Stephanie Riseley Hypnotherapy & Past Life Regressions

Working with Stephanie has been wonderful. I sought her help in dealing with work-​related anxiety, and after four sessions, I feel much lighter and laid back in life in general – especially when it comes to running my business. Through intuitive guidance and applicable advice, she helped me rewire my thoughts from panic to peace. Things feel a lot more manageable now, which is huge. As a person, she’s hilarious, genuine and relatable. I can’t recommend her enough!

Stephanie is a great hypnotherapist: experienced, intuitive and compassionate. I’m already motivated to turn my diet and lifestyle around after the first visit, she’ll create a customized meditation/​visualization program for you. Highly, highly recommended!

Stephanie is an amazing and resilient lady. We all need to know that or loved ones are always with us and help from the beyond. She is inspirational and truly gifted, and her sessions with her helped me more than any psychiatrist would. Finding out who I was in my past lives truly made me aware of why I am the way I am and gave me the strength to move on.

Working with Stephanie has been transformative and amazing. For years, I had problems sleeping more than 4 or 5 hours a night and after the first session, I began sleeping over 7. Just last night after a session, my alarm actually woke me up (that never happens)! She’s also helped me identify the areas in my life I can redesign to find real happiness. Between her past life regressions, book references, and instructional CD’s, she’s provided a full circle of resources and tools for me to get on the right path. I recommend her highly and am very grateful that I’ve had the good fortune to find her.

I sought Stephanie out pretty quickly after my move out to Los Angeles. As a woman in my early twenties beginning my new post-​graduate life, I wanted to shed old habits of thinking that would get in the way of serving my purpose. If you don’t believe in purpose now, after a session with Stephanie, you will. Our meetings both affirmed and specified what my purpose is and how to follow the clues in my life to a happier, healthier, more successful me. As a person, Stephanie is quite brilliant. Funny, candid, extremely well-​educated in multiple fields and most importantly enlightened, she exudes confidence in her ability to illuminate yours. She sends you home with suggestions for articles, books, movies, authors, etc. and for some sessions, a meditation PERSONALIZED FOR YOU from the session on both CD/​MP3. I would highly recommend her to anyone for any concern in his/​her life.

I came to Stephanie because I was having a lot of trouble making a difficult decision in my life. I was doing all the things I knew how to do to have a clear mind and open heart, but I was still very torn about what to do. A friend of mine recommended that I contact Stephanie to see if she could help… and help she did! My time with Stephanie changed my life, and I would highly recommend going to see her, regardless of what is happening in your life. Her impact on your life can be profound if you are open to changing habits and living a life full of love, awareness, and intention. She helped me to see more clearly the true path of my life and taught me how to access my «purpose» for times in the future when I might feel lost or bewildered again by a perplexing situation. I cannot say enough good things about my experience, but again, you have to be open to change, otherwise it would be a waste of time and energy.

Stephanie is amazing at what she does. She has helped me transform my thinking and take charge of my life/​desires. I appreciate her very much!

I decided to go to Stephanie after reading her book, «Love From Both Sides» (which was a very fascinating book!). I just had my first session with Stephanie and I can honestly say that after just one session, I already feel better than I have felt in months! I also feel closer to regaining my personal power and am confident that with her guidance, I will emerge from my issues much stronger and smarter. I am glad she is the one helping me on this journey.

I have not seen Stephanie in two years. Yes, I was a client and enjoyed my time with Stephanie. Two years later, I feel that my anxiety is manageable. I feared driving in Los Angeles, or any unknown area. I now have driven alone in many different cities. Previously, I avoided driving in any unfamiliar area out of fear of getting lost or in an accident. Recently, I was visiting California and drove by myself to a salon 45 minutes away from my hotel, and loved the drive. Don’t get me wrong, occasionally I still get scared of driving. For instance, I hate driving in Miami for good reason the people drive insanely there. If I had to drive, I know I would be capable. However, before I would of completely resisted ever driving there.
Another accomplishment I achieved because of Stephanie’s support and encouragement is going back to school. Stephanie really helped me believe in myself. I doubted that I would excel in school. To my surprise, I am a wonderful student. This Fall, I am excited to be going to school as a full time student. I developed a love and passion for education and learning.

