ANXIETY AND FEAR

“John truly listens to what's troubling you taking the time to ask all the right questions and really trying to understand. In this dizzyingly fast world we live in that is so rare..... John really understands the human psyche and will amaze you with the precision of how he hit the nail on the head when you start telling him about yourself. The moment you open up to him he will start hitting you with issues you probably never realized were actually bringing you down and not letting you live your life to the full. John is a HEALER in every sense of the word."

Pat Azzopardi, 37 years old, Malta

BLADDER CONTROL

“Before I went through hypnotherapy with John, I used to go to the restroom every 10 minutes or so. My restroom visits were so frequent, it came to a point where I couldn’t ever enjoy myself anywhere. When I went to restaurants for dinners with my family, I would go as soon as I get there, and then go again at least 2 or more times during the meal, and then again before we left the restaurant. At night, I would constantly wake up because I felt the need to go to the bathroom. On family trips, I also had to stop at all of the rest areas and the service stations and the restaurants in between to use the restroom. It was driving me crazy!

At one point I decided that this had to stop, so I decided to try hypnosis. I had heard about it from some friends of mine and was quite skeptical – but I thought I had nothing to lose by trying. After meeting John and going through hypnosis, I have been on long trips – and to my joy, I have gone up to 4 or 5 hours without using the restroom or even thinking about it! Now I can go through the night without waking up and I am finally able to enjoy dinner with my family without any interruptions.”

CAREER ADVICE

“I am a 19 year old college student and a year ago I was majoring in mathematics when I met John. I was always pretty good at math, but at that point in my life I was simply bored with it to say the least. It wasn’t giving me the challenge that I wanted. I made an appointment with John, hoping to find some direction. I liked that he is so approachable and down-to-earth! The first thing I did as we sat down was to complete a personality profile that John designed himself. From the results, I saw that mathematics was one of the careers that I was geared for. I told him that I was already in the field but wanted something more challenging, so John told me to looked at the alternatives. When I saw that investigative journalism was one of the careers that would be great for my type of personality, I was shocked because I have always admired people who chose this line of work. I knew it wouldn’t be a hard decision to change my major. I have now made the change and I am so much happier with myself for doing it. Thank you, John!”

T., 19 years old

COACHING

“Not only have sessions with John changed my life but he has become a friend as well. I was going through a rough time last year when I decided to try hypnosis with John after testing out other providers. John is patient, open-minded, and really listens to you and offers helpful advice. I came with my list of all the things that I wanted in my life and I got almost everything that I wanted! It really works. I have surpassed and exceeded all the goals that I set for myself. Give John a try. It will change your life!!”

"The Gold Coast Marathon is over, and I am pleased to report that your recommendations (plus whatever else I did) re my injured left foot worked. During the last week before the race (6th July 2008) I concentrated fully on the exercises and the race, and the action paid off. I managed not only to finish the race, but ran the full distance, and improved my last year's time by five minutes. Thanks!"

DEPROGRAMMING ABUSE

“My sessions with John started when it was brought to my attention that I had lost control over myself and my life. My confidence in my professional life unfortunately did not spill or reflect in my personal life. I felt lost and depressed. My attitude was constantly bad and negative and I would snap at my family for no reason. I was having huge and frequent emotional outbursts. I was straying from my husband and loved ones. I lost my pride, my sense of self, the values I grew up with. I had affairs and spent my time talking to countless men on the internet. It seemed like I was living in a different, fantasy world and I was a different person, completely detached from reality. When the men started calling my cell phone and my husband realized what was going on, it was like a harsh wake up call. I didn't even think about the danger I could have placed myself and my family in. I came so close to losing it all – family, marriage, even career and life. I almost threw away everything that mattered. Nothing had meaning any more and I didn't care. For the sake of myself and my family, I had to take my control back so I could get my life on track. I had 6 sessions with John. We tackled the issue of my emotional, mental and physical abuse as a child between the ages of 0 and 7, all those issues that were rooted deep inside myself, and it all started making sense. I had to let go of all those ugly feelings and turn over a new leaf in my head. It was the hardest thing of all to face what I had done to myself and others. Today I feel reborn. I finally recognize myself, the real me, and I feel so blessed and so very lucky that I was given a second chance to put together the pieces and move on to a better life with my loved ones. ”

DEPROGRAMMING / INFERTILITY / WEIGHT LOSS

“I would like to take this time to express my heartfelt thanks to John Owens for his selfless ness and professionalism in helping me to be a better person.

