Professional Hypnosis Services in Central New York

I have been trying to lose weight for 10 years - since menopause. I tried diets, gyms, spas, everything. A couple of pounds would come off and then find their way back to my body. I decided to try hypnotism - not thinking it would work but having no other alternatives. A psychologist friend suggested Linda. From the first session I changed my eating habits and exercise more. Linda is more than a hypnotist. She helped me figure out triggers to eating and solutions so I don't eat. Thanks Linda. I love my new shape.

Hypnosis has helped me change not just my eating habits, but also how I think about myself. It has helped me realize that I am in control of my own life. Going through the sessions has been a great and very helpful experience.

My experience with Linda has been great. The hypnosis really brought me out of a depressive state to be more aware of my choices. And to make better choices for me to progress on my weight loss journey. Our conversations and the sharing of experiences have been very informative.

Linda's hypnosis sessions are an excellent combination of in-depth analysis of the problem, recommended solutions, and powerful hypnotic suggestions. Linda is intuitive, motivating, understanding, patient and informative. Her style of hypnosis is trance-like and she can really make powerful suggestions that help overcome your issue.

I started my first session of hypnosis on Dec 9th and weighed in at 195 lbs. Then my second session on Dec 14th weighed in at 189 lbs. Third session Dec 23rd weighed in at 185 lbs. I am completely amazed and delighted at this process of getting healthy and feeling better and not feeling deprived at all for the first time. I am motivated and looking forward to future sessions. I absolutely love the audio: it starts my day off feeling positive, confident and successful. Then ends my day into a releaxed state of mind and body.

I came here not knowing what to expect. She has listened and guided me along the path to a healthy lifestyle. Hypnosis has allowed me to control my food compulsions and overeating.

I first met Linda Gilmore close to 8 years ago when I was 286 pounds. When I walked into that office and began sessions with Linda I knew right away we had formed a bond and better yet a person I could trust and had confidence in.

Less than a year later and a loss of 96 pounds, I was very excited to say the least. Linda did more than mentor me and assist, she listened, suggested, and taught me how to change many things in my everyday routine.

I stopped attending sessions after a couple years and still had no problem keeping the weight off.

Just recently I was again struggling with a few extra pounds I had gained. I contacted Linda who met with me at my convenience to discuss Balanced Life Hypnosis and how she could help me again.

After my first session with Linda I was once again excited and energized to get my weight under control.

I am now on track and very excited. Linda has provided me more helpful information, and some tools to help me get back and maintain a comfortable weight. Linda with Balanced Life Hypnosis is my coach, mentor, and mostly a friend.

I started the program 8 wks ago. I no longer crave food that are not nutritious and on my plan of meals/snacks to eat. I have already lost 14 lbs. since starting and have lowered my blood pressure by 10 points. The best part is not struggling with cravings for high sugar and high fat foods. Also, the confidence I have that, with the support of staying with the program, I will be able to continue eating healthfully to reach my goal.

I have completed 5 sessions so far and feel great! Not only have my exercising and eating habits improved, but also my attitude and outlook on my life. I find myself realizing that working out and eating healthy foods are not just something I am suppose to be doing in the program to lose weight, but have become part of my daily routine and long life habits. I am slowly but surely losing weight and feeling my clothes get bigger. Although the weight loss is a slow process, it is one that you can feel working and see and keep the results long into the future!

I came wanting to lose weight, learn to like myself, be comfortable in my own skin. In just the first few weeks I saw so many "positive" changes in myself. I quickly began to stop all negative image thoughts and negative thoughts about not being able to lose weight, but the most amazing part is for the first time in my life, I like me!!!

Since my start date just over 3 months, I have lost 41 pounds and changed my life. I now have control over eating and drinking. I just couldn't get on track but with this program it really has made a difference. I now look forward to weighing myself. Eating healthier is living healthier and that is where I am at.

Hypnosis has changed the way I view food. Before, sweets and junk food use to entice me, but now I look at it and wonder what I ever saw in it. I can walk by the bakery and even care to stop and look at the selection. I know that occupying my mind with things other than food is a good thing. I still feel hungry from time to time, but I reach for healthier foods to satisfy my cravings. We keep more fruits and vegetables in the house then we have in the past. I would recommend hypnosis to anyone.

We would like to thank you for all your help and support through our weight loss. Your unerring advice, upbeat attitude, and laser-sharp insight tell us you will be a success.

Thanks to Linda and her hypnosis I've been able to not only quit smoking but learn things about myself that help me to treat myself better. I was skeptical but hopeful at first, but I can now state that it works. This was my second real try at quitting smoking. It was much more comfortable thanks to Linda's hypnosis.

I came here for advice and help to quit smoking. Today is my third visit and have not had one cig or the inclination to smoke. This is a life changing event!

