I contacted Christian after a diagnosis of osteoarthritis that shook me to my core. I could no longer ignore the extra weight that was putting undue stress on my joints; it was a wake up call, a call to arms. I was obese enough to negatively affect my lifestyle, and to shorten my life. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Hypnotherapy with Christian worked for me. What Christian does is not mysterious or magic. What he did is help me to get my subconscious mind working toward the same goal my conscious mind wanted. Now, I feel like all the parts of me are moving forward with each other. In addition, he taught me skills to help get back to this cooperative position, should old habits crop up. If you are feeling helpless and hopeless, and that you don't know how or who can help you to make needed changes in your life, I don't know why you wouldn't reach out to Christian. I'm so glad I did. read more

Christian is truly a master at his craft. I was in need of help, and in a very short time he diagnosed my problem, and helped me to help myself. What a consummate professional read more

In no uncertain terms, the 5 sessions I spent w/Christian at Whole Health Hypnosis are the most impactful therapy I've ever encountered. As a salesman, my job is to communicate certainty, confidence, and clarity to a client such that they can make the right decision to resolve their problems. I've been doing this for almost four years now and though I knew how to do my job, my issue was I didn't always FEEL like I could. I'd tried everything to empower myself; from exercise and better nutrition, to prescription drugs and meditation, to books on stoic philosophy and Buddhist theology. All helped greatly but hadn't resolved the underlying feedback loops that would sabotage me in my times of need. It got to a point where I was afraid of taking on new challenges because I believed there was no way it could work out because my programming would prevent me from being successful. My attitude was fatalistic to say the least. I'd driven by Christian's place a few times and had read about the power of hypnotism to re-write faulty instructions in a person's subconscious. So, I gave him a ring and told him the change I wanted was to believe in myself. We set up weekly appointments, and my mind was blown. Using hypnotism, he opened my mind up to reconsidering both who I was and what I was capable of, dispelling much of the inner dialogue that had plagued me for so many years. Thereafter when going on sales meetings, where before I would have an inner voice telling me it wouldn't work out, now a second voice echoed "you can". I felt serene, and my environment reflected that. Words can't describe how amazing this is, to finally identify as a person who deserves success; that you have a say in what happens and that whatever comes your way, you'll handle it. I am by no means a superman after our time together, but a foundation has been laid for continued growth. Besides the session. Christian teaches you how to continue your work in the comfort of your own home, so you can continue to address issues after the sessions end. As the phrase goes, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." At Whole Health Hypnosis, you receive both. Do yourself a favor and pay him a visit, I promise you it will be some of the best money you've ever spent. read more

I spoke with several different therapists and decided to work with Christian. I am so glad I did! Christian's level of commitment and expertise is outstanding. He took all the time necessary to work with me, and I noticed a shift internally and externally in my life throughout our time working together. Thank you, Christian, for what you do and the heart you do it with! read more

No attempts to quit smoking that I have ever made in my 17 years as a smoker have ever been as lasting or impactful as my sessions with Christian have proven to be. If you want to change your life, but can't seem to visualize or actualize the person you want to become, Christian has the skillset conducive to guiding you on that path. The quality of his care and practice are incredible. It is a wonder that hypnosis is not better recognized in the realms of psychology, therapy and self-improvement. I highly recommend. read more

Christian was fantastic. He took a great deal of time to dive in with me to figure out exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Focus, discipline and follow through bubbled to the surface. I am happy to report that six months later I am still on point read more

I finally decided that I had done enough damage to myself and the people who love me. I had a great experience with hypnotherapy in the past and really should have pursued this course years ago. I researched therapists and came across Christian Skoorsmith. I had a good feeling from the first phone conversation we had. We have completed 5 sessions and as long as I keep using the tools that Christian helped me find, I am very optimistic. I have more energy, motivation and confidence than I have had for a very long time. I would recommend Christian to anyone I know. read more

