Client Testimonials

It was very hard for me to pick and choose from numerous client testimonials; they all have enormous meaning to me. Each client I see is very special to me and they are worthy to succeed. The testimonials below were given freely to me by very appreciative clients; happy with our team-work and delighted with their outcomes. I say to them (and to my other clients):

"CONGRATULATIONS for taking back control of your life, for reshaping your beliefs in how you think, act, and feel. You got in touch with your core beliefs, changed them beneficially and you achieved success. You believed in yourself and in the power of your subconscious mind. You successfully mastered breaking through your barriers. You now reap the success you deserve; you are worthy of your happiness and success. Your victory is your birthright!" Well done, Polly Humphreys

Hypnotherapy has long been a successful method for changing habits and behavior. I enlisted Polly's help for the mental side of my golf game, two weeks later I won the North Carolina Senior Amateur. I would recommend her for help with changing any behavior modification. Bob Kulp, DDS

To Whom It May Concern:

Polly Humphreys has been working with my 9 year old daughter. We went to her because my daughter had constant, loud music playing in her head. She also had been dieting even though she only weighs 56 pounds. After one session, the music has been turned down so that it does not bother her anymore. Also her headaches have lessened in intensity. In three weeks after the first visit, my daughter has gained three pounds and is no longer dieting. These resolutions are amazing to me. Polly is great with children. Her ready smile & easy manner made my daughter very trusting and relaxed with her. She is very much looking forward to her next session. - Signed, Mother of a 9 year old.

I've had a life-long battle with weight control. And like so many others, I have tried various methods and ‘diets'. I enjoyed initial success - I always relapsed and gained the weight back in a relatively short time. I had even tried hypnosis once or twice before, but it was always a one-time event with no follow-up. Then I discovered Polly at Alternative Wellness & Beyond; Polly didn't just hypnotize me, she helped me discover deep-seated issues that were roadblocks to my weight loss success. This didn't just happen in one weight loss session. We met several times and each time she helped me go deep into my sub-conscious mind and unleash the unhealthy issues that were preventing me from being a healthy, happy person. After a series of frequent sessions, we decided that I would maintain contact every few months for "booster" visits which I feel are important for sustained success. On my most recent visit, Polly took me deeper/higher than I've ever been. I can't tell you the overwhelming sense of freedom I am feeling…… freedom from cravings and unhealthy relationships. As Polly says, "I have the right to be happy and I am pursuing that happiness with a joyful heart!" M.

Our life is dominated by the roles we are expected to fulfill...Parent, Husband, Provider, Company Owner, Student, Child, and Sales Person. We know these roles, at least we know the expectations of these roles that our culture demands from each of us. When we fail to live up to those expectations, for instance, we don't make enough money for the family or we don't get good enough grades, it takes an incredible emotional and physical toil on the individual. We blame our selves for our shortcomings! My Sessions with Polly made a significant change in my life almost immediately.

The most apparent change was releasing all the guilt that was crushing me…it was impacting all aspects of my life and I wasn't even aware of it. From that instant, every thing was different - the sky was bluer, trees were greener, food was tastier, my children were nicer and my wife was prettier. When your guilt is removed, you see and enjoy the gifts you have been given in your life. And most importantly, you better understand your purpose for being here. Signed, Jeffrey R.

"It's ok to be afraid to face yourself. And even though you may be afraid at first, you find out that there really isn't anything to fear. Everything you ever wanted to find out abut yourself, you already know. You just need to know where to look. Believing in one simple idea can and will radically change your life for the good. Relationship healing really is possible once you take the journey to the root of the problem. You really can change if you want to. Even though God wants us to believe Him for miracle healing, it doesn't mean that He can't send someone else along to help. Your suitcase gets much lighter once your past is gone. Once you come face to face with the real you, excuses now belong in two places; out the window and in the trash can." Lucie Carley - from Massachusetts

I saw Polly prior to going for some medical testing that involved painful injections. As a result of the hypnosis and using the suggestions received from the session, when I went for the test I experienced little to no discomfort when receiving ‘the shots'. The radiologist was amazed at the lack of reaction to the injections. The hypnosis was very beneficial in dealing with what would have otherwise been an unpleasant experience. Signed, Charles

"I was surprised I wasn't nervous before and during the match; it was like I had done it before. I wasn't tired, my endurance was strong. I had no doubt! I knew I was stronger than my opponent – I was mentally tough and prepared. I had the correct mental attitude, and loosing wasn't an option." KK

