Joan helped us lose weight with Hypnotherapy

Earlier this year my friend and I went to see Joan about having the Hypno-Band.

We were very sceptical about hypnosis and Joan put us totally at ease, she is a lovely lady and explained everything really well.

We went for 4 sessions and by the end of that we’d both lost nearly 1 stone, we’ve continued to listen to the Cd’s she gave us and I have now lost nearly 2 stone and my friend has lost 3 stone!

We are thrilled with the results and would tell anyone wanting to lose weight to give it a try.

You might think it’s quite costly but when you think how much money you pay to go to a slimming club it is a lot cheaper to go to Joan, and the results are so much better and last longer.

It’s a life change and Joan seems to get that into your head.

We would recommend her to anyone.

Social Phobia, Anxiety & Low Self Esteem helped with Cognitive Processing & Integration Therapy (CPI)

When i first arranged my appointment for hypnotherapy with Joan, i was quite apprehensive as i had never been hypnotised before and didn’t know if it would work.

However, after the first session i knew that this was the way to go.

Joan helped me to overcome my issues with social phobia, anxiety and low self esteem and get back to feeling like me.

Family commented after the first session about how much better i was and this continued to improve with each session which was a fantastic feeling.

I would definitely recommend this route to others who feel they need help. It was a great help to speak freely about the things i had held back for so long and to feel free from the pain they caused but still able to use my past experiences as a positive tool to learn from.

Thank you Joan for all your help!

“S” – 14 year old girl at 17 stones….Helped with the Blowaway Technique – Hypnosis for Children

Just before Christmas I contacted Joan in the hope she could help my 14 yr old granddaughter who has a weight problem & who had become seriously overweight.

We had, in the past, taken her to her doctor who then had referred her to a consultant and after several test procedures and two years of constant strict dieting failed to help her and then dismissed her problems as “genetic”…. “take her home and love her” is what we were told!

Then the bullying started and in order to cope with this and the usual teenage growing up problems she began to “comfort” eat and it began a circle that needed to be broken.

She started to become withdrawn and would sometimes fly into rages, say horrible things & she started to say she wished she was dead and threatened to commit suicide.

She would put bruises on her arms and all the family were at our wits end.

So i read on the internet about Joan and took my grandaughter along for an initial consultation, i was very impressed right from the start with how Joan welcomed us to the centre and although my granddaughter was very nervous and scared I saw she liked Joan.

She talked to both of us to try to get a picture of what was going on in my granddaughters life and to my amazement she told Joan everything!!

She was very professional in her approach & was warm and understanding and at the end she said yes I am sure that I can help and if you want me to i can most certainly do my best.

So we set up a session which took place just before Christmas.

We both attended the session which was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time just wonderful !!

After the session was over I noticed a difference in her right away she seemed much more relaxed on the way home she just talked and talked where usually on would go her earphones and she would withdraw.

We noticed her appetite had decreased she no longer wanted to eat just for the sake of it, she did not crave chocolate and crisps and over the past weeks several people have commented on how she is losing weight!

She keeps in touch with Joan via Facebook and i know we can take her back if we need to but right now she is doing fine and i along with the rest of the family don’t know how to thank Joan……

I went to see Joan 5 weeks ago from the moment I met her a was instantly put at ease, its hard being a pensioner and doing some thing like this, but I had no need to worry it was great.

Joan is such a lovely person,she told me that her husband Paul had done the hypno band on her a few years ago, it proved successful and she knew what she was talking about, I have now lost 12lbs and doing good, If I need to speak to Joan she is there for me,so if you are thinking of the hypno band get in touch with Joan I promise you will not regret it.

A big thank you once again Joan xx

I cannot thank Joan enough for her help and getting my life back – Social Phobia with CPI

“I was suffering with social anxiety and lack of confidence.

It was at the point where I didn’t want to be social and I just wanted to fade into the background.

This was no way to live my life and was causing me some real upset. I didn’t know what to do and so hunted the internet for any help.

I was new to the ideas of hypnotherapy but wanted to try anything to help . I wanted to be happy.

I emailed Joan initially and on her response I couldn’t have asked for more .

Such understanding and hope from the off.

I then had a consultation where Joan made me realise my issues could be resolved .

The environment was always safe, relaxing and a place where Joan never once judged or made me feel uncomfortable.

All her techniques worked and it was like a revelation!

I now feel 100% happy with me.

She has taught me to understand why these things happened and how to deal effectively.

I look at things in a more positive way and I now do so much more socially than ever.

I cannot thank Joan enough for her help and getting my life back, and would recommend this therapy to anyone”.

Miss “C” – Severe Hair Pulling, Anxiety & Stress (9 year old girl) solved with Hypnosis for Children

My daughter met Joan about 2 years ago during an extremely difficult time in her life.

Her struggles ranged from a nasty case of bullying to the death of a beloved pet, a  medical diagnosis and my husband and I deciding to split temporarily.

For a girl of such a young age she did not know how to cope with life at this point and as a result she began to pull her hair.

She went from a full head of gorgeous wavy hair to total hair loss within 5 months. It was extremely traumatic for her as you can imagine.

I didn’t know where to turn.

The professionals I saw had never experienced anything like this and were no help at all. In fact I was told that as her Mum I will have probably read more on the subject and could probably tell the doctors more than they can tell me!!

So I decided to try hypnotherapy for her.

Chloe had an instant affection for Joan.

Joan had a beautiful, soft and wonderfully caring manner which comes naturally to her, but in the presence of children this side of her really shines through and my daughter loved her instantly.

The session with Joan made my daughter feel on top of the world.

The techniques used helped my daughter to feel safe, relaxed, loved and important. It made a massive difference to her life.

Joan sent us a CD made especially for my daughter which she would listen to every single night without fail as she lay in bed. S

he found comfort in having Joan’s voice there to see her off to sleep each night.

Over the next few months the hair pulling went from extremely intense to what we thought of as a habit she had formed.

Chloe had another one or two sessions with Joan and within a year her hair had begun to grow back.

Today Chloe has a full head of gorgeous curly hair and she does not pull her hair at all these days. I would recommend a visit to Joan for any child who needs a boost in confidence, who needs comfort, support and unconditional love for what ever reason.

The treatment gives the child a chance to relax, a means to let go of all the bad feelings and experiences and a source of comfort and love that sometimes parents cant provide due to the fact that they are hurting too!

Roz – Anxiety & Stress with Clinical Hypnosis

I would just like to say a heartfelt thank you to Joan who recently helped me to get through a really difficult time.

I was feeling extremely depressed and anxious about circumstances that were overwhelming me to a point of exhaustion.

Through hypnotherapy and her personal warmth and understanding I have come through the other side and have now found the courage to make major positive changes in my life.

I now feel I have an exciting new future, which seems unbelievable considering where I was just a few weeks ago.

Thank you really isn’t enough Joan

Lots of love
