"Gradually we were able to open the door for peace of mind once again."

I  returned to Hilary to address a series of physical and emotional  set backs that had caused my anxiety to reappear with a vengeance.   Having worked with her  before, I was confident she could help me - and she did.    It had been several years since I first worked with Hilary and in that time she completed additional training and incorporated new techniques so the process was both familiar and new.  Her sessions are always wonderfully relaxing, but very productive.  Gradually we were able to open the door for peace of mind once again.   We also did some fantastic work on ‘Soul Consciousness’, which has allowed me to view life and relationships from a whole new perspective.I would encourage you to reach out to her if you are struggling.    I am very glad I did.  She is very good at what she does.

"I was so blown away by the effectiveness"

Hilary from State of Mind Hypnosis and Training Centre is absolutely amazing. Over the past few months her work has literally changed my life.
I originally decided to make an appointment to try hypnosis to help with anxiety I was experiencing. I can say now that thanks to Hilary I am no longer dealing with this issue any longer. I was so blown away by the effectiveness of Hilary's sessions that I continue to see her to work on other issues in other areas of my life. Hilary is also an extremely warm and caring person that puts you at ease the moment you walk into her office. I look forward to each session with her : )

"Nothing like the TV or Stage Show versions. I was alert the whole time."

 I am a female in my late 60s. I contacted State of Mind for help with a sleep disorder and general anxiety. Both problems I have struggled with for many years, and for which I take medication.

Over a program of 6 sessions, Hilary gently helped me to discover the root causes for these issues, but also uncover others that were blocking progress. It was a tremendous relief to finally face and release them. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted.

​The Hypnosis sessions were relaxing and very productive. Nothing like the TV or Stage Show versions. I was alert the whole time, allowing Hilary to guide me through specific imagery, and communicating with her throughout. After I was alert, relaxed, and remembered all that had transpired.

​Overall, I can’t say enough about the benefits of the program. I now have the tools to address anything that comes, and the confidence to make it happen. No longer requiring sleep aides, I am getting a sound sleep each night and waking alert and rested.

​"There has definitely been a shift in both my physical and emotional well being"

​I recently participated in two Reiki/Hypnosis sessions with Hilary.   Six months ago I had completed an Hypnosis program with her that successfully addressed  both long term phobias and a General Anxiety Disorder.   My purpose for exploring the Reiki/Hypnosis was two fold.  Having recently discontinued all anxiety medication I wanted to help my body with the physical transition, and I was looking for relief from joint/muscle issues and insomnia, which were becoming more prevalent with age.  

The combination of complete relaxation, guided imagery and energy transference took things to another level.  In a lying position, my body felt weightless while my mind was totally engaged.  Images that I discovered in previous sessions returned to me in more detail.  Conservations with loved ones passed helped to bring buried emotions to the surface   And,  I could physically sense the mind/body connection. 

There has definitely been a shift in both my physical and emotional well being, and I continue to benefit from the work done in those sessions.  If your mind is open to the possibly of this effective method of healing, I would encourage you to check it out.

"After just a few sessions, I noticed a huge shift in how I handled my emotions."

Before trying hypnosis, I struggled with anger that would flare up in stressful situations, and it was affecting my relationships and overall well-being. I decided to give hypnosis a try, and I’m so glad I did. After just a few sessions, I noticed a huge shift in how I handled my emotions. Instead of reacting immediately, I started feeling more in control and calm, even in situations that used to trigger me. It’s like the hypnosis helped me tap into a more grounded, peaceful part of myself. I’ve gained tools that I use every day to keep myself balanced, and I no longer feel overwhelmed by anger. I can’t recommend it enough—it’s truly life-changing!

"With her help I have already lost more than 15 lbs in only a few weeks."

​All I can say is that Hilary is a miracle worker. She helped me immensely in getting aspects of my life in control that had otherwise been in chaos. The way that Hilary approaches changes in your life through hypnosis is remarkable, and she does so without judgement. Through positive association I was able to greatly improve my diet, motivation, impulse control, exercise, and overall lifestyle. With her help I have already lost more than 15 lbs in only a few weeks. I cannot recommend Hilary enough. If you are seeking changes in your life but don't necessarily know how to go about doing so, Hilary can help you to discover underlying issues that may be perpetuating bad habits. Her guidance helped me to address issues that I had never even considered as triggers to overeating, and as a result I am happier, healthier, and much better off. If you are seeking a hypnotherapist to get you started on your lifestyle change journey, look no further than Hilary. I cannot say enough good things about her and her practise.

"I have began working out again"

Hilary is fantastic! She is a fabulous listener, she has helped me overcome a huge life upset that seemed like a mountain I could not climb until I began working with her. She has helped me change my mindset to be more positive and open to change. I have noticed an increase in myself confidence and she has help me turn off my inner critic! I have began working out again, something I would have talked myself out of before I started seeing Hilary. I truly can’t wait until my next session!

"My  reaction is what I wanted to accomplish so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart."

​Hi Hilary, I did my audio last night from the 3 session phobia program. Now I think it was testing me lol, I washed the floor in the employee lunch room and went to open the side door to put a chair there to help dry the floor faster, and low and behold I looked down and there was a baby snake about 6 inches from my foot. I had the natural shock, had a little yell and calmly walked away. I am telling myself over and over I am a person who is not afraid of snakes. My  reaction is what I wanted to accomplish so I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you,

"The experience has helped me to shift my thought processes, look at and analyze things differently and not through the lens of the past. This is truly a gift!" 

