Exceeded my wildest hopes

Sandy - Wow! After just a few sessions, the dark thoughts that had been recurring for months have abated. You gave me the tools I needed to create a new, positive outlook. This rewiring of my brain feels like a new lease on life! Thank you so much for your one-on-one guidance, wisdom, and support. I’ll see you on the app, podcast, and in the classes, where you generously provide amazing content for myriad issues and needs. With deep gratitude, BKG.

Before my first experience with Sandy…

Before my first experience with Sandy Ames, I was in therapy for thirteen years with spotty results and ineffective medication. My mind and body were out of wack; I was overweight and severely depressed; my anxiety kept me indoors and unable to sleep at night. I also experienced physical pain, and my addictions were out of control. For years, something kept nagging me (in the back of my head) that "I" was the actual cause of all the mishaps in my life, and I decided to try hypnotherapy.
With no expectations and nothing to lose, I attended my first secession. I loved Sandy immediately. She is welcoming, kind, funny, and professional. Additionally, she shares candid and impactful stories, a strategic component of hypnotherapy. But the most astonishing element of the whole process is how immediate and natural the results feel. Areas of my life that I struggled with for years were no longer a part of my daily life. Then the next thing I knew, they were out of my life completely.
Miraculously I stand here today, having gained control and focus over various areas of my life. It is wild; I am happier now, my addictions have subsided, I lost weight, and so much more. Although I was apprehensive, Sandy introduced the importance of meditation. Now, I practice it daily through hypnotherapy mediations (MP3s) on the Sandy Ames website (SANDY AMES HYPNOTHERAPY CLINIC); they are incredibly worthwhile to check out.

Thank you Sandy

I cannot give enough praise to Sandy…

I cannot give enough praise to Sandy Ames.

I am in Europe and I had an online hypnotherapy session with Sandy who was in NY.
Sandy made absoulutely sure that I was under hypnosis. I have so many, many positive side benefits from that one session, even though it has been months!

I don't know where to start. My previously asymetrical smile ( since childhood and now I am 58) is now symetrical. It never bothered me much to have an asymmetrical smile, and that is not what I came for but my point is, the WHOLE ME is so much more balanced and aligned that it shows on my outside. Also, and this is very important, even though I could only afford one session, it gave me so, so much AND ALL recorded hypnosis, wether from Sandy Ames or from other hypnotists work so, so much better now.

Thank you Sandy, and thank you for being so aligned and authentic.

10000000/100000000

If I can give Sandy 100000 more stars I would. 5 stars doesn’t do justice what an amazing soul Sandy is. She has completely changed my life. I went to Sandy for multiple things and by the time we finished our sessions, I couldn’t believe how far I’ve come and I was secretly sad to be parting ways for now. Who would have thought I’d be able to take control of my panic attacks and who would have thought I would enjoy my flights?! Sandy’s energy and personality just radiates. Truly felt so heard, safe and comfortable with her. I thank G-d for putting Sandy in my path and feel so lucky to have met someone so wonderful. There’s not a someone in my life who doesn’t know about Sandy and my love for her. 1000000/10000000 recommend! Truly life changing!!

Hypnotherapy w/ Sandy Ames works!

I signed up for hypnotherapy with Sandy a few weeks ago as a New Year gift to myself to work on my confidence. After just a few sessions, a shift happened in my brain - my inner self talk improved. The feelings of fear or not knowing / nerves are less intense. Sure I still get worried or slightly overthink at times but deep down now I know I'm going to be ok and everything will be ok. I am more aware of the emotions I attach to things or tasks that I never knew I did before. I'm getting more comfortable with not knowing all the answers. The wheels are still turning in my head and I continue to have mini breakthroughs here and there which I love. Thank you Sandy and I'll be back.

Love this! Love the work we did (and as you said, it continues to unfold for you). So perfectly stated. It’s not easy to measure results when it comes to inner self talk and performance. But you have that measuring stick of just knowing something clicked. Amazing. This is YOUR intuition and YOUR intelligence opening. What a pleasure to work together 🙏💫

If I could give 10 stars I would!!
I signed up for hypnotherapy sessions with Sandy after struggling to achieve a healthy weight. I didn’t feel like myself anymore and felt frustrated and out of control. I had no idea what to expect, or how hypnotherapy worked. What a wonderful experience..and it seemed so easy!
I cannot express how very grateful I am to Sandy for helping me find myself again. I never thought I’d get back to my “old self”.
I am truly blessed to have found her! ❤️

Simply Remarkable

My sessions with Sandy have been nothing short of transformative and a thank you feels necessary yet insufficient to express my gratitude for all the counsel she has provided.
Sandy thank you for your compassion, your insight, your generosity of spirit and for making all the difference.

Amazing!

