Testimonials
Hypnosis
as Anesthesia
"Duncan Tooley recently had surgical repair of an abdominal wall
hernia. This procedure was accomplished under his self-hypnosis and only a
small amount of local anesthesia. This operation went very well and was no
different than if he had received a general anesthetic. He was discharged from
the hospital within an hour of the end of surgery. I have never experienced this
before in my 30 years of surgery." Jack

Hypnosis
for Pain Relief
"I
have lived with chronic pain from non-diabetic neuropathy for almost ten years.
During this time I have spent thousands of dollars on ever type of alternative
therapy including massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc., to relieve my pain.
My pain doctor has been able to relieve some of the pain with high doses of
narcotics and I have been able to function semi-normally. Recently, however, I
have become increasingly depressed from the amount of drugs I was on and the
pain I had.
I
run a chronic pain group and I had invited
Duncan
to come and tell us his story of how he used self- hypnosis for relief from his
neuropathy. Naturally I was very skeptical at first, but he was able to relieve
the pain of everyone in our group with a few examples of his work and I was
sold. I signed up for his next class on self-hypnosis for pain.
Once
I began using the short routine that he teaches, my pain decreased dramatically
and I stopped taking 6
Norco
(Codeine) tablets daily. I am now progressing on eliminating the
other narcotics I am on. I am feeling wonderful about getting my life back!
My husband and my doctor are both amazed! I tell everyone I meet to
go take the class and learn how to help yourself." Jane
S.
"I was suffering from a back injury when I called Duncan to request
over-the-phone hypnosis. I definitely felt relief and more relaxed after
my hypnosis session. Now I am enabled to manage my pain and anxiety over my
herniated disc."

Hypnosis
for Sleep Disorders
"I approached my first session with Dona with skepticism that she could
help with my recurring and frightening dream problem.
Dona put me at ease immediately. She walked me through different
stages of my life, taking me back to a forgotten very
emotional moment.
Dona guided me through analyzing the event, and coached me with coping
skills to put this event behind me. My disturbing dreams have ceased! Now
I am a convinced believer in the power of hypnosis and Dona's skill at applying
it." Shelton
Bourgeois, computer scientist & math teacher.
"A good night's sleep is priceless! With Dona as my guide, I was about
to win my long battle with insomnia. First, we had a successful session in
Dona's office. I had a delightful experience, but the goal was not an
afternoon nap. Dona made a CD so I could have her voice in my ears as I
lay in my own bed at night. For a few weeks Dona's CD was my companion as
I entered into a restful night's sleep. Then, I thought, I can do this on
my own! Now I may have an occasional bad night, but who doesn't? I AM NO
LONGER AN INSOMNIAC! Thank you, Dona!" Maxine

Hypnosis
for Attitude Change
"I didn’t know anything about hypnotherapy when I first met with Dona.
Her technique proved to me that it is a very natural and a powerful tool. There
was no mystery in the process of relaxation and trance work. I remember every
step. The process changed my
attitude to thinking positively and spiritually about almost everything. The
lasting effect on my thinking and behavior is ongoing and energizing! Dona’s
method is gentle and affirming, a mark of a gifted therapist."

Hypnosis
for Attracting Whatever YOU Want
"I
was actually a little skeptical going into
Duncan
’s self-hypnosis class for "Whatever I Wanted," but that
quickly changed as he guided me down to access my subconscious mind. I had
already been working on using my mind to attract what I wanted, but something
was missing. For me, self-hypnosis become the missing link to bridge information
in my logical mind over to my emotional mind. My wife wanted me to teach her
what I had learned, so I did. She feels that it keeps her
mind c
lea
r and focused during the hectic work day. We both regularly practice the
self-hypnosis techniques together in order to change habits in all areas of our
lives: career, relations and even dietary habits. It works great and we feel
great! "

Isobe, Insurance Agent
Hypnosis
for Getting Organized and Focused
"I
attended
Duncan
’s
class seeking a remedy to my life long challenge with time management and
procrastination. For years I lived with the undue pressure of
leaving everything until the last minute, often sacrificing quality because of
inadequate time and preparation. As a business consultant, time is money,
and time management is crucial to success.
Duncan
’s
self hypnosis class was remarkable! His simple, easy to use techniques
have helped me identify harmful tendencies and quickly remedy them.
The affirmations he provides are a wonderful tool I use as a daily reminder to
stay on the right track.
Over
the years I have invested in time management seminars, tools and tips.
Duncan’s class was by far the most effective, and the most enjoyable! Thanks
to his expertise, I now spend my time more productively, and I have more time
for the people and activities that matter in my life!"