I met John thru a dear friend of mine as he came highly recommended as a therapist/hypnotist. I originally approached John with the question of Subliminal Messages thru the brain. I desperately wanted to have the gastric bypass surgery but found I was facing another major surgery and could not afford to have both. So my question to John was, couldn’t we train my brain to think I had the gastric bypass surgery? His response was very encouraging and I became very excited. John, being the professional he is did say yes, we could do this but in order for any suggestion or surgery to work you have to know why you eat the way you do in order to break the cycle of overeating. I was able to talk to John on a daily basis, any question or concern I had was answered immediately with a response. I never once felt like he was saying what I wanted to hear, he was open & honest and that led me to do the same. Actually I was more truthful to him than I had been in my entire life. There was a time that I had to be brutally honest & I will not lie, it was rough & painful, but he helped me thru it, he talked to me daily, several times a day if I needed it. He made me dig into my past and he helped me to see that the things that happened to me as a child were not my fault. I was a child, and I had no control. I have since found out why I have behaved and reacted to people the way I did/do my entire life. Now that I know why I behaved as I did I have the power to break that cycle, and knowing is half the battle. He pointed something out to me that I had never even considered, it was my body language. He referred to open or closed posture. And I have become more aware of my body language. Most importantly, he has taught me to forgive and love myself.

I was skeptical about how my husband would receive the treatment and I was going to leave him out of it, but John was adamant about him facing every step with me and I was relieved to find out that he was behind me all the way and my new clarity, understanding and forgiveness has brought us closer as a couple.

John’s approach was several sessions of hypnosis. Each time he took me under with deep breathing, which is very important and would project positive thoughts about letting go of the past, making conscious efforts to exercise by increasing my metabolism and to eat small portions of healthy foods. He also gave me a projected goal to visualize and daily affirmations I was to repeat. Almost like magic I lost 5 lbs. John is a firm believer that the scale is a hindrance instead of a support, so the scale went in the closet, and I only know I have lost an additional 4 lbs because I went to the doctor, not to mention that my clothes are fitting looser.

See, I am completely convinced that thru positive thought and deep breathing I have reached complete and utter peace within myself. And I have been told that positive thought and positive attitude brings about positive action. Well, like I said I was facing a major surgery, and that was a hysterectomy. After ten years of hearing the doctor tell me that I would never conceive another child I had come to terms with that fact. We were blessed with a daughter 15 years ago and she is the light of our life, but I am a nurture and I so naturally I wanted another child. On July 13th I was on the operating table just about to receive my IV to go to sleep when the doctor says that we need to postpone the surgery due to my pregnancy test coming back positive. You could not imagine the shock and joy that went thru me. I truly believe that along with this being a gift from God, this is also the result of positive living. Once I let go of all the shame, guilt, hate, hurt and negativity I was cleansed and like I said at complete peace. Something I had never felt before but I was able to recognize it for what it was because I no longer faced each day with pain and sorrow but joy and happiness. I am 38 years old and that’s a lot of wasted living.

I was abused as a child, actually it was my earliest memory and it lasted until I was in my early teens. I can not express to you the hell I put myself through. Even though I have only known John a short time, I feel as though we have traveled a lifetime together. There are not words to express my gratitude to him for what he was able to give to me, myself. I am a better wife and mother thanks to John and most of all I am a better person.

If anyone out there is reading this and having doubts about what this man can help you accomplish, please just ask him for my e-mail and I would be happy to talk to you personally. There is nothing like the feeling of actually being happy to wake up and face another day. John, I will forever be in your debt."

FEAR OF FLYING

"I have to travel frequently on business, often I have to take long flights. I used to get sick and nauseous every time I had to go on a plane, and I would feel frozen with fear when the plane took off. I took dramamine and each time I felt like a wreck. I'd be so nervous that each time I take a book to read on the plane and I never manage to read even one page. I could not focus on the book and forget about being in the air. After only one session of hypnosis, I had to take a flight to London. I did not take dramamine and I read almost a whole book. I didn't even watch the plane movies to distract myself as I always used to do. From now on I'll take a hypnosis session each time I have to catch a plane and I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to get over a fear of flying."

