Positive Changes Hypnosis Center

since coming to positive changes in Jan 2012 I have lost 10 lbs! My goal is 30 so Im so close. The front desk is so helpful and friendly. I have tried every diet in the book, it would work but I would lose 5 gain 15. With positive changes I dont feel deprived of foods I used to eat on a daily basis. I was a huge sweet lover and now I have just one treat a week, on fridays after I go to the gym first! I would recommend this to anyone trying to lose weight, why waste your time on diets and exerise gimmics that dont work. The hypnosis has also helped me be more focused in school. My grades have gone from a C average to a low A. I think its because Im less stressed and anxious. more

I will probably sound like a broken record of some other gal. Yes one who has tried every crazy quick fix weight loss diet, pills included. Even one where you shake the powder over your food to enhance your sense of smell to satisfy your appetite. I'd lose the weight and add an extra 10 to 20 lbs. on. I had seen the Positive Changes Hypnosis add on TV for months and I honestly thought it was another gimmick. My husband said Wendy let's do it together. We will help each other and this will be our year! He was so excited that I got excited. He called immediately and made our appoitnment. Positive Changes has been the most wonderful, happy experience. So satisfying for me as emotionally and mentally strengthing and healing. I was a ""Cherry Peps -aholholic"" I called it the ""Elixir of the Gods"". I no longer crave it nor sweets. I don't have the cravings and food doesn't control me anymore! I have lost 30 lbs since starting the program Jan. 18, 11. I'm drinking my 8 to 10 crystal clear 8oz.glasses of water, eating healthy and exercising. Believe it or not I love to exercise now and look forward to it! I love the CD'S I have my own little pep talk each day and night. I am definately a happier woman. Being able to do this with my sweetheart has been a great bonus. He is my Cheerleader and I'm his! I love my Personal sessions and the helpful suggestions and directions. Helping me refocus or get clarity. I am learning to love me for who I am and to let my little light shine! How about that Edward! I said it! HA HA more

This so far has been the easiest and fastest way to a new and rewarding life change. I have lost 55 lbs. since going to Positive Changes. I have never had to weigh in, that has been my own responsibility. The cravings for sweets, sodas and most junk food are no longer controlling my thoughts or mind. I love listening to my cd,s it makes me feel like someone is there cheering me on everyday. Without them I could not do this on my own. The personal sessions are awesome. I come away with a whole new attitude, that i am important to me and i am worth it. This helps me to keep going. Love You Positive Changes and I have recommended you to several. I can't thank and praise you enough for all you do. Hey Folks, It works! Joan Snow more

Six weeks ago I began going to Positive Changes Hypnosis in Spokane, WA. I was actually quite skeptical as to whether I would notice any changes in myself when I first began, but since they have a money back guarantee and will give you ALL your money back if at the end of your first visit if it is not for you, I figured I had nothing to lose. I didn't have any preconcieved ideas as to what to expect, but by the end of my first visit, I had no intentions of asking for my money back. I'm guessing that I am not the typical customer/patient as I was not there to lose weight or stop smoking. By the time my second appointment came around, my stress levels had dropped significantly and I was sleeping much better than I had in years. Since that time, things have only gotten better. I'm still not sure what exactly I expect out of it, but this has been a fantastic experience for me. A big part of how great this experience has been is the staff. From the girls at the front desk who are awesome to deal with, to the facillitators (I hesitate to call them ""hypnotists"" as that brings to mind the circus and that is NOT what this is) who are great at their jobs, I can't say enough about how good the experience has been for me. I would definitely recommend Positive Changes to anyone needing/wanting to change some aspect of their lives for the better. more

i love the tapes they are very relaxing and you feel so good after using them. the staff is nice and very helpful so far the experience has been great. more

I watched the ads for years and kept thinking that seems like it would work. I knew from my experience that counting calories didn't do it; Focusing on food was stressful and made me want to eat more and then I'd beat myself up. Guess what? When I started positive changes I found that is their philosophy too! Now I've learned how to get to that place, that place I knew intuitively would work for me. \r Anything I want to change is possible. I'm more focused and relaxed, motivated to continue making positive changes in all aspects of my life, more

I was given a gift 7 weeks ago that changed my life. My father bought my life back! I have struggle with emotional eating, sneaking food, and addicted to diet Pepsi! Food was my Drug of choice. After 19 failed ""Get skinny quick diets"" my father gave me a gift that I will always be grateful for. Positive changes has truly given me back control, comfort and peace. This is something I have not had for 15 years. My consultation with Positive changes was refreshing and promising. I felt for the first time that I found the magic key that will unlock my future. The first hypnosis was amazing. I was able to relax and let go. I let my walls down and became vulnerable to my truth, fears and addiction with food. I learned quickly that my obbsession with control could be used for good. I took control over my life that very moment. I left Positive Changes that day and have not had one drink, drop or lick of diet pepsi! That in itself is a testimony to how the power of hypnosis works. For all my family and friends that know me, know that a day in the Life of Amy does not exist unless Pepsi exsist! I have been free of Pepsi for 7 weeks and found the gym to be my new addiction. I go to bed easily every night and wake feeling new. I make the gym a huge priority (never experienced that prior to Positive Changes). I have new goals in my life. The one thing I giggle over this whole transformation in when people are puzzled by my new behavior and lifestyle. I am a beleiver and want people like me to believe to. I deserve to be happy, healthy and free of my old self, so do you! more

