The NY French Hypnosis Center

It’s been about a year since I went to Maeva for issues pertaining to social anxiety, and I still think of my sessions with her, and use the practices acquired therein, on an almost daily basis. The sessions helped me gain a lot of confidence and her approach has led me to finding new ways to work out problems I encounter on a day to day basis. Her warmth and compassion felt far more genuine than more traditional therapists I had gone to in the past. And unlike past traditional therapists, I was actually disappointed when our sessions had come to an end. A truly kind, encouraging, and effective hypnotherapist!

I would not recommend using Maeva. She is extremely judgmental and constantly says things like, «I had one mom who didn’t study her affirmations and had a 24 hour birth» or «another mom did not listen to her rainbow relaxation and needed a C-​section.» Are you kidding? She also promised me 5 sessions of 2 hours each, and every session was about 1 hour long. One day (Mother’s Day!!!) (my FIRST mother’s day :)) I was running late from seeing my dying grandmother (when I told Maeva this, she didn’t say, «I’m so sorry» but only «I don’t need to know the details), and Maeva scolded my husband and I for being 20 minutes late for our session (I told her we were on our way and would be there shortly) and she refused to wait. You care that I am late to my own session? She didn’t stay (even though she was supposedly giving us a 2 hour session). I would NEVER have her in a room with me while giving birth, after I heard the way she talked about the other births she had «doula’d,» i.e. sat in judgment upon. She is clearly not a mom and thinks moms long labors or C-​sections are from not studying her materials. Yikes.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Maeva. She was our hypnobirthing therapist, as well as doula during the birth of our daughter. The techniques she taught me were invaluable during the big day. I was much more prepared, calm and centered. Believe me, my birth DID NOT go as planned, let’s just say it lasted much longer and I ended up needing surgery anyway… but regardless of that fact, I still had a wonderful hypnobirthing experience and without Maeva’s help and presence I absolutely wouldn’t have had such an outcome. I am SO grateful!

I came to Maeva last month because I needed help to get rid of some old deeply anchored addictive behavior that was holding me back from living my life fully. It was my first hypnosis experience and I didn’t know what to expect. Maeva was sweet, understanding and compassionate and in only two sessions she literally CHANGED MY LIFE.
I have found myself and I fear less. Nothing seems unachievable. I am in my mid twenties and I feel like I was given a brand new life. I know now that I have a great future ahead of me!
I can’t thank Maeva enough for helping me dropping the bad habits :)
