Hypnosesutton / Robyn Jaquays, M.A, Htc

I had a horrible time losing weight until I went to see Robyn. Not only could she offer me hypnotherapy, she also went above and beyond by helping me with nutritional counselling. Now, I've lost over 25 pounds and still going strong!

I suffered from migraines for 14 years which continually worsened over time to the point of having a 2 year headache. Not once could I remember in 2 years *not* having constant head pain. Doctors found nothing “medically wrong” (other than the fact that I was a migraine sufferer) after multiple CAT scans an other tests. They just kept telling me to try new meds, which did not work and had horrid side effects. I even went to the Migraine Clinique in Montreal, and they suggested I try anti-depressants. I wasn’t depressed until they told me that! LOL.

So, I started digging into alternative therapies. I tried eliminating wheat & dairy for 3 months, I tried acupuncture, chiropracti, cranio-sacral therapy, massage therapy and even had a very unpleasant liver flush in an attempt to escape the debilitating pain.

I was reluctant to try hypnotherapy because I was worried about not being in control. I had visions of someone dangling a watch in front of me and then dancing like a chicken in public! That’s not at all how it works and once Robyn explained to me that I would be aware of what’s happening the entire time and could decide to get up and walk away whenever I wanted, I decided to give it a try. She was right. When I’m under hypnosis, I am never unconscious or unaware. I really can get up and walk away and have full understanding that I’m lying in a chair receiving hypnotherapy treatment. The stigma and myths surrounding hypnosis are very unfortunate because I believe that more people could be helped if they were just willing to look past the “hippy-dippy hype”.

My results have been outstanding. I have been virtually pain free for a year now and I feel like myself again. On the rare occasion that I do have a headache, it’s nowhere near the level of pain that I had experienced in the last 14 years, and 90% of the time I can tell you why I’m having it (I skipped a meal, ate too much sugar, etc).

I feel like I have my life back. I can run with my kids again!! I have energy and enthusiasm and a zest for life that my husband, friends and family say they hadn’t seen in a very long time.

Robyn is excellent at what she does. She’s knowledgeable and respectful and very caring. She understands that it can be a big step to try something new, and was very kind when I expressed my concerns. She’s also great at explaining how the brain works and why hypnotherapy is so effective. She truly wants to help people, and it shows in her work. I highly recommend her services (which I have used in person and via Skype). She has changed my life for the better, and my family and I will always be grateful.
