Dr. Wanita Holmes is more than an amazing hypnotherapist - she is one of the most loving and genuine people I've ever met. I was referred to Dr. Wanita through a friend, in order to help with my test anxiety. As a new law school student, I found myself struggling with the stress of finals. In law school, whole semester grades are based on final exam performance. My first semester, I experienced a panic attack during one of my exams and got a "C". As a former straight "A" student, it devastated me. I was desperately in need of some help! Within minutes of meeting Dr. Wanita, I knew I had come to the right place. She has dedicated much of her life to perfecting the art of hypnosis and test taking. Dr. Wanita taught me simple techniques for studying and memorization. Also, she used hypnosis to calm my nerves and find my inner confidence. Within a few visits, my study skills greatly improved! My next semester grades were remarkably better. I credit my success to Dr. Wanita's test taking expertise! During my visits with Dr. Wanita, I realized her ability to help me with far more than just law school tests. I began seeing Dr. Wanita regularly for therapy and listening to the recorded hypnosis sessions every night while falling asleep. She understands me like nobody else - we even joke that we are like soul mates! I've experienced a significant improvement in my anxiety and depression. Also, my general outlook on life has improved. I look forward to my meetings with her so much because I always leave feeling wonderful! Dr. Wanita genuinely cares about all of her patients. Her wisdom is endless! She has useful information about everything and can help with any personal problem. She has an uncanny ability to make her patients feel self-confident and content with the world. She's helped thousands of people quit smoking, or pass the bar, or overcome any obstacle they may face. Dr. Wanita truly changes people's lives! read more

Wanita is an amazing therapist. I came to her with all negative feelings and thoughts about myself. She has slowly helped me learn to let go of all the baggage from my childhood and past. Believe and be positive; and the universe will bring good to your life. Wanita had her hands full with me, but I am actually starting to see the light. She is the best thing that has even happened to me. read more

Wanita Holmes present herself as a doctor but do not be fooled, she did not earn a doctor degree who require years of training, study and to pass a state exam. She will also tell you she is licensed by the state of California, yet, another misleading Statment. Yes, she licensed maybe as a business which she has to be licensed just like any business do HOWEVER she is NOT licensed as a therapist. State of California DO NOT license or regulate hypnotherapist. EVERYONE can open an office and call him/herself hypnotherapist, as odd as it sound there is no regulations and no requirments. Period. I have had one session with so call doctor Wanita and I find her practice unethical And dengerouse to say the list. She has no knowlage of psychology and how the subconciouse work despit her years of experiance. We had 3 hr, session which in most of the time she talked about her self and her daughters. One of her daughters, I learned has the same eating disorder as I have and I wander why she can not help her own daughter. To cover for luck of knowlage she was patronizing, insulting and just simply rude in the name of "tough love" if a legitimate health practitioner would treat a client the way Wanita treated me his/her license will be revoke. but again, Wanita was not licensed by the state of Ca or any state so I have no way to make a complaint. Later I learned that hypnotherapy field is totally open to everyone who want to call him self hypnotherapiest. No schooling/training needed, no minimal requirment needed to become hypnotherapist and therefore practitioners do not have to answer to anyone. Sound scary??? It is. What is more horrifying is hypnotherapist have direct access to one subconcious and can really cause a lot of damage if they do not know what they are doing which I got the impression this is the case with Wanita Holmes. LESSON TO BE LEARN: will go only to a psychologist who have legitimate dregree who is trained in hypnotherapy. By the way, her office is not in Larchmont, I think this is an old address. read more

Both my mother and I have gone to see Wanita and there are absolutely no words. Before Wanita, my anxiety was unbearable. It's something I would describe as debilitating. Ever since my very first session, I feel like I can actually breathe. My mind is calmer, my heart isn't always pounding. And on top of that, my mom smoked since I was young and though she tried to quit many times, she always fell back into it. Since seeing Wanita, she hasn't picked up another cigarette. It's been nearly 2 or 3 years now. I honestly can't even remember my mom smoking- the action is so far from her new and improved self. I'm so thankful for Wanita and all the good she brings to the world. read more

I have been blessed to have Wanita in my life for 4 years now . I can honestly say that ever since I met her my life changed in the most positive way. The first time I went to her for hypnosis - I was very skeptical . Wanita put me at ease in just 15 minutes of meeting her . She explained what hypnotherapy is and how hypnosis can be used for many things that a person might want to change in his / her life . After the amazing change I saw in my life - I decided that I wanted to help others in the same way Wanita helped me...what influenced me most to go ahead with the class was that she will be the teacher ! Wanita as an instructor is simply magical . I really can not understand how Mar P. could leave such a dishonest comment about Wanita claiming to be a "doctor" - this is not true . Actually , Wanita makes it very clear (even in her text books) that she is not a medical doctor . The lady does have a Doctorates (PH-D) in hypnotherapy . She studied night and day and worked her butt off to get that degree- If the person commenting knows what a PHD is , she would know that technically speaking Wanita is a doctor of hypnosis . Just because Mar P. is not a believer in the power of positive thinking and guided imagery that assists a persons subconscious mind to break old bad habits and build new and healthier ones - then that is her problem - I highly recommend hypnosis for everyone wanting to make a change in life , break a bad habit , or simply wants to live life thinking positively. Wanita is my mentor and will forever be the person who changed me into an independent and more appreciative woman . She is Full of life , love, wisdom , and beauty ! Even though I am have passed her hypnotherapy class and I am now a certified hypnotherapist , I still find myself making excuses to go and see her at least once a month - being around her brings me joy ! read more