I have been going to Positive Changes for a little over 2 weeks and have already lost one pant size.I don't know how it works but it does. I have tried pretty much every diet out there in the past with little or no success. I would definitely recommend Positive Change to anyone.I feel so much better about myself,I'm more motivated,I look forward to exercising everyday and I have a lot more energy.Everyone in the office is so nice and understanding,I look forward to going every week. more

I have found a 2nd chance to live a very healthy life. Positive Changes has me so high on a cloud right now. I really didn't know I could feel so good. I have been with Positive Changes for 17 weeks now. I am so wound up at this point. I so look forward to my next appointment with the next hypnotist. All you need to feel great is a clear head and a goal.You are welcomed by a very warm staff, hypnotist,and friendly clients wanting the same thing you do, a good healthy life. Failure after failure of other ways to help me lose weight was a waste of Good Money, time,and no good results. My husband and I decided to check Positive Changes out, and so glad we did. They have taught me to change my unhealhy habits to Healthy Ones. Not only do you lose weight but you learn how to do good things for yourself. I sure wish I could turn the hands back for all the wasted time I spent to be a total failure. I truely feel like a REAL WINNER NOW. And I owe it all to Positive Changes Staff,Hypnotist,and other people that are looking for what I have found. A NEW HEALTHY LIFE! There is no real word to express my THANKS! more

I have tried a variety of diets over the years but every time I gained the weight back and then some. My cravings for certain foods never went away. Within three weeks after my initial session I had lost 8 pounds and no longer crave chocolate or desserts. I stop half way through a meal because I recognize that I'm full and I have no desire to try and finish the rest of the food on my plate. I immediately gave up sodas and sweets and began to crave salads, veggies, fruit and water to drink. The biggest benefit of it all is that I don't MISS anything and I don't CRAVE anything, so there is absolutely nothing I'm depriving myself of. I eat whatever I want, the difference is, I only want healthy things and I only eat what I need to feel full. I'm excited to see what happens over the next few months, but having started the program, I can see why people have lifelong results. It's about changing how you look at food. For me, food is no longer a focus, it's an afterthought. more

This program is a real life changing opportunity. It addresses so much more than weight loss. It really helps you become a more positive, focused and balanced person . It helps you deal differently with negative people and stressful situations which will help you in all areas of your life.\r The weight loss is easier than any other program I have tried in the past as it is NOT a diet. It is truly a lifestyle change. The hypnosis has made it very easy for me to give up longstanding sugar and Diet Coke addictions. That was like magic and I couldn't belive how my cravings were truly gone. The focus of the program is about healthy choices and not about deprivation. I am even enjoying regular exercise now!\r I recommend this program to everyone who has struggled with weight loss as it addresses the changes that need to occur in your brain as well as in your body. \r It is an ongoing inspiration to see Janine (one of the counselors) who successfully completed the program and has kept her weight off for years. She is the voice of experience about the program and has fantastic tips and suggestions that are very helpful.\r I truly believe that I will achieve my weight loss goal and that I will have better skills to keep me on track and be successful in all areas of my life!\r \r \r \r \r \r more

Positive Changes has definitely made some positive changes in my life. I think about how I eat & what I eat & how if AFFECTS me. I've never done this before.\r Not only am I working on my weight issues I've had my whole life, but whatever I'm struggling with, whether it be stress, problems sleeping, anger-they address those things as well. WHICH...affect my EATING.\r I do love my changes. And I will say, Edward @ the Francis PC is a top notch hypnotist, as well as human being. I cannot say enough about the difference he's made in the way I see things & look at myself. I hope he never leaves there.\r more

Positive Changes is just like any other tool...helpful, but the real work comes down to you. And they'll tell you that, too. They help change your way of thinking. They've taught me that it's okay to think of myself. It's not selfish. By taking care of myself, I can take care of others. more

I was drawn to Positive Changes because I had seen the good success it had for a friend of mine. \r \r I have tried several diets and programs...all of which did not cause a permanent life style change. With Positive Changes I don't obsess over the food anymore. My cravings are gone! I have so much more energy and I actually look forward to exercising. I have gained these life changing skills by simply relaxing! It couldn't be any easier! \r \r I am well on my way to my weight loss goal and am so glad I came to Positive Changes. \r \r All the hypnotists are so encouraging and pleasant and really want to help you succeed. more

