GBBefore my first experience with Sandy… Before my first experience with Sandy Ames, I was in therapy for thirteen years with spotty results and ineffective medication. My mind and body were out of wack; I was overweight and severely depressed; my anxiety kept me indoors and unable to sleep at night. I also experienced physical pain, and my addictions were out of control. For years, something kept nagging me (in the back of my head) that "I" was the actual cause of all the mishaps in my life, and I decided to try hypnotherapy. With no expectations and nothing to lose, I attended my first secession. I loved Sandy immediately. She is welcoming, kind, funny, and professional. Additionally, she shares candid and impactful stories, a strategic component of hypnotherapy. But the most astonishing element of the whole process is how immediate and natural the results feel. Areas of my life that I struggled with for years were no longer a part of my daily life. Then the next thing I knew, they were out of my life completely. Miraculously I stand here today, having gained control and focus over various areas of my life. It is wild; I am happier now, my addictions have subsided, I lost weight, and so much more. Although I was apprehensive, Sandy introduced the importance of meditation. Now, I practice it daily through hypnotherapy mediations (MP3s) on the Sandy Ames website (SANDY AMES HYPNOTHERAPY CLINIC); they are incredibly worthwhile to check out. Thank you Sandy

GBDID NOT GO AS EXPECTED! DID NOT GO AS EXPECTED! When I consulted Sandy for hypnotherapy in the hopes of quitting smoking, I expected results. Result(s) being defined as “ a consequence, effect, or outcome of something”. What I got were definitely results in the form of quitting smoking - or as Sandy puts it, “(becoming) a permanent ex-smoker”, AND about 800-900% more! Like many, I was a LITTLE skeptical about the effectiveness of hypnosis on my stubborn, control freak, neuroses ridden infrastructure of a personality, but all my doubts had vanished within the first 20 minutes of our first session. Sandy treats you (clinically and personally) as a whole person; examining the root causes of whatever issues you may have, NOT JUST as client who wants an end result. After 4 sessions, the lessons I learned, the bond I formed with this therapist, and the seeds that were planted have not only led to the cessation of my cigarette use, but have rooted themselves so deeply that I am subconsciously implementing them in all facets of my life, including the betterment of my career, weight loss and healthy eating, and an overall feeling of heightened wellbeing and happiness. I think Sandy’s rates are extremely fair (a bargain really) and if I had the time I would continue doing weekly sessions SIMPLY because she improves the quality of my life. It was nothing less than a trip in the literal and existential meaning of the word. Thank you, Sandy, from the bottom of my heart!!!! Unlike 2020, Sandy Ames Hypnotherapy is HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

GBTruly an amazing professional. Truly an amazing professional. Sandy was able to help me with my weight loss. So far, I am down over 80 pounds, and it truly felt effortless. The second you meet her you will understand just what great hands you are in. Sandy took the time to get to know me. She was very insightful into what would work for me and what would not. I suspect everyone is different and she tailored a program just for me. Her voice is soothing and when coupled with her intuition, was exactly what I needed. I admit to thinking hypnosis was a bit hocus pocus, but after meeting with Sandy and having a few session, I am a true believer. Sandy tok the time to explain why it works and why the subconscious part of my brain would react the way it did. I have taken to calling her Doctor Sandy, because she really is at that level of her profession. No matter what your issue, you will be in the best hands with Sandy.

GBSandy helped my anxiety SO MUCH Sandy helped my anxiety SO MUCH! Before coming to Sandy I had explored traditional therapy and been coping with CBD oil to ease my nerves around school and self esteem. As any millennial, I wanted what seemed like an immediate change to take place in my life and Sandy helped me achieve just that (well pretty close)! It takes a conscious effort to keep up with being mindful and consistent, but in the days following my session I felt a positive shift in my confidence and attitude about school and my abilities. Sandy taught me how to recognize my anxious response and treat it as just that, a response that even though it may come naturally for me, it is only as powerful as I allow it to be. Sandy immediately put me at ease and helped me understand the basis of this method. I know hypnotherapy sounds wild, but trust me, it was worth it!!! Thank you Sandy!

AULife changing I went to Sandy for help with a specific issue, and walked away with so much more. Over the course of four weeks, Sandy not only helped me to achieve my initial goals, but also worked with me to develop a broader framework for dealing with stress, engaging in my relationships and, most importantly, understanding and taking care of myself. In doing so, she has transformed my ability to manage my traps of anxiety and perfectionism. I feel more empowered, in control and "myself" than I can remember. I now realise just how much anxiety and burnout was impacting on every aspect of my life. Thanks to my work with Sandy I am so much better able to understand, appreciate, and enjoy my friends, family and myself. Without a doubt, seeing Sandy was one of the best decisions I have ever made!
