Are You Tired of Being Frustrated?


Does It Seem Like You're Stuck In The Same Old Rut?


You might already know that hypnosis can help people stop smoking or manage their weight. It can help with those issues, but it can also do much more. In fact, any part of your life that is affected by your thoughts, feelings or behaviors can be improved by hypnosis:

Gain Self Confidence, Reach Your Potential

  • Is self-doubt holding you back?
  • Do you worry about not seeming intelligent, interesting or fun enough when talking to new people, so you don't even bother?
  • Do you find it hard to speak up and assert yourself, whether in business or personal situations?
  • Are you missing opportunities and always selling yourself short because of a lack of self-confidence?
  • Are you sabotaging or limiting yourself, whether it's in business, sports or school?

Stop Bad Habits, Gain Self-Control; No More Frustration and Guilt

  • Do you struggle with behaviors that you just can't seem to stop?
  • Do you take things too personally and overreact, leading to regret and embarrassment? 
  • Are you having trouble letting go of a past relationship because you keep thinking about them?
  • Do you procrastinate and put things off until the last minute, feelings of dread and guilt growing stronger, so that you can't even enjoy your free time?

Overcome Fear and Enjoy Your Life

  • Are you frightened by the thought of everyday things such as driving, bridges or flying? Do you go out of your way to avoid them?
  • Have you missed opportunities in your career because you avoid public speaking?
  • Does the thought of taking an exam cause you to feel sick?
  • Do you get nervous being the focus of attention?
  • Do you worry about blushing, making a public mistake, or being at a loss for words?

Does any of this sound familiar to you? Then, if I could show you how to use the power of your subconscious mind in order to make
rapid improvements in your life, would you be interested in knowing more?


At Last, Straight Talk about Hypnosis!


I'm Steve Roh, owner and operator of Center City Hypnosis in Philadelphia. My mission is to help you free yourself from unwanted thoughts, feelings or behaviors, so that you can get on with your life. 

As a professional hypnotist, I've helped hundreds of Delaware Valley residents change their lives for the better. I've been featured on the Comcast Network and KYW 1060 Newsradio as an expert on hypnosis (be sure to check out the blog for clips).

Here's why you should choose Center City Hypnosis to help you achieve your goals:

*   Free, no-obligation initial consultation so that you can make an informed choice. Simple, clear explanations.

*   No contracts to sign, no pressure to enroll in long-term programs. No disclaimers with fine print and "weasel clauses". What You See Is What You Get!

*   Real 1-on-1 sessions --- I won't put a pair of headphones on you and leave the room while you listen to a pre-recorded generic CD!

*   Each session is customized based on you and your goals. Modern, powerful techniques- we do not settle for "relax and imagine a nice happy scene".

*   Upfront pricing information. I don't think you should have to come in and sit through a sales pitch just to find out how much something costs.

*   I know you aren't impressed by pseudo-scientific jargon and meaningless made-up titles like "Elite Master Hypnotist". I won't try to fool you with mail-order Ph.D.s and fake credentials.

*   The focus is on you, and finding a solution to your problem. I will not use your time as an opportunity to sell you vitamin supplements, or try to convince you to sign up for an affiliate or multi-level marketing program.

*   Full-time hypnotist who helps people just like you every day. This means I have to consistently get results for clients and referrals.

(The sad fact is: most hypnotists never develop active practices. Most treat it as a hobby or a weekend diversion. If the change you desire really matters to you, do you want someone literally practicing on you as part of their hobby?)

*   Professional approach using a step-by-step, systematic process (5-PATH®) that's helped many thousands of clients around the world achieve success. This means higher quality and more consistent results for you.

*   Office located in the heart of Philadelphia's central business district, open 6 days a week (including Saturdays). I take our work together seriously; unlike most hypnotists, this isn't something I do to "make extra cash working part-time from home".

*   I know that my role is to help you achieve your goals, NOT to play Amateur Spiritual Advisor or "healer". I will not try to convince you that you were an ancient Mayan priestess in a past life! Maybe you were, maybe you weren't; it's not up to me.

***

I'm a strong believer in consumers being able to make an informed choice. I also know that once you review your options in choosing a local hypnotist, that you'll have a lot more confidence in choosing Center City Hypnosis. And the more confidence you have in the hypnotist, the greater your chance of success.

So, here is a link to a website where you can request referrals to other National Guild of Hypnotists certified hypnotists in your local area: http://www.ngh.net/Forms/Referral.aspx. Please note: the NGH randomly selects from a pool of local hypnotists with each request, and response time from the NGH may vary.

