Success Stories

I have had the pleasure of working with Melanie for hypnotherapy and wow, is she is a gift to this world.  Her kindness, warmth and knowledge in guiding me on my path to profound healing bring me tears of joy. She is not only so eloquent with her words, but also is a genius in her craft and abilities as a holistic healer. There are times when I go into a session with her and I have no idea what I need or want and she has such an amazing gift to give me the safe space that brings me clarity and peace. I have never felt more in balance in my life since working with Melanie. Her love for facilitating holistic ways to heal ourselves shine through. I truly can't thank Melanie enough for what she has done for me. It is my honor and joy to recommend Melanie for your healing needs. 

I have been struggling to write about my experience with Melanie as a hypnotherapist and hypnotic coach for a few reasons. The first is that there is just simply so much to say. And the second is that I want it to seem genuine, and yet I have noticed so much growth and progress it seems too good to be true.
I began my work with Melanie when I was in a relatively dark place. I was pretty depressed, I had felt for years that I had no support, and when I was reaching out for help all around it didn’t seem to be there. My very first session with Melanie felt like I was completely held and supported with love. I had received other hypnotherapy over the years, and yet somehow my session with Melanie felt the most tender, and so beautifully caring.
With her coaching & guidance, I was able to gain new perspective and gain clarity in many areas of life. We originally were focusing on my growing a new business. In such large part to her help, I no longer experience the debilitating anxiety, overwhelm, and panic that I had around starting my own business. I am definitely still in growth mode with my business, and have not yet reached my financial goals, but I now work from a place that I am confident on my path and in my growth. At times there is a healthy amount of urgency around financials, but I can take that as a signal to take action rather than become paralyzed with fear and doubt .
I also want to speak to a very personal level of change that Melanie helped facilitate. I am 42 years old and have memories as young as seven years old hating my body. I have made career choices over the years, romantic choices, and social choices based so deeply in that hatred. As I look back on experiences, I wish I could have just gotten out of my head about what everyone must think of how I look. Actually, the more I try to explain, the more I realize it’s simply cannot put into words just how much that self-loathing has negatively affected every layer of my life.
I know from my own experience that hypnotherapy and hypnotic coaching can have a ripple effect in life. Yes, someone might hit their hypnotherapy goals of maybe not smoking or overcoming anxiety, but they also might manage stress better, have better sleep, and notice those positive changes in many areas of life. I KNEW to expect that, and STILL I was not prepared for the “side effects“ of our work together.
One day, I was laying on my bed focusing on my phone, and casually running a hand over my hip in a completely absent minded way. I was a little sore from the gym, and was just working out some tension. Melanie and I had completed probably eight or nine sessions together at this point. I remember so clearly noticing the improved tone and shape of that part of my body, and thinking “I love my body“ and then I realized what I had thought! Wait a minute! What? I LOVE my body?!?! What a novel an unexpected thought to have had for the first time in 42 years! I had to stop and question it. I had to really examine the thought because it seemed too good to be true. But that examination only confirmed my feelings… I love my body! I have been learning how to love myself in a complete new way, and it's beautiful. And not to say that I go around proclaiming how amazing I am, but I also dont move through my life full of doubt and fear that eventually my loved ones will realize how horrible I am. I just accept that they love me, and I love them, and can stay present enjoying experiences.

I sought out hypnotherapy when experiencing debilitating depression, anxiety, and panic attacks following a move across the country. I was already using traditional therapy, alternative health practitioners, supplements, herbs, and many self-help techniques in addition to a daily yoga, qigong and meditation practice.

After just a few sessions, I was driving home and noticed how good I felt. I was exhausted from a long day of physical labor, and still felt really really good. Even all the colors of my surroundings- the water and the sky seemed brighter.

Something in my brain was able to get switched with the hypnotherapy sessions that wasn’t happening with everything else I had tried or was doing. I was close to giving up hope that things would change or could be different. Thank you Melanie for the work you do!

I highly recommend Melanie’s work to help overcome any type of block or feelings of stuck-ness that are keeping you from enjoying life to the fullest!

There will be a time in your life when you will need deep healing with consistent work. The sessions with Melanie are always a place that feels safe, soothing and rejuvenating.
