I am amazed and grateful. Lani exudes incredible healing energies, getting to the root of behavior by asking the right questions which has enabled me to finally quit my dependency on cigarettes after 60 years of smoking. I urge anyone who has struggled with this or any addiction to try hypnotherapy . The process is amazing!

I went into this experience completely skeptical of hypno-therapy. I have had several years of CBT therapy at the Beck Institute in Phila. I had no idea one could be hypnotized over zoom either. I felt relaxed and comfortable until I was in a dream state and I have no memory of the suggestions that were placed after a certain point in the process. I originally saw Lani for quitting smoking and confidence issues that were affecting my performance at work. Over the next few weeks my friends and family all noticed I was standing up straighter, acting more confident, and I was able to quit smoking

Lani is exceptional. I feel validated and for the first time Im heard . I can honestly say her approach to helping her clients to overcome any issue whether its anxiety , sleep issues , weight loss, or unresolved patterns she will help you transform . Her office puts you at ease, making it comfortable to express feelings not so easy to convey .

I felt very comfortable with Lani. She is a very caring person. Lani first worked on what was the underlying cause for my overeating and stress eating. She helped me to have a better relationship with food and a better attitude toward myself. I feel better and I am and taking care of my body through exercise and eating healthy. (and I'm losing weight, YAY!) Overall, a great and helpful experience.

I went to Lani Watkins for hypnosis to stop smoking. She is very calming, makes you feel very relaxed, and the hypnosis worked beautifully. I am now a non-smoker. Don't even miss it. I would highly recommend Lani to anyone considering hypnosis.
