No only has it allowed me to cope with my various anxieties, it has brought a sense of calm and serenity in my life. The biggest affect it has had on me is with my studying. I could hardly focus for more than 15 minutes, and I would find myself reading the same sentence over and over, and never retaining information. However, after the neuro feedback I am a machine!! I can focus for 8 hour stretches and retain information better than ever before! And lastly, the best part of the sessions is Tess herself. She has not only become a friend to me, but also my pseudo-therapist. I highly recommend Neuro Feedback for anyone with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, ADD, or for people who just need to chill out.

Neuro Feedback is like a personal meditation teacher, or a dance or martial arts instructor for your mind, that points out and corrects your form as you train. Your brain is where mind and body come together. Just as you can train your body to build stamina, strength or flexibility, so you can train your brain. For thousands of years, people have used meditation and prayer to change the brain by training the mind. For the past 50 years, though, biofeedback technology has made a much faster and easier option possible: Change the mind by training the brain directly! Neuro-Feedback helps to eliminate: Exhaustion Codependency Anxiety, Stress, Worry Communication issues Loneliness Depression and Sadness Trauma Emotional intimacy Self-esteem issues Trust issues Addicitive tendencies Procrastination

I came to pivotal hypnotherapy with the following issues: difficulties with my husband, struggling to balance motherhood and work, bad relationship with my father, fear of public speaking, chronic stress, health issues, low energy, etc. I was at a very low point in my life and I was ready to try anything. I started learning about hypnotherapy online and how it works directly with subconsciousness, which apparently is responsible for how we operate our lives, for our choices, emotions, etc. I found Lynne online and after reading on her website about the tools she uses I quickly understood that she is very qualified, knowledgeable and experienced. Lynne uses a holistic approach and she does not spend hours talking about your past traumas and experiences. She is very generous with sharing different recourses, tools that she is aware of. During the course of my treatment I learnt about ETF method, I learnt self-hypnosis, Gut health, I learnt common feeling patterns and how to correct them. Lynne was able to point out the root cause of my autoimmune condition! She also gave me some recommendations on how to correct it. After only 1.5 months my family moved to my dream house, my relationship with my husband improved significantly, I started enjoying driving (I was afraid of driving before), I became more confident, my voice became stronger and more persuasive (which happened naturally with increase in my confidence I believe), my relationship with my father improved and my past traumas were healed, I started loving myself more, I learned about some things that were stopping me from moving to the next level in my career and life in general. Now I have more clarity on what I want and what I don't want. I know how to set boundaries and get what I want. I realized that I am happier than I have been for a long time. Lynne also taught me a technic how to manifest different goals and desires (one at a time though :)). When I just started working with Lynne, she told me that my life was about to change. To be honest I was a bit skeptical, I did not realize that it could happen so soon. I think everyone will benefit from working with Pivotal hypnotherapy. I highly recommend working with Lynne. Very grateful, Ainur

The usual disclaimer applies...I only review things I really, really like OR dislike. And while…read moresome may say that writing a favourable review for my partner's company is as biased as it gets, well...yes. If you know me, you probably know that I'm about as analytical and evidence-based as you can get. So the idea of hypnosis as something that can bring relief to people without physical intervention is one that I'm going to need proof on. The thing is, I HAVE benefited from hypnosis. About three years ago, I cut myself really badly by doing something really stupid--I tried to pry up the drain cover in the shower with my bare hands. Seems really sensible, right? The cuts went really deep into my two index fingers, and required several stitches and many weeks to heal. I do have nerve damage though. All of that, I can live with. What I COULDN"T live with was the images passing through my mind of looking down at my fingers, embedded in the shower grate, dripping blood. My mind would flash back to the image, many times a day. It was affecting my concentration, my sleep, and my ability to be calm. I eventually realized that this was post-traumatic stress. PTSD. No different than reliving a car accident, or any other traumatic condition where you have to face something that you'd rather not. And I couldn't get it to stop. Eventually, once I realized what I was dealing with, I asked Valerie to hypnotize me and help me deal with the PTSD. In one 45 minute session, I no longer think about the horror. I can look at my scars without flashing back, and the overall sensation is one of remembering, but not like I am still there. This was about 4 years ago, and I recall how it felt, but it's clearly in the past. Flash forward to now, and Val has relaunched her hypnotherapy practice, but will now be focussing on treating people with early-stage dementia, as well as anyone who is interested in hypnosis as prevention. I can tell you right now, it works, and it's worth looking into.

The company is conveniently located just over a block from the Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station. The ambiance of the location is great. Patrick is fantastic at what he does. Very knowledgeable and professional. I had 3 sessions of hypnotherapy for 1.5 hours each time. For my first complementary visit, prior to the sessions, he was very generous of his time and offered great coaching/counselling. I always felt positive and reassured during the sessions and after. Unfortunately, the hypnotherapy didn't work; otherwise, would have been 4 stars if it worked for a short period of time and 5 stars if it worked for longer. The overall holistic experience was worthwhile and maybe more so 'cause the price was covered by my work benefits. Recommended as the hypnotherapy might work for you, plus there are other services available.

So far I have had two hypnotherapy sessions with Kary on two separate issues…read more For both issues, I have experienced major shifts in my life. The first thing that Kary worked with me on was an irrational fear that I just could not seem to shake on my own. The other issue relates to weight loss and the way that I approached eating and fitting in physical activity into my busy schedule. In both cases, what was really effective was that Kary took the time to understand my issue and approach it from a rational standpoint, engaging my conscious mind. After discussing the issue exploring the possible causes of it and solutions, Kary would then hypnotize me, in a process that was extremely relaxing and also very effective. My fear is gone, and I am on my way to meeting my weight loss goals after Kary's hypnosis sessions slowed me down so that I could really take action from a quiet, centered place. Kary's warmth and candid way really helped me to open up and talk about things that I would not normally talk about. I look forward to continuing to work with Kary to produce more positive changes in my life.

In my book,…read moreCarol's Lives, I had three pages describing my first hypnotherapy experience, and I wrote: "...In that initial moment when I'd first arrived at her office, there had also been a clear and concise voice inside me saying, 'You can do this!'" I didn't mention her name in the book, but that hypnotherapist was Rifa. So here's my long overdue "Thank you" to Rifa! If my memory is correct, I went to see Rifa in March or April 2009 for an LBL session. At that time, I was so new to the hypnotherapy world (in this life anyways). And I had a laundry list of notes for her to address for one session... Now I laugh at my ambition and ignorance. Rifa was so very gentle and kind. Unknown to me at the time, the session opened such a huge doorway for the rest of my life. Thank you Rifa from my heart, my mind, and my soul!
