Medical Testimonials

Pre/Post Surgery Testimonials:

I was extremely anxious because I was facing extensive surgery. I met with Suzanne one time who used medical hypnotherapy for me to become calm and relaxed throughout the whole surgery process. The pre-op nurses could not get over how calm and relaxed I was right before the surgery. After the 7-hour surgery, the post-op nurses and the surgeon were amazed that I needed so little pain medication. The surgeon was so impressed that he has invited Suzanne to work with his staff and is recommending her to his patients. I am now facing life with more peace and joy.  - Gloria V., RN

I was able to meet with Suzanne the day before I had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee.  I had double menisucus tears and I really only had a short time to adjust to the idea of having surgery after the injury.  As with any surgery, I had concerns about outcomes.  I had my session with Suzanne focusing on relaxation, comfort and ease of recovery through hypnosis.  On the day of surgery, one of the nurses asked if I had a pre-op relaxer because I looked so calm:  I hadn't and yet felt very relaxed and calm.  My healing is progressing well and I am easily doing my therapy with minimal distress and discomfort.  I told my Dr. about the pre-op hypnosis and he is now referring other patients to Suzanne, especially if they are anxious about their upcoming surgery. - Pam L., RN

I was in the hospital and found out that I needed surgery.  I called Suzanne and she was able to do a hypnotic process especially for pre-surgery over the telephone with me.  The next morning while in pre-surgery, I realized how calm and relaxed I was, instead of my usual anxiety.  After the surgery, I was amazed at how great I felt!  Since then I seem to be healing much quicker than I expected.  Thank you so much, Suzanne! - N.V., Business Owner
 

“I had always been skeptical of the work that you do, but since my husband insisted that I meet with you before my knee surgery, I decided to give it a try.  Thanks to your expertise, I was extremely pleased to feel very little pain in my healing and the doctor said I healed very quickly. 
As an extra bonus, I’m hitting the golf ball longer and straighter than I ever did before.  I know I will refer you to anyone I know who is facing surgery or who wants to improve their golf game.” 
- R.S., Amateur Golfer

“Before I had my cosmetic surgery, I was pulled in two different directions.  I was excited about getting my new body but I was petrified on how I would turn out especially since I bruise so easily and had no idea how long it would take me to recover.  After meeting with Suzanne I felt much calmer and learned how to focus on how I did want to look.  After the surgery, the doctor told me
it went very easily and he was amazed how quickly I healed.  I also had very little bruising.  Thank you, Suzanne.  I know have the body I always dreamed of and feel perfectly fine.”

Other Medical Testimonials:

“I called you in great fear because the doctors had found a spot on my lung and were meeting me the following week to schedule surgery.  You immediately came to my home, worked with me, and helped discover when I had made the decision to have negative things happen to my body.  When I went back to the doctor, he found nothing on the new x-ray and dismissed me.  Since I have found and removed the root cause of all my illnesses, I am now finding my life to be healthier and happier.  Thank you Suzanne.”  - A.S., Business Owner

"I have been having trouble with my knee, and I went to Suzanne for a treatment. She worked with me, and through the process, I realized I was clearing out many emotional issues I had been carrying from years ago. By the time we were done, my knee was much better, and has continued to heal. And as a bonus, I am now better able to focus on my goals. I highly recommend Suzanne's treatments to assist you in moving out of stuckness and into mobility."
- L.C., Business Owner

"I came to Suzanne with the condition known as Trichotillomania which meant that I had attacks of uncontrollable pulling out of my hair.  In only a few sessions you assisted me in getting to the root cause of the condition and I learned the strategies to control the compulsive behavior from ever occurring again.  Thank you, Suzanne!" - S.P., Real Estate Executive
 

“I had a severe allergy to cats and had to use an inhaler when I visited people who had cats in their homes. I’m single and met a man that I liked very much but he owned two cats. I wanted to be with him, yet didn’t want him to know of my allergy. I met with Suzanne and after one session, I did not have any reaction when I visited my date at his home. One year later, I am no longer seeing him, but am still cat allergy free. Thanks, Suzanne!” - J. J., Pharmacist