In just under 2 weeks' time I can proudly call myself a non-smoker. I smoked for 30 yrs., quit many times - only to start again and was afraid to try again because I didn't want to fail! Linda made me very comfortable, gave me the tools I needed. I so appreciate the support and encouragement and highly recommend Linda and Balanced Life Hypnosis. I am enjoying the calm and happy feeling, and am confident that I will remain non-smoking.

Linda is Awesome. I was not sure what to expect and she went beyond and above all that I thought would happen. Linda put me at ease right away and asked all the "good" questions, made me really think of the reasons that I was here. She educated me for the future. I would recommend Linda to anyone who has interest in improving their life.

I came here for help in quitting smoking. Not only did I achieve that goal, but I learned from this experience how to remove stress from my life. I highly recommend Linda and Balanced Life Hypnosis!

I came to Linda in the hopes to get the strength to become a non-smoker through hypnosis. I am happy to say that I have been smoke-free for 13 days. I am so excited to be a non-smoker and feel great! The hypnosis helped me to deal with my "smoking" feelings without any drugs or crutch. Through the process I have also noticed that my stress level is low and I am more focused on tasks that I'm engaged in. I run but now I can run and not feel so heavy as far as breathing! I smoked about 1/2 to 1 pack a day for 30 years!! Thank you so much Linda for helping me be in charge!

My experiences with Linda have been extraordinary. I first tried thru the suggestion of my parent's friend as sort of a "last effort" to deal with anxiety. After the very first session I noticed a difference in my day-to-day. Not only do we work through the hypnosis exercises, but Linda also has provided me with information and tools to continue my process of improvement. Working with Linda is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

This process has greatly helped me. It helped change my attitude and outlook, become more confident and let go of past fears.

Linda helped me overcome my fear of public speaking and self-doubts. She helped me to stop the cycle of negative self-talk and doubt. Hypnosis helped to relax and calm my mind when the fears and worry would set in. I learned how to move beyond these feelings and to stop dwelling on the negative.

I came to Balanced Life Hypnosis to try and overcome the fear of traveling by plane. I was concerned about anxiety, fear, apprehension, and hadn't traveled by plane for about 28 years. Through Linda's sessions with me, I feel that I can "center" myself more; project more positive feelings, and less worry about actually flying. She is teaching me to worry less about things that are out of my control, that are just "life." I'm working on the self-hypnosis techniques that are really helping a lot!

Before coming to Linda at Balanced Life Hypnosis, I had a lot of anxiety with winter driving and in daily life. Through hypnosis, Linda has helped me overcome my anxiety and realize why it existed in the first place. She also helped me overcome other issues that I wasn't even aware of until hypnosis. I highly recommend Linda and Balanced Life Hypnosis.

I have taken three sessions with Linda and I feel more confident and energetic than when I started. I feel that hypnosis has not only helped with the specific area that I wanted help with, but it has helped me in other areas requiring more energy. I also feel that Linda understands her client and it sometimes feels like it is a therapy session for the soul.

I came to Linda almost in desperation. I had been dealing with a skin/scab picking disorder for years. It had gotten much worse and made me very self-conscious especially in the summer when my arms and legs were exposed. After one session I was amazed at how little I was picking. By the third session I was absent of any scabs. I am thankful and forever grateful for the gift Linda shared with me.

Hairpulling (Trichitillomania) I came here to try and stop my addiction and make urges easier to cope with. I haven't pulled my hair since the first session. Urges are easier to ignore. Other things in my life have become easier such as school and I feel less stressed. Hair pulling is easier not to do.

I started sessions to help balance my life/ emotions. Between the exercises and the sessions I have improved immensely. My attitude and temper are much better as a result.

It was during one of the most difficult times in my life that Linda came to my rescue. I was caregiving for my wife, who had late-stage lung cancer. Committing whatever energy was necessary to take care of her, I didn't always have enough left over to take care of myself, the result being very elevated levels of stress and anxiety. Linda helped me to navigate through this tumultuous period by guiding me through relaxation techniques and visualization methods to alleviate the strain. I will be forever grateful for her help. I can't recommend Linda highly enough.

Linda has been wonderful with my 8-year old daughter. She was able to come down to her level and give her tools and techniques for better coping skills. My daughter has been able to overcome her anxiety and hesitations when it comes to sports performance. She is more confident and capable of motivating herself. We can't thank Linda enough and will continue to work with her in the future.

Hypnosis has helped me very much with sleeping better, as well as having less stress during the day. I will always keep listening to the recordings I was given because they help me end my day and start a fresh new one. I very much recommend Linda for hypnosis.

I had a wonderful experience with Linda Gilmore at Balanced Life Hypnosis. Being in the healthcare field, I was very curious about the possible effect that hypnosis could have on my life and I am so glad that I gave it a chance! I felt that the sessions with Linda were very insightful and therapeutic through our conversations and in depth discussions regarding my issues that I hoped to address. I felt that she helped me to better understand myself and get at the root cause of my problems. She gave me strategies and realistic goals to work towards confronting my issues and even though my sessions have ended, I am excited to continue to use these mental modalities to work towards a more healthy, happy, content me!
