"As a registered Nurse for almost 30 years, when faced with my own surgery, I decided to practice the Imagery and Hypnotherapy techniques

I learned from Dr. T.The results were positively dramatic! No swelling. No bruising. Minimal Pain.

Thank you for teaching me about the therapeutic combination of art and science so it

can be of benefit to anyone who chooses to use the power of their own mind." Cheryl G., RN Santa Barbara, CA

“Thank you for your help and positive support on my first "hypnotherapy experience." It was quite an adventure and had
a very positive impact on my self-esteem and self-confidence. During the 3-day workshop, I reached an emotional
intensity I had never managed before, and that peak experience has greatly improved my level of trust in myself.
My time at the workshop was so very helpful; I enjoyed every minute of it! What a privilege for someone as shy as me
to go to such a fantastic workshop and not only come away with new hypnotherapy skills, but an avenue for open
communication, as well as improved morale. Thank you!"
-Lizbeth F., Vancouver, BC
