About Fanis Makrigiannis
Certified Hypnotherapist & NLP Master Practitioner
Serving Oshawa, Durham Region, the Greater Toronto Area, and all of Ontario & Canada via secure virtual sessions.
Who Is Fanis Makrigiannis?
Fanis Makrigiannis is the founder of Mind Spirit Body Hypnosis, one of Ontario's most trusted advanced hypnotherapy practices. Based in Oshawa, Durham Region, Fanis has spent the last decade helping clients across Canada break free from anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, emotional eating, smoking, and low confidence, often in far fewer sessions than traditional therapy.
What sets Fanis apart is a deeply personal understanding of struggle. A speech impediment in his younger years led to crippling shyness, lost confidence, and social withdrawal, until hypnotherapy changed everything. That personal transformation became the foundation of a career built entirely around helping others experience the same profound shift.
Fanis does not use generic scripts. Every session at Mind Spirit Body Hypnosis is 100% custom-designed around the individual, their history, their neurology, and their goals. The result is faster, deeper, and more lasting change.

Areas of Clinical Expertise •
Over the years, Fanis has worked with clients across Ontario and Canada in the following areas:
Anxiety & Stress Using advanced hypnotherapy, NLP, and nervous system regulation techniques, Fanis helps clients rewire the subconscious fear responses driving chronic anxiety — at the root cause, not just the surface symptom.
Weight Loss & Smoking Cessation By targeting emotional eating patterns, cravings, and habitual triggers at the subconscious level, Fanis helps clients break free from cycles that willpower alone cannot overcome.
Trauma & EMDR Using EMDR alongside clinical hypnotherapy and memory reconsolidation, Fanis helps clients process and neutralize traumatic memories so they no longer control day-to-day functioning, relationships, or self-worth.
Confidence & Personal Growth Through NLP submodality work, Timeline Therapy, and Parts Integration, Fanis helps clients rebuild a strong, authentic self-image, often after years of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or emotional suppression.
The Mind Spirit Body Hypnosis Approach •
Every session is built on three core principles:
1. Custom-Designed, Never Scripted. No two clients receive the same session. Every approach is tailored to the individual's specific subconscious patterns, history, and goals.
2. Root Cause, Not Surface Symptom Rather than managing symptoms, the goal is always to identify and resolve the originating subconscious belief or event driving the unwanted behaviour or feeling.
3. Fast, Lasting, Professional Sessions are designed to create measurable shifts as quickly as possible, with results that hold because they are made at the deepest neurological level.
A Note From Fanis •
"I know what it feels like to be held back by something you can't quite explain, something deeper than logic or willpower can reach. I've been there myself. That's exactly why I do this work. If you're ready to stop managing your struggle and start actually resolving it, I'm here. Reaching out is the hardest part. What comes next will surprise you."