Best money I every spent on myself! The results far exceeded my expectations and were much more comprehensive than I could have imagined. Christian is great to work with. The emotional lump that lived in the back of my throat turned into the feeling of laughter bubbling! I feel lighter and like the best version of myself. read more

I had one major goal when I began hypnotherapy with Christian Skoorsmith. Not only did I accomplish that, but thanks to his expertise as well as his supportive personal qualities, I have experienced many more changes and have gained some insight that was unexpected. As I said to Christian, it all added up to something that will stay with me forever. Ron S. read more

Christian is fantastic! I truly enjoyed every single session I had with him and look forward to connecting with him more in the future. I would seriously urge anyone considering hypnotherapy to go for it. I am and have been on a quest to be the very best version of myself for a long time, and have done some really great work and seen wonderful results through different approaches. Having said that, hypnotherapy is an absolute game changer. It has changed so much in me, without changing me. If done properly not only as the therapist, but as the recipient, it can be life changing. Christian is VERY GOOD. He is brilliant, and knows his craft well. With his help, I feel like a new man... actually I feel like myself. Go see Christian, he is amazing, professional, and safe. Honest to goodness, wonderful human being. read more

I'd been curious about hypnosis for some time in an effort to deepen my healing and change my beliefs about myself. I'd dipped my toe into "light" versions of hypnosis before through online programs and felt like it had promise. I decided to connect with Christian for a more in depth hypnosis practice and I can't recommend this enough to anyone looking to make a real change in their life. The whole process was not only delightful, but extremely profound in my journey to self actualization. The proof is really in the pudding. I am radiating, so much so that people have asked me what I'm doing. My feelings of confidence, capability and high self worth are infectious, and I love this new state of mind I've been able to adopt through this process. I TRULY believe I am capable of building the life, relationships and career I want through this work. This process has helped me uncover profound insights about myself, my limiting beliefs, and break past my feelings of inadequacy, while giving me the tools to hold space for myself at a higher frequency. My limiting beliefs just don't feel the same, there's so much less charge there. Christian's hypnosis process coupled with my regular therapy (EMDR) have catapulted me in the direction of my dreams and I'm looking forward to my future with so much excitement. You won't regret it if you're looking to make profound changes in your life. read more

It's been over a year and I still feel amazing! The focus is there, the weight is not. The anger has not reared it's ugly head in a long while. I appreciate how Christian helped me along the way. I didn't think much about it until today, I weighed and had lost a bit more weight, had a crushing dead line for a report did not get distracted. The best was have an annoying neighbor who is a complete Ass and I did not get angry when he tried to pick a fight, my dog took care of the aggressive side and informed him to leave. Thank you again Christian! Take care Margaret Certified Residential Appraiser read more

I met Christian by chance when I was looking to learn about hypnotherapy. I went to him with lots of things I wanted to accomplish without really understanding how hypnosis was going to work. He was kind and very knowledgeable and wanted to teach me more about hypnosis and answer my questions. I went to him at a time I was grieving and lost and he helped me find the inner strength I needed to get out of a dark place. I learned so much about myself, my strengths and why I have irrational fears govern my life. Went to him with an extreme fear of death, of accidents, of water (can't swim) and I came out of these sessions with a new view of life where I am living it to the fullest. I can't thank him enough for helping me unleash the inner strength I need to love, forgive and enjoy life. read more

I loved working with Christian. He encourages you to dive deep, and the work is difficult, but the results are profound. I would strongly recommend trying this if you have found yourself stuck, despite trying more traditional routes of care. I'm still in awe of how much progress I made on addressing my claustrophobia in only 5 weeks! read more

Christian is a highly receptive Therapist whom takes time to listen to his clients in support of there success. He will work towards a deep understanding to support the success of the therapy. He is an honest and forthright individual who is easy to deal with because you can buy into his integrity and strength of character. read more