Wanita is the most talented and thorough hypnotherapist I've ever been to! I can have terrible anxiety problems and even after just one visit I felt sooooo much better and was able to tackle my problems head on instead of hide from them. She made me a recorded tape of our sessions that I could listen to and self Hypnos whenever I felt the need. I saw her 4 times for the anxiety problems that were present and after each session I could feel a remarkable difference. Now a year later I am going back to her for hypno-birthing sessions to help aide me in a natural birth and I have all the confidence in the world in Wanita's abilities! Thank you, you magical woman!!! read more

I am very happy to review Dr. Wanita! I asked a trusted friend for a referral for a hypnotist and she gave me Dr. Wanita's contact information. I feel blessed to have found her and will continue to work with her on ways to improve myself, thinking positively and bringing more good to my life. She put me at ease immediately, understood me and helped me to move forward to accomplish my goals. She is kind, understanding and sympathetic and does it all with a quick wit. She has a warm and welcoming energy and I felt completely safe with her. I will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is seeking to make positive changes in their life. Thank you Dr. Wanita, you have changed my outlook for the better and I am so grateful to you. read more

I chained smoked most of my life. I had tried every patch, gum, prescription drug and I could not quit to save my life. I'm 35 now and had multiple spine surgeries. Every timely surgeon said I could not smoke anymore as my bones would likely not fuse. I lied to him and kept on going. I always knew smoking was bad for me but besides being an addict, I loved smoking and I felt it was part of me and I did not want to quit. One day a neighbor saw me smoking and said she had quit with the help of Wanita. After keeping Wanita's phone number on the back burner for about 6 months, I decided to give it a try. I will complete one year as a non smoker in 9 days. I never crave them, I don't think about them, yet they don't bother me (my friends who smoke still smoke next to me). It's like she implanted something in my brain and I never looked back. The session was about 8-10 hours long but it was a delight. Not only Wanita is fantastic at what she does, she is also one of the nicest, coolest, most positive and most fun people I have ever met. Highly highly recommend :) read more

I don't know Wanita Holmes but my husband successfully stopped smoking because of her, before we started dating. He recommended we take my 15 year old son who compulsively bit his nails. I had tried everything and nothing worked. His nail beds were damaged and it was horrible and disgusting. But nothing worked.Wanita saw my son and he loved her and said he felt like she was the perfect grandmother . All I can tell you is he stopped biting his nails. I could cry. I don't know what she did but it worked and he loves her. I am giving Wanita as a gift to all my friends kids who bite their nails and have compulsions that are driving their moms crazy. I love her and can't wait to go to her myself. I am a clinical psychologist and all I can tell you is Wanita is gifted. Thank you Wanita. read more

Wanita Holmes helped me and she can help YOU! I was referred to Wanita through a friend [Chain Smoker] who quit smoking with Wanita's help. Wanita helped me with a personalized program of Hypnotherapy, her office is located in the Sunset Gower Studio where I work as a film professional. Wanita is trusted and trustworthy for good reason, she cares. Since my successful Hypno-Therapy program, I have referred friends, family and colleagues to Wanita- every one has thanked me for the gift! If you want or need help with a personal challenge, call Wanita. read more

3 years ago I visit Wanita. And 3 years ago I stop smoking! I'm very thankful for how amazing and easy what you done to me!!!! I feel free. I never ever want to touch cigarets again. And I was heavy smoker!!!! Thank you and thank you again!!!! read more

I went to see Dr. Wanita Holmes in November 2016 for a sleep issue. After only two sessions, my sleep issue has vastly improved. I highly recommend Wanita for sleep, or for the other issues that Wanita has fine-tuned in her thirty years as a hypnotherapist. Moreover, she is kind, understanding, compassionate and genuinely interested in you as a person, not just the issue you came in with. If you are not in the area, you can purchase Wanita's book entitled, Sleep Sleep Sleep online. It taught me that preparing to go to sleep happens long before one gets into bed for a good night's rest. She is the absolute BEST!!! read more

I came to see Wanita after a friend recommended her to me. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but from what I gathered after speaking with Wanita on the phone, her technique a lot like 'The Secret.' You think positively and put positive goals out there and don't let negativity creep in. For the initial meeting, you come in with a list of things you'd like to work on, and I had a few things, one of which was public speaking. I've always been naturally shy, and in my current job, I need to be able to speak clearly and concisely in front of large groups on a regular basis. I typically get bright red and sweaty when I have to speak... And I'm being 100% honest when I tell you that the day after my meeting with Wanita, I was speaking very comfortably in large group meetings. No red face, no second guessing my opinions. It was insane how well it worked, and Wanita made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone that has something they're trying to get over. She's a gem. read more

The single most amazing experience of my life. I walked into Wanita's office after being referred by a teacher of mine, and my entire life changed. She helped me conquer so many of my fears and insecurities. I had been struggling with mood swings and depression for years, along with phobias, lack of self esteem, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and issues from my childhood... I can't tell you how many items where on my list when I walked in her door. I had been living my life in fear, misery and in pain. One session turned my entire life around. This is not an exaggeration. I am not making this up. All of it became a story of the past. I REALLY WANTED the change. I really wanted help. She helped guide me through all of the processes that had come to grip my mind like a prison sentence, and the self-punishment and sabotage I had created as a pattern in my life, and how carrying all these issues throughout my life was weighing me down and smothering me. I walked out of the office pain free... AND have not had one ounce of pain in the month since I first saw her. Whatever your anxieties are, whatever is gripping you with fear, Wanita is the greatest hypnotherapist. I am living my life full of love for the first time since I was a child. I feel like I was given 20 years back. My family and people in my life ask me what happened because I seem like a different person and as if I turned back the clock. I will never be able to express how grateful I am, and how meaningful the sessions were with her. Thank you Wanita~ you are a heroine and an inspiration!!! read more
