I had a very powerful, heart opening, transformational Hypnotherapy session with Sylvia. She is a…read morebeautifully present, calm and attentive being; I didn't feel rushed or judged when I opened up to her. She listened carefully & deeply with what I presented to her, to what I was saying *behind my words* to connect with what would benefit me most in session. I felt very safe as she then softly held my head in her hands during the experience in a supportive way, which enabled me to let go further into the deeper states of my consciousnesses. She fully honored my journey by really taking her time helping me to visualize the journey and places I wished to explore and open up within myself.. I felt and saw things I never experienced before in Hypnosis which ended with a full blown "cosmic explosion" of information from my higher self beyond expectations. After having this deep emotional and spiritual release, I still feel it, days later now, very open and raw, in tears often - like fresh new cleansing water flowing through my solar plexus/heart area, the calm after the storm.. I feel the aftermath from nothing less than a truly blissful *enlightenment* most only hope to catch a glimpse of.. I still can't put words to it fully, will take time to process, but know I would not of been able to of gone that far with just anyone. Sylvia is a most talented, gifted healer and I can't recommend her enough. The wisdom that surfaced from that one session will serve me well for eternity. If you are truly seeking to break through boundaries in your life, seeking wisdom and truth for your path, become more fully in alignment with your higher self and life's purpose and need a witness/guide to bring you to that place where the answers you seek are awaiting to be explored deep inside yourself, Sylvia is more than skilled at helping you to achieve this. Thank you Sylvia! ~~*~~

Let me start by saying...I get that some people are a bit weary on hypnotherapy. You see a movie…read moreand someone waves a pocket watch in front of you and then puts you in a hypnotic state in 2 minutes and next thing you know, you are clucking like a chicken. LOL! Rest assured, that is NOT what hypnotherapy is like AT ALL! LOL! Sandra is truly one of the most beautiful, caring people I have ever met! From our first email, text and even first session, I felt like I was talking to a long time friend, where you can be candid, laugh, cry and just be yourself which allows you (and Sandra) to hone in on what you'd like out of your session. My first and second sessions were AMAZING! :) I felt calm, safe and optimistic that with Sandras guidance and wisdom I would reach the barriers in my subconscious that were preventing me from being my best self and Sandra did not disappoint!! I was guided to not only the barriers, but Sandra gave me the confidence to remove them and create a clear path to my best self! I left both sessions feeling light, happy and confident. It's a feeling that is so deeply embedded in me that I feel like I'm walking on air! Sandra couldn't have chosen a better name for her practice because my sessions were truly Transformational!

I've seen Sandra a total of 3 times so far and each healing session has been phenomenal. I hadn't…read moredone hypnotherapy before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did two trauma healing sessions and one past life regression. It's as if my brain has been reprogrammed. My experience: Before the session, we discussed what I'd like to work on. Then when she starts, I gradually fall into a deep hypnogogic state. Her voice gets further away and it's as if my body/subconscious takes over and responds to her suggestions. After our sessions, I noticed that I was starting to process trauma that had been too painful/buried to do so consciously through other therapy methods. I'm starting to adopt healthier behavioral patterns, moving with more fluidity, and am slowly regaining my agency and my voice.I highly recommend Sandra, especially if you're dealing with trauma that feels too deep to reach with regular talk therapy. - Sophi D

I began working with Jessica after the birth of my first child while struggling with postpartum…read moredepression. The transition into motherhood felt overwhelming--between the loss of autonomy, resentment about the workload expected of mothers, and the sense that my world had been turned upside down, I felt stuck. Through coaching with Jessica and participating in her Well Nourished Woman groups, I learned to check in with my body and needs, redefine what "good enough" looks like, and uncover patterns that were keeping me from moving forward. Now, having just completed the "fourth trimester" with my second daughter, my postpartum experience has been completely different. I felt resourced, supported, and able to fully experience the joy of mothering while also tending to my own needs. The ease I felt this time around would not have been possible without Jessica's wisdom and encouragement. She often says, "What is good for the mother is good for the family." That has proven true in my own life--her support hasn't just changed my experience of motherhood, it has positively impacted my whole family. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any mother seeking support in this transformative season.

