Nikki has helped me tremendously, and I'm so grateful I found her…read more One of the things I appreciate most is that you don't even have to know exactly what you need to work on. She has an incredible ability to help you figure out where certain feelings, emotions, and patterns are coming from and gently get to things that may be buried much deeper than you realize. She has helped me work through past traumas and issues that I didn't even know I was still carrying. I've learned so much about myself through the process and have been able to work through things that were affecting me without me even realizing it. She is warm, compassionate, intuitive, and truly amazing at what she does. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy or simply wants to better understand themselves and work through things that may be holding them back.

Nikki, once again, you are attempting to justify your refusal to issue a full refund, and in doing…read moreso, you have provided information that is inconsistent with the documented facts. First, I did not attend three sessions. I attended TWO. I have included our entire text message exchange, not just selected screenshots, to provide a complete and transparent record supporting my account. Your statement that I attended three sessions is inaccurate. Your continued reliance on incorrect information to justify withholding a portion of my payment is concerning and reinforces my impression that financial considerations have taken priority over client trust and satisfaction. Second, your claim that you were unaware I was still under hypnosis when you attempted to sell me an approximately $2,500 package for my daughter and me directly contradicts what I experienced. You completed your sales pitch while I was still under hypnosis and THEN counted me back out of hypnosis from 1 to 10. I distinctly remember this sequence of events. If you genuinely did not realize I was still under hypnosis, why did you count me back out AFTER completing your sales pitch? How could you have been unaware of my hypnotic state when you were the person responsible for bringing me out of it? Your explanation simply does not add up. In your own response, you acknowledge that I was not fully alert, referring to it as a "hypnotic hangover." As the professional conducting the session, ensuring your client is fully alert before discussing significant financial commitments should be a fundamental responsibility. Third, you reference my positive experience with you ten years ago. That is precisely why I returned, and what makes this experience so disappointing. I specifically sought you out because you had earned my trust a decade earlier. I remembered feeling comfortable and supported in your care. Unfortunately, ten years is a long time, and people change. The professional I remembered was not someone I associated with repeatedly promoting books and expensive treatment packages. During these recent appointments, I was encouraged to purchase your $20 book and subsequently presented with an approximately $2,500 package. I left feeling more like a sales opportunity than a client seeking help. Hypnotherapy requires an extraordinary level of trust. Clients place themselves in a vulnerable position, relying on the practitioner's judgment, integrity, and professional boundaries. That trust should never become secondary to making a sale. There is nothing wrong with running a business or charging for services. My concern is the timing and circumstances surrounding your sales pitch, particularly when I had not yet been counted back out of hypnosis. Your reference to my satisfaction after the first session does not invalidate what happened during the second. Both experiences can be true. Regarding the refund, I discontinued treatment because I no longer trusted you to provide my care. Rather than acknowledging my concerns, you have defended withholding my money by referencing a third session that I maintain never occurred. Your closing remark, "I hope you get the help you need," also comes across as dismissive and unprofessional toward someone who sought your help in good faith. This was never simply about money. It was about ethics, informed consent, professional boundaries, and accountability. I returned after ten years because I remembered someone I trusted. I will never return again because that trust no longer exists. I stand by my review, and I encourage prospective clients to review the documentation and draw their own conclusions. Ultimately, your response has only reinforced the concerns that prompted my review in the first place.

I'm a Marine Combat Vet and I'm not detailing the war or the fight we fight inside ourselves daily. I didnt have to with Dr. Romero either, She was able to see that what I had dealt with needed to be help in order for me to heal. (not saying we didn't open deep wounds and oh man she found them) I learned, every time we were able to meet I could feel something. Which feeling dead inside was what I was used to feeling till one day she took me to healing waters...she showed me paths of continual recovery from my pain which I still use till this day. Thank you Rita

Unlike some professionals who tend to get "burned out" when they have successful and busy practices, Dr. Romero is ALWAYS present and engaged when I see her. She is also very knowledgable about new trends. Most specifically, she recommended a device called Alpha Stim for neuro-cognitive challenges I had. It's has helped immensely. She is also extremely knowledgeable with the language and process of 12 step recovery which is rare and a huge benefit. I highly recommend Dr. Romero.
