"Hello Penny

I want to thank you for helping me turn my life around. Anxiety and panic attacks were stopping me from leading a normal life and now they have gone! I can do all the things I used to have to avoid and my husband has his wife back again. I am so glad I found you!

Angela

"Dear Penny

Thank you for all your help with everything. I can easily say my life is a lot clearer and more focused than it ever has been before. I am so glad there are people in the world like you for you give hope."

Samuel

(gambler with low self-confidence & anger issues)

"Dear Penny

I just wanted you to know that I now have much higher self-esteem and confidence and will-power for sticking to a better and healthier eating plan. I have lost approximately 1 stone so far since I started hypnotherapy. Thank you so much!"

Terri (weight and confidence problem)

"HI Penny

Well, since I last saw you I have slowly & steadily dropped 2 ½ stone so am now a size 12/14. Would like to lose a little more and am still doing so! I still go to circuits twice a week and have also taken uprunning and am entering for my first Great West Run next year! Hypnotherapy flicked a light switch on in my mind . I thank you Penny and hope the success stories like mine keep coming. I have recommend you to others."

Lesley (weight loss)

"Dear Penny

Following my two hypnotherapy sessions with you I find my sleep problem has significantly improved. I am extremely grateful for the very effective help you have given me. Thank you so much."

Tony (insomnia sufferer)

"Penny

It will be four weeks this coming Monday that I saw you and very glad to say that I still haven’t had a cigarette! Thank you, your treatment has done the trick!

Carol (smoker)

"Hi Penny

It is now six months since I saw you and I have remained a non-smoker - it has just been so incredibly easy. Many thanks for your help"!

Robert (smoker)

"Dear Penny

I feel normal again which is something I have not felt in a long time! I am eating and sleeping normally and am very much more cheerful. Thank you so much for your help."

Amy (depression sufferer)

"Dear Penny

I feel as if I’ve stepped off a treadmill! I no longer start thinking of the glass of wine half-way through the working day. At the beginning of the hypnotherapy, I admit I was sceptical that it would work! I have been a heavy drinker for the past 20 years but I have totally surprised myself that with friends and family during weekday evenings I actually do not want to drink wine or any alcohol. I have found that the one glass of wine I have on Friday, Saturday & Sunday evenings is not often palatable too. I am happy to say that often I actually prefer a soft drink. I have recommended you to others!

Casey (alcohol abuse)

"Hello Penny

I had to let you know how great I am feeling. I feel as if I have as much right to be here as everyone else and am comfortable with who I am as a person. I don’t feel so self-conscious when in a group of people. I feel lighter and happier than I have been for a long time! I will be recommending you to others. Words cannot thank you enough Penny!!”

Mandy (alcohol abuse, depression & social anxiety)

"Hi Penny

Just to let you know that the workshop went REALLY well today. Thank you so much for your fantastic help, I couldn’t have done it without you. Amazing! I’ve now combated my worst phobia and should get a lot more work out of it too. Thank you , thank you, thank you ...."

David (phobia of public speaking)

"Dear Penny

This is to thank you for your very real help in aiding me to beat my problems. I am most grateful, and thank you for offering me an ‘open door’ in the future. With all good wishes and love ...."

Valerie (social phobia)

"Hello Penny

I just wanted to let you know that I am now so much more confident in situations that previously I found were just so difficult. Thank you for all your help."

Jonathon (social phobia)

"Dear Penny

Thank you so much for helping me – I cannot tell you what a difference it has made to my life. I now understand why I had emetophobia and even though this was difficult, the fact that I am now symptom-free is just so AMAZING!! Thank you again and I will be recommending you to everyone who I come across who needs help in any way."

James (emetophobia)

HI Penny,

Just to update you. As you know Ben’s first GCSE was terrible. He has difficulty focusing his mind at the best of times, and was so distracted by background noise and invigilators wandering up and down that he scored about 30-40% less than he had done on practice papers.

After a couple of sessions with you, he went off to the next exam and found that he was oblivious to all distraction and just focused on the paper. The exam went as well as the practice papers had, which was what we were hoping for. What a relief.

With all the rest of his GCSEs still to go, it’s a huge worry off our minds that he will be able to concentrate fully on the rest of them. Many, many thanks.

"Hello Penny

I thought I would let you know the outcome of my birth. Compared to the birth of my daughter which was so traumatic, I gave birth to my son so easily and quickly. People around me could not believe how calm and relaxed I was and how I gave birth quietly without any pain relief. I was told it would be easy but I did not quite believe it would be so fantastic! Thank you so much for a wonderful CD programme and your e-mail support – SUPERB!!"

K, Bournemouth (Hypnobirthing CD Programme)

"Hi Penny

I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful CD programme. My partner and I bought it when I was 32 weeks pregnant. I was worried we had left it too late, but right from listening to the first CD we were able to start self-hypnosis and relaxation breathing. We moved on quickly through the programme, practising every day.

I cannot believe how everything you said on CD3 and how I envisioned my baby's birth came to be! The moment my water's broke I went into a state of deep relaxation and by the time my contractions were getting stronger, I numbed my body just like we practised and felt virtually no pain, only the tightening of my womb. It was incredible.

I breathed with them as taught and it was so easy. I knew just when the time was right to leave for hospital again as we practised and was ready to give birth just half an hour after arriving. Our daughter was born so gently there was no tearing and it was just incredible. I was up and walking around again so quickly looking for all the world as if I had just woken from a refreshing sleep!

Thank you so much – I have recommended your programme to everyone I meet!

"Hi Penny

When I first met you, I was dreading the whole birth process. I had heard such horror stories from friends and family. As you know, initially I buried my head in the sand but by the time I was 28 weeks I was really anxious. After our first session - what a difference! I realised I was control; I could do this and trust my body. ‘N’ was so relieved!

When I went into labour we were so calm! Our daughter was born just six hours later (much to the surprise of the midwives) and it was such an incredible moment! I felt in control the whole time and breathed my way through the first stage. Then, just a few gentle birth breaths and she was there and so beautiful .....

Thank you so much for all your help and guidance – I just know the outcome would have been very different if I had not contacted you!
