Debi is a phenomenal hypnotist, instructor and healer. I took her 100hr course training course and…read moreit was packed with practical meets magical, and the level of healing I directly experienced was in and of itself totally worth it! I thoroughly enjoyed Debi's teaching by example--including her hypnosis stories speckled throughout class that were profoundly inspiring-- and the practice of guiding classmates into hypnosis and using client-centered coaching was very valuable. We each got to experience a full healing session from Debi during the course as well which was wonderful! Debi is THE hypnotist instructor to study under. Her multifaceted experience and ability to accommodate so many unique clients is telling of her mastery of hypnosis. I can't wait to drop back in to audit and learn more from Debi! She is the REAL deal. Highly recommended!

I was truly stunned to discover how effective Debi's hypnotherapy would be. While it would be…read moresimpler to say that the hypnosis alone was singularly effective, it was Debi herself who made our work extraordinary. Whether or not you lean towards traditional therapudic philosophy, or are open to a more spiritual mindset, Debi's patience, kindness, and open heart make room for lasting healing and personal growth without fear or judgement. It was through our work together that I found the strength to claim agency over my health and we'll being, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Debi!

Let me start by saying...I get that some people are a bit weary on hypnotherapy. You see a movie…read moreand someone waves a pocket watch in front of you and then puts you in a hypnotic state in 2 minutes and next thing you know, you are clucking like a chicken. LOL! Rest assured, that is NOT what hypnotherapy is like AT ALL! LOL! Sandra is truly one of the most beautiful, caring people I have ever met! From our first email, text and even first session, I felt like I was talking to a long time friend, where you can be candid, laugh, cry and just be yourself which allows you (and Sandra) to hone in on what you'd like out of your session. My first and second sessions were AMAZING! :) I felt calm, safe and optimistic that with Sandras guidance and wisdom I would reach the barriers in my subconscious that were preventing me from being my best self and Sandra did not disappoint!! I was guided to not only the barriers, but Sandra gave me the confidence to remove them and create a clear path to my best self! I left both sessions feeling light, happy and confident. It's a feeling that is so deeply embedded in me that I feel like I'm walking on air! Sandra couldn't have chosen a better name for her practice because my sessions were truly Transformational!

I've seen Sandra a total of 3 times so far and each healing session has been phenomenal. I hadn't…read moredone hypnotherapy before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did two trauma healing sessions and one past life regression. It's as if my brain has been reprogrammed. My experience: Before the session, we discussed what I'd like to work on. Then when she starts, I gradually fall into a deep hypnogogic state. Her voice gets further away and it's as if my body/subconscious takes over and responds to her suggestions. After our sessions, I noticed that I was starting to process trauma that had been too painful/buried to do so consciously through other therapy methods. I'm starting to adopt healthier behavioral patterns, moving with more fluidity, and am slowly regaining my agency and my voice.I highly recommend Sandra, especially if you're dealing with trauma that feels too deep to reach with regular talk therapy. - Sophi D

I began working with Jessica after the birth of my first child while struggling with postpartum…read moredepression. The transition into motherhood felt overwhelming--between the loss of autonomy, resentment about the workload expected of mothers, and the sense that my world had been turned upside down, I felt stuck. Through coaching with Jessica and participating in her Well Nourished Woman groups, I learned to check in with my body and needs, redefine what "good enough" looks like, and uncover patterns that were keeping me from moving forward. Now, having just completed the "fourth trimester" with my second daughter, my postpartum experience has been completely different. I felt resourced, supported, and able to fully experience the joy of mothering while also tending to my own needs. The ease I felt this time around would not have been possible without Jessica's wisdom and encouragement. She often says, "What is good for the mother is good for the family." That has proven true in my own life--her support hasn't just changed my experience of motherhood, it has positively impacted my whole family. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any mother seeking support in this transformative season.

I'm so thankful for her support throughout the last few years and I just hope others will benefit from her amazing care. I go to the Pleasanton clinic and love the convenience of locations.

