About Rosanna

A lifetime of caring, now hypnotherapy

I'm Rosanna Iosso, a Mindlayers Certified Hypnotherapist based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Before hypnotherapy, I spent over forty years as a registered nurse — a career rooted in caring for people. Today, I bring that same devotion to a calmer, more personal kind of support.

I was born in the Philippines and moved to the United States, where I built a career as a registered nurse spanning more than forty years. Caring for people has always been at the heart of everything I do — it's who I am.

Over the years, I saw how often people needed more than medical care alone. They needed someone to truly listen, to hold space for their struggles, and to help them feel calm and hopeful again. That longing to support people in a deeper, more personal way led me to hypnotherapy.

I trained through the Mindlayers certification, which gave me a thorough foundation in supportive, client-centred hypnotherapy. My decades in nursing taught me how to meet people where they are with warmth and respect — and that shapes every session I hold today.

I work with adults who feel ready for change, even if they're not quite sure where to begin. Many of my clients come wanting support with anxiety, smoking, weight, sleep, stress, or confidence — and many arrive simply feeling quietly stuck.

You don't need to have everything figured out before we start. The free 60-minute consultation is a calm conversation where we explore what you'd like support with and whether this approach feels right for you.

I work with people from all walks of life, and I hold a respectful, welcoming space for everyone who sits with me.

We begin with your free 60-minute consultation — a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and we talk about what you'd like support with and how the six-session program works.

There's no hypnosis in the first session. It's simply a chance to meet, ask questions, and decide together whether this feels like the right fit. Many clients tell me they leave feeling lighter and more hopeful.

If you decide to continue, your first full session follows the same calm tone. You remain fully aware and in control throughout, and we move at a pace that feels right for you.

When I'm not in the practice, you'll often find me walking in the quiet green spaces around Knoxville or cooking the Filipino dishes I grew up with. Family and community have always been at the centre of my life, and that warmth carries into how I hold space for my clients.

After forty years of nursing, I believe more than ever that change happens most gently when we feel safe and supported. That's the environment I aim to create in every session — warm, unhurried, and completely respectful of where you are.

If you're curious about whether this work could help you, I'd love to talk. The free consultation is simply a conversation — no pressure, no commitment.
