Testimonials

"Paul helped me relax and slow down the pace of my life so that I could more easily strive for fitness and healthier eating. I’ve already lost 12 pounds and am on my way to more weight loss. My calmer frame of mind has helped me at work and with friends and family. I’m more selective about which “battles to pick” and let others know what’s important to me. I’m putting my happiness first. I’m more motivated to take charge of my life by using the tools I’ve learned. I’m more at peace and less compulsive in my behavior. I highly recommend hypnotherapy with Paul to anyone who compulsively eats or can’t sleep due to anxiety and the inability to relax. The CD’s he provides are invaluable for the reinforcement of thoughts the subconscious needs to have for a guided path to happiness." (J.C. Wilmington. MA)

"Thank you for the role you played in helping my son address his panic attack issues. Over the past month, in addition to attending your sessions and listening to your tapes, he met with a therapist, completed five panic-attack books/tape/workbooks, and was prescribed short-term meds. He now has the tools necessary - especially positive self-talk, relaxation breathing and visualization - to successfully address future panic attacks. Please feel free to pass along this success story to future clients suffering from this same issue; it will provide hope." (Anonymous Mom)