​I would highly recommend Hilary and State of Mind Hypnosis.  Hilary has helped me to change my life and reframe the negative thought processes that have plagued me.  I went to Hilary initially because I felt stuck and depressed. At 56 years old, I felt I was dealing with the same old stuff that I had been dealing with my whole life- self doubt, lack of confidence and direction; a general mental and physical fatigue and unwellness. I had a strong desire to fix the things that were holding me back.

Through hypnosis, Hilary helped me understand the events in my past that had, up to that point, shaped me and my thoughts. We looked at these past events, some traumatic, and reframed them with the benefit of hindsight and an adult perspective.  Through this process, I was able to let go of so much pain, anger and sadness!  In place of these emotions, I’ve come to feel compassion and acceptance.

The experience has helped me to shift my thought processes, look at and analyze things differently and not through the lens of the past. This is truly a gift! 

​Hilary was so easy to talk to and instantly made me feel at ease.  This paired with the process that she uses, was as winning combination.  I feel like a different person and am grateful for the positive changes I am feeling and seeing in my life.  Thank you, Hilary!

"I have been able to connect to me again."

​Hilary has provided me with a safe foundation to explore my inner child and my grown up self. She has led me step by step to deeper emotions and uncovered more than I ever thought was possible. I have been able to connect to me again. She has brought light to some dark places and as I travel through on my journey of life, I feel enlightened and much more connected to who I am. She is truly a beautiful teacher who has helped me tremendously.

"My confidence alone has been altered for life"​

I have attended several sessions and have now walked away with a whole new understanding of myself and within the first month have seen so many changes. My confidence alone has been altered for life, dealing with issues I never knew were holding me back.

Julie M 

I felt like I was floating. It was such a powerful experience.
I was able to see myself from both the soul perspective and the human perspective at the same time, and that gave me a level of understanding I’ve never had before.

What stood out most was the feeling of unconditional love. There was no sense of anything being wrong. Just deep care, wisdom, and understanding. It helped me realize how hard we are on ourselves as humans, and how different things look when you’re connected to that deeper place.

The session brought me back to something I knew as a child but had forgotten. That love really is the foundation of everything, including abundance. I feel lighter, clearer, and more open.

It was a very transcending experience, and I feel grateful to have been guided so gently through it.

​Valerie

Thank you so much for your time and your care. You are a beautiful person and I truly appreciate you. I feel heard, supported, and lighter after our time together. It meant a great deal to be met with such patience, understanding, and compassion.

Andrea

​​

Thank you so much for your devotion and your humour. It helped a lot throughout the session and also helped me integrate everything afterward. I feel rested, lighter, and more grounded. You did a fabulous job of knowing what was needed throughout, and I truly appreciated how supported and understood I felt. It was a pleasure working with you.

​Ioana

​

I felt really comfortable and supported during the session. The process helped me relax deeply and feel more connected. I appreciated how clear and steady Hilary was, and how safe the space felt. I also loved the practical tools, like the anchoring, because it gave me something I can use after the session too.

Adrianna

​

That was pretty wild. I didn’t expect that at all. I thought the bullying was something I was over, but it clearly stored in me, and I felt a real shift. I don’t think I could have reached that just by talking it through. It felt powerful, and it gave me clarity on what’s been holding me back. Thank you Hilary.

​Matt

​​

Wow, I went on quite the journey. I didn’t want to leave. It was fascinating, and I had that floating feeling in my head, like the energy was different. I knew I was where I was supposed to be. It was kind of cool. Thank you.

"Highly recommend State of Mind!"

​The experience with Hilary has been excellent, the atmosphere in her office is relaxing and professional. Working together has been extremely helpful providing a lot of insight in areas I didn't even know I needed to work on. Highly recommend State of Mind!

"Shifted my inner perspective for the better."

​My first-ever hypnosis session was with Hilary. It was deeply helpful and provided me with information that shifted my inner perspective for the better. Hilary's voice is incredibly relaxing and her tone gentle and trustworthy. I can honestly say I learned a lot about myself and it helped me make great changes within for moving forwards. Second session topped the first as we went even deeper. If you are interested in doing your inner work and are looking for someone with Integrity as a Guide reach out to Hilary. You can move through it! Thank you Hilary, so much, I look forward to meeting with you again.

"It has been almost 5 months since I stopped smoking (after 30 years)."

​I would totally recommend SOM Hypnosis.  Hilary was extremely empathetic and skilled.  The clinic is comfortable and calming.  I wasn't sure that it would work, to be honest, but it has been almost 5 months since I stopped smoking (after 30 years).  I've been faced with a number of occasions where I would have caved in the past, but honestly I just don't want it.  The relief, freedom and empowerment I feel everyday, contributes to a renewed sense of vitality and health since I stopped smoking.  Not to mention all the money I've saved!  Thanks Hilary!

"Challenging myself to grow as a person and ultimately that has reflected in my business success."

​Hypnosis has been an excellent tool and resource for me as a business owner in connecting with what is really important to me and also challenging myself to grow as a person and ultimately that has reflected in my business success. 

Self knowledge and compassion are empowering and uplifting.

My staff have commented regularly that they feel empowered, supported and uplifted by me.  What a joy to hear!  The result is prosperity and growth for everyone.  There is no downside.