I do not have the words to explain how much Sandy has changed my life in just four sessions. She is simply amazing. Thoughtful, inciteful, kind. I loved my sessions and I will be back as and when needed. I wish I had found Sandy many years ago!

Life changing

I went to Sandy for help with a specific issue, and walked away with so much more.

Over the course of four weeks, Sandy not only helped me to achieve my initial goals, but also worked with me to develop a broader framework for dealing with stress, engaging in my relationships and, most importantly, understanding and taking care of myself.

In doing so, she has transformed my ability to manage my traps of anxiety and perfectionism. I feel more empowered, in control and "myself" than I can remember. I now realise just how much anxiety and burnout was impacting on every aspect of my life.

Thanks to my work with Sandy I am so much better able to understand, appreciate, and enjoy my friends, family and myself. Without a doubt, seeing Sandy was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Sandy helped my anxiety SO MUCH

Sandy helped my anxiety SO MUCH! Before coming to Sandy I had explored traditional therapy and been coping with CBD oil to ease my nerves around school and self esteem. As any millennial, I wanted what seemed like an immediate change to take place in my life and Sandy helped me achieve just that (well pretty close)! It takes a conscious effort to keep up with being mindful and consistent, but in the days following my session I felt a positive shift in my confidence and attitude about school and my abilities. Sandy taught me how to recognize my anxious response and treat it as just that, a response that even though it may come naturally for me, it is only as powerful as I allow it to be. Sandy immediately put me at ease and helped me understand the basis of this method. I know hypnotherapy sounds wild, but trust me, it was worth it!!! Thank you Sandy!

Thank you Sandy!

My sessions with Sandy were the most effective therapy of my life. She had an astonishing ability to quickly and accurately identify the issues at the core of my problem. Every week I was given new tools that helped me change my behaviors. The hypnosis was a relaxing and fulfilling experience that reinforced the most important insights uncovered each week. Sandy is so caring and so kind, but most importantly, seriously committed to helping create positive change. Thank you Sandy!

DID NOT GO AS EXPECTED!

DID NOT GO AS EXPECTED!

When I consulted Sandy for hypnotherapy in the hopes of quitting smoking, I expected results. Result(s) being defined as “ a consequence, effect, or outcome of something”. What I got were definitely results in the form of quitting smoking - or as Sandy puts it, “(becoming) a permanent ex-smoker”, AND about 800-900% more! Like many, I was a LITTLE skeptical about the effectiveness of hypnosis on my stubborn, control freak, neuroses ridden infrastructure of a personality, but all my doubts had vanished within the first 20 minutes of our first session. Sandy treats you (clinically and personally) as a whole person; examining the root causes of whatever issues you may have, NOT JUST as client who wants an end result. After 4 sessions, the lessons I learned, the bond I formed with this therapist, and the seeds that were planted have not only led to the cessation of my cigarette use, but have rooted themselves so deeply that I am subconsciously implementing them in all facets of my life, including the betterment of my career, weight loss and healthy eating, and an overall feeling of heightened wellbeing and happiness. I think Sandy’s rates are extremely fair (a bargain really) and if I had the time I would continue doing weekly sessions SIMPLY because she improves the quality of my life. It was nothing less than a trip in the literal and existential meaning of the word. Thank you, Sandy, from the bottom of my heart!!!! Unlike 2020, Sandy Ames Hypnotherapy is HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Highly recommended hypnotherapist

Highly recommended hypnotherapist! Sandy is my self-help guru full of valuable information. When I first started working with Sandy in 2016, we focused mostly on reducing test anxiety. With the help of Sandy's one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions and audio guided meditation, I no longer feel anxious when sitting for large exams. Her sessions also helped me retain information when studying!

After the success with reducing anxiety, I asked Sandy to help me in other areas of life. From there Sandy completely transformed my personality; i have quit smoking, hypnotherapy for weight loss along with vegan cleanse, passed 3 career focused exams, and completed two sessions of hypnotherapy with my loving partner.

Sandy, thank you so much for the incredible work you've done with me. I seriously can't thank you enough and owe you for a whole new life!!!! This review is the LEAST I can do.

Truly an amazing professional.

Truly an amazing professional.

Sandy was able to help me with my weight loss. So far, I am down over 80 pounds, and it truly felt effortless.

The second you meet her you will understand just what great hands you are in.

Sandy took the time to get to know me. She was very insightful into what would work for me and what would not. I suspect everyone is different and she tailored a program just for me.

Her voice is soothing and when coupled with her intuition, was exactly what I needed.

I admit to thinking hypnosis was a bit hocus pocus, but after meeting with Sandy and having a few session, I am a true believer. Sandy tok the time to explain why it works and why the subconscious part of my brain would react the way it did.

I have taken to calling her Doctor Sandy, because she really is at that level of her profession.

No matter what your issue, you will be in the best hands with Sandy.