I started going to see Kay around April 2019 for stomach pain and associated back pain (that would…read morenot go away after trying everything with my doctor) after reading how hypnosis can help with pain management. I liked Kay right off the bat! She's gives off a very calm and friendly vibe and is wonderful to talk too. I enjoyed our sessions a lot. Talking through my issues was nice and getting her take was helpful. The sessions were very relaxing as well. What I regret was not taking the audios seriously. I should have listened to them every day to get the benefit but I neglected that. I think that was why I didn't really think hypnosis was fully for me. It helped but not as much as I hoped. Forward to April 2020. I got infected with Covid in March and was dealing with many symptoms that would not go away. One of them was horrible acid reflux. I've had acid reflux in the past but this was 20x worse! Diet and medicine weren't helping and Kay texted me to check in with how I was doing (perfect timing!). I figured why not try hypnosis again and see. We had our session via FaceTime. I really liked doing it via FaceTime bc I could do it from the comfort of my couch or bed. No looking for parking or driving to SF. I stopped the medicine but continued to eat GERD friendly and listened to the audio we made 3x a day. My acid reflux went away! I just had to be diligent. I then developed another covid symptom a week or so later which was horrible headaches and nerve pain. I had another session with Kay and my symptoms improved. A couple of weeks later I stated having chest pains and heart palpitations, which is think was because I was too plugged into social media surrounding covid. My anxiety went through the roof. I could not stop being anxious. It was really really bad. My heart was racing so much all day. I had a session yesterday and I'm already feeling less anxious. My heart rate is going back to normal and I'm so grateful to Kay. I was considering taking anxiety meds and but I'm glad I tried Kay first. I think it's a combination of talking it through with Kay and doing the therapy that really helped. She really is amazing at what she does and I recommend her to anyone dealing with either physical or mental issues.

Kay is the real deal. She helped me navigate a challenging moment in life when I was at a…read morecrossroads. I got a lot out of only a handful of sessions together--she was immediately helpful and never pressured me to engage in any sort of long term engagement, which I really appreciate. I have new tools I was able to put to immediate use, but more than that, her insightful questions and active listening helped me find the clarity I was seeking. I cannot recommend her enough. P.S. this was written by a real actual human :)

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

Jessica changed my life. I had been dealing with insomnia and sleep issues for 10 years. With…read moreJessica's help and a bit of CBT-i sleep consolidation, I was able to reframe the way I think about sleep. Hypnotherapy was very new to me and I learned that it is exactly the kind of therapy that I needed. Jessica will spend about half the session learning more about what you are working on and will take notes and tie in info from other sessions. Then she leads you on a guided meditation to create a relaxing state of mind to begin exploring your inner issues with creative visualizations. It is a brilliant approach to therapy beyond just the talking format. Jessica is smart, experienced, calming, and hilarious. Highly recommend!

From the moment I met Melanie I was drawn to how solid and grounded she is. She feels almost…read moreconnected to the earth's core. Instantly, I felt that I could be completely open and honest with her. She made me feel safe enough to bring issues to the surface that I had long kept buried, almost unaware they were even there, impacting my life in ways great and small. Melanie has been instrumental in helping me to shift my relationship with my parents, which has been a revelation, as well my relationship with myself. I feel I know myself better, am more honest about my inner strengths, more deeply in touch with my inner wounding. As a therapist, I experience Melanie walking beside me, subtly guiding me in and out of the inner spaces I need to visit and explore. I am grateful for this opportunity to work with Melanie and foresee a brighter future for myself and my loved ones because of her insight and empathy.

I referred her to a friend even, who says the same, that she's helped her more in 2 sessions than her previous therapist did in a year. I've never been one to try the non-traditional methods, but I am SO glad that I did, if I could give her 10 stars I would!