Some folks think I'm crazy to provide a resource like that to people who visit my site, but the way I figure it: if you can find another service provider who really might work better for you, why would I want to prevent you from getting that help?

"I felt so great after each session and that feeling continued with me... When my mom first recommended hypnotism I was very skeptical. I thought there was no way that I could relax my mind, but I really did. It was the most amazing experience of my life and I'm a changed person now because of it. I am so grateful and I haven't felt this happy in a LONG time. Thank you!!" - Kelly G. "I would instantly feel energized and positive when I walked out of the office... My friends and family have noticed huge changes in me and have even gone as far as asking if I was on some kind of drug... Thanks again for a life altering experience." - Michele D. "I thank you so much for helping me overcome my fear of performing. My audition went very well and I have been offered work in 6 shows so far for this coming season." - Walt N.

"I'm not going to lie, I was skeptical... because you hear about countless different forms of therapy... even though I was referred by a friend, I was certainly skeptical coming in... but I think I'm really-- not amazed, but pleased that in so soon or so quick a time, I was able to take care of a problem that was becoming a real hindrance in my life and my success."
"I didn't think I could be hypnotized!... I can not believe the difference hypnosis has made. I asked to be 're-programmed' so I would not crave soda and sweets constantly, and that is exactly what I got. I have made a real positive change in my life with Steve's help, and would not hesitate to recommend him to others." - Marsha S. "Thank you so much for getting me to quit smoking. My family thanks you. And my little 9 year old girl counts each day that I do not smoke. 'It has been 38 days', she tells me each day with such a big smile. Thank you." - Mark C.

"[Hypnosis] was so easy to get into and effective. It untaps creativity as well. Hypnosis rejuvenates you and makes you feel like you can do what you want or need to do. Plus, Steve is the best at what he does. He makes you feel so comfortable, which makes it easy to relax... I enjoyed my experience and recommend hypnosis for anyone who is feeling stuck or just can't seem to tap into their power within." - Crystal P. "I've been a smoker on and off for 25 years, more 'on' than 'off', and except for the day I found out I was pregnant - this was the easiest time for me to quit. I've been smoke-free for 3 and 1/2 months. What surprised me the most was I had nothing physical going on, my body wasn't going nuts for a cigarette." - K. G.

"I have always had an extreme fear of public speaking, and for many years did everything in my power to avoid having to speak before an audience. Recently, however, I had to face my biggest fear - a two-hour oral examination before a board of professionals in my field. Using hypnosis, Steve gave me a newfound confidence in my own professional abilities, and I credit him with helping me to remain calm and collected before the panel... I am a true believer. Thank you Steve!" - Alison B. "...A refreshing alternative to traditional 'therapy'. Steve really strives to help you help yourself... Thanks, you helped me deal with that emotional baggage I've been carrying around... I feel that the sessions were money well spent." - W. Ondash
Click to hear a client describe his experience:
"My outlook has changed very greatly... I've been able to invoke that feeling of calmness and peacefulness at times I've really needed it... I can definitely say I've seen improvement... it's been a positive experience and I plan on recommending it to loved ones who need help in certain areas... it's definitely worth a try."
"I felt like what we accomplished in two sessions would be the same as two years of therapy. I was very pleased with the outcome so far." - Deborah Hurwitz "It was amazing how I got hypnotized so easily and it truly worked almost immediately in my every day thinking... My reasons for [seeking help] was to work on my self confidence issues and boy did it work. The hypnosis has allowed me to be a more positive person in many areas of my everyday life. I think this is so worth it for any sort of situation in life." - Name withheld by request

"Thank you so much for your help. Quitting smoking has truly changed my life in so many ways." - Lisa T. "This is embarrassing to admit, but for 20 years, I was a cheek-chewer. At times, it was chronic, a daily routine of a sore mouth, difficulty eating, and unsightly facial contortions. After two sessions with Steve, I am free of this affliction. I will say, it didn't happen overnight, but when I was tempted, I would think of his words... and eventually, my mouth healed and the urge subsided. I highly recommend Steve if you are looking to break a bad habit, or just want to feel better in general." - Kim A.

My clients are so cool! This one sent along an update.
She calculated her savings from becoming a non-smoker
by using a website called QuitMeter.com.  PS. Can you imagine...
she would have smoked over 10,000 cigarettes by now if she hadn't become a non-smoker!!!

