Surviving Brain Surgery

by megankh

After 6 months of looking for work, I had the opportunity to interview for my ideal job - selling medical equipment to neurosurgeons. As a test of my ability to stomach gruesome operations, I had to observe an 8 hour brain surgery....only problem? I used to faint whenever I saw needles, scalpels,or.blood. I saw Virginia ONLY ONCE. Not only did I survive the surgery, I was offered the job of my dreams. Virginia changed the course of my life in only an hour.

• Pros: changed my life in only one session
• Cons: none

Better Than Any Spa Treatment!

by MissDish

After only a few sessions with Virginia, I have made more progress toward my goals than I ever did after 20 years in therapy! I was OK, but stagnant and not really enjoying my life to the fullest; over-weight, un-motivated, un-inspired, and indecisive about pretty much everything. One decision that I was finally able to make was a call to Virginia. It was a life-changing decision and I am amazed and excited about the positive changes: incredible weightloss and a new enjoyment of exercise and healthy foods, a re-awakening of my creativity, self-confidence and optimism for the future. Hypnosis is nothing to fear, you are aware at all times, and Virginia provides a very soothing, tranquil, and safe experience. Her sessions should be on a spa menu! I leave her office feeling so much better than any massage or facial could make me feel. And, you know what they say..."if you feel good, you look good!"

• Pros: Results, results, results!
• Cons: None

Breaking old patterns

by yam123

I sought hypnotherapy because I had a great fear in relationships. I often felt like I was born with a curse or fated to experience only unrequited love. I had a unique attraction pattern where I would always attract narcissistic partners. These were partners who always put themselves first and not give back as much as I gave. I felt frustration, disappointment and over all disheartenment. Because of this repetitious experience, I had a nervous energy going into every new relationship, hence making me close myself off and not fully opened to the experience. I understood this and knew that I had to get some sort of help. I saw Virginia about 4 times and on our third session I really felt like the hypnosis was working. Virginia put me into a relaxing state and she fed me words that really nurtured my soul and empowered me. I for once in my life finally was able to express myself in a way that I hadn't done before. I fought for what I deserved and what I wanted and when it wasn’t given to me, I was able to let it go.

Hypnotherapy will not solve all your problems over night. It is subtle and nothing like what you perceive it to be. There is no clock swinging in front of your eyes, count to 10 and you're out! You are just so relaxed that you actually take the time to listen to what someone is saying and your chattering mind stops for a moment. Virginia’s voice is so calming and gentle you will feel instantaneously comforted. My best advice is to use hypnotherapy as a tool and not expect it to solve your problems without you yourself actively working at it simultaneously.

Best wishes to all and enjoy your hypnotic experience.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

How a stereotypical skeptical New Yorker came to love and trust hypnotherapy

by Billyray104

Despite working in the TV industry, I've long shied away from being in front of the camera. Ditto speaking to groups regardless whether they were my employees or to a gathering or making a presentation.

One session (1!) with Virginia and I learned enough to develop the means and mechanisms to cope with, and after a little practice, surmount my insecurities and camera-fright.

There was nothing remotely untoward or scary about the process. No being hypnotized or feeling out of control. Just clear-eyed advice accompanied with practical lessons.

On a dollar per value basis, I can't think of anything that compares in terms of effectiveness.

I whole-heartedly recommend Virginia - even to dyed-in-the-wool Manhattanites. All you have to lose are your fears!

• Pros: easy, relaxing, inexpensive, under my control

She made me a believer!

by bananas74

I was a bit skeptical about hypnosis at first, but I had tried so many other ways of coping with my issues that hadn't worked so I figured I would give it a try. I left the first visit dumbfounded by what had happened, it was amazing! In the days that followed I noticed small changes in my behavior, outlook and attitude overall. I seemed to have "broken through" whatever barrier had been preventing me from making real changes in the past. My second visit was even better and I can't wait for the next session! Give it a try, I am sure she'll make you a believer too!

• Pros: very relaxing environment
• Cons: ?

Excellent experience

Virginia was very easy to talk with and had a very comfortable office set-up. She took me through a targeted session that was incredibly relaxing and refreshing. I would highly recommend seeing her!

Great experience

by jillbz

I thought Virginia was an excellent hypnotherapist. She listened very well to the issues I came to deal with, and then created an hypnosis experience that was totally targeted to resolving those concerns. I would recommend her highly, and go again, myself.

Amazing experience!

by Gio1

I had considered hypnotherapy for a while when finally I decided to take a step forward and do it! I found Virginia and I have to say she is fantastic! After only a few sessions I feel so much better, more confident and I am able to manage stress in a more relaxed way. She made me feel so comfortable and after leaving her studio I realized how relaxed and 'light' I was feeling..Hypnotherapy is a great experience and I highly recommend Virginia.

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: No

Great way to move towards a positive outlook on life

by ljolin

I am currently a college student and suffer from tricholtillimania, which is a hair-pulling disorder. As a college student there are a lot of pressure, stress, and anxiety that induce my tricholtillimania, as well as make school much harder to deal with. I have seen multiple psychiatrists and psychologists, but the therapy was as successful as I had hoped. Recently I thought about hypnotherapy as a form of treatment, and that is how I met Virginia. Her hypnotherapy has been extremely helpful in giving me a positive attitude towards school and how to cope with stress better. She has helped me with my confidence in controlling and stopping my hair pulling, which has been of great success. I highly recommend Virginia to anyone who is looking for a way to better their lifestyle and who wants to free their mind of any anxiety or worries that can cause so much turmoil. I also recommend Virginia to any college students, who like me, has a difficult time coping with intense pressure and stress management. Thanks Virginia!

• Pros: good setting for relaxation

Why didn't I try this sooner?

by lefthanded

Things I talked about for years in regular therapy were resolved almost instantly after just a few hypno-therapy sessions with Virginia. It's a very relaxing process that generates tremendous results, in a very short amount of time. Therapy is good for people who just want to talk but for anyone who wants to see real change - give hypno-therapy a try. I'm a very happy, satisfied customer.

• Pros: I can see and feel the results
