I've been working with Mary Heath of Focus Hypnosis since early summer. Let me just start off by…read moresaying that I'm NOT the kind of person you'd ever think would ever try hypnosis: I'm pretty skeptical in general & downright cynical about things that seem at all mystical or hocus-pocus. However, I've been unsuccessful in trying to make some changes in myself, and my disappointment in myself was negatively impacting my self-esteem and coloring almost every aspect of my life. I was literally out of other ideas so I investigated hypnotherapy, and I found some info about Mary Heath and Focus Hypnosis on her website...frankly, I didn't think I COULD be hypnotized but out of desperation (and curiosity!) & figuring I had nothing to lose, I made an appointment. I found Mary to be a complete and knowledgeable professional, and she took her time to answer all my questions and concerns involving her practice & hypnosis in general. She's very warm and empathetic (and to my relief, she's not covered in crystals, wearing mystical symbols or reeking of patchouli or sage!), and holds professional credentials and adheres to established ethical standards for hypnotherapy. She asked questions and took some personal history in order to gain insight into my concerns; after I explained to her what it was that I wanted to get out of my sessions, she was able to tailor her approach to my personal circumstances. She made no promises and offered no "magic, but explained that she has had much success in helping people replace old negative patterns (quitting smoking, reducing stress, irrational fears, getting past a lost relationship or loved one, etc.) by retraining you to change the way you think about such things, while in a state of deep relaxation. I noticed positive changes even after the first session, and more changes after additional sessions. Mary also provides exercises for self-hypnosis training, and includes reinforcement CDs for your own use at home to support lasting change. I feel like I'm on my way to making improvements in my life, thanks to Mary's help. Anyone considering hypnotherapy for the first time (even a skeptic like me!) should consider meeting with Mary for a consultation. I'm really glad I did.

Mary Heath of Focus Hypnosis is such a gift to this world. She has helped so many people that I…read moreknow harness the power of their own mind to change habits, release fears and improve their lives for the better. She is professionally trained, scientifically driven, has many years of experience and is genuinely so passionate about helping people. I would recommend her highly to anyone interested in how hypnosis might help them. She takes the time to explain how hypnosis works, do a thorough evaluation and answer questions. If you have any curiosity about hypnosis, I would recommend giving Mary a call!

Carla Chalah is a remarkable hypnotherapist. I am a horse trainer and instructor and she has…read morehelped several clients of mine work through various fears in relation to riding and their relationship with their horses. One of my clients was so fearful she could barely get on her horse. However, this client's deep desire to ride so outweighed her fears that she went to Carla for help. While my work with this client helped a bit over the months of teaching her, it was clear that once Carla stepped in this woman's progress was brilliant. Not only was she able to get on her horse, but she moved towards her dreams of riding at an advanced level. Carla's work with her was truly a remarkable intervention. Jane Karol

Carla is a no nonsense, intelligent, intuitive and insightful therapist. Timing is everything…read moreand her website has the zen saying- when the student is ready the teacher will appear. I do not believe in quick fixes, as my mindset has accompanied me for many decades of life. I also know that I alone can heal myself- but having a strong guide and healer helped me to expedite my process. We worked well together- and as the "old" me creeps in to sabotage my process- Carla helped me see this dynamic at play. We cannot fix what we cannot see. Carla can be a bright light in a dark tunnel - if you are ready!

I contacted Peter Gross for help with severe anxiety related to public speaking. I experienced…read morepanic attacks when speaking to groups of people and giving presentations. I also felt nervousness in social situations. Overtime, I lost my confidence in myself. Having panic attacks while public speaking was embarrassing and interfered with my job to the point where I had to leave it. I tried CBT treatment for this but it was not successful. I also tried pharmaceutical interventions but they left me tired and unable to function well. I sought hypnosis as a last resort. After only three sessions with Peter, the positive changes have been transformative. It has been a month after my last session, and I feel a newfound confidence that has significantly diminished my fear of public speaking. I have clear memories of how awful public speaking has been for me, but the new confidence that I feel is more powerful than the fear. While I haven't tested it with a large presentation yet, I've successfully navigated other social / public speaking situations that caused me panic. After each session, Peter gave me a recording to listen to at home. I truly feel such a difference. I am planning to go back for one more session. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter and I would go back to him if I needed help with another issue.

I reached out to Peter for my daughter with severe anxiety. I wasn't sure what to expect because…read moreshe has a disability and that alone can cause issues. There was NO issue with Peter. He bonded with her instantly and after one session, we saw an immediate change. She was able to stand in front of a crowd to do a reading at a wedding that went flawlessly! Did I mention that she stutters? Well not for that reading she did not. If I did not see it with my own eyes I would not have believed it. The extra tape to listen to after the session is a huge help as well. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend. Thank you Peter!!!

Let me begin by saying that I never saw myself as someone who would consider stepping into a…read morehypnotist's office, probably for fear of some hex that might be cast on me while innocently sitting there. It's not so much the technique that drew me though as it was the man behind the operation. I mean, he flies hot air balloons for fun... you gotta have some kid of moxie to pull that off, right?? The quiet confidence and unwavering courage that Bob exudes is undeniable. I could tell from the limited exposure I had of him at business networking meetings that he was offering a better brand of "Know thyself," and I so desperately needed a hefty dose of that intangible quality in my life at the time. Bob offers all kinds of assistance. In fact, whatever tool you need to help you conquer that mountain in your life that has become an insurmountable obstacle, he will equip you to blow it up with dynamite or make it into something you can live with by the mere power of his words. All he said to me was, "Yes, you can!" And my life changed forever. I was struggling with a specific force of controlling person in my life that had far more power over me because I had relinquished it unknowingly. Bob listened with heart of a lion and tenderness of a shepherd then made the most liberating remarks that allowed me to break the emotional relational dam of my own making. He was the "big brother" that fought for me with liberating thoughts and responses (ones that I hadn't allowed myself to think due to the potential fallout in my world). Essentially he gave me a safe place to dare my limitations and fears away. He can do the same for you!

I also had general weakness all over, which I attributed to getting older, but didn't think anyone could do anything about that. But after several sessions with Lauren (who I now think is an intuitive genius), not only did my wrist heal but my strength is coming back, and my vitality. Even my lifelong wonky left ankle is better! I don't want to say it's magic, but it sure feels that way. She's creative, tries all different kinds of moves, and yet gentle and nurturing, and the sessions are so relaxing. I'm amazed!
