Self-hypnosis taught during private hypnotherapy sessions

Female, 48, after first hypnosis session included in the advanced self-hypnosis course

"I want to say you Thanks very much for self- hypnosis session. It was really new for me. I feel in harmony with my mind and my heart.
I think, there are things that any money will be not enough for to pay, as you made it today for me. I can appreciate it and I will keep it all my life saying thanks Joanna."

Female, 58, emotional eating

"Issues of self-judgment and the echoing words of my past brought me such emotional pain that despite what I thought I knew on a cognitive level to 'help myself' I could not get relief or peace and this affected my eating habits and my relationships with the people I love, especially the relationship with myself!!
Joanna’s manner and instant ability to see where my pain was, and lead me gently through the path to confident and instant self-hypnosis was done within a period of less than a month – and with such good listening to my needs.
I now have the skills, knowledge and beliefs to go forward and be in the present – rather than re-hashing the past or anticipating the future. To paraphrase Joanna’s words – 'NOW is WOW'.
The relationship I have with me has improved, I am a more mindful and present eater, and my relationships with family have developed using strategies of appreciation and forgiveness. The challenge is to practice my newly accepted skills in self hypnosis as they bring me such good feelings that no drug, nor food, nor other external sources could possibly provide. The skills are in me, always were and always will be."

"I am also happy to recommend Joanna as the skills she taught were not solely to be employed in her presence, but were ideas and techniques I can use and develop on my own. Also, anything I learnt in the sessions I can use for the rest of my life without having to go back for further 'top-up' sessions."

"...I use the techniques for self hypnosis every day and find them useful in any stressful situation."

Female, 31, strong social anxiety based on the phobia of eating in restaurant

"I have gradually been better after your sessions and I have not felt so awkward even if I am invited to dinner out etc.I remind myself even if I have anxiety again, that’s normal and I will be able to handle…just so I can keep my spirits high when things are not going so well. I try to use your method whenever I can."

Advanced Self-hypnosis Course

"After I completed my therapy sessions with you I was no longer experiencing anywhere near the same degree of anxiety and depression, but I was left thinking where do I go from here ? Specifically, what do I need to do from now to ensure I don’t go through the same experience again, how can I get even better and how can I use hypnosis to improve my life in general ? This is why I undertook the course. I needed to understand the different techniques available and to develop my own routine.
I believe the course has achieved this for me. Running it with a small group of people who have also been through therapy and are at the same level is excellent."

Female, 46 years old

"I did enjoy the course and learnt some great new methods to use during self-hypnosis. The small group worked best – any more people would have been too intimidating."

"I learnt what I wanted to know about self hypnosis and have gained a lot of good knowledge that I can adapt into my own life. This has been a great experience and something that I have enjoyed thoroughly."

"I really enjoyed your class and everything you taught me, during our private sessions or at the advance classes. I am using self hypnosis on a regular basis and it has been very helpful, and change my life in many different ways."

One Day Advanced Self-hypnosis Workshops

Female, 45 years old, specialized workshop for confidence and public performance

The workshop more than met my expectations - so much change in one day on such a deep and fundamental level. I felt stretched and expanded beyond my ability, with the result of feeling a stronger internal foundation from which to adapt to any stressful or confronting situation. The simple, practical, tools you gave were so varied and easy to use, they seem to have become a part of me. I find myself using them often during the day as they are immediately effective to create confidence and ease in any fearful, stressful situation."

Female, 30 years old, specialized workshop for confidence and public performance

" Thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend your confidence self hypnosis workshop. The day was filled with great self help techniques which made the difference in my confidence immediately. By the end of the day i had the confidence to offer to demonstrate a technique in front of the class which i would never had done before doing the work on this day. There was plenty of information on techniques to use on a daily basis. I have since used some of these techniques and have noticed a huge improvement in my confidence. I now enjoy attending gatherings and being with other people and have even instigated my own get togethers where i have never had the confidence to do so in the past. Thank you Joanna, for making such a big difference in such an important aspect of life"

Male, 31 years old, , specialized workshop for confidence and public performance

"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me build my confidence. I feel very confident and relaxed now when talking to people and have never enjoyed my life like this before. In the self-hypnosis workshop I have learned so many techniques that were even beyond my expectations. The course was lead in a well prepared and step-by-step manner and the course notes were very helpful in understanding all the various techniques. I am now using self-hypnosis as a regular relaxation exercise on daily basis and its doing wonders for me. I feel like I can now achieve anything I want and I feel very confident interacting with my peers and boss in office. Public performance is not a problem for me anymore.
Thank you once again for helping me in becoming a much better and confident person."

"When I decided to do the self-hypnosis workshop, not only did I think it would help me with my goals but I am very interested in hypnosis itself. In a small group of 4 we spent the day learning several techniques that each of us could use in our daily lives. These techniques tackled dealing with physical and emotional pain, they tackled dealing with goal setting and achievements and they also dealt with simple techniques to relax amongst other things. I really enjoyed this 1 day workshop. It was brilliant and gave me a better understanding of hypnosis as a process and a tool we could all use."

"I wanted to say to you how much I enjoyed the day. At first I thought it would be too much & too long but was amazed at how informative & how quickly the day went. I especially enjoyed the practical sessions. I am slowly trying to structure hypnosis into my life everyday & although some days especially while on holidays when you feel good I have been a bit slack but today I am back to work & my plan is to make it as important as breakfast."

"I wanted to thank you for the self hypnosis workshop and to give you my feedback. I thought the workshop was very beneficial to me. I have been working more on my self hypnosis and using the techniques every day. I am finding it easier to put myself into hypnosis and I am feeling the effects of it everyday. So many techniques that I would not have known had I not done the workshop. I am using the laughter triggers for my anxiety and they seem to be helping me. I understand how important it is to practice everyday, so I am making that a part of my daily routine."

"I've gained a very good practice of self-hypnosis. Good to do it many times in the group. Good to use it simply. Good to be rational-logical"

"It was very well explained. Had a perfect combination of theory & practical. Techniques range was great, especially since you encouraged us to apply each technique to a different situation."

"There were a lot of techniques that will be useful for the future. Some of them reinforced what I had learnt in private sessions and it works even better."

"I definitely feel better at the end of the day, I am more confident. I have learnt things today about myself and my issues that I did not know before. I really like the way you care for your clients and how approachable you are. It's easy to relax and to open with you. I will definitely continue to work on what I've started."

"I've found the development of conceptual ideas the most valuable. (the difference between feelings and emotions and the chair technique). I do not visualize well, but I could feel how the pictures should be, like dreams - which was something I hadn't tried (I was trying to force visualizing). Thank you"

"Thank you for having me in your group. You actually have a very soothing voice. The accent means it is uniquely you and therefore safe and familiar. I could have stayed the whole time in deep hypnosis, very relaxed, and you could have just implanted all the good suggestions into my subconscious mind. I slept very soundly last night and feel particularly rested today. I also intend to continue to use the self hypnosis daily as it is quick, simple and effective."
