Do the work well. Do the work within.
Every program at Work Well Hypnosis works at the root of the pattern, not the surface of the symptom. The work is clinical, grounded, and designed for people who understand that lasting change requires more than good intentions.

about
Gina Lippold-Ruby
Co-Founder · Creator of The Work Well Method™ · Author, Agency in Authenticity
MS, I/O Psychology · Clinical Hypnotist · NLP Practitioner
Gina spent decades in Human Resources roles before co-founding Work Well Hypnosis, long enough to understand, with some precision, where conventional workplace wellness falls short. She holds a graduate degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (I/O) alongside her credentials as a clinical hypnotist and NLP practitioner, and she draws on all of it.
Her deepest interest is alignment by helping clients close the distance between who they are and how they spend their days, at work and beyond it. Gina also carries a personal investment in smoking cessation work, having lost her father too soon to cancer, and brings to that work the same steady conviction she brings to everything else: that patterns can change, and that it is never too late to begin.

David Ruby
Co-Founder · Work Well Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnotist · NLP Practitioner · Coach
David brings over a decade of clinical practice in hypnosis, NLP, and coaching, work he entered by way of an earlier career in medical librarianship, where a researcher's instinct for evidence and precision first took root.
He has a particular focus on athletic performance and weight management, though his client work spans a wide range of behavioral and identity-level change. That practice-rooted background grounds Work Well Hypnosis in the same methodology it teaches: every engagement shaped by genuine expertise, not theory alone.

During This call
Clarify what is possible

Tell us where you are and what you hope to change. We will listen first, and identify together where the real work needs to happen.
Understand the approach
We will explain how hypnosis and NLP actually work, what sessions look and feel like, and why this methodology reaches where others do not.
Leave with a clear next step
If there is a fit, we will outline exactly what a path forward looks like for you. No pressure, no package pitch. Just clarity.
What Clients Say
"I consider myself a fairly difficult client. I was delighted to find that not only were you not fazed, but actually seemed warmly curious and interested to meet me right where I was. Wonderfully skillful and flexible and generous, you helped me bring more generosity and kindness to myself in a way that felt deeply liberating and healing. I wholeheartedly recommend your services."
Trina Brunk
"Recently diagnosed with insulin resistance, I needed to correct 45 years of poor eating choices immediately. After two sessions and about six weeks, I can report a very smooth transition to a diet that works with my health concerns. I see choices clearly and continue to make the right ones. I highly recommend this service."

The Work Well Method™
A guide to burnout recovery through alignment, agency, and pattern change
The companion text to the flagship program. For HR leaders, managers, and individuals who want to understand the full architecture of the method and why burnout happens, how internal patterns sustain it, and what it actually takes to move through it rather than around it.

Personal Development & identity
Agency in Authenticity
Rooms You Once Lived In: A Journey Through the House of Self
A literary guide through the interior life, written in the tradition of reflective nonfiction and structured around seven rooms of a house as metaphor for the self. Each room holds a question about identity, conditioning, and the ongoing recovery of who you were before you learned to perform otherwise.
Includes NLP-rooted reflection exercises and the recurring figure of G and the authentic self before adaptive conditioning took hold.
Available in paperback
the Work Well Method™
Flagship Program
The Work Well Method™
Better retention, role clarity, and leadership consistency, built to last
Designed for individuals and organizations navigating burnout, disengagement, and chronic misalignment.
This is not a resilience workshop.
It is a structured process grounded in industrial/organizational psychology and clinical behavioral science, applying hypnosis and NLP to address the patterns beneath burnout and disengagement, not just their symptoms. Central to the work is self-efficacy: a person's belief in their own capacity to produce meaningful outcomes. When that belief erodes, motivation, performance, and retention erode with it, often well before it shows up in the numbers.
The method is delivered through three programs: The Reset, The Rewire, and The Integration. Each addresses both the individual's internal patterns and the relational systems in which they work, because lasting change, and lasting retention, requires attention at both levels.
Program I
The Reset
Surfacing patterns and sources of misalignment
Program II
The Rewire
Realigning values, strengths, and sustainable work style
Program III
The Integration
Repatterning internal beliefs and habitual response loops

The Well Suite
aDD-ON PROGRAMS
The Well Suite and life-domain extensions
Four programs that carry the Method's framework into specific behavioral domains. Each is grounded in the same clinical methodology. Each is available as a standalone program or as a complement to The Work Well Method.
Well Suite · 01
Breathe Well
Smoking and vaping cessation through identity-level pattern change
Most cessation attempts fail not from insufficient motivation, but because the behavior is deeply woven into identity, stress regulation, and social context. Breathe Well addresses all three through clinical hypnosis and NLP rather than willpower or deprivation framing.
Individual Unlimited sessions for one year. Many clients quit in a single session.
Group Workshop format, 3 to 4 hours, modified depth
Well Suite · 02
Eat Well. Move Well.
Health management through values-led behavioral realignment.
The gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it is almost always based on unconscious programming. This program does not prescribe eating plans or exercise regimens. It addresses the identity, emotion, habit, and belief architecture that determines whether any external guidance will be followed, and sustained.
Individual 4 to 6 sessions, values-led behavioral realignment
Note Not designed for active eating disorders. Referral guidance is provided where appropriate.
Well Suite · 03
Dwell Well. Play Well.
Daily living and recreation through environmental, cognitive, and performance repatterning How we manage our daily lives and how we perform in sport and recreation draw on the same internal architecture. This program addresses the full range of daily living: from chronic disorganization, overwhelm, and a fraught relationship with one's own environment, to the mental patterns that determine athletic performance under pressure. Whether the work is organizing your life or competing at your best, the internal patterns underneath are the same place to begin.
Individual Tailored session structure based on goals, whether daily living, sport, or both.
Team Group format available for teams and organizations.

Sleep Well
Restorative sleep through nervous system regulation and hyperarousal pattern elimination
Sleep disruption in high-performing professionals is most often maintained by hyperarousal: a nervous system that cannot distinguish between work hours and rest. Sleep Well uses hypnosis and nervous system regulation tools to dissolve the patterns keeping the brain in vigilance mode long after the day has ended.
Individual 4 to 6 sessions, nervous system and pattern focus
Note Complements but does not replace medical evaluation for sleep disorders.
