I have found the hypnosis experience to be very positive. I have not eaten between meals for the last two weeks. I now drink 8 glasses of water a day and in the past disliked water. I feel happy, content and have had no desire to eat items that I used to be drawn to. I purchase items for my husband that would have been temptations in the past and do not feel deprived.

I've noticed a difference in my life routine. I've been exercising more without more effort. My eating habits have changed where I'm eating healthier foods and not snacking as much. And I'm finding that I have more energy than I did at the start of the program.
Frank Taylor
Derry, NH

After 8 weeks I have lost 10 pounds. My waistline has reduced by 2 inches. The most noticeable change is I am relaxed and focused as I choose my meals and do my workouts. My daily intake of soda and fast food is nearly zero and I have shifted my diet mainly to fish and vegetables. Further, I work out six times a week and enjoy my time at the gym. I feel confident going forward that I will continue to make progress.
Owen Welch
Dracut, MA

I have lost a little weight and my fitness has improved considerably. I am learning to eat like a thin person and am noticing concrete improvement in my habits and attitude toward food. I tend to use it less like a crutch and am more aware of how what I eat makes me feel.
Leslie Haltbakk
Merrimack, NH

During these last few weeks I have noticed a change in my needs vs wants. I used to need foods that were bad for me. Although I knew they were bad for me, I felt completely overwhelmed that I needed them. Now, my mind has learned to shut that off. I no longer need to eat when I'm stressed or sad. I'm also craving healthy foods. I want to eat better and I'm feeling satisfied when I do. I'm more in control of my emotions and they, and my old food cravings, no longer control me.
Kerri Enwright
Manchester, NH

Most importantly my attitude has changed. I think, eat, and exercise more positively. Hypnosis flipped a switch that I could not have done on my own. I feel good about my eating and exercise choices and I acct everyday to reach my goal. This positive attitude has reached out to the rest of my life as well.
Kelley Violette
Brookline, NH

I have found I have more control/discipline when I am faced with food/alcohol choices. The subliminal support is really there. One of the benefits I did not expect was the ability to have 8 hours of sleep a night. The tapes have helped me to relax and gain normal sleep patterns.
Kristin Belsky
Salem, NH

Let me just start by saying that I have been "dieting" "forever" and so far have had no success – that is until now. I've only been coming for 3 weeks & already feel like a new person! I have tons of energy (I even started doing ZUMBA)!!! I feel great, my clothes are already starting to feel big – I can't wait to see what happens in the next 4 weeks!!!
Theresa Bisson
Nashua, NH

It is amazing how after just a few sessions I am changing the way I eat and how I view exercise. I don't want or need those sweets that I always went to for comfort. I'm finding that I am enjoying working out each day and have no trouble drinking all of my water. I can't wait to see my new thinner self!
Heather Porter
Nashua, NH

I can see habits changing in the way I now look at food. I can choose to eat a food when I want, knowing if I don't choose to have it right now, I can have it later. I pay more attention to how food tastes and I take time to slowly enjoy & savor the flavors. I feel more calm in my food choices I now make. And when I eat, it's because I am hungry & I don't let the time of day be the decision factor for when I eat.
Debra Jean
Nashua, NH

This is great. It helps me say no to foods that I don't need. It helps me crave healthy foods. Most of all it helps me want to work out. I look forward to my daily workout. My outlook is much more positive. And I am starting to feel great about myself! Results.
Jim Kattell
Nashua, NH

I have done hypnosis for weight loss before. This is the first time that the program has a rhythm: a beginning, a midpoint, and an endpoint. I had been at a stagnant point in my weight loss for over a year. I have started losing weight again. I exercise everyday. I have avoided the pitfalls and excuses that I once had. My doctor is pleased with my success and interested in the system.
Chuck
Hudson, NH

I have struggled for a long time trying to get my mind in the right place. This program has changed habits for me to take me toward my goal. I now enjoy water, exercise, and I am seeing results which provides positive reinforcement. It is nice to take time for myself on a regular basis. I am more calm and happier as a result of this adventure!
Maureen Quinn
Nashua, NH

My experience with the hypnosis sessions over the last eight weeks has been absolutely wonderful. The relaxation that comes from each session and the tapes at home are overwhelming and so helpful to your thought process to aid in eating and exercise. I have lost 10 lbs and 8 1/2 inches so far. I have more energy and an overall feeling of health. If you can possibly do this program, take advantage and just do it.
Dorothy Gail Hevey
Merrimack, NH

The hypnotic sessions are a wonderful way to relax and to get subconscious suggestions which really work in everyday life. Each session is geared to progress this weight loss and life changing experience. Melissa does a thorough and professional job at explaining and relationship comparison to my everyday life and needs. I am looking forward to becoming a slim, attractive, and healthy "baby boomer."
Donna Lord

After week 3, I am beginning to see myself image changing as I look in the mirror. I feel proud of my work towards my goal.
Vivian St. Hilaire
Merrimack, NH

