Dear Wendy,
I can't thank you enough for helping me to stop smoking. I now feel like a non-smoker; that's a big change from feeling like smoker who has quit yet again. After only one hypnotherapy session together with listening to your CD for the past three weeks, I know in my healthier heart that I am a non-smoker for the rest of my life. Truly a breath of fresh air!
J.W.Dear Wendy,
Your hypnosis worked miracles! Yes, I experienced what I consider normal before-singing apprehension/ butterflies, but no different than when I perform my own music. However, my anxiety during both nights - at the dress rehearsal and at the performance - was greatly reduced. Just before I began to sing, I told myself to remain calm and relax, and enjoy the experience. I didn't get that all-too-familiar tightening and the feeling that I had no voice or breath.
In the interim, I will continue to do the self-hypnosis for the remaining 20 days, but I'm estatic by the results I have now. It was a pleasure working with you. By the way, my husband is really surprised at how calm I seem in general. Thank you so much.
D.B.Dear Wendy:
Thank you so much for all of your help. Hypnosis has changed my life in so many positive ways. For the first time in years I can honestly say that I feel free and wonderful because I am non-smoker for life.
Your smoking cessation program has allowed me to quit smoking without the use of drugs or nicotine replacement products. I have been able to quit cold turkey little to no side effects. The usual cravings, which can be incapacitating, were very minor and easily overcome. The post hypnotic suggestions you provided helped to keep me focused and relaxed whenever I felt like I wanted a cigarette.
Weight gain is another negative aspect of quitting smoking that I have always suffered from in the past. With hypnosis I did not replace food for cigarettes and after three months have actually begun to lose weight! I have also been able to bring the self-hypnosis you taught me into all aspects of my life. It is a wonderful stress-reliever and is so quick and easy that it can be done anywhere at any time.
Thank you for helping me to become a healthier, happier person Wendy. For the first time I feel fully prepared to face the challenges of remaining a non-smoker for life. Hypnosis has done that for me where no other method could do.
Yours Truly,
K.M

Dear Wendy,
Thank you so much for the wonderful healing session last Tuesday. I no longer have that horrible anxiety and I feel like I crossed a barrier that I have been trying to cross but could not. I plan on seeing you again, to work on some other issues. Looking forward to seeing you again,
S.P.

To Whom It May Concern:
In Oct. 1999, after much consideration and exhausting other conventional forms of help, we sought out Wendy Armstrong-Hauraney in an attempt to help our youngest son, then 10 years old. He was having a great deal of difficulty with a facial twitch as well as his self-esteem, interaction with others and his ability to concentrate and excel in school. We visited with Wendy, at which time she was able to put both my son and myself at ease, we found she had a definite way about her and was able to gain my son's trust easily and quickly, then and only then, did she proceed with the hypnosis.
My son was fully aware of everything; she made every attempt to calmly and carefully explain every aspect so he would grasp fully what was happening. In addition to visiting Wendy in her home, she gave us, as parents, tools to use as home, tools which we continue to use to this day when we see our son needs a bit of extra help.
Happily ourselves, as well as his teachers, peers and grandparents, noticed improvements right away. He grew more self-confident daily, his twitch dissipated and then disappeared altogether, his marks in school improved dramatically and he was able to control his body as well as the feelings of frustration and desperation by practicing what Wendy taught him. Today he still has episodes of frustration especially when school started back in Sept., but thanks to Wendy he was able to nip them in the bud, and on his own. He practiced his relaxation techniques and we read the positive reinforcements to him nightly, and within a very short time saw the improvements once again.
Although skeptical at first, I am now truly convinced that through Wendy and her skills both in dealing with people and as a hypnotist, my son now has the tools he will need to get him through any of life's trials and tribulations. By allowing her his trust he gained valuable insights into his own body and mind and I know he would not be the fun, loving, excellent student he is today were it not for this treatment. We are truly grateful.
Sincerely,
P.S.

Our eight-year old son had been soiling himself daily during school or at the babysitters after school. We took him to CHEO for 9 months trying to solve this problem but nothing was discovered as a cause and nothing worked.
After three hypnosis sessions with you in November and December 2000, he has been, and is, completely clean and in control every day without even one mishap.
We don't know how you did it but it worked. He is making more friends and showing more self-confidence.
Thank you,

Hi Wendy,
I had my interview today. I felt calm and and relaxed once I entered the room with the interview panel, although prior to going in the room, I was extremely nervous. This is the first time I've been able to feel so relaxed during an interview. I'd have to say, the hypnosis worked well for me.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi Wendy,
The hypnosis sessions to control my nail biting were a complete success. I haven't bitten my nails once since my first session.
Thanks.

Dear Madam,
I saw you in November and December 1999 for a cure to my nail biting. Since I was born, I had never been able, with the help of my sole willpower, to overcome my nail biting, a really disgusting habit.
This letter is a note of sincere thanks to you for the good you have done me. My hypnosis sessions with you have worked wonderfully, through my subconscious mind, to rid me of that habit. I have not been biting my nails ever since and I think I am cured for good. Anyway, once again, I thank you for your wonderful help. And, who knows, I might be your client again in the future, as I believe in the power of hypnosis.

Wendy,
I just wanted to tell you that I have changed very much. I am a lot more friendly and easy going. I've noticed that I am more calm and peaceful inside. There is no more panic, fear or hatred going on inside me. It's a great relief because now I can smile and talk with everyone. Just this weekend I went out with some friends and I was very social and receptive of people. Many commented on how friendly I was and were amazed with my change.
I am very happy with our hypnosis sessions. I have made great progress. I feel good that I have been able to release and let go of so much of my past inner fears and insecurities. I'm discovering that I can love myself, and that is changing my life. I guess the best thing that is happening is that I'm able to hear my inner voice much better.
Merci :)

“…I'm feeling a lot better. The good days are really good. Bad days are just dull, not intense, as they were before. Only normal worry. Feel like my old self again.Thanks.”

“I no longer have any desire to eat chocolate, sweets or cheeses (her "pig-out" foods) or fattening foods. I am completely satisfied with what I eat even though I have decreased my portions at every meal. I even had an emotional upset this week and I did not turn to food, as I would have before. Because of the extreme heat this week, I didn't exercise as I should have but I have still lost more weight and I am right on schedule with my weight loss program. Thank you!”
