He was quite snippy, and refused to answer any of my questions - even though their website invites people to call them with any questions. He repeatedly tried to get me to set up an appointment for their "free consultation". When I asked about their fees, if they accept insurance, etc, this guy just kept robotically repeating "All-your-questions-will-be-answered-at-the-free-consultation". I finally told him that this whole thing sounds pretty hokey to me, and I hung up.

I have smoked for over 40 years!! I have tried Chantex, Welbutrin, the patch, gum, cold turkey and…read morelozenges. I have tried everything possible and have only made it a few hours before the urge to smoke overwhelmed the common sense to quit. I knew about Hypnosis, and I wanted to try, but I wanted to make sure I was going to the right place. After doing a lot of research, I found Albany Hypnosis Center and was bless to meet Deborah Nettles. The experience from the first Zoom meeting and everyone after has been truly amazing. Our first meeting was via Zoom and surprising, Deborah was able to hypnotize me via Zoom!!!!! I asked for our next meeting to be in person and I arrived at her office and was so pleasantly surprised on how tailored everything was to my history, my personal perception of smoking and how it affected my life and my daily activities. Deborah Hypnotized me and I have not smoke since. We had two more follow up sessions and since the original Zoom meeting was so successful, I wanted the second and third sessions to be via zoom (because I have a very busy work schedule, like so many other people). I am still smoke free and I have not struggled with any withdraw. The only thing that I have had to remind myself of is that I no longer smoke! I sometimes find, I reach for my purse out of old habits and quickly realize that I don't smoke and then the whole thought of smoking is somehow dismissed from my mind. I have been out in public and find the smell of smokers actually bothers me. To say I can't believe I am saying all this is an understatement. I have smoked for over 40 years and NEVER thought I could possibly stop and here I am today, smoke free, and so very proud of myself. I actually don't feel like I was ever a smoker and I just can't figure out how three sessions with Deborah changed my entire life. People that have known me for most of my life truly thought that after so many years, that there was no way I could ever quit. And yet here I am...smoke free and truly not even missing it! I am forever grateful to Deborah for her commitment to fine tune her professional craft in order to help people overcome the impossible.

Leslie's enthusiasm and passion for helping people break free from food prison is contagious! I…read moreparticipated in Leslie's group coaching program and found the content and coaching she provided to be extremely helpful! Leslie provided a nice combination of scientific background on the dynamics of overeating and food addiction as well as holistic tools like meditation and hypnosis. This program was simple to use and didn't require a lot of complicated steps. Leslie also focuses on self love and compassion as the keys to changing your relationship with food, rather than deprivation and self criticism like many other programs. Leslie helped us dig into our food stories and understand our associations with food from culture, family and early life experiences. As a result of Leslie's program I found myself responding to stress in healthier ways. Also, I was not eating on auto pilot out of habit thanks to the tools from her program. I highly recommend Leslie's program to anyone who wants to break their cycle of unhealthy eating habits, whether your goal is to lose a lot of weight, or simply have a stress free easy relationship with food and your body.