I initially came to Christian more out of curiosity than conviction that hypnosis would work for me. After a personal trauma that I had struggled to move through for some time, Christian surprised me. In only a month, hypnosis has reduced my anxiety levels, stopped reoccurring nightmares and enabled me to recognize and let go of the root cause of issue. Christian is scientific in his method and compassionate in his approach. Highly recommended. read more

I went to see Christian to receive help with some affirmations for healing during and after hip surgery. I wanted to be calm and relaxed and to visualize my healing. He was very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable, taking time to craft the perfect message for my session. I was able to deeply relax and will definitely return for future sessions. read more

I spent five sessions with Christian. And I could not have had a better experience. He was able to help me harness the anxiety that has plagued me for years. I had then made some pretty serious steps towards my future success and I am feeling very confident about them instead of a nervous wreck. Meeting with him could not have come at a better time. Thanks Christian! I really do appreciate you and your insight. read more

I highly recommend Christian and Whole Health Hypnosis! He is kind, a great listener and a powerful hypnotherapist who helped me break through my internalized doubts and claim my self-confidence. I feel empowered and able to do whatever I set my mind to. The "monkey mind" of self-doubt that used to plague me and interrupt my sleep is gone and I feel rested, relaxed, confident and focused. Due to the pandemic and my own work schedule I worked with him over Zoom - very convenient and effective! Give yourself the gift of hypnosis with Christian and get to living the life you've always wanted. read more

I feel so lucky and grateful to have run into Christian Skoorsmith in Arizona. Even though he was technically on vacation, he was very happy to help me overcome the anxiety and PTSD I'd been struggling with. It is amazing how much he helped me in just three sessions of hypnotherapy. My life is better, my anxiety levels have already noticeably improved and I am excited to explore this new, free-er me. And it's only been three days since my first session. I cannot say enough about what a kind man Christian is, and how welcoming he is to people of all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life. I've known him and his family many years, and he truly thrives off helping people to improve their lives. read more

I went to see Christian because I had to speak in public and the thought of it made me extremely nervous. Working with him helped with my fear of public speaking and my anxiety in general. I have also found that I am able to stay more mindful and focused. read more

Working with Christian is transformational. He is a very talented, effective, and thoughtful professional who gets results. He takes a very holistic approach to whatever issues you want to address. Christian provides a very healing, supportive, non-judgmental environment to do the work in. I strongly recommend him, without reservation. read more

I went to Whole Health Hypnosis in July of 2019, without really knowing what to expect. I have always had some anger issues, but my anger took a turn for the worse in 2017, and it was causing me to want to hide from the world, just so my anger wouldn't be triggered! Being angry all the time is absolutely exhausting, and it was affecting my relationship with my daughter, not only because I was constantly snapping at her, but because I'd stopped telling her I loved her, and stopped giving her affection. I instantly felt at ease with Christian, the hypnotherapist, and after hearing the short version of my story, he assured me that he could definitely help me. He was right! He walked me through how hypnosis works, and answered all of my questions. Even the ones I had after our first and second sessions. He was completely professional, kind-hearted, and personable. He never judged me or criticized me, and was always so compassionate, especially when I was feeling like a terrible mother and person for not having been able to "get over" my anger. His office space is actually pretty large, as he holds classes in part of it, but he has created an cozy little area for both the pre-session chats, and the sessions. You get to recline in a very comfortable chair, and he offers a blanket as well. He is also an excellent communicator, following up when he says he will. If you need help with anger, losing weight, anxiety or anything else he covers, I would definitely look into it! It is so worth it to finally be free of that monkey on my back! read more