I started at positive changes at my husbands recommendation for weight loss and am amazed at how much better I feel. I'm only losing about a pound/week which is slower than any diet I've been on but then I don't feel like I'm on a diet so that means it is finally a life change not just something I do for a while and then gain everything back after I've quit dieting! PLUS I am sleeping better, have more energy and a much more positive attitude. On a side note Edward, one of their hypnotist, has such a relaxation inducing melodious voice that Patrick should consider have him tape a series of tapes. more

I have drank my enitre life and it has never been much of a problem until the last 2 years and i started drinking more and more. I finally one nite decieded i had enough and did not want to go to AA as i did not feel like i was clear at the bottom but did want to stop drinking. I had always seen the adds for them on TV. SO i thought why not give them a try and i went in and just supper nice employees and some even know you by name and just make you feel real good. It is a postive place. So my first day i went in for the evaulation and they said they had a program which could help me and if i could come back in a few hours they could get me in for my first appointment. I had lots of people pretty sceptical of the program and also many telling me a bad time to try and quit right before the holiday season. Well long strory short after the first session i had no craving for alchol and made it through the holiday season no problems and poured others there drinks with no problems. I am still going and it is amazing it seems to be helping my anxity and i have not slept as good as i am now in years. I would strongly recomend Postive changes for anythng you are trying to accomplish. I do feel though one underlying premise is that you have to want to change your habit or addiction there are no mircles it takes work and you have to be commited to helping yourself and following the program. more

Joining was a huge step forward during the Holiday season. My introduction consultation was such a lift that I knew this is what I needed to make a permanent change in my life. Each week has been a gift of knowledge to unravel the old me and open up a new me to face making some serious changes in my life. The entire staff has been so positive and I look forward to each week. Weight loss is happening and I love it! more

I disagree with yakpatm.\r My experence could not have been better.\r I thought the lady that gave me my evaluation was sweet and very caring, she made me feel relaxed, and was very up front .\r the program worked for me, just like I was told it would work. I think if you have a positive attitude when you go in, and if you follow the program , it will work for you.\r I reached my goal in just a few months. The hypontists are not there to work out your problems, they are there to help you change your bad habits, and give you that positive change you need to over come the stress, and over eating, lack of exercise , or other addictions.\r I went thought the most stressfull two years of my life, and I was still able to lose the weight, and get though the stress, thanks to Positive changes Hypnosis.\r The hypnotherapist were very professional, and were very kind. You do not need to worry about anything bad happening, there are camera's and every word you say is recorded, and every thing is on the up and up. You are very safe. so that is not a concern, plus you are fully awake and never asleep, unless you fall asleep on your own, because you really do feel relaxed . I never fell asleep. but in the classes, when you listen to the CDs I have heard people snore, LOL\r \r I think it is worth your time and Money to go to Positive Changes Hypnosis. I really can not say enough about the woderful staff and hypnotist. they are well trained and wonderful people.\r My sister is going and she has already lost 25 pounds, and she is on medication that causes her to gain weight.and she is going to the Portland Or. office.and is happy with them.\r \r I think if you go to PCH for what ever addiction you have that the program works , they are there to work on the addiction, not to slove your emotional problems, although I think that when you go though the program many of these can be resloved on their own. \r \r Like I said, it really worked for me, and I would recommend it to any one who really wants to improve their life. be it weight loss, or some other addiction, lack of sleep, improve their sport. or overcome shyness. its not just for weight loss. Just bring a positive attitude.and you will do well.I am very pleased with my results.I can not speak for any of the other offices but I can say, the one in Spokane is very supportive and professional.Thanks to Positive changes I am now a size 2. and so very happy!!!!!! more

For the cost of about $2300.00 for their weight loss program they should have working equipment & not turn on you when a complaint is made about things not working. Most of the hyptonist are not hypnotherapist but just people they trained for their business. This can be dangerous. They will tell you anything to get you to sign the contract but they do not honor what they say. In part of the initial interview they get you to cry & feel very depressed. This is what the interviewer is told to do. Read the Portland, OR reviews, I sure wish I had first! They also will highly edit anything you say or just have no record of it if it suits them. I tried to talk to the manager about problems & was bullied & lied to extensivly. I filed a complaint with the Spokane BBB & Positive Changes replied back with so many lies that I was stunned. Many people I spoke to in the parking lot are afraid to make any waves. They saw how I was treated after speaking up. You are video taped the times you are in the building so no one talks unless it's outside & ""safe"". Very Big Brother like. Also realize that for every commercial you see about success there are at least 5000 or much more that it didn't work for. The place is run like a livestock auction ring. Overall it is a very poor quality service & operation. I wonder now how the employees & management can sleep at night. I know I couldn't if I ever treated someone the way they do. SHAME ON THEM. Cons: Not Honorable more
