It's not every day that a business can transform your life: in my experience, Morpheus Hypnosis…read moreabsolutely delivers on that level. I've waited quite a while to write this review because I wanted to see if the initial results would "stick". I'm delighted to confirm that eight months after my initial consultation with Luke Chao, I continue to experience daily benefits as a result of my three sessions. If you are serious about making lasting changes in your life using hypnotherapy, this is the place to go. Their scientific approach offers proven benefits for many, and everyone's experience is subjective, so let it suffice to say my only regret regarding hypnotherapy is not trying this 10 or 15 years ago. I could have saved a lot of time, energy, and money--no exaggeration! To get the most out of your consultation/session, I recommend the following: - Go with a goal: have specific habits/behaviour in mind that you want to target, vs. a broad or general direction. For example, you might want to target exercising at least X number of times per week vs "being more healthy." - Communicate and establish your expectations clearly: indicate the specific outcomes you expect to see as a result of your sessions. Clarify with your therapist how many sessions you might require to achieve this goal. If you're looking to explore past lives or find your life's purpose, sorry, but this isn't the place for you. If you're even the slightest bit curious to try hypnosis, I encourage you to take them up on their offer of a free consultation--you have nothing to lose, there is no pressure to buy sessions, and they offer a money-back guarantee. Forget the stereotypes of party tricks and mind control. At Morpheus, you can expect complete professionalism and discretion.

My experience: I approached Morpheus Clinic with a case of stubborn fear that was affecting my…read morelife negatively on and off for 10 plus years. I'd seen a number of other therapists and had minimal success. Luke Chau was a revelation. I didn't have to spend hours re-living the event (that caused the fear) over and over. I elaborated on my issue to the intake coordinator, she gave me a suggestibility test which determined approximately how many sessions were needed to address my fear, then Luke wrote up a treatment plan covering all aspects of the solution. He was also keenly able to identify areas that I wasn't even aware of. I wasn't sure how a virtual online appointment would work with hypnosis since Luke is in Toronto and I'm in BC but it was fantastic. I think even better in some ways had I needed to fight through traffic to get to his office. I was already in a fairly relaxed state of mind since I was casually going about my daily tasks in the house. At the scheduled time, I connected easily to their platform, got comfortable on the couch and chatted with Luke for a few minutes before the session began. It was incredibly relaxing. Luke is very skilled at structuring the suggestions that touched on all the aspects of the issue plus incorporating some powerful metaphors that I will carry with me my entire life. Even after the first session, I noticed a difference in how much I was ruminating about the fear during the day (way less). There was significant "movement"--it felt like the cloud I'd been under for a decade was finally lifting. The next few sessions helped even more. I was finally starting to find more humor and enjoyment in my life and with my family. I looked forward to the actual sessions (online) where I could relax deeply and trust the process that Luke had laid out. Not only did we work on my specific fear but the bonus was that my confidence increased. I highly recommend the services of Morpheus Clinic if you have experienced any stubborn issue that's been eating away at your life.

Why I decided to try hypnotherapy…read more For me, hypnotherapy was a low risk high move. I became interested in it after doing a lot of research on the manifestation of trauma in the brain and the body, and I felt like the principles behind hypnotherapy was supported by the modern day science. My experience with Michael Nolan *Disclaimer*: I'm trying to be as transparent as possible, but it's entirely possible that your experience will be completely different than mine. We spent the first hour talking about what I was trying to work on, which was my relationship with my parents. Michael has a very calming presence. We talked about the role of my feelings, the different neurological pathways that impact the way I feel, and how those pathways are shaped by events in early development. It was by far the most helpful one hour lecture on neuroscience I've ever had. Michael combines science with spirituality in a way that completes the picture. In the second hour, I was put into a relaxed state. I usually have trouble relaxing anywhere that's not my bed but I found myself able to relax fully here. We worked on changing my feelings around negative events. Afterwards, we discussed what I felt and Michael gave me recommendations on resources to check out. After the treatment, I remained in a state of blissful relaxation for about a day. However, even when the relaxed state was no longer there and I started feeling the negative feelings again, I was able to recognize the feeling and understand why it was there, which was highly valuable for me. My advice for getting the most out of the experience Everyone's journey to healing is different. As great as the experience was, I don't think you should go into it with the expectation that it is a miracle drug which will solve all your problems but rather think of it as a puzzle piece which helps you gain a better understanding of yourself. In addition, try to be as vulnerable and honest as possible about what you're trying to heal from.

