“"I have completed two sessions of hypnotherapy for GI concerns. Elaine put me at ease immediately and spent a lot of time gathering information about my current issues and past history including physical, relational, and emotional. Many of her comments were insightful and inspired trust. The hypnotherapy experience was easy for me and very relaxing as I listened to Elaine's calming voice. She was able to include everything that I had shared with her previously. At the end of my session she gave me some behavioral tools that I could use at home to enhance my experience and calm difficult feelings. I have tried them and have found them surprisingly easy to do and very effective. As of now, I do not know whether the hypnosis treatment will rid me of all my physical discomforts but, overall, it has been a positive experience."*

“"I have known Calypso for years, and I recently decided to try hypnosis for the first time with her. Due to Calypso’s calm nature, I was able to be extremely comfortable and open to receiving the benefits of hypnosis. She made me realize things about myself, in a very welcoming and non-judgemental way, allowing me to be comfortable the whole session. I believe hypnosis is a very personal experience, so in my opinion, it is very necessary to take part in this with someone as compassionate and trustworthy as Calypso. I would 100% recommend doing hypnosis with Calypso, whether you never have before or you are a returning client."*

“"Calypso's, energy and approach to her hypnosis practice made me feel safe and comfortable right from the start. She's a great listener and can quickly deduce what challenges to work on first.
My first session had me feeling balanced, clear-headed, light and extremely motivated to tackle the items we decided to work on. To this day I still find myself hearing her voice in my head, reminding me of what I want and need to work on. I look forward to future sessions with Calypso as she is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable in her craft, and exceptional at guiding you on a safe and healing hypnosis journey. "*

I just wanted to let you know that the ultimate test happened this week. I was on five planes this week and had no issues with claustrophobia whatsoever! Your mantra came to me as I was boarding each time and not even a hint of panic set in. Thank you so much for helping me!"*

“"I was very pleased with the hypnosis sessions that I received from Calypso. I didn't know what to expect and I thought it was just going to be something new to try and I probably wouldn't get very much from it. I was very wrong. I had previously done about a year of therapy, covering the same subjects that I had brought up in hypnosis, and if I could go back, I would have skipped therapy and gone right to hypnosis with Calypso.
She has such a talent for this line of work and I highly recommend her to just about everyone I meet. I truly believe she will change many people's lives."*

“"I have tried every weight loss technique under the sun, from Weight Watchers, dietitians, nutritionists, gluten/dairy free and none of it worked for me. I have felt so great after these sessions with Alicia and combined with starting a Keto Diet I have lost 15lbs since January 1. I plan on continuing through the available mp3."

“"This was my first time trying hypnosis. I saw how essential the hypnotic techniques are for allowing myself to get relaxed and push past my own firewalls to face facts and understand my blind spots better. In my limited experience, talk therapy takes so much longer to chip away at the defensiveness that keeps us blinded from some memories and self-reflections. Calypso is a thoughtful and kind person, and I have a lot of respect for her talents as a healer!