I just have to tell anyone who is going through what I am going through that this is a great life changing experience for me. I am dealing with back and leg issues and thought I can't lose weight because I can't exercise so why bother. It's not true. I've changed my eating habits which gives me more energy so I feel better about myself. I was able to cut down on my diabetic medicine and most of all, feeling proud of myself for the first time in 20 years.
Sandra Chamberlain
Brookline, NH

I have spent the last few weeks since I have started hypnosis more aware of my choices and advocating for myself more. I feel more empowered, less of a victim, and more responsible for my own actions. I have amazingly been able to exercise for an hour a day, which was virtually impossible before, as I had no interest in doing so even though I wanted to enjoy exercise.
Kathleen Nelson
Nashua, NH

It has been only a few short weeks and the changes I have made have been very good. I am loving drinking more water. My eating habits have changed. I am not shopping down every aisle in the groceries stores, looking to add more vegetables. Not sure how much weight I have lost yet, but my knees are feeling better, my face is thinning out. My clothes are starting to get looser. I look forward to continue my positive changes.

Stop Smoking Testimonials

I am amazed at how positive this has been and easy to keep focused. I was a smoker for 40 years and it feels great to be a non-smoker. Look forward to finding new things to fill the void and life as a non-smoker. Not controlled by the habit. The desire to be non-smoker has helped push me past the difficulties of prior attempts. I feel great!
Mark Warner
Rindge, NH

I have been a smoker for 10 years and have tried everything from patches to gum and also Chantix with no positive results. I haven't had this success in 10 years. It's been 3 weeks with only 1 setback and I'm confident it will continue. Thank you, Melissa for helping me with hypnosis. I feel much more relaxed and positive.
Pamela Soucy
Hudson, NH

Melissa helped me quit nicotine gum and tobacco. I quit by gradually cutting back between sessions. The CDs were helpful as well. Thank you, Melissa.
John P Kolozetski
Westford, MA

I never thought of myself as a "heavy" smoker – but I smoked every day and felt that need to "take a smoke break" more than I realized. My mother was hypnotized back in the 80's and it worked great for her. I thought "why not – I'm not a "heavy" smoker." WOW! I couldn't believe how just after the first session I felt like I have never smoked and how could I have done that to myself for those years! I have been given the tools and strength to not only deal with any urges but to have the confidence to remain smoke free!
Lisa Ward
Litchfield, NH

My 1st nonsmoking experience lasted a solid 5 months. Only after several stressful life events did I return to smoking. And so I returned to see Melissa, knowing how she had helped me. This 2nd round of sessions has left me solidly confident that my smoking habit is behind me. I have new techniques to relax and will continue to use my meditation CDs to help me reinforce my new nonsmoking status!
Lisa McCarron
Dunstable, MA

I was relaxed, the urges to smoke stopped after a few days. I feel more energetic and know this time I have quit for good.
Peggy LaFrance
Nashua, NH

Stopping smoking came fairly easily over the last week. In the past attempts to quit, the overwhelming thoughts of smoking always brought failure. Through these hypnosis sessions, constant thoughts of smoking has not happened.
Mark LaFrance
Nashua, NH

After smoking for 30 years on and off, I decided to call it quits for good. A friend suggested Melissa, stating 13 weeks and not even a desire. After my first session, I was smoke free, one week later I tried a cigarette and threw it out. It just wasn't for me. I highly recommend Melissa for your quitting needs.
Warren McQuaide
Tyngsboro, MA

I'm a nonsmoker!! After 30 years + a few failed attempts over the years, hypnosis did the trick. Melissa's support during the sessions was key to my success. At the same time it is up to you. You want to have to do it & you can. I'm so proud of this accomplishment + that I no longer feel controlled by the nasty smoking habit. Thank You.
Michael Sliwa
Nashua, NH

I have smoked on & off for over 30 years, more on than off. I have tried many things, meds, patches. Hypnosis is helping my mind, my stress level & to keep me calm. The first hypnosis help to decrease my smoking instead of smoking a pack a day, I smoked a pack a week. The next session, I only smoked puffs now & then. Each time I had less pleasure smoking they tasted bad. I was more relaxed & calm without them. Now I have a total of four sessions & have been smoke free for almost 2 weeks. I feel strong & know I am a nonsmoker. Hypnosis has worked for me. Thank you Melissa for all your help.
Mary Thompson
Nashua, NH

After 3 sessions, I feel confident about remaining a nonsmoker. My cravings have severely diminished and I can quickly pass through a craving to smoke with the techniques Melissa taught me. The CDs were key after the first couple of sessions to help me relax and keep my commitment to myself to be a nonsmoker. I'm glad I finally made the choice to do hypnosis & only wish I had done it sooner.
Lisa McCarron
Dunstable, MA

I came to Melissa as a 16 year smoker of 1 – 1 1/2 packs per day. I completely quit after just 1 session and after 3 weeks not even thinking of it. I am a non-smoker. By contrast, my wife quit cold turkey at the same time. We found that I was much less irritable and had an "easier" time quitting than her. Melissa made a BIG difference in my life and I would recommend hypnosis to the smoker that has tried to quit and is serious about quitting.
Nicholas Curreri
Nashua, NH

