Relationship Testimony from Alison

I recently had a hypnotherapy session with Pauline Rzepecki; it was the first time I had ever gone through hypnotherapy. The experience was one that I found life-altering. I had been struggling for quite some time with issues about needing to control the people around me, especially one of my daughters. All of my attempts to control my daughter were creating significant tension in our relationship. This was the last thing I wanted. During my hypnotherapy session, I was guided through imagery that helped me understand and release my unhealthy behaviors. Since then I have been at peace with myself and my daughter. The results have been wonderful, and I would highly recommend the hypnotherapy process to anyone who wishes to find greater health, balance, and harmony in their life.

Sincerely, Alison R. Willett, Registered Nurse and Licensed Psychologist

Testimony from Sumaya

Birthing is indeed one of those life experiences that are unique for each woman. Despite this knowledge, we allow ourselves to be swayed by the media, movie industry and the experience of others. Once I realized through my hypnosis sessions that I truly had control of the experience I was going to have, I was able to put all of my preconceived ideas and fears out of my conscious and subconscious mind. The most profound moment for me was the response I felt when, during a session, I made the suggestion to my unborn child to move into the correct position and thereby helping “mummy” to have an easy birthing. My subsequent OB visits confirmed that my child was in the correct position and that all appeared to be progressing well. One of my other concerns was the inability to maintain my composure during the birthing process. By using the positive terminology, i.e. surges versus contractions and discomfort versus pain, and encouraging my family (mother and husband) to use the same terminology. I found myself simply raising my hand when my husband, in an attempt to assist me, was instead disturbing my sense of control over the situation. When the surges became more uncomfortable, I was able to visualize the finishing line. It was time for my child to take his place in this world. Call it maternal instinct, I knew without confirmation from the ultrasound technician that my child was a boy. During the birthing processes I called him by the name I had already chosen if we were to be blessed with a boy. The other benefit I derived from the sessions was the ability to remember God during the entire process. That was a suggestion we made during my hypnosis sessions. We plan, but God is the ultimate planner. I prayed for an easy birthing. I engage my unborn child in the process. I allowed my body to undergo the normal changes necessary for my child to make his presence, all the time keeping in mind the suggestions from my session that this was a normal, natural process for me to birth the beautiful healthy child I had nurtured for 39 weeks. Amazingly enough, because of the calmness I experienced during the entire day, I remembered to make special supplications for those people who had put in their requests. It is believed that God answers the supplications of the woman during child bearing / birthing. All my prayers were answered. The birthing was all that I could have hoped it would be and nothing that I had feared it could be. By the grace of God I was made aware of this service available to me and was able to benefit from the hypnosis sessions in so many ways.

Testimony from Lisa

I had been a smoker for 30 years. I have tried many different methods over the years to quit smoking, including a group hypnotherapy session where I walked out and immediately lit a cigarette.

My final attempt at quitting smoking involved a trip to my internist, who was eager to help with medication, of course, but also suggested to me that I would greatly increase my odds of becoming a non-smoker with the use of hypnotherapy.

I know Pauline through work, and had already felt very comfortable with her. She was very flexible with her scheduling which also made things much easier for me.

Pauline explained to me that this is usually done in 2 sessions. I have only attended one session so far, because I haven't felt the need for the second one yet. I have now been a non-smoker for five months, and believe that the suggestions that Pauline gave to my while under hypnosis contributed a great deal to that success.