P. Swinton, 42 years old - Georgia

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

“I have had high blood pressure most of my adult life. In July of 2003 I was diagnosed with a blood pressure level of 220/ 150. If you know anything about blood pressure, you would know that this is extremely high (normal blood pressure is 120/80). I was sent to the hospital because I felt sick from it and couldn’t function normally. My doctor tried different medicines to help lower it. The last time I was in hospital, I stayed overnight, until my blood pressure finally came down to around 160 over 98.

I had heard about hypnosis but was unsure that it could do anything to help me in my situation, but at this point, I was desperate, so I called John. He said that hypnosis would help me change my bad habits into good ones, and that my blood pressure would go down. Some time after the session, I suddenly felt the urge to start exercising and eat healthier. About 3 weeks later, I saw that my blood pressure was around 160/103. The following week it was around 143/98. Then just the other day I had it checked and it was 129 over 88. I couldn’t believe it!”

HYPNOTHERAPY AND COACHING

“I lost my job in 2006 and didn't know what to do. I was on unemployment, trying to find another job but that's not what I really wanted. All my life I dreamed of being a freelance writer. I had a few sessions with John. I wanted to become more aggressive about a writing career. After the hypnotherapy, I could feel my motivation increase. I decided that as I had so much time on my hands, I may as well start writing a book. I finished it a short novel in one month! Less than 2 months later, I found out I was getting a book deal! I'm certain I could never have pushed myself to do this if it weren't for John's help. Sometimes I feel I have wasted so much time thinking about it and never got the guts to reach for it! So I'll always be grateful to John for giving me my dream back and getting me to forget my fears....thank you John!"

Paula, 35 years old - Atlanta, GA

LIFE COACHING / MOTIVATION

"When I first started with John, I was very unsure of my direction and how to get started and in which direction to go in. As time went on with John’s hypnotherapy, I began to realize that I do have direction and options and the ability to be programmed and or reprogrammed to stay on course with my vision of how I view myself.

John’s techniques have helped me in having direction with my life in ways only you would need to experience to understand.

I highly recommend his approach to getting started with your life and or following through on it!"

Harvey D. Ward, Personal Trainer - Atlanta, GA

LIFE COACHING / PHONE HYPNOSIS

“With just one session, followed by a few emails, John has helped me get my life back on track. I have to keep reminding myself of what he said to me, but it's helped me to feel better about myself, remember my accomplishments, move towards my goals, and be more comfortable in my skin."

Erin McRaven, 32 years old - Athens, GA

MOTIVATION

“Thanks so much for being there for me and putting things in a better perspective. You have helped me tremendously...keep on your own path. What you do DOES make a difference in peoples lives."

K. - Baltimore, MD

MOTIVATION/ GOAL SETTING/ STRESS

"Before any more time goes by, I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for having received such excellent care from your hypnotherapy and success coaching services. Although I had no prior experience with hypnotherapy in the past, your approach made me feel immediately at ease. I was comfortable throughout our entire sessions as I felt totally in control of my mind and body. In fact, my sessions have helped me gain more focus, insight and confidence in dealing with day to day and stressful situations. Since visiting with you, I have been able to achieve a much higher level of personal and professional success. Instead of steps, I have taken leaps toward my long term goals with a surety I had never felt before. Thank you for helping me stay in the 'the zone'."

Dr. Christopher D. Scoma, Chiropractic - Atlanta, GA

PHONE HYPNOSIS

“After my session with you I have been working out at the gym almost every day. My body has changed remarkably and I have been gaining several pounds of muscle. I am able to picture my goals and attain them!

Also, I just met with the biggest agent in Las Vegas yesterday and we are going to start working together on a project for a show. Things are coming together in my life at an amazing rate and I feel like I am really on track.

One thing I didn't expect because it wasn't really one of my goals with you is that I have stopped smoking pot. I don't consider pot to be a bad thing per se but I am really glad to have hypnotism take me to the same place without the other side effects that do get in the way.

I would like the whole world to discover hypnotism. Thanks for getting me started"

Peter - Las Vegas, NV

“After only one session of phone hypnosis with John, I feel that it's a feeling of well being that I will strive to maintain in my everyday life. I'm certainly looking forward to a second session. Keep up the good work John. Regards and thanks again."

