She is Seattle's hypnobirthing grande dame, and her passion, experience and knowledge of the techniques she teaches have turned many a doubter (likely most of the male partners in the classroom) into die hard believers of the power of self-hypnosis techniques to attain complete relaxation and control. Most useful for us - especially my husband - was her empowering approach to birth: the birth experience does not have to be terrifying, over-medicalized, or powerless.

Let me stare by saying I was a skeptic about HypnoBirthing. It was my wife who first brought the…read moreidea to my attention. Since completing the class and the birth I have become a convert. It was a wonderful experience and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't say enough about Barbara Decker she is simply amazing. We were lost in the wilderness before we signed up for her HypnoBirthing class at Great Starts. We did our research and found it to be a better deal than elsewhere and the class included Breastfeeding and Newborn Care which others did not. We knew immediately we were in good hands. We were also fortunate enough to have her as our Doula which was priceless. Her energy, attention, guidance was a true gift in the birth of our daughter.

Robert is a natural at this type of work and his ethics are outstanding…read more He is strong and confident in his work while very caring and compassion at the same time. It made total sense to me that he has a background in running security and I found it fitting when he told me that a good day in security was any day that he didn't have to get anybody in trouble. Robert's a great change worker with really extensive training and seems to always know just what to do. I believe he could probably help anyone with just about anything.

I have seen Kira for 3 sessions, and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a…read morehypnotherapist. For privacy reasons, I won't mention the reasons for my seeing her, but I will say I had been feeling "stuck" in my life and other methods of therapy weren't working, so I thought "might as well." She is the first and only hypnotherapist that I have seen, and I found her to be very effective in our work together. Her website is helpful in listing some things she treats- from anxiety to anger to hypnobirthing classes. I began by shooting her an email and discussing what I wanted to work on to make sure she was the right fit. I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later, as she fills up quickly. I had about a 4 wk wait to see her for my first time; then she gets you in regularly as needed. The office itself is comfortable and relaxing. There is plenty of street parking right out front. Kira is always prompt and professional, which I greatly appreciate. I would describe her style as warm, friendly, and caring. She has a calming voice, which I assume is pertinent to the profession. She is also direct and helpful, and she offers tools and recordings to utilize outside of session. I have found them to be useful. But again, it will depend on your reasons for seeing her, as I assume these things vary. Most importantly for me, I leave every session feeling like I learned something new about myself. That is a MUST for me in my journey. I found her prices to be competitive with others. The only downside to hypnotherapy is that insurance doesn't cover it. But on the bright side, you only go in for a few sessions so you're spending less in the long run. I think it's worth the investment. No doubt, Kira deserves 5 stars. I appreciate all of her help and hope everyone else has an equally positive experience with her.

Kira was able to get to the root of my nail-biting and suggest an alternative habit in only one session! I really couldn't believe that one hour could change my life, but it did. I had never before considered hypnotherapy, but Kira is so thoughtful, friendly, and open that after meeting her a few times I knew I wanted to give it a try! I can't recommend Kira more!

I've seen a variety of healers of all types over the years with varying results. Zen's healing sessions are powerful, and I definitely feel different (and better) after she's worked on me. During the sessions, I've experienced a variety of strange and interesting phenomena. Sometimes I see a blob of purple light swirling around in the forefront of my "minds eye". Sometimes I feel very light and other times like I'm sinking into the earth. She has assured me that this is all normal and is just the experience of energy moving and shifting. My favorite sensation is when it feels like my body has disappeared and I drift in and out of a very dreamlike state. It is deeply relaxing and I feel lighter for days afterward. Zen is intuitive, gentle, wise, and well-versed in energy medicine. I'm grateful for the work she's done with me and the obstacles she's helped me clear from my path. If you are ready to make a change in your life and shift into a healthier state of being, I would recommend Zen's healing sessions.

If you have any deep emotional issues or just need to learn to relax more - she can help. Personally I prefer individual sessions - but she also does group sessions. While sometimes I do not flow into a deep trances due to mindset, I still relax. But, I recently had a total knee replacement and her tapes help me relax and sleep! Pain was not felt and it was remarkable. Again, not all people can allow themselves to go deep into their own minds with an aid; but if you have issues or fears or just need to learn to relax deeply - she is the one!

Working with Keridwyn to address my lifelong fear of public speaking was genuinely transformative…read more In my leadership roles, speaking publicly is not optional, yet it has always triggered intense physiological dysregulation for me. Keridwyn provided practical, immediately applicable tools that helped me regain control of my body in high-pressure moments, which alone would have been invaluable. What set her apart, however, was the depth and rigor of her approach. She didn't treat my fear as a surface-level confidence issue; she approached it as a complex, layered pattern shaped over decades. With intellectual precision and care, she helped me understand the underlying drivers of my anxiety and systematically worked through them. No aspect was overlooked. The result was not just improved performance, but a meaningful rewiring of how I relate to public speaking altogether. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I want to be very fair in this review…read more On a personal level, she is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, calm, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. The sessions themselves were relaxing and thoughtfully guided, and I always felt supported and respected during our time together. However, I hired her specifically for weight loss, and unfortunately, I did not lose any weight despite committing significant time, effort, and money to the process. I truly wanted this to work -- but it simply did not produce results for me. I understand that hypnosis may work very well for some people. It just wasn't effective in my case, and I wish I had known sooner so I could have redirected my time and money elsewhere. If you're looking for a caring practitioner and are curious about hypnosis, she may be a good fit. If your primary goal is measurable weight loss, I would recommend going in with realistic expectations and understanding that results are not guaranteed.

Shalynn is extremely professional, articulate, and logical in her approach to working with the subconscious/conscious minds.

After years and years of therapy, its refreshing to find something that produces real progress quickly, simply, and with ease.
