I was hypnotized for weight reduction. I am now 35 pounds lighter, my blood pressure is great, my LDL went from 157 to 106, triglycerides from 207 to 66. I no longer have heart burn. My legs no longer bother me. I feel physically fit enough to get on the treadmill. To top off everything, I am constantly told how great I
look. Rudi, I have been following the Zone which you told me about and have lots of energy and don't have those cravings.

I can't tell you how happy I am. I know this is life commitment and if I falter I will make an appointment to get back on track.

Thanks from my healthy new way of living.

In the end of August I was diagnosed with a simple goiter while on vacation in Hawaii. A surprise to us all. It was the size of a shooter marble (about 1 inch in diameter) on the right side of my throat. When I returned to Madison, Chad Oler, my Naturopath and I had a conversation about it and determined the best possible course of action was not a biopsy as had been suggested after my thyroid panel of blood tests turned out absolutely normal. We were convinced it was a clear signal to me through my body that I needed to address some unspoken 5th chakra issues. We were both confident that hypnotherapy would help me access what those issues were.

My first meeting with you was amazingly reassuring and powerful and proved I could indeed be hypnotized. OK, now we were going to work. Next session I did a regression with you that spontaneously took to the age of a fetus in my mother's womb, a very young one. And then further to a past life. It was eye opening. At the end of the session, I felt my throat and remarked, "Oh, by the way my goiter is about half the size it was." I think it was your expression that made me realize how important that was! I hadn't really thought about it - I was just doing the emotional work and following your instructions on the CD you gave me (falling asleep 1/3 of the way through the first track. So I didn't even know what you were saying - and this is two weeks into it!) :)

The third and fourth weeks were equally as emotionally moving and clarifying for me and as we said good-bye at our last session before I moved to Hawaii, you asked how my throat was. I hadn't even checked it for days and when I put my fingers to my throat - the goiter was gone! Four weeks - healed.

I thank you SO MUCH. I know I was ready to do the work but you were the critical catalyst and I appreciate your skill, your attitude, and your love - it was immensely apparent. We did good work together, didn't we?

"I never knew I had it in me until I got a good look at myself and saw a beautiful person with lots of possibilities."

"First of all I would like to thank you for your session at Whole Foods for smoking cessation. I haven't even touched a cigarette since. It has made a huge difference in my ability to breath. I can now do 50 jumping jacks (our warm up) at my Karate class without feeling like I am going to die! It's absolutely wonderful to be free from cigarettes. I amaze myself when I do not think twice about smoking with friends. It just won't happen. I've tried quitting numerous times, but always ended up cheating here and there which resulted in getting the nasty habit back. Thank you so much for your help!!!"

"I smoked for 30 years and tried almost everything. It was so easy with hypnosis and I didn't replace it with other negative habits. Thank you!"

"The way I felt before hypnosis was like viewing life through a foggy window and now someone has opened the window."

"Hypnosis opens a lot of doors in your mind that have been closed for a long time."

"I'm emailing to inform you that I've not bitten my nails since I left your office, which is 30 days today. Actually it has been no desire to bite my nails. This has been cool and a real experience for me. Thanks!!!!"

"Sometimes I think this is too easy after so many years of struggle with external opinions, I know it is me doing it. I don't know how it works but it works!

"My clothes are getting too large!"

"My confidence is creeping up on me."

"Things are easier because I don't criticize as much."

"It was wonderful and powerful. Where I have come in the short time spent with you is amazing."

"Released 13 pounds--Clothes are much more comfortable and some are almost big. Activity is far easier already."

"My belt has been cinched 4 inches." "I lost 15 pounds of fat, gained 5 pounds muscle, net loss of 10 pounds."

"I gained an internal peace of mind, focus and a general feeling of well-being. I learned to relax!"

"I like the person I've touched during hypnosis or the inner me with all of the possibilities and the great health. I am becoming more her on the outside."

"I went from 'as little as possible' (physical activity) to 5 days a week. The 4th week of Curves I was able to start jogging in place."

"I feel that everything we have done is just what I needed to get me going again in a positive direction."

"Getting in touch with myself: my body and my mind, and essentially my soul. Yoga helped me focus on my physical self and, after I "got it", focus on my inner self and beauty of the earth around me--to see how I and it all work together. Hypnosis helped me learn relaxation and focus on my inner soul."

"I am calmer, more centered. HAPPY! I feel more in touch with myself. I tend to sit up straighter in the car and at work."

"I am not so judgmental concerning myself. I have gained more acceptance of myself."

