A New Day Hypnosis

Im going on two years smoke free after seeing Laura. I had quit three other times and was so afraid to try again. Im so happy I took the leap!

I did a ten week hypnotherapy course with Laura and it was absolutely worth it. I had a relatively clear idea of what I wanted to achieve surrounding social anxiety issues as I worked with Laura, and our sessions evolved quickly during the course of our conversations and hypnosis sessions to not just tackle one issue, but two to three related issues. Very early on (by session 3) I noticed a significant difference in how I was reacting to lower pressure social situations, and that allowed us to explore some of the driving factors behind my more complex challenges. The way Laura was able to quickly adapt, react to, and lead the direction of the hypnosis sessions is, in my mind what sets her apart. It didn't feel formulaic, and the sessions were often highly personalized to things she had heard me say, or discoveries we made. Laura is clearly not only highly knowledgable in her field, but has a unique ability to both listen and then reposition effectively, pushing back when she needs to, and approaching any concerns or challenges from multiple angles until finding the right one. While I still have long term work to do to address some of my deeper rooted behaviors, Laura's work transformed how I look at myself, and how I react to most social situations. I have easily found 3 fold value in what I invested immediately, and her work has had an impact I know will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Hypnosis is often misunderstood.  In the old days, "performing" hypnotists used to entertain us by putting people to sleep with something like a swinging stopwatch and telling them they would do something goofy when they woke up.  Today's hypnotherapists are licensed or certified to change thought processes through cognitive discussion and repetitive psycho-suggestion (my layman's conclusion). While Laura is not the only hypnotherapist in Austin, she has to be among the best. Many years ago she helped me reduce my stress and sleep better, and lately she has helped me navigate the unexpected unknowns in my retirement life.  Her strengths are her amazing memory, her quick understanding of my problems, her empathy and humor, her instincts in knowing how to best help me, and her voice - the most calming, caring voice that I listen to over and over through the recorded audio sessions.  (I often fall asleep just listening because her voice is so soothing.) I recently learned that Laura is further broadening her treatment methods by adding new techniques that will help more of her clients.  To me that is an indication of her strong commitment to helping those who ask for her help and care.   Highly recommended!

Laura is a fantastic professional, engaging and accessible. I came to very much look forward to our sessions and looking back a year later I am struck by how much my life has changed. When I first reached out to Laura my drinking was getting out of control. I was terrified and desperate, very much feeling like I was at the end of my rope. She gave me hope and the belief that I could change while showing me the path. My results far exceeded any hope I had going in and I am extremely grateful.

Just had my first session today and I really enjoyed it. I felt a sense of relaxation that I have never felt before. I'm really looking forward to Future sessions and to get through the challenges I'm facing.
