Meet Dr. Cindy Sholes
Are you looking for neuroscience-informed hypnosis and transformational coaching near Menlo Park, California?
Biography: Dr. Cindy Sholes holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Francisco. Since 2003, she has helped clients explore emotional patterns, strengthen resilience, clarify personal goals, and create more supportive habits.
Her approach combines her scientific background with hypnosis, coaching, guided imagery, mindfulness, and other complementary mind-body techniques. Rather than applying the same process to everyone, Dr. Sholes seeks to understand each client’s goals, challenges, and readiness for change before recommending an individualized program.
Dr. Sholes works with clients in her private Menlo Park office and through virtual appointments.
The rREST® Method
Dr. Sholes developed rREST®, which stands for Rapid Reprogramming of Emotional Stress Technique. It’s an integrative method drawing upon medical hypnotherapy, Neuro Emotional Technique®, guided imagery, mindfulness, and neuroscience-informed coaching.
The process is intended to help clients explore emotional triggers, subconscious associations, limiting beliefs, and habitual responses. It may support clients in developing calmer and more deliberate ways of responding to stressful situations.
Areas of Focus
Clients may contact Dr. Sholes for support involving:
- Stress management and emotional resilience
- Anxious feelings and emotional reactivity
- Confidence and self-worth
- Limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging patterns
- Personal and professional development
- Leadership and executive performance
- Motivation and goal achievement
- Weight-management habits
- Mind-body awareness
- Life transitions and personal purpose
- Habit change
- Burnout and overwhelm
She also offers talks, workshops, and educational programs addressing happiness, leadership, personal performance, brain wellness, the mind-body connection, and weight-management behavior.
Why Might You Choose Dr. Cindy Sholes?
You may understand what you want to change but still find yourself reacting from an old emotional pattern, limiting belief, or automatic habit.
Dr. Cindy Sholes combines her Ph.D. training in neuroscience with hypnosis, guided imagery, brain-health coaching, and other complementary techniques. This may appeal to you if you prefer a structured, goal-oriented approach that considers both your emotional patterns and the practical changes you want to make.

What Makes Her Approach Different?
Dr. Sholes developed rREST®, the Rapid Reprogramming of Emotional Stress Technique. Her process may incorporate hypnosis, Neuro Emotional Technique, guided imagery, mindfulness, muscle testing, EFT, and coaching.