Antoinette - Malta, Europe

PMS

“I have always suffered from mood swings right before and during my menstruation. These moods were so bad that I would cry for no reason, wouldn’t want to be with my friends nor want to talk with my husband. He and I would fight over petty things, and sometimes not talk to each other for days. I felt I couldn’t take it any more and really needed to do something about it. A close friend of mine told me about an herb she was using called Evening Primrose. She said it helped her and she drank the tea almost every day. She also took pills. I never quite brought myself to go out and get it – I also knew I didn’t want to take any more pills. But I knew I had to do something because as I got older, it appeared that my moods were getting worse.

I met John and he said he could help me with this problem naturally, through hypnosis. Of course, I didn’t believe it at the time but I was at wit’s end. After my hypnosis session, I was amazed at how my moods changed. I have stopped crying and being depressed all the time and I keep myself active with positive things, such as reading, exercising, or going shopping! If I feel a wave of sadness come over me, I make sure to nip it in the bud with more positive and uplifting thoughts.”

P., 35 years old

SELF-CONFIDENCE AND MOTIVATION

“When I met John, I had been in therapy three times a week for 5 years. I told John about my problems and how therapy was so intense that I always left feeling emotionally drained. I was made to remember old buried memories that I had long forgotten. All I wanted was to be able to feel more confident about myself and have a positive attitude about life, make my life worthwhile. He told me that he would work with me and help me build my confidence and assertiveness skills and he would also teach me how to stay positive when I am around negative people and especially during bad times. Today, I feel free of the old me, I took up art lessons and started playing the piano again. I like to go out and do things for myself. I feel like a new person, with a strong and positive attitude on life!”

D., 45 years old

"I was impressed with my hypnotherapy session with John. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease about the entire process. His unique method for inducing the hypnotic state was surprisingly effective. I wasn't sure it would work, but, in fact, it worked perfectly. I recommend hypnotherapy in general, and John in particular, to my friends and co-workers."

Don McCullough, Internet Marketing Specialist, Atlanta, GA

"When I retired from my teaching job, I was yearning to buy a car and start driving but was afraid to go back to driving after 20 years. I just did not feel comfortable about it and the thought scared me. For all this time I depended on my husband to drive me from one place to another. While on holiday in Atlanta visiting my daughter I met John and had a few sessions with him. Now here I am back home driving around in my new Smart car! Thanks for the help, John."

Yvonne Borg Salnitro, 60 years old

SURGERY (PRE)

“John, I'm seeing a little double right now but , had the surgery. i can not believe I was relaxed and comfortable. I kept remembering to just give them a shell, i was in Florida [mentally] for the most part. I really do need you again soon, to work on the other things. I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me. I will see you soon."

Dr. William - Atlanta, GA

KILLING THE "SWEET TOOTH" (CRAVING FOR SWEETS)

"Hi John,
I so enjoyed our session yesterday. You are great, very passionate about what you do and great at it. You were a fantastic introduction/first experience to hypnotherapy and I look forward to integrating it into my life regularly. I also really appreciated you coming to get me when I was lost and taking that extra time with me. I will recommend you to anyone in the area who is interested in hypnotherapy. I'll keep you posted on things and I'll drop you a line when in the area. Also, yesterday I had no sweets nor today, I just had zero desire for them. Very weird. I have also been saying my affirmations regularly."

Sandy, San Diego

WEIGHT LOSS

“I have tried many different weight loss plans on the market. You name it, I’ve done it -from liquid diets to the cabbage soup diet to South Beach to simple starvation. I would almost always lose about 10lbs the first couple of weeks and that was it – I couldn’t go any further. I would lose all my motivation. My metabolism was in terrible shape that nothing I could do would allow me to lose weight the way I wanted to – even if I ate absolutely nothing for a whole day.

When I met John, he showed me how my focus was in the wrong place. He educated me on lifestyle change and the importance of drinking water, eat healthy, doing exercise (like stretching, walking and strength training), and increasing the metabolism. He told me that I needed to stop thinking so much about losing weight, and focus more on becoming a stronger, healthier person. After the hypnosis session, I found myself feeling more motivated. I started watching my calories by eating smaller portions, and even joined a gym. If I go a day without my exercise, I feel bad about myself. I feel I have to make up for it the next day. My body shape has changed and I feel so much fitter. I went from a size 16/18 to a size 14 in clothes, and when I look in the mirror I like what I see!”

A., 32 years old