Dear Polly,

Thank you for helping me in the process of dealing with Fibromyalgia. As you are aware, since my diagnosis in 1990, I have tried many treatment modalities. Although I found relief from a combination of diet, exercise and anti-depressant therapy as well as acupuncture and chiropractic therapy, it was the hypnosis that liberated me. Since our working together, I have noticed an increase in my vitality, my energy level and my clarity of thought. I now seem immune to conflict which once derailed me. My coping skills are such that I am able to handle my stress with a sense of confidence and ease. The numerous symptoms of fibromyalgia have subsided which I believe to be a true miracle. Certainly, my life has taken on new dimension. Thank you again for being flexible to work with my schedule. I will share this with others in hope of leading them to healing as well. - God bless you always, Gayle from -West Virginia

Dear Polly,

I am now a "happy healthy smoke free person, for life." It feels so very good to say that. I had honestly tried (there's that evil word!) 1,000 times or more to stop the habit. I just couldn't find success. Each Monday morning I threw my cigarettes in the trash and declared never again! Then by Friday afternoon, I rationalized it…."haven't had one all week, what the heck, I'm so healthy it's not going to kill me." I then turned my car right into the parking lot of my neighborhood market and the cashier handed me my favorite brand without even asking what kind I smoked. She knew my routine and me.

Polly, your smoking cessation program and hypnosis worked to free me of this huge tiresome ridiculous habit. I used your many techniques (tools) at critical times to get beyond that moment of nagging addiction. I found the ones that worked best for me and I use them now to gain control of stress or rid myself of negative thinking and other "habits" I wish to conquer. I smoked for almost 34 years. I hid it from most of my family, my colleagues, along with some of my friends. People know me as a daily exerciser and health conscious person. You just can't imagine how good it makes me feel to be finished with this hidden deception. I owe you big Polly! You helped me tackle and defeat a habit that could have cost me my life. - With tremendous thanks! Martha

I have been extremely pleased with the results of my individual hypnosis for smoking cessation. I was a heavy smoker for 15 years and I ‘tried' to quit smoking several times to no avail; I even ‘tried" group hypnosis sessions. Nothing worked. I found out about Polly on the internet and decided to do this approach. Needless to say, I have been smoke free for months! I feel so much healthier and happier and have absolutely no intention or desire to be a smoker again. I would highly recommend this approach if you have the least inclination to quit smoking……………it works! Polly is talented and truly dedicated to your success. Jean – from Virginia

Dear Polly,

I just wanted to thank you for showing me the wonderful world of hypnosis; it has been a God-send. I never realized what wonderful lasting change hypnosis could make. The hypnosis I have systematically been receiving with you in the last couple of months has brought about results I did not know could exist. As I have gone through different sessions, it feels like the real me is digging out & being freed. It feels like I have been buried under all this stuff that has been piling on (along with weight) for years, since my childhood even. I am making promises to myself & keeping them! I see myself as I will become. I really do! By teaming up with my subconscious mind, I am able to create new beliefs that apply to me NOW. I no longer need to feed my emotional self & my physical self is satisfied with eating what is healthy. Even in the midst of several "challenging" situations, I have been able to eat moderately & readily return to weight modifying behavior. I have more energy coupled with a more positive outlook for a future which I can now visualize so differently. I unreservedly recommend hypnosis for everyone who is serious about changing their life. And I especially recommend you Polly. You are the greatest! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Sincerely, Karla

To Whom It May Concern:

It was a pleasure to write a few words on behalf of Polly Humphreys. I came to her for dizziness, nausea, high blood pressure and bouts of depression. I had never been to a hypnotist so I was apprehensive of this visit. Polly put me at ease by first offering me a cup of tea! This offer I accepted and I knew then that she was my kind of lady. My sessions with her brought out some issues which I did not realize on a conscious level. My blood pressure dropped and my outlook on life became positive. Polly surely has a gift to get to the core of the problem beneath the surface. I certainly endorse her services and contribution to Alternative Medicine. - Sincerely, Peggy

Polly, finding you was a Godsend. My sessions with you were both relaxing and energizing. As a result, I am no longer ruled by my panic attacks. I am back on track and I have a renewed sense of purpose and direction. I thank you from the bottom of my heart - I don't know that I could have done it without you. Peace and Love, S.