I have smoked for over 25 years. Before the first session, I threw my cigarettes away. Melissa does a great job. After my first session, I was smoke free. I did not think that it was going to be this easy. Thanks, Melissa.
Gerry Holland
Hudson, NH

I've been chewing and taking commit lozenges for 16+ years. After my 1st session, I quit both. It's been two weeks and I'm nicotine free and feel great. This has been very helpful and really works. I have no intention of ever having nicotine again.
Keith
Brookline, NH

I was a smoker for 15 years. I had tried to quit several times before and failed each time after struggling with urges. I hated being a smoker and hid it from co-workers and employees for years. I was a bit leary on trying hypnosis but now I am so glad that I did. I never smoked after my first appointment and did not have any urges to. I would greatly recommend hypnosis to anyone looking to quit smoking.
Bridget York
Manchester, MA

My first visit I was very unsure if this really works. Melissa explained the process and away we went. The experience was truly a success. After my first visit I never thought it would work. One day after another, I am still a non-smoker. I just completed my first week of being a non-smoker. Have no doubt, stop by with a positive mindset and you too will become a non-smoker. Best wishes and never quit. There is always hope.
David Nevins
Nashua, NH

I smoked 2 packs a day for 30 plus years. I tried the patch, nicotine gum, Chantix, Wellbutrin, and all that stuff many times with no success. After my first session I stopped smoking immediately. As a matter of fact I threw my cigarettes and lighter away as soon as I got home. There were times that I wanted a cigarette, but I remembered I'm a nonsmoker now and that worked. The feeling passed quickly. I will recommend this to all my smoking friends. I'm a nonsmoker!
Mike Lavoie
Nashua, NH

I came here with my husband for both of us to quit smoking and he has not had a cigarette since the first visit. I had a few cigarettes after the visit, but I have not had one since my second visit and I feel really great about this whole process.
Tracy Lavoie
Nashua, NH

I have smoked for 46 years and am smoke free now. I threw my cigarettes away as I walked into my first session. I am much more conscious about what I am eating & when I eat. Clothes are fitting better in week 4.

Stress/Other Testimonials

When I first came to Melissa I felt my life was out of control. I was caught in a vicious cycle of drinking heavily and hating myself for it and therefore repeating the process. Melissa helped me to realize that I could take control of my life and helped me to tap back into my self-confidence. In working with Melissa and practicing the tools she has given me, my life has greatly improved. Drinking is not an issue for me anymore. I feel more centered, calm, in control, and confident. I'm so grateful & pleased with how much this helped me and I know I will continue to use the tools for the rest of my life.
Judy Griffin
Tyngsboro, MA

When I came to Melissa for the first time, I was depressed and miserable. My wife cheated on me and left me for another man. At that time, I was going through a divorce with a broken heart and a damaged ego. Melissa offered her help through hypnosis with a goal of breaking the emotional attachment to my ex so I can move on with my life and leave the painful memories in the past. I started noticing difference right after the initial sessions. I was able to better control my emotions, sleep better, focus and start enjoying small things in life. It was the beginning of a long healing process of putting my marriage in the past. Melissa helped me tremendously. I still use some of her hypnosis sessions to build my confidence but now (a year later) I'm as strong and happy as I was before. I'm very grateful to Melissa for her understanding, moral support, and meaningful conversations that in the combination with the hypnosis let me overcome the most difficult time in my life. Thank you, Melissa! I will be always grateful for that.

I have made consistent progress toward my goal. The skin picking habit is greatly reduced. I have also used the techniques to work on other goals. I have found the sessions to be completely relaxing + enjoyable. The techniques for relaxation have also helped me get to sleep easier. Thank you!
Loretta Bolen

Prior to hypnosis, I was suffering from anxiety and an irrational nausea association to restaurants due to food poisoning. The conditions were related. Melissa helped me learn to relax, control my stress, and break the negative associations with going out to eat. I've made vast improvements in short time and now have the tools to help myself manage stress and anxiety in other areas as well.
Andrew Cabana
Nashua, NH

My experience with hypnosis sessions was great! I feel more confident with myself. The practices that I have learned gave to me more energy and concentration in my activities. My improvement has growing day by day, and I hope to continue with the practices. I also can help others with the same issue that I had. Be positive!
Dardania Estevao
Nashua, NH

Before I started hypnosis, I was a nervous wreck. Standing in front of a group of people, small or big, was the worst thing I could imagine. Hypnosis really helped me to just relax and turn my fears into excitement. I still get "nervous" before a speech in front of people, but I don't sweat and shake anymore. I can focus better on my message rather than my nervousness.
Andrea Goulet
Hudson, NH

I found this to be helpful in creating a new system for changing my thought patterns. I have a new skill that will allow me to create a better state of consciousness through subconscious development. I will keep practicing these techniques and I feel confident that this process can help lead me back on track if I ever get off track from my goals.
