I was having some difficulties with performance anxiety and relaxing in times that required it. I came to Linda and approached her with my concerns and she felt confident in being able to help. She was polite, professional and direct with regard to my issue. After the first session, I noticed an improvement and after the second session, I feel I am in control of my anxiety. I would recommend Linda to anyone looking to improve their life.

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.

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.

When I first met Linda I was feeling rather defeated due to my constant struggle to lose weight. My initial goal was a weight loss of 15-25 pounds over the course of our sessions. It is now my next to last session and I find myself falling short of my weight loss goal, but I found instead, a renewed excitement to becoming active - which in turn has helped me feel happier and more accepting of my body image. I still believe I will reach my weight loss goal - but it may take a few more weeks than expected. I will succeed.

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.

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.

I came here for help with anxiety and self-confidence. I no longer feel anxious, breakout in hives, shake, sweat, stress any more. Everything has gotten better for me since hypnosis.

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 have struggled for many years to quit smoking and "stay quit." Linda's hypnosis services have helped me incredibly - no patches - no withdrawal - no smoking! Thank you Linda! :)

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 entered into the hypnosis process highly motivated to change my smoking behavior. Proudly and with confidence I have come to my third appointment completely smoke free for two weeks with no desire to ever go back. Linda is caring, compassionate and willing to work with and listen intently to you - which I think truly makes this process 100% worth it. I am so happy to have finally achieved this personal goal with her help and highly recommend hypnosis to anyone seeking true change.

I had given up on the thought that I had the ability to ever stop smoking after many failed attempts over the years. I was skeptical about hypnotism but decided to give it a try. After all, everything else had failed. I had the thought that waving a pocket watch and stating, "You are getting very sleepy," was hypnotism. I couldn't have been further from the truth. I am now not only smoke free but have a new lease on what I can accomplish. I can't thank you enough Linda. You showed me how to take a negative and turn it into a powerful positive. You are highly recommended by me.

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.

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.

Having been a smoker since I was 30 years old, and wanting to quit so many times, I finally decided to try hypnosis. It still amazes me that after one session, I've been smoke free and have had no desire or craving for a cigarette. I was a pack a day smoker. I feel so much better--more energy, getting so much done, and am so proud of being a NON-SMOKER!

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 interested in improving their life.

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

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 can't believe how much better I feel. I am moving all of the time and not tiring as easily. People are starting to ask me what are you doing, you look so good and younger. I only wish I would have heard about hypnosis years ago. I am so excited that I never have to find a new diet again because this is for life...

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!

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.

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.

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.

I came to Linda to help me with weight loss through hypnosis and was able to become serious about healthy eating and exercising. Linda also helped me to focus on healthy living. An added benefit was learning how to breathe and become calm and relaxed.

My experience participating in this weight loss program has been very beneficial in multiple contexts. I was able to stop gaining weight, began losing weight, started eating healthy, and began exercising. Also beneficial was learning to manage stress resulting in an increased sense of well-being. I would definitely recommend this program to others. Lastly, I will continue to practice the skills I have learned thus far and am motivated to gain better health. And, I would also add that my counselor (hypnotist) was always supportive and encouraging.

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.

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.

I came to Balanced Life Hypnosis because I lacked self-confidence and had anxiety. I feel better about myself and have discovered a reason for my lack of confidence. Now I have been enjoying my life and feel much better about myself. I feel more confident in myself and have made more friends. I'm amazed at the depth of hypnosis - that it can reach old situations buried in the mind and address the problems. I feel comfortable referring this service to others.
