More than just a good listener, Ian will focus on core issues and assist the client in understanding them from both clinical and cultural perspectives. Ian is not one of those professionals who got a degree and then stopped learning. He reads widely in his own field and is able to cite the sources that support his recommendations. The quality of my life has improved as a result of his advice.

I had a wonderful session yesterday with Kemila. After the appointment, I was eager to jot down all…read morethe points that really hit home for me in my notes. In the evening last night, although I experienced symptoms, they were interestingly less intense! I felt more collected even through to this morning. I'll continue to see Kemila for a while. I believe she's bringing forth a part of me that I have been searching for for a long time. Thank you Kemila for more zest in my life.

I booked a consultation with Kemila on zoom. I waited but she didn`t turn up,…read moreI emailed to ask her why she wasn`t there. I received a very curt and quite aggressive email to say that I turned up at the wrong time.{ I turned up at the time I had booked for} I live in the UK so there is a time difference between Canada and UK. She hasn`t offered me another appointment so I have essentially paid her for a service that she hasn`t given me. I haven`t even met her but she doesn`t come across as a very caring person but just someone who only cares about money.

I have been a patient of Dr. Halparin for over 20 years. I saw him once in the downstairs pharmacy…read morebut he did not acknowledge me. During my next appointment (way back when) I asked him why. He said because of the nature of his specialty some of his patients preferred not to be acknowledged publicly. It was incomprehensible to me that anyone who could literally save your life would have to consider that. Aside from his technical skills, I have appreciated his forthright approach, respectful manner, subtle underlying strength and sense of humour. I also have appreciated the support of his staff from the assistant at the office to the nurses at the procedures and in the recovery area. It is probable that if I had not seen Dr. Halparin and been comfortable enough under his care to see him every few years ,I may not have been around to see my grandchildren May I repeat the slogan "Don't be embarassed to Death." Find a Dr. that you trust and take care of business. Respectfully Sandra A.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety for many years. I am so grateful that the challenging…read moreprocess of finding someone in which I feel safe to do therapeutic work is over.

Jon is professional, inviting, and calm. He is easy to talk to and encouraging through my sessions.

I have been going to Tess for over a year now, and I have seen a subtle, yet LIFE CHANGING effect…read morefrom the neuro feedback sessions. No only has it allowed me to cope with my various anxieties, it has brought a sense of calm and serenity in my life. The biggest affect it has had on me is with my studying. I could hardly focus for more than 15 minutes, and I would find myself reading the same sentence over and over, and never retaining information. However, after the neuro feedback I am a machine!! I can focus for 8 hour stretches and retain information better than ever before! And lastly, the best part of the sessions is Tess herself. She has not only become a friend to me, but also my pseudo-therapist. I highly recommend Neuro Feedback for anyone with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, ADD, or for people who just need to chill out.

He is a good eye surgeon and he knows what he is doing. I will not see any other eye surgeons except for him and Dr. Cline. Sure, he isn't sunshine and rainbows, but he wants the best for his patients. He's super busy and has no time for chit chat. His staff are friendly and informative, you can always call if there's a concern or question.

The usual disclaimer applies...I only review things I really, really like OR dislike. And while…read moresome may say that writing a favourable review for my partner's company is as biased as it gets, well...yes. If you know me, you probably know that I'm about as analytical and evidence-based as you can get. So the idea of hypnosis as something that can bring relief to people without physical intervention is one that I'm going to need proof on. The thing is, I HAVE benefited from hypnosis. About three years ago, I cut myself really badly by doing something really stupid--I tried to pry up the drain cover in the shower with my bare hands. Seems really sensible, right? The cuts went really deep into my two index fingers, and required several stitches and many weeks to heal. I do have nerve damage though. All of that, I can live with. What I COULDN"T live with was the images passing through my mind of looking down at my fingers, embedded in the shower grate, dripping blood. My mind would flash back to the image, many times a day. It was affecting my concentration, my sleep, and my ability to be calm. I eventually realized that this was post-traumatic stress. PTSD. No different than reliving a car accident, or any other traumatic condition where you have to face something that you'd rather not. And I couldn't get it to stop. Eventually, once I realized what I was dealing with, I asked Valerie to hypnotize me and help me deal with the PTSD. In one 45 minute session, I no longer think about the horror. I can look at my scars without flashing back, and the overall sensation is one of remembering, but not like I am still there. This was about 4 years ago, and I recall how it felt, but it's clearly in the past. Flash forward to now, and Val has relaunched her hypnotherapy practice, but will now be focussing on treating people with early-stage dementia, as well as anyone who is interested in hypnosis as prevention. I can tell you right now, it works, and it's worth looking into.

If you have issues with public speaking, Val's your gal. I had a session with Val before facilitating a multi-day workshop, and I went from being very nervous, to feeling relaxed, confident and capable. Of course, you have to do the work, practice and follow up, but Val works with you to get you to the place you need to be. Val has a proven track record for smoking cessation hypnosis. Even though hypnosis is based in science, I think Val might be pure magic in this department. If you are serious about quitting smoking, she'll get you there. I can't say enough good things about Sound Mind!
