What an amazing life changing experience I've had with Stephanie. Besides being a sweet, caring person who's attentive to you're needs, she's amazing at what she does. I started with her a completely different person than I am now. Words cannot describe how grateful I am. I've been needing this change in my life for years..decades. It's finally here. Thank you Stephanie; a million times over. read more

Hi, my name is Shannon, and I have a needle phobia. No one ever took it seriously when I was a kid, so I didn't take it seriously as an adult...until I became pregnant and couldn't avoid it anymore. I cried when the midwife told me I'd absolutely need to have blood drawn, there really wasn't a way around it, and the next day I called Stephanie Voss. If I was going to have to do this, I wanted to do this with as little fear as possible. Stephanie was a joy to work with. For the first time, my fears were validated and I felt understood. Over the course of three sessions, she helped me get to the root of the problem, honor it, and move forward. She also gave me confidence to be open about my fears and not ashamed of them, so I can better communicate what my needs are to medical professionals. Since I finished my sessions with her, I've had my blood drawn twice with no fear. I used to go white as a sheet, sweaty palms, on the brink of a panic attack just thinking about getting my blood drawn, and today I had the option of getting it done now or waiting a week, and I said, "Yeah, let's do it!" Who am I?! Haha! I use tools like lidocaine patches, fun distracting music, and deep breathing, but I go in knowing they're trying to help me, not hurt me, and that's thanks to Stephanie. Hypnotherapy with her felt like a combination of therapy and deep meditation. It's not nearly as "woo woo" as I expected, it was a very practical mental health service that benefited me deeply. If you have any roadblocks in your life, I'm positive Stephanie can help you move them out of the way. read more

I went in to see Stephanie for my addiction to smoking. We had 3 sessions and I was very anxious because of a trip abroad I had to take with family. I still had the urge to smoke but with my willpower and things that she taught me, I'm proud to say I have completely quit smoking. It is definitely not something that happens overnight, it requires dedication, patience, and follow through from ourselves before anything can happen. Thank you, Stephanie and Happy Holidays. read more

MIRACLE, PRAYERS ANSWERED, REALLY HONESTLY WORKS. DONT HESITATE DO IT Was SEVERELY addicted to Sugar, Candy, Soda, Cupcakes, Bread, Flan, Rice Pudding EVERYTHING Sugar. I tried AA, I tried eating groups, I tried pills I tried shakes I tried it all and failed time and time again. This was my last chance to Quit Sugar, before it slowly kills me. Afraid and Doubtful and worried my brain wouldn't shut up I went in with just a tad of hope. After an hour and a half I came out stronger than I've ever been and after my 2nd session I felt invincible. Sugar has nothing on me. Stephanie helped me kick it out of my life for good. She helped me save my life. I repeat, this is your best decision, Stephanie can help you help yourself. Love yourself and treat yourself to Hypnosis. I wish we could let everyone have Hypnosis it would save so many lives. read more

I had spoken to Stephanie on the phone and she seemed a good fit. I know hypnosis works and had high hopes for my smoking cessation to be finalized with her. It initially went well, but I could tell during the hypnosis part of the session that she was distracted. It seemed like she was reading her email or something like that. The hypnosis was very disjointed, the blinds were cracked open and the room too bright. Part of my brain was trying to figure out what was going on rather than focussing in on what I was there for. It didn't feel right. Then the session was over and I felt disoriented, and she mentioned something about circling the car once before I got in to drive, and she had the door open. I was grabbing one of my business cards to give her when she said something along the lines of we can't do this while pretty much shoving me out the door. Wow - the bum's rush. It was a waste of my very hard earned money, and incredibly rude. I will be starting all over again and I will choose very, very carefully next time. What a shame to be treated in that manner. read more