Much gratitude to our most recent class participants; we have learned so much and appreciate ALL that you gave to us along the way! THANK YOU!

I had another amazing birth experience. My labor started on the morning of the 1st. My Mom came over to help with my three-year-old, and we had a wonderful day. We even went out to lunch, all while I was having surges. Finally, by 3:00 it was time to go to the hospital. The surges were almost 3-4 minutes apart. I was so calm when I arrived, the nurses didn't think I was very far.

They quickly got me a room, however, and I climbed into the tub. When they did check my progess again, they were amazed. The intern actually said that she was shocked to see how far I was dilated because most women would be screaming by then!

Then I shocked everyone again by announcing that I felt like pushing so I started to get out of the pool. Thinking we had plenty of time to do the pushing, the nurse and my husband started to help me to the bed. However, Leyna decided otherwise. With a transition time of about 30 seconds, I started yelling that this was it! Leyna simply fell out. The nurse caught her like a football while I stood in the tub. I looked up and there were my doctor, the intern, and another nurse with their jaws on the floor. My wonderful doctor had come in on her day off to deliver the baby and just missed it.

I guess our experience was the talk of the nurses station. They referred to Leyna as the "water baby". Even staff who were not assigned to us came over to see her and talk with us about Hypnobirthing.

I felt great emotionally and physically. There was only one tiny, minor tear that did not even require stiches! Leyna was also happy and healthy. She nursed well from the beginning and was so calm and alert moments after her birth.

I am so grateful for my first Hypnobirthing experience with my son Nolan (who is now almost 3) and now with my daughter Leyna. Both were so powerful and empowering. I feel very proud and grateful for the experience. Thank you for helping me to discover an inner well of strength that I didn't know I had.

A few nights ago, I came home to a voicemail message saying "Hi! This is Laura and we're at the hospital to stay this time! I was at 5-6 cm at my appt. today and now my surges are 2 min apart and I'm at 7 cm and feeling no pain and just wanted to say thank you!" Laura was in labor with her second baby. She had the first baby with no drugs (except pitocin) and said that she just "wanted to be more graceful about it" this time. She was very skeptical about the idea that she didn't have to feel pain, because her first birth was very painful and the only reason she didn't have the epidural was that it moved so fast. I was so excited to hear that she was birthing comfortably, like we all know she could!

I talked to Laura the day after her HypnoBirthing baby was born. She was absolutely ecstatic. She said that she went to her dr. appt. having surges but expecting nothing, only to find that she was open 5-6 cm. Her dr. sent her to the hospital and told her to have her husband bring her some food so she wasn't going in undernourished (yay!). After she ate, her and her husband walked around the unit until her surges were 2 minutes apart. At that point, she was checked and still only at 6 cm. With Laura's first birth, her membrane released prior to labor so we did a lot of visualizations on a strong bag of waters. She kept saying in class "I just want to make it to 5 cm before my membrane releases." When she found that she was still only open to 6, she asked her doctor to rupture her membranes. She said she felt really good about this decision, because she had gotten where she wanted to be. After this point, things began moving more quickly, and her and her husband continued walking the halls until she was open to 8 cm. She said that she was so calm, a mother of the woman laboring in the next room came out and said "you're not in labor are you?" to which Laura cheerily replied "yep! i'm at 7 cm!" and the woman said "but you're not even upset" and Laura said "that's because I'm using HypnoBirthing!". (woo hoo!) Laura said that her pastor and his wife came down to sit with them for a while, and they could not believe how calm and in control she was. They would be talking and she would say "hang on a sec" and go into her relaxation and then come right back out and finish her sentence. When she was open to 9 cm, she asked everyone to leave so she could get down to business, at which point her husband rubbed her back while she leaned against him. When it was time to breathe the baby down, she said she had a moment of flashing back to her previous, painful birth which scared her, but it was her doctor who actually reminded her to stay in THIS birth and let her body work. (yay!) After the head was out, the shoulders were stuck and the doc apparently became concerned and said "Laura, I need you to use all your energy to help get his shoulders out" and both the doc and the nurses were amazed at how she was so able to focus herself and connect with her body to let her baby be born.

Justin David weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs 14 ozs. With Laura's first baby (7 lbs. 14 ozs.) she tore all the way to her rectum, but this time she had "a tiny tear, barely noticeable." When I talked to Laura, nurses had been stopping by all day to talk to her about what a great birth she had. It was the first HypnoBirthing that her doctor had ever attended and she said "that's it! I'm recommending this to ALL my patients!!" Laura said that there is a "world of difference" between this birth and the first, adding that she was able to move around and do things, and felt wonderful!
