I met Marisa in the midst of a recent dark time when my old companion, Anxiety, came calling, and…read morebrought a new friend, Panic Attack. Meeting Marisa proved to be a lifesaver. Her intelligence, knowledge, competence, confidence, kindness, and humor provided the help, support, and treatment I needed to start rebuilding. Hypnoacupuncture gave me relief and a new direction: as the acupuncture works on the present anxiety and physical body, the hypnosis works on the future by directing the subconscious mind. Marisa honed in on where I wanted to go next. In this way, she's like the coach you didn't know you needed; a good coach helps you move forward in such a way as to shorten the learning curve. As Marisa brings her top game, she carries her patients along with her. Since receiving treatments, I've learned to reallocate the anxious energy and use it more effectively and productively. I'm back to chasing my goals and dreams in ways I haven't previously. I thank Marisa daily for her talents and her magic.

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

It is readily evident that Carla is an expert in her field. In addition to being articulate and confident, Carla is attentive, intuitive, and nonjudgmental. It is clear that she has every intention to facilitate the best results for each client, as well as the capacity to do it! You will relax knowing you are in a safe pair of hands. Results are a definite! Carla gave me the tools to continue to thrive, and capitalize on the session independently, in between our appointments! I left feeling clear, confident, empowered, and relieved of any of the stressors which initially drew me in to schedule a session. As I said, I am amazed with the progress I've already experienced right away, after only one session. Speaking of leaving the session, Carla had mentioned during our appointment that I may see a sign as soon as I leave. I left and, en route to meet a friend near by, I actually missed my turn. Rerouting to find my way, I saw a very specific sign that was very relevant to the exact situation I came to Carla for assistance with! Needless to say, I am eager for my next appointment! And the friend I was going to meet? Of course, I recommended Hemisphere Hypnotherapy to her immediately.

One of my clients was so fearful she could barely get on her horse. However, this client's deep desire to ride so outweighed her fears that she went to Carla for help. While my work with this client helped a bit over the months of teaching her, it was clear that once Carla stepped in this woman's progress was brilliant. Not only was she able to get on her horse, but she moved towards her dreams of riding at an advanced level. Carla's work with her was truly a remarkable intervention. Jane Karol

It's not so much the technique that drew me though as it was the man behind the operation. I mean, he flies hot air balloons for fun... you gotta have some kid of moxie to pull that off, right?? The quiet confidence and unwavering courage that Bob exudes is undeniable. I could tell from the limited exposure I had of him at business networking meetings that he was offering a better brand of "Know thyself," and I so desperately needed a hefty dose of that intangible quality in my life at the time. Bob offers all kinds of assistance. In fact, whatever tool you need to help you conquer that mountain in your life that has become an insurmountable obstacle, he will equip you to blow it up with dynamite or make it into something you can live with by the mere power of his words. All he said to me was, "Yes, you can!" And my life changed forever. I was struggling with a specific force of controlling person in my life that had far more power over me because I had relinquished it unknowingly. Bob listened with heart of a lion and tenderness of a shepherd then made the most liberating remarks that allowed me to break the emotional relational dam of my own making. He was the "big brother" that fought for me with liberating thoughts and responses (ones that I hadn't allowed myself to think due to the potential fallout in my world). Essentially he gave me a safe place to dare my limitations and fears away. He can do the same for you!

Not only is her practice setting relaxing, but she also provides a welcoming environment to guests. Let's face it, needles can be scary, especially when the needles are being applied by a stranger! Allison knows this, and during our first consultation session asked a number of questions to ease my worries. It's not a surprise to my friends and family that I'm a workaholic, and my body is definitely taking a toll, but with Allison's help, my body is slowly healing the trauma that I've caused it. I sit at my desk all day, and staring at the screen causes me intense migraines, but after seeing Allison for the last 5 months, my migraines have improved dramatically. Not just that, I'm sleeping better, too! Allison is a skilled professional, caring, and kind. If you're looking for an acupuncturist, look no further - she's got your back!