I can describe Stephanie in 2 words. LIFE SAVER. I have been suffering from anxiety and a disorder called Trichotillomania for over 15 years and nothing has ever helped me until I decided to give hypnotherapy a try and I found Stephanie. She has literally answered my prayers. She has done what doctors and medications couldn't do. She not only stopped me from my anxiety/OCD disorder but she literally helped me gain my confidence back. I recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs help. I am so grateful for her that no words can ever express how thankful I am. If you are searching for a hypnotherapist she is the person to go to! read more

I had been deathly afraid of needles, including shots or blood being taken, for as long as I could remember. It's safe to say that I had a complete phobia of needles. I had only had my blood taken twice in my entire life, and both times I ended up fainting, and not being able to be woken up. Once my husband and I started talking about trying for a baby, I knew that I would have to address this fear. I wasn't sure what to do, but having been a dedicated meditater for the last several years, I decided to try hypnotherapy. I began the journey by searching for a hypnotherapist in my area, and luckily came across Stephanie through Yelp. After some additional research, I reached out and quickly scheduled my first session. From the moment I met Stephanie, I immediately felt comfortable with her, and could tell she was passionate about her specialty. The first time we met she spent a long time just listening to me, and asking questions about why I was pursuing therapy, and what I was trying to accomplish. I am happy to say that after only a few sessions I was able to conquer my fear! Luckily, a few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I scheduled another session about a week before my 12 week doctors appointment when I knew I would have to give my first blood for prenatal testing. I am delighted to report that I was not only successful at giving blood on the first attempt, but I was extremely calm through the entire procedure. My husband couldn't believe the change in my demeanor, as he had gone with me several times in the past to attempt to get my blood taken. Every time I had tried in the past, I would leave screaming and crying, defeated, and traumatized. He was honestly in shock, and so was I. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to have my blood taken. I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough! I plan to do more sessions in the future to address public speaking. Although, I do feel comfortable speaking in public, I would love to gain more confidence to better my career. Thank you so much Stephanie from my husband and I, and our future baby! read more

I cannot put into words how incredibly grateful I am for Stephanie. I had been a moderate daily smoker for almost 20 years. I tried multiple quitting methods including "The Easy Way", nicotine gum and going cold turkey but nothing clicked. I friend told me about Stephanie and her hypnosis practice and that she had become a non smoker after a couple of sessions with Stephanie. I had nothing to lose and so much to gain. As skeptical as I was- I tried it anyway. From my very first session I was a non-smoker. I can't explain it but it worked and I can't believe I smoked for so many years. I have no cravings and the thought of smoking disgusts me. I've been a non smoker for 3 months now and I feel incredible. I haven't gained any weight and I sleep so much better. Stephanie is so warm and kind and made me feel at ease from the get go. I'm so glad this worked for me and I hope you consider her if you are struggling with smoking. read more

Initiative, Calming, Deeply Caring and Work Wonders These are the adjectives I would use to describe Stephanie and her practice. I went to Stephanie since I had many negative feelings about my employment situation. I was anxious, fearful, angry and hopeless to the point that I found myself confronting colleagues frequently. It was not only harmful to the relationships I have built with them over the years, it was also damaging my own reputation, image and professionalism. I understand and do believe our subconscious mind is far more powerful than our conscious mind. Every action stems from our thoughts. Our mind-set governs our behaviors. Our behaviors drive results. I know if I want to a different result, I must work on my mind first. I had experienced hypnotherapy in the past with great success. What set Stephanie apart from my previous therapist is that she is extremely personal. Her caring shown through her words, her tones, her time spent on me. She never let me hanging with doubts and questions. She doesn't use the same cookie cutter method for everyone comes through her door. She listens patiently and customizes the session just for me each time. Her choice of words is fascinating. She always finds the most appreciate word to sum up what I have scrambled and tried to tell her for the past 10 minutes. Her special words had hit the right spot and shock my core many times. I have always been impressed by her initiation and skills as well. She is like a well-known surgeon equipped with the most advanced 3D laser scanner that can see through me. Through her calming voice, I can easily enter the deepest relaxation to be in-touch with my subconscious to help surface the root cause of my issues. She then provides me with effective techniques to shift my thought process and provides me with suggestions that are positive and actionable. One time during the deep relaxation session, she asked if I felt any discomfort in any part of my body. I told her I felt a knot in my stomach caused by anger and unfairness in my work-place. After the session, I literally felt the knot had disappeared. She also taught me techniques to practice daily for self-hypnosis between and after the sessions. I had total of 4 sessions with Stephanie and had emailed her between sessions to clear things up. I am still a working progress, but do feel more calm, content and hopeful. I would refer Stephanie to anyone who is interested in tapping into the power of their subconscious mind to shift their believes, alter their mind-set and remove the road blocks that keep them from reaching their highest potential. read more

