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 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.

Neuro Feedback is like a personal meditation teacher, or a dance or martial arts instructor for your mind, that points out and corrects your form as you train. Your brain is where mind and body come together. Just as you can train your body to build stamina, strength or flexibility, so you can train your brain. For thousands of years, people have used meditation and prayer to change the brain by training the mind. For the past 50 years, though, biofeedback technology has made a much faster and easier option possible: Change the mind by training the brain directly! Neuro-Feedback helps to eliminate: Exhaustion Codependency Anxiety, Stress, Worry Communication issues Loneliness Depression and Sadness Trauma Emotional intimacy Self-esteem issues Trust issues Addicitive tendencies Procrastination

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!

I took a risk by finding this place on Google and decided to check it out 'cause it appeared more…read moreestablished then some of the other hypnotherapy ones I found. The company is conveniently located just over a block from the Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain station. The ambiance of the location is great. Patrick is fantastic at what he does. Very knowledgeable and professional. I had 3 sessions of hypnotherapy for 1.5 hours each time. For my first complementary visit, prior to the sessions, he was very generous of his time and offered great coaching/counselling. I always felt positive and reassured during the sessions and after. Unfortunately, the hypnotherapy didn't work; otherwise, would have been 4 stars if it worked for a short period of time and 5 stars if it worked for longer. The overall holistic experience was worthwhile and maybe more so 'cause the price was covered by my work benefits. Recommended as the hypnotherapy might work for you, plus there are other services available.

So far I have had two hypnotherapy sessions with Kary on two separate issues…read more For both issues, I have experienced major shifts in my life. The first thing that Kary worked with me on was an irrational fear that I just could not seem to shake on my own. The other issue relates to weight loss and the way that I approached eating and fitting in physical activity into my busy schedule. In both cases, what was really effective was that Kary took the time to understand my issue and approach it from a rational standpoint, engaging my conscious mind. After discussing the issue exploring the possible causes of it and solutions, Kary would then hypnotize me, in a process that was extremely relaxing and also very effective. My fear is gone, and I am on my way to meeting my weight loss goals after Kary's hypnosis sessions slowed me down so that I could really take action from a quiet, centered place. Kary's warmth and candid way really helped me to open up and talk about things that I would not normally talk about. I look forward to continuing to work with Kary to produce more positive changes in my life.

It's been a long journey to be where I am at. And the journey started with Rifa. In my book,…read moreCarol's Lives, I had three pages describing my first hypnotherapy experience, and I wrote: "...In that initial moment when I'd first arrived at her office, there had also been a clear and concise voice inside me saying, 'You can do this!'" I didn't mention her name in the book, but that hypnotherapist was Rifa. So here's my long overdue "Thank you" to Rifa! If my memory is correct, I went to see Rifa in March or April 2009 for an LBL session. At that time, I was so new to the hypnotherapy world (in this life anyways). And I had a laundry list of notes for her to address for one session... Now I laugh at my ambition and ignorance. Rifa was so very gentle and kind. Unknown to me at the time, the session opened such a huge doorway for the rest of my life. Thank you Rifa from my heart, my mind, and my soul!

She then followed up with another email 2 weeks later containing a questionnaire with a bunch of questions, some of which were really vague. I filled out the info that appeared relevant and didn't provide info to the more general questions (samples: Favorite thing? Most scary thing? What makes you laugh? ). When i queried why she needed this info she cancelled the appointment with no explanation other than "After serious Soul searching and consideration I came to conclusion that I am a wrong person to facilitate a session for you" Don't waste your time, found her to be unprofessional and flaky.