I started going to see Kay around April 2019 for stomach pain and associated back pain (that would…read morenot go away after trying everything with my doctor) after reading how hypnosis can help with pain management. I liked Kay right off the bat! She's gives off a very calm and friendly vibe and is wonderful to talk too. I enjoyed our sessions a lot. Talking through my issues was nice and getting her take was helpful. The sessions were very relaxing as well. What I regret was not taking the audios seriously. I should have listened to them every day to get the benefit but I neglected that. I think that was why I didn't really think hypnosis was fully for me. It helped but not as much as I hoped. Forward to April 2020. I got infected with Covid in March and was dealing with many symptoms that would not go away. One of them was horrible acid reflux. I've had acid reflux in the past but this was 20x worse! Diet and medicine weren't helping and Kay texted me to check in with how I was doing (perfect timing!). I figured why not try hypnosis again and see. We had our session via FaceTime. I really liked doing it via FaceTime bc I could do it from the comfort of my couch or bed. No looking for parking or driving to SF. I stopped the medicine but continued to eat GERD friendly and listened to the audio we made 3x a day. My acid reflux went away! I just had to be diligent. I then developed another covid symptom a week or so later which was horrible headaches and nerve pain. I had another session with Kay and my symptoms improved. A couple of weeks later I stated having chest pains and heart palpitations, which is think was because I was too plugged into social media surrounding covid. My anxiety went through the roof. I could not stop being anxious. It was really really bad. My heart was racing so much all day. I had a session yesterday and I'm already feeling less anxious. My heart rate is going back to normal and I'm so grateful to Kay. I was considering taking anxiety meds and but I'm glad I tried Kay first. I think it's a combination of talking it through with Kay and doing the therapy that really helped. She really is amazing at what she does and I recommend her to anyone dealing with either physical or mental issues.

Kay is the real deal. She helped me navigate a challenging moment in life when I was at a…read morecrossroads. I got a lot out of only a handful of sessions together--she was immediately helpful and never pressured me to engage in any sort of long term engagement, which I really appreciate. I have new tools I was able to put to immediate use, but more than that, her insightful questions and active listening helped me find the clarity I was seeking. I cannot recommend her enough. P.S. this was written by a real actual human :)

Shannon is a wise and sensitive soul…read more My doctor referred me to Shannon to help me better handle life with a chronic medical condition. From our first session, Shannon approached me with kindness and genuine curiosity. During our time together, she guided me into the inner reaches of my body and mind with patience, openness, and compassion. I had never tried hypnotherapy before my sessions with Shannon. In fact, I went in as a skeptic, but I found Shannon's approach to be powerful and grounded in deep truths. More insights were revealed to me in my couple of months with Shannon than I'd uncovered in the combined years of talk therapy that I've done in the past. Forget what you think you know about hypnotherapy, and take the leap. With Shannon, you're in good hands.

I initially went to Shannon with the intention of working through the physical, mental, and…read moreemotional challenges that come with Long Covid and chronic fatigue. This was my first time doing hypnotherapy so I was a bit nervous to start, but Shannon did a great job explaining to me the process of hypnotherapy and listened intently to what I wanted to work on. After doing a series of sessions with her, I have noticed myself feeling less weighed down by the feelings of sadness and frustration that were so constant for me, and instead moving towards happiness and living the life I want to live. I feel happier day-to-day and more resilient on my hard days. Ultimately, working with Shannon has changed my perspective on life and allowed me to connect with parts of myself I was not even aware of. Shannon is the real deal!

I decided to see Melanie to pursue answers of a different nature to a recent epilepsy diagnosis…read more Since beginning my hypnosis treatment, she has become an integral part of my team of doctors and healers, and has helped me immensely in my own personal spiritual guidance. Upon meeting her, I instantly felt comfortable. She is down to earth, intuitive, and not without humor! She stands firmly in both the spiritual and the "everyday" world. I have never felt pressure to be or say anything other than what has occurred in our sessions, and I was surprised by how easily my heart, mind, and soul responded and opened to her kind, direct, and clear guidance. Since having sessions with Melanie, I have been able to identify my personal spiritual guides and use their assistance to help me in everyday life, including becoming more in touch with my body and neurological health. Holistically, my health has also changed for the better, and I feel more confident, aware, energetic, and more versed in self-care. I can't recommend Melanie highly enough!

From the moment I met Melanie I was drawn to how solid and grounded she is. She feels almost…read moreconnected to the earth's core. Instantly, I felt that I could be completely open and honest with her. She made me feel safe enough to bring issues to the surface that I had long kept buried, almost unaware they were even there, impacting my life in ways great and small. Melanie has been instrumental in helping me to shift my relationship with my parents, which has been a revelation, as well my relationship with myself. I feel I know myself better, am more honest about my inner strengths, more deeply in touch with my inner wounding. As a therapist, I experience Melanie walking beside me, subtly guiding me in and out of the inner spaces I need to visit and explore. I am grateful for this opportunity to work with Melanie and foresee a brighter future for myself and my loved ones because of her insight and empathy. I am excited to know that others will now have the same opportunity at transformation that I have had.
