Many so-called hypnotists can be charismatic charlatans, but Dr.Aziz sets you up for success independently with his practice after the sessions which sets him apart from the rest. He's professional, efficient and also generous with his time and techniques- that sets him apart from the rest in the industry and now that the power of hypnosis has become popular online. You will own your mp3/sessions- this is empowering and important. You have to trust his process. Even if you are skeptical, it will be effective. His method is holistic, scientific and practical. Quitting smoking was never easier when I used his services years ago. My closest friend and family were surprised too! The truth is for any issue being healed through hypnosis, you may have to re-enforce it at times it for it to be lifelong fix/progress. Life happens and there may be set backs, but since you will own the sessions, because you do get what you paid for and he's not a con-artist like many in the field - it's a lifetime gift!

My situation was a little bit different. I was not a full-time smoker, which I think is an important detail for anyone thinking their situation is unique. I've been a social smoker for years. If I've had a few drinks and someone around me was smoking, I've always given myself permission to smoke along with them. I'd tell myself I wouldn't do it again, but it was always a different story when in the situation. I walked away from hypnotherapy thinking that there was no way that it worked because I honestly didn't feel like it did anything at all, but something definitely happened and I no longer smoke. If you're considering this at all, I highly recommend it. Dr. Kazi is a literal life saver.

That's because I remembered that I had gone to her back in 2014 during a very tough time in my life. I was going through marital problems and I was torn on whether I should stay in the marriage or to leave it. I was conflicted in a big way, but Alexa helped me get clear on what my heart really wanted, and encouraged me to 'lean in'. I had been terrified at the thought of leaving the marriage, but our session gave me the courage to ask for a separation (and eventual divorce) that had been overdo. It was a much needed decision and both my ex and I are better for it today. I'm grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her.

I've done Reiki a couple of times before but never felt a huge difference. With Deborah, it was different. During the session, Deborah asked questions to understand my needs and concerns. She was positive and warm, and made me feel very comfortable. She also introduced me to flower essences, which I hadn't heard of prior. During the healing session, I yawned a lot (like I was releasing a lot of repressed energy!). Afterwards, I felt relaxed - it was clear that the session truly worked although it wasn't done in person, which I was a little nervous about at first. Deborah also quickly followed up after our session with additional information and promptly responded to a follow up question I had about flower essences. It's been four days since our session, and my chronic neck pain that I've had for 10 weeks is significantly better - in a way my chiropractor couldn't help. I'm really glad I made the investment in my healing session with Deborah and now understand why she has so many positive, genuine reviews (she's not compensating us or giving us discounts to write these, like some businesses do!). I'm very grateful to have found Deborah - she is truly gifted.

I've been struggling with insomnia for about a year and have tried all sorts of things - eventually looking skeptically into hypnosis. Working with Craig felt relatively riskless. You schedule a 30 minute initial consult (free) and get to ask him everything you'd like to ask in order to feel confident in your decision. He's also a wealth of knowledge on consciousness/awareness and I was able to explore his philosophy on how he approached his work and how it related to my healing. Whatever you're paying, you're getting more than fair value. On the initial consult, I think he spent about an hour just answering all my questions. During actual session, he again spent more than the allotted time discussing things with me. As far as the outcome of our work together, I've been sleeping very normally since our session and he's sent me a recording of our work so that I can revisit it whenever I need it.

I went to Selena because I have been trying, for several years, to get pregnant. Even with the help of fertility treatments, it still wasn't happening. The doctors called it on "explained infertility." Meaning there was no clear medical reason why it wasn't happening. I bought a 12 pack of sessions and by the 11th session I was pregnant! Does it get better than that! It will change the way you think about life and be a useful tool to help make all your dreams come true. I highly recommend Selena and Empowered Hypnosis. (Even though I bought a 12 pack from Selena I could use the sessions with any therapist. Caterina, who is also Reiki healer, did two of my sessions. She was wonderful and exactly the energy I needed the day before my transfer.)

Additionally, and far worse, after we "agreed" what would be discussed/worked on in the therapy, she just decided to do her own thing and tried to convince me my "mother" abused me (despite being raised by a single father) and that's why I have anxiety. It was traumatizing to have a "professional" lie to me like that in a position as vulnerable as hypnosis. A red flag is that she kept using the word "repeat customer" to describe her regular patients. I don't believe she sees her clients as people to help, but as cash cows that she takes advantage of.