"I experienced a whole new appreciation for the process of hypnosis... Steve made it seem very easy and handled everything like second nature." - Todd T. "It worked when nothing else did. After trying everything many times to quit smoking with nothing working I decided to try hypnosis... [now] I feel better, people say I look better, and the brown stain on my finger is gone... I smoked for 32 years. I just think about how much better I feel!" - Mark S.

Just kidding, thanks for letting me help you Brian!

"I went to see Steve about a longstanding issue that had affected most of my adult life. I have studied many methods of meditation, self-hypnosis, etc. and even had some success with some of these, but just could not get to my 'core issue'... I felt immediately comfortable with Steve, I must say. He's just a normal, good guy. No hype, no bull. He guided me into trance, and easily got to the heart of my problems and helped me release it over the course of 3 sessions! I'm sure I can be helped further by him, but he lifted such a weight off me, that I can now (as he told me) re-introduce some of my former methods of meditation/self-help --- with even greater success and usefulness! Being able to solve problems in life is very empowering, I gotta say! I don't feel that past issue in my way any longer! I'm more able --- more capable (if you understand this!) It's what I was after... I recommend hypnosis to any and all! I recommend Steve Roh and Center City Hypnosis as the person/place to go!" - C. E. B.

"I was an angry person, desperately angry... and now I don't feel that person there anymore... I wake up and jump up and I feel light... I'm a totally different person... I smile more like I've never done before!... I tried medication, I tried reading books... [hypnosis] was the last straw... and I don't regret it a minute!"

a client who overcame her fear of flying:






Tovah S. reports a "huge improvement"
in overcoming an unwanted habit.




Howard wasn't too sure about giving hypnosis a try, but gave it a shot and found that "it was exactly what I was looking for."




Tina A. describes making "breakthroughs" in her life
with the help of hypnosis.




Like many people, Alexis gave hypnosis a try after getting frustrated with other things that didn't seem to help.




Matt describes how hypnosis not only helped him with nervousness about taking an exam, but also improved other areas of daily life.


"He Was So Calm at His Bar Exam,
He Read the Sports Section of the Paper During Lunch Break!"


I love this story from a recent client who overcame extreme nervousness about taking the bar exam (you can listen to audio clip by pressing the "play" button):


Here are some key things about this client:

  • He was proactive enough to take action and seek help.
  • He was willing to try something new instead of remaining stuck in a frustrating rut.
  • At the beginning, when he felt nervousness coming on, he didn't get discouraged and "throw in the towel".

When someone carries that relaxed attitude of being calm and confident even in high pressure situations, people take notice, just like the story describes. Imagine the impact this could have on your relationships, both personal or professional.

Did You Know?


  • Tiger Woods began mental training using hypnosis at an early age.  According to Golf Digest magazine, he says that hypnosis "is inherent in what I do now."
  • Numerous Olympic and professional athletes use hypnosis as part of their training.
  • Hypnosis is not sleep - you are aware of everything while in hypnosis.

Hypnosis In the News


Business Week, February 2, 2004:
"Although still not well understood, hypnosis has gained credibility in the past five years because of research using the latest brain-imaging technology. PET, MRI, and EEG scans show that hypnotized subjects have altered sensory perception - and they're not just pushovers, play-acting, or highly imaginative."

Scientific American Mind, June 2005:
"Though often denigrated as fakery or wishful thinking, hypnosis has been shown to be a real phenomenon with a variety of therapeutic uses... Over the past few years, researchers have found that hypnotized individuals actively respond to suggestions even though they sometimes perceive the dramatic changes in thought and behavior they experience as happening 'by themselves.'"

Psychology Today, January 2001:
"Can you be hypnotized? Most people like to think that they can't. There is often the suspicion that being hypnotized could label them as being weak-willed, naive or unintelligent. But in fact, modern research shows that hypnotizability is correlated with intelligence, concentration and focus."

Forbes, August 2007:
"Although people think that hypnosis strips a person of control, it actually does just the opposite, said Dr. David Spiegel... associate chairman of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine."

Mayo Clinic, December 2007:
"Hypnosis [is] another way to manage pain, kick bad habits... you're more open than usual to suggestions, and this can be used to change your behavior and thereby improve your health and well-being."

The New York Times, February 2008:
Hypnosis May Ease Common Bowel Pain - "Several studies have evaluated hypnosis for patients with irritable bowel syndrome. In studies involving a total of 644 patients, about 80 percent reported relief of symptoms after hypnosis." [IBS is understood to be closely related to stress]

  • You cannot get stuck in hypnosis.  But some people enjoy the feeling so much that they want to stay in that state!
  • At no time does a hypnotist have control over you. It's like working with a personal trainer at a gym. The personal trainer does not take over your body. Similarly, no hypnotist can take over your mind.
  • Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind; every human is born with the ability to be hypnotized.