I am very glad I made the leap and decided to see Stephanie for hypnotherapy to quit smoking. I have been smoking on and off for 20 years and it was about time to stop. My first session was 3 months ago, and I am happy to say I have not had a single puff since. Stephanie is talented, sincere, and very compassionate and understanding. I tend to be awkward with people I don't know, but she made me feel comfortable and welcome right off the bat. What she does is quite magical. I am truly grateful for her. :) read more

I tried hypnosis for the first time last week, and I'm glad I chose Stephanie at Voss Hypnotics. After one session I feel so much more in control than I have in a long time with eating. It feels like a real mental shift and I am looking forward to seeing how this change of mindset works carrying forward. I hope to go again to Stephanie in the future. read more

I went to Stephanie to stop smoking. That was 11 years ago! Now I'm back to battle portion control for eating and I notice a difference after just one session. If you're looking for a straightforward down to earth hypnotist who understands your demons, Voss is the one for you. read more

I had no idea what to expect when I had my first session with Stephanie, but I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and went in anyway. She is by far one of the most gifted and intuitive people I have ever met. I've been working with Stephanie for several months now on my fertility journey, and I can honestly say that she has changed my life in profound ways. Doing hypnotherapy with her is like inviting this beautiful person to go inside your brain and gently rewire old connections that do not serve you or no longer have to exist. Bad habits have fallen away, self care has taken on new meaning, and I am able to focus on and believe in what I want, instead of what I don't want. She has lead me to explore images in my mind that I can hold onto, and through her guidance I have found a new inner strength. Stephanie is incredibly good at what she does. Her voice, her energy, her insight, her compassion, her kindness, her humor, how she goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and to understand who you are and how she can best reach you. Whether you are interested in hypnotherapy for quitting smoking or weight loss or getting pregnant or just simply to enhance your life, I can't think of a better person to go see and to trust. I've don't think I've ever been more relaxed or more at peace as when I walk out of her room! She has taught me skills that I use everyday, and her support has made all the difference. I couldn't recommend her more :) read more

Stephanie Voss is an extremely talented and gifted therapist who cares deeply about her patients and strives to help those struggling with many types of issues. Her compassionate, warm and deeply comforting personality, mixed with a true commitment for helping others, makes her the best hypnotherapist I have ever gone to. She has helped me immensely with a variety of emotional and mental issues stemming from childhood trauma and I give her my highest recommendation for anyone seeking a professional and wonderful hypnotherapist. She is simply the best. read more

Stephanie Voss is a skilled and caring hypnotherapist. She's helped me with anxiety, claustrophobia and fear of flying and she helped my boyfriend overcome an allergy to our two cats (who now sleep with us every night). I was nervous at my first session, not knowing what to expect. My mind was racing, my muscles were twitching and I thought I'd never relax. Stephanie's calming voice and presence put me at ease (as did the insanely comfortable reclining chair in her office). The stories she told and imagery she described really spoke to me and my particular situation. It was like being told a bedtime story that was custom made just for me... but instead of falling asleep, I became more and more comfortable and relaxed. Wow, what a great feeling! Stephanie also showed me a number of techniques that I could use on my own to help relax and control my anxiety (on a plane, in a car, in an elevator, etc.). I've used them and they've made a huge difference in my life. read more

