TEST PREP: It seems that since I took the MCAT my mind has been in a daze. I think the test went well! It
was remarkably hard, as to be expected. The good part is that I maintained a steady mood with no
self-criticism throughout the entire test! This for me was revolutionary. I feel good that I was able to take
the test with a clear head...that alone feels like a big deal. I haven't yet gotten my score, but I'll give you an
idea of how it went numbers-wise when I find out.Thank you again for all of your help and encouragement.
The hypnotherapy sessions were (and are) without a doubt incredibly helpful. Ana R. Student
PUBLIC SPEAKING: I just wanted to let you know my presentation went GREAT! I was pretty nervous right
before and was definitely battling the demons! However as soon as I started talking, I was fine! I was able
to keep my head on straight, and look people in the eye...and afterwards..yup, you guessed it...I was all
smiles! Thanks again for all of the tools that you have given me. If it were not for seeing you and going
through the process, I don't think I could have gotten through this....It would have been a serious
hindrance to my career, and I am more than elated that I was able to accomplish this...and yes, *gasp*
actually enjoyed it. Dawn E. Hospital Adminstrator
WEIGHT & EMPOWERMENT: I started receiving hypnotherapy sessions from Melissa in April, 2008. I was
interested in hypnotherapy for many facets of my life that seemed beyond my control: my weight, my
tendencies towards self-sabotage, and my relationships with family members. At first, I was unfamiliar with
the concepts and tenets of hypnosis, but Melissa directed me towards some literature which explained the
process and why it worked differently than other self-help techniques. The theory behind it made sense to
me, so I was ready to dive in. At the same time, I was beginning my weekly sessions and recognizing how
my subconscious had a real strangle-hold on me and how the changes that I wanted to make required a
real shift in my subconscious. These sessions with Melissa have empowered me to change things about
myself that are no longer useful. Since I began, I have noticed that my relationships have better
boundaries. My sense of self-confidence isn't shaken by meaningless events. I have also re-committed to
fitness which fuels everything in its own way. I am losing weight without the struggle that I erroneously
believed was part of the process. At this point, I enjoy my sessions because it is just strengthening the
resolve I have. Melissa has a gift in re-acquainting you with your own voice of reason. V.B. Acupuncturist
WEIGHT/EXERCISE: On the plus side I have lost about 20 pounds since we started. I've had to bring the
belt on my uniform at work in a couple of notches! I've definitely made some big changes in the way I'm
eating, not only what, but how. I also upgraded my gym membership so I can go and work out with J. I
know having a workout partner will be helpful, especially one with whom I could have some romantic
interest. ;-) Talk about motivation! C.H. Firefighter
SMOKING: I wanted to drop you a quick line and let you know I am almost seven months a non-smoker!
The urges are almost completely gone. I made it through 3 Las Vegas trips and I even bartended at a
Cigar Bar and still no smoking... not even a drag. It's like I never smoked at all. My family and friends are
so proud of me. It feels good to have them praise me rather than nag me for once. Thank you so much!

FAMILY: I just wanted to let you know that my visit with my parents last week went very well & I have you to
thank! I felt like I established and maintained my boundaries well, while also not taking anything personally
or too seriously. It really was a nice, pleasant, mellow trip...Thanks again! B.C. Student
PAST LIFE REGRESSION: Steve loved his Past life Regression Session with you. He just wouldn't stop
talking about it! C.M.
LIFE COACHING: Wow! I was so hesitant to try hypnosis as a means to help me break some old habits
regarding relationships and to develop new, healthy patterns instead. Melissa's approach and warm
demeanor and her intuitive sense really blew me away. As soon as I entered her office I knew I was in
good hands. She asked insightful questions and really made me feel at ease. Trust does not always come
easily for me and I found myself really trusting her instincts. I have been to 5 sessions so far and the
improvement in my life astounds me. I highly recommend Melissa's services to anyone seeking a new way
to approach their issues and who are really looking to see changes reflected in their own lives sooner
rather than later. Nanci B. Trainer
AUDITION PREP (and smoking): I met Melissa at a hypno therapy "class" she holds at her office in
Atwater Village - truth be told I was dragged there by my girlfriend who is watching me write this now. The
class was interesting and put to bed a lot of misconceptions I had about the whole hypnotherapy process.
My girlfriend bought me a session to help with my smoking, and I kept coming back for my other addiction -
acting. I've been a working actor for years, and had found myself in hit and miss situation at auditions
because of the frame of mind Hollywood puts actors in - Melissa's sessions designed for actors went a long
way toward helping me move past my hang ups and into three booked jobs in the past two months...if only
my agent were so helpful. Check her out! Paul T. Actor
