Use Cases:

Self-Hypnosis for Stress Relief and Deep Relaxation:

• The tremendous volume of research provides compelling evidence that hypnosis is an efficacious treatment for state anxiety (e.g., prior to tests, surgery and medical procedures) and anxiety-related disorders, such as headaches and irritable bowel syndrome.
• In a 2003 study, 71 percent of 204 irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients reported improved symptoms after 12 weekly hour-long hypnosis sessions, the APA reported. Of those who reported improvements, 81 percent continued to feel better up to six years after the hypnosis treatment had ended, according to the study.
• Self-hypnosis is an effective tool for physical and emotional support between therapy sessions.

Patient Testimonials:

“I was terrified of dying once I found out I had heart disease. Even as a yoga teacher, I could never drop in as deeply with yoga as Stacy taught me to relax. She helped me transform my anger and fear into acceptance and seeing what I could learn from this experience. Hypnosis brought my sleep back and got rid of my long history of irritable bowel syndrome. I would notice even listening to the hypnosis in the morning, I had much calmer reactions and a more relaxed state of mind throughout my day.”

"My daughter is ten and suffers from so much anxiety that she can't go to school. One of the things she looks forward to most is her Skype session with Stacy. She has such an amazing way with kids. My daughter would ask to listen to the recording Stacy made for her before and after situations that used to terrify her and now do not. Thanks to Stacy, she is going out more than ever before, doctor's visits are so much easier and she is even taking a yoga class. I cannot get over how quickly she has progressed in such a short time."

"I originally came to Stacy because my seven year old son was so angry and hitting his younger sister. Stacy was amazing at facilitating peace processes between my two children and getting to the bottom of my son's anger. My kids adore her. My husband and I ended up seeing her for our relationship and she completely transformed our entire family system for the better."
