Here are real Plymouth clients we’ve worked with:
Menopause & Weight — Lyn (5 sessions)
Hot flushes reduced dramatically within 1 week. She regained motivation, lost weight, started cooking again and said:
“I’ve got my mojo back.”
Fear of Flying & Heights — Karen (1 session)
A lifelong fear affecting school runs, bridges and holidays. After one session she said:
“I can’t find the fear anymore.”
Chronic Pain — Robert (1 session)
Severe pain despite strong opioids. Hypnosis relieved his pain even without medication.
"I haven't felt this good in ages."
These examples show what’s possible, not what’s guaranteed, but they’re real, local and recent.
