I suffered from migraines for 14 years which continually worsened over time to the point of having a 2 year headache. Not once could I remember in 2 years *not* having constant head pain. Doctors found nothing “medically wrong” (other than the fact that I was a migraine sufferer) after multiple CAT scans an other tests. They just kept telling me to try new meds, which did not work and had horrid side effects. I even went to the Migraine Clinique in Montreal, and they suggested I try anti-depressants. I wasn’t depressed until they told me that! LOL.

So, I started digging into alternative therapies. I tried eliminating wheat & dairy for 3 months, I tried acupuncture, chiropracti, cranio-sacral therapy, massage therapy and even had a very unpleasant liver flush in an attempt to escape the debilitating pain.

I was reluctant to try hypnotherapy because I was worried about not being in control. I had visions of someone dangling a watch in front of me and then dancing like a chicken in public! That’s not at all how it works and once Robyn explained to me that I would be aware of what’s happening the entire time and could decide to get up and walk away whenever I wanted, I decided to give it a try. She was right. When I’m under hypnosis, I am never unconscious or unaware. I really can get up and walk away and have full understanding that I’m lying in a chair receiving hypnotherapy treatment. The stigma and myths surrounding hypnosis are very unfortunate because I believe that more people could be helped if they were just willing to look past the “hippy-dippy hype”.

My results have been outstanding. I have been virtually pain free for a year now and I feel like myself again. On the rare occasion that I do have a headache, it’s nowhere near the level of pain that I had experienced in the last 14 years, and 90% of the time I can tell you why I’m having it (I skipped a meal, ate too much sugar, etc).

I feel like I have my life back. I can run with my kids again!! I have energy and enthusiasm and a zest for life that my husband, friends and family say they hadn’t seen in a very long time.

Robyn is excellent at what she does. She’s knowledgeable and respectful and very caring. She understands that it can be a big step to try something new, and was very kind when I expressed my concerns. She’s also great at explaining how the brain works and why hypnotherapy is so effective. She truly wants to help people, and it shows in her work. I highly recommend her services (which I have used in person and via Skype). She has changed my life for the better, and my family and I will always be grateful.