Don't think twice about this decision! Stephanie is a wonderful, kind, caring, person with a wonderful energy, who has great skill and talent in hypnotherapy! My husband and I decided that we wanted to do a hypnobabies childbirthing class to prepare for our first childbirth in December, and although my husband was a bit hesitant at first, towards the end of the class, he ranted and raved about Stephanie the same way I have! She uses techniques to help you relax and focus on the end result....which is what you want.....not what you are afraid of. We originally hired a doula to assist us with our birth, and unfortunately, that situation did not work out. We would be so blessed to have Stephanie as our doula or just as our friend :) She makes snacks and bakes too!!! Yummy :) read more

I heard about Stephanie because my company pays for smoking cessation, and she's the one they pay for. I was kind of nervous letting someone root around inside my head, but Stephanie put me at ease immediately. She asked me questions about whether I wanted to quit smoking, and when. She had me relax and just spoke reasonably and rationally... and I walked out without any cravings! I was a pack-a-day smoker for 20 years, and am now a non-smoker of 3 months... Not a single craving, no mood swings, no weight gain, no symptoms of withdrawal at all! I've recommended her to all the smokers I know (who of course asked me how I quit!). read more

My husband and I took Stephanie's hypnobabies class and had an amazing experience! She's a really caring instructor and she's really passionate about the subject. Her classes were very enjoyable and she covers the materials very well; she's also very accommodating and if for any reason you miss a class she would help you catch up with the material. She also really cares about her students and our success - she constantly followed up after our class to make sure we were prepared for our births and was genuinely excited to hear about our experiences and meet our babies. I had an amazing birth and I highly recommend this class for anyone thinking of having a natural birth. Oh and did I mention she brings snacks to class? Stephanie really exceeded my expectations and I'm really glad we took this class. read more

Stephanie Voss delivers. I had been to two other hypnotherapists over the years, got little positive results from them and therefore had little confidence in hypnotherapy. Sessions with Stephanie proved her effectiveness. She is competent and quickly gains your confidence. It's obvious she knows what she's doing, because the results testifiy to her ability better than I. read more

Stephanie has been a huge blessing to me. After gaining nearly 100 pounds due to medications for my autoimmune arthritis I visited a bariatric surgeon for a consult. I felt completely down on myself and Stephanie believed in me nobody else did started working with me on October 1st 2014. I am down 35 pounds and felt my whole attitude and my life shift after just one session! I would greatly encourage anyone who is curious about hypnotherapy to just do it! You have nothing to lose and Stephanie is so great at personalizing the sessions and incorporating what you've done in past sessions into new ones. I honestly felt like I've gotten my life back! read more

Stephanie literally saved my life! I was battling severe insomnia after a miscarriage that had been crippling me with anxiety. I would get anxious in the evening knowing I needed to sleep, but I was so afraid of not sleeping that I developed a fear so strong that I didn't know how to handle this. I'd go weeks without proper sleep which brought me to depression and honestly I wasn't thinking correctly at all... I tried sleeping pills, cannabis, doctors ... I tried it all until finally I realized I might need to be hypnotized. WELL! did I pick the right lady to go to for this! I sure did! Stephanie saved me, she literally hypnotized me just enough to ultimately love myself. The happiness and serenity I feel at night now is monumental! She completely shifted my brain to change the way I think and I will forever be grateful. Although I was weary on spending a good chunk of change on this BOY AM I SURE GLAD I DID. AN INVESTMENT TO LAST A LIFETIME. Highly recommend for anxiety,insomnia, poor habits and self hate. She will fix you ... trust me. Thank you Stephanie!! Also her voice is so calming .. you will sink down into your couch cushions while listening to her sweet voice. read more

