Ginger's session was incredible! As my first try with hypnosis, I didn't know what to expect (or how well I'd do), but Ginger immediately put me at ease. I felt safe and guided the whole time, though the work went deep. I can't recommend Ginger more, she's really amazing.

Have been attending therapy for a little under one year and feel more relaxed after sessions. She also provides tools and resources for support post-sessions that have been helpful. Has helped to see positive side of situations and alternate possibilities

I have been going to hypnosis therapy for the last 6 months and really enjoy the sessions. I typically feel calm and optimistic/more hopeful after sessions and look forward to the life wisdoms gained. Would recommend for anyone experiencing recovery from trauma. I appreciate the relaxed and centered feeling after the sessions.

One session with Betty Hamilton was a life-changer for me. An overwhelming fear of heights has literally and effortlessly dissolved. Just returned from my first rock climbing adventure! Had a wonderful time thanks to her compassionate and skillful work. Cannot recommend Betty more highly!

My hypnosis sessions at Mind Matters Hypnosis Center have truly changed my life. The key difference I experienced there was the ability to "bypass" my conscious or everyday mind, and allow the power of my subconscious mind to be present and essentially "work with" me to effect changes I have long been working towards. The hypnotist I worked with was highly skilled, sensitive, reassuring, positive and very, very effective. I was worried that hypnosis wouldn't work for me, as I have tried many different therapies with some results but not the lasting change I was looking for, and it's really true