I came to Stephanie completely broken. My world crashing down around me in every aspect of my life (work, death of a loved one, family issues, financial issues, loss of my home, marital problems, health problems) all at the same time. Stephanie immediately told me in her special way that, yes I was screwed, but there was a way out of my distress. No, she didn’t magically make all my problems dissapear, but she did give me the valuable tools, the understanding and the attitude adjustment I needed to control the way I reacted to the chaos. Right after my first session and a week of listening to the CD she recorded of my session, I was able to calm myself down and not let my problems perpetuate my even more stress. Basically she flipped my lid in one session. With my new tools I was able to find the beauty in my life and the many fortunes and blessings I did still have. Believe me the chaos is still there, but I don’t let it get to me.
Now, while I systematically and calmly attack each problem, I now have the energy and strength to work with Stephanie on actual personal goals. We are currently, working to tap into my higher self and understanding my true purpose in this lifetime. I am also learning how to be a better person, love, understand, forgive and not be judgemental towards others. I feel that my sessions with Stephanie were life changing. I am so glad I found her.

It has been a year since I worked with Stephanie — I’ve carried the incredible tools that she revealed with me each day since then. I enjoyed 5 sessions with her — she is very clear about the process and about focusing in on what you aim to achieve in your treatments. She is absolutely a no-​pressure therapist who only wants you to engage in what you desire. Frankly, she doesn’t want to work with people who don’t want to work on themselves — and why should she! There are beautiful mantras, lessons, and thinking patterns that she bestows through meditation and past life regression techniques — she is really practical and yet spiritual, so it gives you a calming sense that you’re in good hands (and not at the mercy of a manipulative «psychic» on the sunset strip…) You’ll be really pleased with your time with her, but be sure that you’re ready to commit to a life-​changing experience. It sure is one!

Stephanie is a gift from the Universe. When you are looking for a therapist of any kind, you need to find one that’s right for you. Not everyone will mesh with so many different personalities in this world, but Stephanie is perfect for me. The Universe sent her to me (or me to her depending on how you look at), and I’m more than willing to drive from Huntington Beach into the heart of LA for these sessions. You also have to put effort forth into changing. Stephanie is merely a guide providing keys to unlock your potential and free your mind. However, you have to use the keys and you have to put in the work. Only you can change you. It’s not magic, and it’s not overnight success. If you are not ready to change no one can make you. I am in the midst of a series of 5 sessions, and have already experienced a difference. My husband passed away suddenly at the early age of 35 leaving me with so many questions and searching for myself and my new path in life. With Stephanie’s guidance I know I am heading in the right direction and look forward to all the potential we are going to unleash! Thank you, Stephanie! Much love!

Stephanie the eternal optimist! She’s incredibly smart, funny, and thoughtful and one of the most honest people I’ve ever met. I discovered her because I am a huge fan of Brian Weiss, M.D., and his books. Since reading them and struggling with anxiety for years I thought I’d do some research to see if I could find a hypnotherapist to help me since I was in an extremely rough patch in my life. Lo and behold I found Stephanie who was located a few minutes away and had trained directly with Brian Weiss. Divine intervention! I purchased 5 sessions with back in November 2010. She helped me so much with my anxiety through hypnotherapy.
I still listen to her personalized CDs that she created for me to calm myself, to feel positive and aware, as well as to help me go to sleep. As she said, there’s no instant, magic fix. You have to put in the real work yourself but I couldn’t have done it without her help.
I also did two past life regressions that were amazing and helped me realize a major source of my anxiety. These negative reviews on here about her a joke. She was my saving grace. Two years later I’m happy, healthy and loved!

I heard about Stephanie from a friend and fellow neurotic. He was biting his nails and she treated him and he stopped.
I needed to see her for obsessive compulsive self-​mutilation. I would pick at the cuticles on my thumbs so much that the nail would grow horribly deformed. You can Google ‘median nail dystrophy’ and see for yourself. This had been a problem my entire life. I am a 32 year old, otherwise healthy male.
On my friend’s recommendation I saw Stephanie. I was very skeptical. Three treatments later my lifelong habit of picking my cuticles was gone. About six months after the first treatment session, my thumbs are normal for the first time in my life.
Stephanie helps in a number of ways.
First is the actual hypnosis. Hypnosis is not sleep or any kind of weird state of mind control. You will be awake and cognizant of your surroundings through the session. You also will not walk out of the session totally cured like in the movies. Stephanie makes CDs which you listen to every day in your own self-​hypnosis. This homework helps to re-​train your mind to avoid whatever destructive behavior you’re looking to treat.
Second is she encourages you to look a little deeper into your own soul to try to identify what outside stressors or subconscious demons are compelling you to do that thing you do. I personally cannot stand therapists and therapy, but while listening to her CDs I had the time to examine my own problems in my mind and help to think more positively about myself and others.
I would recommend Stephanie to anyone in a heartbeat. She changed my life!