I have benefited from hypnotherapy for years but Stephanie is by far the best hypnotherapist I've ever worked with. She has an outstanding ability to understand your primary concerns and does so in a calm, comfortable and yet professional manner. Does hypnotherapy work? I just won the U.S. National Cycling championships after working with Stephanie! read more

I must admit, I was skeptical going in to get hypnotherapy for quitting smoking. I have tried a bunch of different times to quit and it has never stuck for more than a few months. After seeing stephanie ONE TIME, my desire to smoke vanished in 3 days. her quitting smoking package includes 3 sessions, all of which I've completed, and, though I felt after the first one like I never wanted to smoke again, the other 2 sessions reinforced my smoke-free-ness. I'd highly highly recommend this treatment if you want to quit smoking - I started when I was 14, so I've been smoking for 19 years! Yuck! I am so happy to be free of it and I honestly don't think I could have done it without Stephanie. read more

A consummate professional, Stephanie helped me overcome my discomfort with exposed areas (drop-offs) in the wilderness, which was no small feat. I love hiking, backpacking, etc., and I am fit and have a really good sense of balance, yet I was often irrationally nervous about traversing certain types of terrain. This was a big stumbling block to my enjoyment of my favorite activities. Stephanie's intelligence, creativity and superior listening skills enabled her to quickly hone in on the crux of my issue in a way that truly transformative. Whether you have a specific issue you want to work on or just want help relaxing, I highly recommend Voss Hypnotics! read more

Stephanie is an incredible hypnotist. I had a severe problem with hair pulling. After one session this compulsion was eliminated but I continued with two more sessions because I found them to be very therapeutic. We worked on issues of self-esteem and obsessive rumination of past events. I now feel more present in the moment and positive. Stephanie is smart, caring, warm, and affordable! Marilyn Taylor-Kremen read more

I just wanted to let everyone know that stephanie is the only hypnotherepist I will ever go to. She is very professional and the results are amazing. Stephanie is caring and insightful. Going into the mind has twists and turns and she is a confidant and capable navigator.While studying for the state exam for Phlebotomy, I went to her for relaxation and memory retention. Her techniques were spot on. When I took the state test, I used all the techniques she gave me and the results were a surprise to even the Proctor administering the test.I scored much higher than the average person. I have since used her service for medical trauma. What a relief ! She guided me and eliminated all of the flashbacks of the entire incident. No matter what correction in life's course you need, it is always better to do it with her help. read more

Going to Voss Hypnotics was one of the best investments I've ever made! I went to see Stephanie because I have had serious sleeping/insomnia issues for years and years, and I finally decided to do something about it. I had never done any kind of hypnosis before, and Stephanie made me feel very comfortable and secure with the whole process. After just three sessions, my sleeping issues have drastically improved! Stephanie taught me many really successful techniques and practices, and I loved going to see her. I cannot recommend it highly enough! read more

I have known Stephanie through her mazing work since 2009. Her ability to prepare a session cratered to my needs is a true sign of a gifted master in the arts of "mind work." She had helped me with test anxiety and taught me strategies to cope with anxiety... Recently I needed help and during our second session she had a whole agenda lined up but when I told her my mental state and triggers she immediately changed what she prepared and I experienced what would be equivalent to 80years of daily therapy in one hypnotic session. To know she can help me feel liberated from my mental prison of the past and present is beyond expressive words! I am very straight forward and strong willed but I had to surrender to the fact I struggle on a deep subconscious level with feeling powerless. Thank you so much Stephanie you are such an amazing and profound healer of the mind. Many people like Oprah, for example, have access to people which allow them to be larger than life, people who's help allow them to ascend and live, you are one of those people. I am so grateful I decided to open a god forsaken yelp where hysterically narsisitic people have a voice but to me this the validation you deserve because your skills are beyond words. What you do for me is priceless and I appreciate you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the power of infinity!! read more
