at liminal studio, we see change as a creative process. with hypnosis, we touch upon the patterns through which we perceive and respond to the world; and as these patterns come to surface, they become malleable. we can then start reshaping them to fit our needs: we become the designers of our inner space.

leila salvesen is a psychologist, hypnotherapist, and doctor of neuroscience specialising in altered states of consciousness. over the past decade, her research into sleep, dreams, and meditation has explored the determinants of subjective experience at the edges of human consciousness. she often extends her theoretical and empirical work with artistic and interdisciplinary projects, combining neuroscientific inquiry with creative exploration. at liminal studio, she translates this insight into therapeutic practice.

our approach relies on hypnotic trance to enter liminal states: altered modes of awareness, at the border between waking and dreaming, where focused attention meets deep relaxation. habitual boundaries soften, and the mind becomes more flexible and receptive to change.