Doing hypnosis sessions with Christian was incredible - I was trying to move on from cigarettes and ended up getting that and so much more! Each session explored a different aspect of my past that was holding me back from so many things in my current life. It was like truly productive therapy sessions where he guided me and gave me the tools I needed to empower myself in the past so I could move forward in the future. It was really healing and made me go through and fix the problems - not just talk about them. Way better than any therapy or counseling I have tried in the past - we went through and dealt with those problems right then and there! I can't say enough about how helpful it was for me and now I have almost a month of being a non-smoker under my belt. The funny thing was is that we didn't really talk about smoking that much - it was a symptom of my deeper issues and he went right for them. Really cool guy and totally non-judgmental. Thanks Christian! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Christian! Christian is kind-hearted and genuinely cares about his client(s) success. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone ready to take the next step in life, whether self-improvement or struggles in a particular area. Christian helped me face my fears and limiting beliefs that held me back from the person I am meant to be. From the 1st session to the 5th, Christian has helped me remove roadblocks; I am confident yet humble in my life approach because of Christian's work. I have the tools to help me stay focus and on track with my journey. I am finding much success in my professional life. My only complaint is that I didn't do this sooner! Thank you, Christian! read more

I was in a funk for quite some time before I went to see Christian. I was feeling empty & withdrawn, lacking motivation to do simple day to day tasks. I didn't enjoy doing things I normally liked to do, I wasn't being very social with my friends, I wasn't seeing my family as often as I felt I should, I wasn't committed to my diet & exercise plans, I was coasting by at work, I was wasting way too much time on social media, & I wasn't giving my marriage the attention it deserved. I wanted to change all of this, but I felt helpless to do so on my own. After one of my friends saw Christian & had amazing results, I decided to give hypnosis a try. After meeting Christian for a consultation, I committed to 5 hypnotherapy sessions with him. Christian is kind, attentive, nonjudgmental, understanding, & was confident he could help me. After our first hypnotherapy session I started noticing results. I went home & immediately threw away some junk food I never would have wasted before & I joined a new gym. Each session was different than the last & I always left hypnosis feeling refreshed & wanting to do the things I was previously putting off or procrastinating on. Over the course of 4 weeks with Christian, I felt a positive shift in my mindset...I didn't want to miss my workouts, I didn't want to eat things that weren't good for me, I wanted to spend time with my friends & family, I deleted social media apps from my phone, I was more productive in my work, & I craved & created quality time with my husband. In short, I started to feel like myself again. Christian also taught me how to do self hypnosis & that has been amazing when I go to bed at night. It allows me to fall asleep faster & to fall asleep with positive thoughts. Hypnosis can definitely get you on the right path to achieving your goals/target behaviors. I am not completely out of my funk, but I do believe Christian has helped me begin to get out of it & I will most likely go back from time to time for a "tune-up" with Christian. I recommend him to anyone, especially if you are a member of the LGBT community...he offers a safe space for everyone. read more

I was a little skeptical of trying this but decided to come here for specific personal reasons. I was going to call around a few places around where I'm located in West Seattle. I talked to Christian first and he came off very well so agreed to setup a consultation. After our consultation I agreed to see him for five sessions. Christian made me feel extremely comfortable and I had no problem telling him my problems. Do i think he magically cured me in his five sessions? No but he gave me great tools and made other parts of my mind aware of my issues. I am a fairly younger guy so I don't have as much expendable income but I am going to try and continue to see him once or twice a year. He is extremely helpful and I feel he was way more helpful than the psychiatrist I tried (or I feel this is more of what I was looking for). What honestly trips me out more than anything is I can almost never fall asleep easily, I cant even fall asleep in a recliner at my house. Every session I was so relaxed that even in his chair with somewhat of a stranger in the room It was hard to stay awake. He's got a great voice and I trust him. I look forward to working with him and hoping I can send other people his way. I feel like it was money well spent and I don't regret it at all. You're a good man Christian! read more

I went to see Christian after my wife had a successful outcome in managing a back pain issue. I had more existential concerns: worries about aging and mortality, wanting to feel more at one with the universe and less of an isolated self. The results have been subtle but profound: I feel more peaceful, more present to my immediate environment, and accepting of my aging body. I now have a routine practice to help maintain this state of being on my own for which I am very grateful. read more