The Truth About Hypnosis Credentials


As a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, I follow the NGH Code of Ethics.  Part of this involves educating the public so that you can cut through misleading hype and confusion.

You should be aware that in Pennsylvania and in most other states, hypnosis is not a state-licensed profession. That just means it's not licensed in the same way that accountants, medical doctors or social workers are (for example). 

In fact, anyone can give themselves a title like "Elite Grand Master Clinical Hypnotherapist" in order to impress people, even if their only experience with hypnosis is practicing on friends and relatives as a hobby! 

In the United States, there is no such thing as a Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D. in hypnosis or hypnotherapy from a legitimately accredited institution. Anyone with the ability to write a check can buy a "Doctorate of Clinical Hypnotherapy" (DCH).

While it may give someone an ego-boost to pretend that they are a "Dr." in this way, it is misleading. It's also unfair to people who earn genuine degrees and credentials from years of hard work and dedication.

hypnosis credentials diploma

Unfortunately, it's easy for anyone to buy degrees (in many different subjects) from diploma mills.  When consulting a hypnotist or hypnotherapist who presents themselves as a "Dr." or "Ph.D.", you may want to ask them about the nature of their credential. 

Literally anyone can setup an impressive-sounding accrediting agency at their kitchen table and then call themselves a "fully-accredited" school. Then they can sell degrees to people who sometimes truly believe that they've earned a doctorate or Ph.D. by studying at home over the course of a few weekends.

The US Department of Education maintains a website where you can check if a school which claims to offer academic degrees is approved by a legitimate accrediting agency: http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx

***

To be clear: I am a hypnotist, not a Doctor. Being a professional hypnotist does not qualify anyone to diagnose or treat medical or psychological conditions, unless they are also a state-licensed professional. If you have been formally diagnosed with a disorder or medical condition, I will need a written referral from your healthcare provider to assist you directly with that condition. Contact me for details regarding the referral procedure.

By the same token, a medical doctor, psychologist or therapist does not necessarily have more knowledge, experience or training about hypnosis.

Note: there are legitimate licensed medical, psychological and counseling professionals who use hypnosis as part of their practice. If you are struggling with a serious psychological disorder and are interested in hypnosis as an option, you may be better served by seeking help from a more broadly trained mental healthcare professional. Please feel free to contact me for information on resources.

The Pennsylvania Department of State maintains a website where you can verify a licensed healthcare professional's status if they practice in Pennsylvania: http://www.licensepa.state.pa.us/.  When searching by a person's name, remember that a name may be kept in the state's database with a different spelling (for example, "Joseph" instead of "Joe").   

Why Am I Rocking the Boat?


As you can imagine, some folks who use degrees from diploma mills are not too happy with this information being shared with the public. Why am I making a big deal about this? After all, I could easily play along and buy a degree too. Simple:

  • Having people go around "playing doctor" is a threat to the long-term interests of the profession.
  • Someone could get hurt if they were misled into following advice by a "doctor" whose background consists mainly of watching Dr. Phil and looking stuff up on Google.
  • It's unfair to people who have earned legitimate degrees.
  • I know that hypnosis is a powerful and effective tool, and it's a shame that these fake degrees and laughable titles make people even more skeptical of something that could be so useful to them.

Many people who use these fake diplomas and credentials will justify their use by claiming that they don't believe that "standard" medicine and traditional academic programs have all the answers. I agree with that, and many legitimate doctors and mental health professionals would agree as well!

But I wonder why someone would then feel a need to use an unearned title or degree that makes it appear as if they came from that traditional academic background?

***

Bottom line: credentials in the hypnosis field are largely meaningless. Although I am certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and other organizations which are fairly reputable, the standards for certification are so low that they mean almost nothing. Usually, in order to get certified, one simply has to pass an "exam" that is a couple of pages long with a few multiple choice questions. A large part of the hypnosis industry involves selling training to people who collect various certificates as if they meant something.

But most "certified hypnotists" have little or no actual experience in working with real world clients on a regular basis. Hypnotists who claim to have decades of experience, often really mean something like: they've tried hypnotizing a few friends or family members since they read a book about hypnosis in the 1970's.

