We were lucky to catch up with Meital Baroz recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Meital , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
Just as it is commonly said, upon reflection, I realize that my life’s purpose has always been present. When I sum up the experiences along the way, I can see and feel how they led me to becoming a hypnotherapist.
Growing up as a very sensitive child, during a time when there was less awareness of emotional regulation, I also had to contend with a significant challenge—an unmistakable birthmark on my face. This led to overwhelming feelings of being different and a strong need to fix myself. As I searched for ways to alleviate my own feelings, it pushed me to excel and propelled me to develop awareness and empathy towards others, along with a strong curiosity about emotions, the subconscious, and where solutions might be found.
In high school, my majors were psychology and sociology, and ever since, my hobbies have revolved around reading, learning, and attending various certifications and seminars as enrichment and fun. Throughout this journey, despite engaging in self-empowerment, removing the birthmark at 24, and moving on in so many ways, I still carried the overwhelming tendency and emotional charge from the past.
However, everything changed during a lecture about hypnotherapy, which became a meaningful turning point! For a living, I worked as an interior architect, so a sketch of the mind that was on the board, which I now show my clients during their work, looked to me like a blueprint that could be redesigned or reshaped, something I was well-trained with after two decades of planning work. My immediate thought was: I want to learn all of that!
I enrolled in college right away, even without experiencing a hypnosis session myself. I thought it would simply be another enriching year. However, when my mentor conducted a few sessions with me and I could finally convince my mind to truly let go, it all made so much sense. While in college, it became clearer that this was my role: to share this knowledge and tool to make a meaningful, long-lasting change in an effective and natural state of mind that we experience every day and can benefit from. This includes healing, overcoming limitations, and regulating ourselves. Train the mind for empowerment and success.
A year later, I graduated with honors. I know the usual response is, ‘Wow, what a career shift,’ but there are a lot of similarities. Our mind is a structure that can be rebuilt and redesigned, and I used my knowledge and creativity a lot when working with clients’ minds. Nothing was a waste. My life journey and life purpose merged together in 2018
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Professionally, a major aspect I’ve continually learned is how to initially bypass the mind’s resistance toward change. Understanding the structure and relationships between the parts of the mind is a game-changer! That’s why I value the hypnotherapy approach so much. In hypnosis, this transformation occurs naturally—a key that enables us to convert resistance into energy and flow, propelling us forward.
I am focused on this particular shift as a form of bridge, moving from a problem to a solution with ease. Our minds are fascinating, and I am grateful to witness people’s success, which, to me, is their ability to understand what is right for their minds to overcome challenges. From there, everything begins to unfold in the right way for them.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
My advice is to keep this in mind: once you aim for something, it means your subconscious mind has brought it to consciousness, indicating that you have the ability and blessing to make this change. Yes, you’ll have to navigate through challenges. Don’t be surprised; it is part of the process. This is the time for you to signal that you are ready to let go and evolve, and it is not a treat. The other way around, staying in the same spot is more dangerous. When fear, stress, and doubt are present but not too high, you can reshape the loop to align with your strengths and knowledge, which have prompted the awareness of creating this change in the first place.
Once you develop the right state of mind and use the appropriate technique that fits the shift you would like to create, allow yourself to be patient. Frustration or attempting to rush things will be perceived as a threat, and you now understand the significance of that. You’ve got this! Keep doing the work
Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
Often, despite our awareness and understanding of change work, many of us become frustrated by the struggle of not being able to apply it, which anchors the issue even more. I help them succeed by utilizing a relaxed state of mind, where the resistance to change is less activated than usual.
Based in LA and working remotely, my practice integrates self-understanding, alignment techniques, and personalized mind training with hypnosis—a neural state of mind that enables us to harness and encourage the subconscious mind to release and move forward. Whether the issue is stress, self confidence, anxiety, procrastination, doubts, childhood limitations, or an overwhelming or foggy mind, we recondition the loop to be a more balanced and joyful one, effectively transitioning from feeling stuck to unstuck.
