, you’ll be guided inward to:

• Identify and meet a part of you that is asking for attention or care

• Approach that part with curiosity and compassion

• Begin to release protective energy that may be keeping you stuck

 No prior IFS or hypnotherapy experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Following the guided session, we’ll take time for an extended sound bath meditation, allowing space for the body and mind to absorb the energetic shifts and insights from the journey. This collaborative offering is designed to promote emotional healing, deep rest, and renewed inner connection.

Wear comfortable clothes and bring water to hydrate after. If you are attending in-person, everything you need will be provided for you (mats to lie on, blankets, and eye covers). If you are joining us virtually, we recommend using headphones for the best experience.

Events are offered both in-person in Richmond VA and virtually on Zoom. We have space for a limited number of people in person and plenty of spots online! If you would like to be in person and we appear sold out, please contact us.

About Adina

Dr. Adina Silvestri is a licensed professional counselor, certified hypnotherapist, author of Writing Through Grief and Loss: An IFS Journal for Healing, and founder of Life Cycles Counseling. With over a decade of experience in trauma recovery, addiction, and mind-body healing, she’s known for her rebellious, no-BS approach to therapy—helping people feel better, faster.

Adina weaves together science-backed modalities like Brainspotting, IFS, Hypnotherapy, and Ketamine-assisted therapy with creative, intuitive practices that honor the whole self. Her work isn’t about “fixing” — it’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

She leads immersive intensives, group healing experiences, and is the voice behind the Atheists in Recovery podcast. At the heart of it all is her belief that healing happens when we stop performing wellness and start getting honest with the parts of us we’ve silenced.

About Katie

In 2021, Katie was interested in expanding her personal breathwork practice and diving deeper into self-healing so she attended David Elliott's Healer Training at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York. The following year she went on to study at the Atma Buti® Sound & Vibrational School. She also traveled to New Mexico to take additional training hours for breathwork healing. She has completed her 200 YTT at The Yoga Dojo learning from Adrian McCavitt and Lauren Nottingham and she has also studied Meridian Yoga Therapy & Yin Yoga with Dr. Rose Erin Vaughan. Katie is passionate about all forms of healing and is an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (NADA 5-point protocol). Breathwork has been transformational for Katie and she loves sharing the practice with the community. She is always welcoming new students and finding fresh ways to engage with and share her skills with the Richmond community.