The point is, there is no substitute for real world experience with a wide variety of clients and issues. Make sure the hypnotist you choose is as serious about hypnosis as their profession, as you are about getting your problem solved.

Here are some questions you may want to ask in order to evaluate a potential hypnosis service provider:

  • Does the hypnotist earn most of their living from working with individual clients?
  • Do they have a dedicated hypnosis office, or do they run sessions in a spare bedroom or office that they rent out by the hour?
  • How often do they work with clients? This is a better question to ask than "how long" they have been a hypnotist, because most "certified hypnotists" never actually do anything with their training.

Hypnosis is not talk therapy, and does not include advising, diagnosing or prescribing. That would be the domain of other professionals, usually licensed to counsel. The primary aim of hypnosis itself is self-healing, and self change. The hypnotist's job is to assist the subject to achieve those natural states of mind where healing and change best happen... Hypnosis cannot, and should not, stand alone as the sole medical or psychological intervention for any disorder. Hypnosis should not be used instead of appropriate medical, dental, or psychological treatment, and any individual with a medical or psychological problem should first consult a qualified health care provider for diagnosis and professional advice."

As described in the Frequently Asked Questions part of this site, every hypnotist is different. Clients are often best suited for certain styles or approaches. In order to help you determine if my approach is suited for you, please review the matrix below:

Session Information and Fees


Appointments are taken between 10am-8pm, Monday through Saturday.  Sessions are private and conducted at my office two blocks from City Hall in Philadelphia.  

All sessions are recorded, so you can be comfortable knowing that everything will be done appropriately and there are no misunderstandings.  Any recording is kept completely confidential.

In addition to being a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, the largest and oldest hypnotist organization in the world, I am also Pennsylvania's leading 5-PATH Certified Hypnotist. 

5-PATH® is a systematic method of conducting sessions developed by the Banyan Hypnosis Center in California, one of the world's top hypnosis training programs.  5-PATH has been used successfully to help thousands of clients with all types of issues.  Using a step-by-step approach with proven, tested techniques makes it more likely that you will enjoy high-quality, consistent results.

I do not attempt to influence clients with my personal beliefs and interests.  My role as a hypnotist is to help you achieve your goals.  I am not qualified to tell you how to run your life.

 

No-Hassle Guarantee


I guarantee that if you are unsatisfied with your experience at the end of the first session, it will be at no cost to you. We shake hands and part ways, no hard feelings.  This is a straightforward, no-hassle guarantee.

Be careful of other kinds of guarantees that require you to sign a contract with fine print. Here are a couple of "gotcha" details to watch out for:

  • You must promise to follow all the hypnotist’s "lifestyle change" instructions. In other words: if the hypnotist told you to go to the gym every day, and you didn’t, then you're out of luck!
  • You must sign up for more sessions in order to get your "money’s worth". That is a classic use of "weasel words" that can be interpreted in any way that’s convenient.

Common sense tells you that no one can predict or control another human's behavior in the future, so I will not insult your intelligence by promising specific outcomes.

Anyway, what would you think of a doctor who promised that she could heal you, or a stockbroker who guaranteed that he could make you rich, or any other professional who made this kind of promise?  As a lawyer would say: "Past successes cannot guarantee future results". 

 

Free, No-Risk Initial Consultation


At our first meeting, we go through a brief presentation which explains how and why hypnosis can help you.  You can ask any questions and describe your history with the challenge that you want to overcome.  This consultation usually takes around 30 minutes.

Then, you can decide to go ahead with the first session if you feel comfortable, or just take some time to think it over.  If you decide not to go ahead, there is no cost to you, and you still get to learn something new.


The consultation is needed to help give you the facts about hypnosis, because TV and Hollywood have caused most people to have misconceptions about it. And because hypnosis has kind of a strange reputation, it's also a chance for you to make sure that I'm not too much of a weirdo, before moving forward.

In fact, feel free to bring along a friend or relative for the presentation if you'd feel more comfortable (but the actual sessions should be done with just you and I working together).

During the consultation, we identify:

  • The benefits you'd enjoy from making your change. Basically, why you want to change in the first place.
  • How you would know that you're making progress. What sort of feedback you would notice in your daily life.
  • How the change would help you achieve your goals in life. If you don't have any goals already, it'd be good to come up with some. A life without goals is by definition aimless.

Here is a worksheet that can be used to write down these answers: Client Goals and Benefits (Adobe PDF file format). You can fill this out and email or fax it to me, or just bring it with you to save time during the consultation.