I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone who wishes to transform their life. Stephanie has been a blessing in my life. She has helped me to realize and understand the strength within myself. With her help I am overcoming some blocks that have kept me from moving forward in my life. Stephanie does this all while making me feel relaxed and at ease. She is extremely easy to talk to. After a few sessions with Stephanie I definitely see changes in my life. I am looking forward to more changes as we enter 2011. Thanks Stephanie!!!

Stephanie is awesome — both incredibly helpful and insightful, and fun!
Stephanie came highly recommended to me from two independent friends, and I signed up for a first batch of 5 sessions in November 2010. One of the things I was wrestling with was if and when to propose to my girlfriend. Also, as an overachiever, I am hard on myself — a real taskmaster.
The first session we had, she gave her overview of the brain and how it works. I know quite a bit about the brain, but this was a GREAT review and Stephanie brought a new simplicity and elegance and entertainment to explaining how habits and unsupportive patterns form, and what we need to do to change them. I also appreciated she didn’t promise unrealitic «get changed quick/​instant results», and was authentic about what I needed to expect to do to retrain my brain.
She then did a hypnosis session for me, and recorded it. She said I should listen to it regularly in order to have my subconscious begin to trust Stephanie and her voice. I was pretty religious in listening to her recording daily before we met again, and it’s true — listening to it many times made it easier in our 2^nd session to jump into a past life regression… which I got a LOT of insight from!
Rather than going on session by session, let me say this: it only took 3 sessions to have some big breakthroughs in opening my heart, and in coming to a clear decision to propose sooner rather than later to my girlfriend (which I did on Xmas eve!).
Also, because of Stephanie’s recordings and help, I am MUCH more aware and better (though far from perfect) at watching my thoughts and changing them to more positive ones, more supportive of myself and less critical. One of my top priorities in 2011 is continuing to retrain my brain.
If you’re wondering whether Stephanie is worth the investment — YES! In fact, her rates are too low. The first batch of sessions was a huge help to me, and I’m sure I’ll keep working with her in 2011.

I purchased a package of 5 sessions with Stephanie. I was going through an earthquake in my life, and I wanted to better understand myself.
I thought that the best way to do that, was to look at some of my past lives. I looked at 4. They were pivotal to where I am today, and helping me understand where I was and what were my options were of where I was going. Stephanie was a huge help with this. She took me in at my first session as a confused and disheartened woman and after 8 months (I took my time), I turned myself around into having much more confidence about where I was going and what I needed to do in my life. She’s very intuitive in talking you through the regressions. She always said just the right thing.
My last regression was the best, as I did a lot of healing there. I can’t recommend her enough. Thanks

I cannot be more thankful for Stephanie’s help and guidance, whether it regards physical, mental, or emotional health. I can speak for not only myself but others, as I have sent her referrals, all of whom, are equally thrilled by her methods.
I quit smoking cold turkey following my first session, as well as kicked other compulsive habits. She helped me work through immense pain and traumas I had faced in previous years, which I am forever grateful.
Months after my initial sessions, I am still going strong with my CDs, as well as Stephanie’s love and support just an email or all away for any needed encouragement or just a quick hello. She really wants nothing but the best for others. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to better themselves!

Stephanie is wonderful!
She is one of the most giving, loving people I have met — who genuinely cares about helping others — helping them achieve their goals, helping them set themselves free (of many different things — habits, people, etc), and helping them be the wonderful people they are supposed to be.
Stephanie has given me spiritual, emotional and practical advice and guidance, and is available whenever you need her, which is rare and so valuable.
Her CDs are great — her sessions are incredibly relaxing. I have tried a few different hypnotherapists and she’s by far my favorite! And that is because of her incredibly personal guidance.
Thank you Stephanie! :))

I had a really bad experience with Stephanie and I found a lot if her comments and tactics to be unethical. I do not want to go into exact details, but I felt that she was highly suggestive and trying to implant traumatic experiences and implying certain things that I know are not true. I encourage you to do some research before investing in sessions. Again this was only my personal experience so I cannot speak for everyone. I wish you the best of luck in your search!