Andrew Gentile has the most soothing presence. He is a TRUE HEALER. I have been to him twice and…read moreeach time he has hit the nail on the head, so to speak! What I like about the experience is that it gave me a chance to PROCESS the issue that I came to work on before we did the hypnotherapy. Andrew is an excellent listener, and he provides constructive feedback to really help me clearly identify and understand my problem and how to solve it. Andrew is professional. He provides a digital recording of the session that I added to my iPod so I can listen to it over and over - extremely helpful. Andrew is so good that the effects of the session last for a long time. Highly recommended!!

Jason 's program is a scam. He is a magician first and his program has nothing to offer but smoke…read moreand mirrors. All he teaches is about stress. He has 4 tapes that you listen to over and over for 6 weeks and in your hypnotherapy session all he does is play the same tape that you have been listening to. Don't waste your money. I would never recommend this program. Jason is only interested in taking your money and not your well-being. I called to change an appointment and was told he "couldn't fill that spot now", even though it was 24 hours prior which shows he's all about the money. The program was so bad I didn't even finish my 8 sessions because it was just so repetitive that I was learning nothing nor getting any affect from his hypnosis.

I highly recommend the Greater Toronto Hypnosis Center if you are looking to add an effective tool…read moreto your toolbox to address issues you may be having around anxiety/stress, weight loss, smoking cessation and otherwise. Jason is a kind and compassionate professional who guided me into a state of deep relaxation / hypnosis, and now that I have experienced this new level of 'calm', I am able to achieve this state through self-directed exercises. While I did not come to the Center for support around anxiety/depression, I found that it was a happy side-effect that my mental state is so much improved that I no longer require anti-depressant medications. It is important to come to the program ready to fully participate with a positive mindset. Jason will call you out on your 'bulls**t' if you're making excuses and are not fully engaged. I expect you get out of the program what you are willing to put into it. I love the taped sessions, and Jason's sessions equally. Its great to have the tapes to use at home whenever you want. Not to mention the program is guaranteed - Jason will meet with you monthly at no charge, forever, if you need it to reach or maintain your goals after the program is finished. Hardly a money grab, as was suggested by Lindamarie P (Parsons)? in her review. Definitely ignore that review! She was clearly not committed to the program and missed out on an opportunity. Highly recommend!

Buyer beware: I had a consultation with Georgina where she convinced me to buy a coaching package…read moreon top of another package for a "Past Life Regression" and a "Life Between Lives" at $2000. During our next session for the PLR, Georgina wasn't able to hypnotize me, and she blamed me the client for having blocks (very plausible) but then proceeded to eviscerate every aspect of my life. Had she given me instructions beforehand, then the onus is on me--the client... but it's not my fault she is not as effective as she claims (I watch Youtube hypnosis videos that are effective and meditate regularly). When Georgina told me I am out of flow with God and that I must have huge issues, it was ironic. Although I struggle with career and love, I recently have built momentum in those areas.. not to mention that I have an extremely fulfilling life full of travel, beauty, wealth and deep connection to others. Just because I struggle in some areas does not give any practitioner--no matter their status--the right to put me down (beyond constructive criticism). As luck would have it, a friend of mine in the US worked with Georgina years ago and said the mentorship ended because Georgina made constant backhanded remarks. Despite best selling author with a CBC documentary, Georgina has a sadistic side that seems to only come out with a select few. The things, she is working in the realm of God and angels and must know that she is accountable when she transitions for every client and mentee. As the saying goes: "Be careful who you stand on, on your way up, as you will meet them on the way down."