 

Simple Fee Structure


Hypnosis is a very efficient way to achieve rapid personal change.  The number of sessions depends on the type of issue you would like to work on.

  • In general, clients achieve desired results within 3 to 5 sessions.
  • Smoking cessation typically requires fewer sessions, and there is a special package available for that issue.


Some people wonder: how can these changes happen so rapidly? Simple- when we do hypnosis together, we get right to the point and all your rationalizations and self-justifying excuses get tossed to the side.
If you're not ready for something like that, my approach may not be right for you.

Hypnosis is one of the most powerful investments you can make in the most valuable resource you will ever have in your life: yourself.

Imagine the tremendous return on investment from making a permanent, positive change that helps you reach your full potential. 

Two easy payment options:

  • A) Set of THREE sessions: $150 per session.
  • B) Pay-as-you-go: $180 per session.

I'm confident that together we can work through your issues rapidly and efficiently, so any sessions after a third session (if needed) are at the substantially reduced rate of $100.

Compare this to the lifetime cost of continuing with your bad habits, fears and self-limiting beliefs.

Ask about discounted rates for students and military veterans. 

Yes, I accept credit cards.

A Personal Note by Steve Roh, Chief Hypnosis Officer


Philadelphia Hypnotist
  


I started Center City Hypnosis because I love how hypnosis can help you alter the "default settings" of your mind.  You don't need to mindlessly accept unwanted thought patterns-- no matter what society, mass media and personal history would have you believe. 

This realization is the first step in achieving freedom of action with a liberated mind. My goal is to help people understand that tools like hypnosis can increase their power and control over their own lives.

As a trained hypnotist, I believe it is my duty to use the skills to help as many people as possible by building a sustainable and growing practice.

I'm 38 years old, a graduate of Temple University, and live in Philadelphia with my wife and cat.

No Slavery But Your Own


When I look out my window, I sometimes think of all the people out there who are struggling within and against themselves, weighed down by the baggage of their unproductive beliefs and self-doubt. I know they’re out there, because I work with them every day.

Some people have a feeling, or maybe just a hope, that there can be a better way than meekly accepting a lifetime of frustration and internal conflict, and decide to take action. I admire anyone who is proactive enough to seek improvement, whether it’s through hypnosis or anything else. They are the ones who are not willing to be part of the "mediocre majority".

To me, the profession of hypnosis is kind of a crusade, or if you prefer, a jihad (in the sense of striving for improvement). You see, one of my favorite stories is that old Kirk Douglas movie Spartacus, about a gladiator/slave revolt during the Roman Empire.

All of us, in some way, are enslaved by our self-limiting beliefs and self-image. Hypnosis is a powerful way for people to stand up as the free men and women they were born to be. If you’ve seen the movie and remember the famous scene where the defeated ex-slaves stand and shout “I’m Spartacus!”, you know what I mean.

If not, you might think I’m nuts (you may anyway). But that’s OK; if you understand what I am saying, that’s all that matters.

PS. One of the ways hypnosis can improve your life is by helping you realize that you don't need to care so much about what other people think.

Please note: even though the work we do together is very efficient, that does not mean that this is an "easy fix". It's not like popping a pill and it's not about listening to a pep talk that makes you feel good for a while. If you're expecting a passive experience where you do not need to put in any effort, then my approach to hypnosis may not be right for you.

Take a listen to David, a client who "turned his life around" by being willing to do the work:


If you've read everything up to this point, that probably means you're ready to make a positive change in your life.  Contact me today to find out how I can help you help yourself.

There will be no high-pressure sales pitch on my part.  Even with the help of hypnosis, you need to be self motivated to get the best results; I don't want to waste my time or yours if you are not already committed to making changes in your life.

As Napoleon Hill said: "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is Time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by Time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!"

Please note: session fees are described on this website, and many other frequently asked questions are answered in the FAQ section. Due to time constraints and a need to operate efficiently, I place a low priority on responding to questions that are already answered by those methods.

Two of the main factors for success in doing this work are:

1) willingness to follow simple instructions, and
2) a certain level of motivation.

If a question demonstrates that the above paragraph was ignored, then this tells me a lot about someone's ability to follow instructions and their willingness to put in even a little bit of effort. After all, if a person is not going to spend 2 or 3 minutes to at least scan a website, how likely is it that they are serious about making an active effort to change their life?

This may seem harsh, but if you think about it, it's fairer for everyone in the long run. This is used as a filtering mechanism so that I can better focus on serving ideal clients. Thanks for your understanding!
