Focus Hypnosis

I like to tell the story of how Mary «saved» me from having to put Crazy Glue on the bottom of my shoes when I was asked to make a 20 minute presentation/​demonstration in front of what I thought was supposed to be 50 people… when it fact it turned out to be 500 people! A few years back I was approached by an organization to speak about holiday gift baskets — something I am well versed in since I own my own gift basket company, Bravo Baskets. When I had the initial conversation about how many people I would be talking to, I could have sworn the organizer said 50 but when I did the walk through of the facility a week before the event, I was told it was 500 people. WHAT? I immediately called Mary and told her it was either her helping me through the anxiety of the presentation… or me putting Crazy Glue on the bottom of my shoes so I wouldn’t run off stage or canceling all together which of course would not be good choice for anyone. One session with Mary and using the techniques she taught me had me sailing through the presentation that night. And I can say this with full confidence because my mother came to watch me and she’d be the first one to tell me if I didn’t do a good job. She told me I «nailed it!» This is all thanks to Mary. In addition, I have sent others to Mary that she has helped to overcome a variety of issues in their lives that conventional therapies did not solve. If you are unsure if Mary can help you… talk to her. Free consultations are the best way to know if it’s a good fit (and I’m sure it will be!)

Mary Heath of Focus Hypnosis is such a gift to this world. She has helped so many people that I know harness the power of their own mind to change habits, release fears and improve their lives for the better. She is professionally trained, scientifically driven, has many years of experience and is genuinely so passionate about helping people. I would recommend her highly to anyone interested in how hypnosis might help them. She takes the time to explain how hypnosis works, do a thorough evaluation and answer questions. If you have any curiosity about hypnosis, I would recommend giving Mary a call!

I’ve been working with Mary Heath of Focus Hypnosis since early summer. Let me just start off by saying that I’m NOT the kind of person you’d ever think would ever try hypnosis: I’m pretty skeptical in general & downright cynical about things that seem at all mystical or hocus-​pocus. However, I’ve been unsuccessful in trying to make some changes in myself, and my disappointment in myself was negatively impacting my self-​esteem and coloring almost every aspect of my life. I was literally out of other ideas so I investigated hypnotherapy, and I found some info about Mary Heath and Focus Hypnosis on her website… frankly, I didn’t think I COULD be hypnotized but out of desperation (and curiosity!) & figuring I had nothing to lose, I made an appointment.
I found Mary to be a complete and knowledgeable professional, and she took her time to answer all my questions and concerns involving her practice & hypnosis in general. She’s very warm and empathetic (and to my relief, she’s not covered in crystals, wearing mystical symbols or reeking of patchouli or sage!), and holds professional credentials and adheres to established ethical standards for hypnotherapy. She asked questions and took some personal history in order to gain insight into my concerns; after I explained to her what it was that I wanted to get out of my sessions, she was able to tailor her approach to my personal circumstances. She made no promises and offered no «magic, but explained that she has had much success in helping people replace old negative patterns (quitting smoking, reducing stress, irrational fears, getting past a lost relationship or loved one, etc.) by retraining you to change the way you think about such things, while in a state of deep relaxation.
I noticed positive changes even after the first session, and more changes after additional sessions. Mary also provides exercises for self-​hypnosis training, and includes reinforcement CDs for your own use at home to support lasting change. I feel like I’m on my way to making improvements in my life, thanks to Mary’s help. Anyone considering hypnotherapy for the first time (even a skeptic like me!) should consider meeting with Mary for a consultation. I’m really glad I did.
