Hi, my name is Shannon, and I have a needle phobia. No one ever took it seriously when I was a kid, so I didn’t take it seriously as an adult…until I became pregnant and couldn’t avoid it anymore. I cried when the midwife told me I’d absolutely need to have blood drawn, there really wasn’t a way around it, and the next day I called Stephanie Voss. If I was going to have to do this, I wanted to do this with as little fear as possible.

Stephanie was a joy to work with. For the first time, my fears were validated, and I felt understood. Over the course of three sessions, she helped me get to the root of the problem, honor it, and move forward. She also gave me confidence to be open about my fears and not ashamed of them, so I can better communicate what my needs are to medical professionals.

Since I finished my sessions with her, I’ve had my blood drawn twice with no fear. I used to go white as a sheet, sweaty palms, on the brink of a panic attack just thinking about getting my blood drawn, and today I had the option of getting it done now or waiting a week, and I said, “Yeah, let’s do it!” Who am I?! Haha! I use tools like lidocaine patches, fun distracting music, and deep breathing, but I go in knowing they’re trying to help me, not hurt me, and that’s thanks to Stephanie.

Hypnotherapy with her felt like a combination of therapy and deep meditation. It’s not nearly as “woo woo” as I expected; it was a very practical mental health service that benefited me deeply. If you have any roadblocks in your life, I’m positive Stephanie can help you move them out of the way.

I am very glad I made the leap and decided to see Stephanie for hypnotherapy to quit smoking. I have been smoking on and off for 20 years and it was about time to stop. My first session was 3 months ago, and I am happy to say I have not had a single puff since. Stephanie is talented, sincere, and very compassionate and understanding. I tend to be awkward with people I don’t know, but she made me feel comfortable and welcome right off the bat. What she does is quite magical. I am truly grateful for her. 🙂

I had been deathly afraid of needles, including shots or blood being taken, for as long as I could remember. It’s safe to say that I had a complete phobia of needles. I had only had my blood taken twice in my entire life, and both times I ended up fainting, and not being able to be woken up. Once my husband and I started talking about trying for a baby, I knew that I would have to address this fear. I wasn’t sure what to do but having been a dedicated meditator for the last several years, I decided to try hypnotherapy.

I began the journey by searching for a hypnotherapist in my area, and luckily came across Stephanie through Yelp. After some additional research, I reached out and quickly scheduled my first session. From the moment I met Stephanie, I immediately felt comfortable with her, and could tell she was passionate about her specialty. The first time we met she spent a long time just listening to me, and asking questions about why I was pursuing therapy, and what I was trying to accomplish. I am happy to say that after only a few sessions I was able to conquer my fear! Luckily, a few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. I scheduled another session about a week before my 12 week doctor’s appointment when I knew I would have to give my first blood for prenatal testing.

I am delighted to report that I was not only successful at giving blood on the first attempt, but I was extremely calm through the entire procedure. My husband couldn’t believe the change in my demeanor, as he had gone with me several times in the past to attempt to get my blood taken. Every time I had tried in the past, I would leave screaming and crying, defeated, and traumatized. He was honestly in shock, and so was I. I couldn’t believe how easy it was for me to have my blood taken.

I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough! I plan to do more sessions in the future to address public speaking. Although, I do feel comfortable speaking in public, I would love to gain more confidence to better my career.

Thank you so much Stephanie from my husband and I, and our future baby!

I have known Stephanie through her amazing work since 2009. Her ability to prepare a session cratered to my needs is a true sign of a gifted master in the arts of “mind work.” She had helped me with test anxiety and taught me strategies to cope with anxiety… Recently I needed help and during our second session she had a whole agenda lined up but when I told her my mental state and triggers she immediately changed what she prepared and I experienced what would be equivalent to 80years of daily therapy in one hypnotic session. To know she can help me feel liberated from my mental prison of the past and present is beyond expressive words! I am very straight forward and strong willed, but I had to surrender to the fact I struggle on a deep subconscious level with feeling powerless. Thank you so much Stephanie you are such an amazing and profound healer of the mind. Many people like Oprah, for example, have access to people which allow them to be larger than life, people whose help allow them to ascend and live, you are one of those people. I am so grateful I decided to open a god forsaken yelp where hysterically narcissistic people have a voice but to me this the validation you deserve because your skills are beyond words. What you do for me is priceless and I appreciate you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the power of infinity!!

My husband and I took Stephanie’s hypnobabies class and had an amazing experience! She’s a really caring instructor and she’s really passionate about the subject. Her classes were very enjoyable, and she covers the materials very well; she’s also very accommodating and if for any reason you miss a class, she would help you catch up with the material. She also really cares about her students and our success – she constantly followed up after our class to make sure we were prepared for our births and was genuinely excited to hear about our experiences and meet our babies. I had an amazing birth and I highly recommend this class for anyone thinking of having a natural birth. Oh, and did I mention she brings snacks to class? Stephanie really exceeded my expectations and I’m really glad we took this class.

I had no idea what to expect when I had my first session with Stephanie, but I’m so glad I trusted my instincts and went in anyway. She is by far one of the most gifted and intuitive people I have ever met.

I’ve been working with Stephanie for several months now on my fertility journey, and I can honestly say that she has changed my life in profound ways. Doing hypnotherapy with her is like inviting this beautiful person to go inside your brain and gently rewire old connections that do not serve you or no longer have to exist. Bad habits have fallen away, self-care has taken on new meaning, and I am able to focus on and believe in what I want, instead of what I don’t want. She has led me to explore images in my mind that I can hold onto, and through her guidance I have found a new inner strength.

Stephanie is incredibly good at what she does. Her voice, her energy, her insight, her compassion, her kindness, her humor, how she goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and to understand who you are and how she can best reach you. Whether you are interested in hypnotherapy for quitting smoking or weight loss or getting pregnant or just simply to enhance your life, I can’t think of a better person to go see and to trust. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever been more relaxed or more at peace as when I walk out of her room!

She has taught me skills that I use every day, and her support has made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend her more 🙂

I must admit, I was skeptical going in to get hypnotherapy for quitting smoking. I have tried a bunch of different times to quit and it has never stuck for more than a few months. After seeing Stephanie ONE TIME, my desire to smoke vanished in 3 days. her quitting smoking package includes 3 sessions, all of which I’ve completed, and, though I felt after the first one like I never wanted to smoke again, the other 2 sessions reinforced my smoke-free-ness. I’d highly, highly recommend this treatment if you want to quit smoking – I started when I was 14, so I’ve been smoking for 19 years! Yuck! I am so happy to be free of it and I honestly don’t think I could have done it without Stephanie.

“I was struggling with insomnia for some time in 2008 that got terribly frustrating (popping awake every 2 hours, taking hours to fall back asleep, etc.). After a consultation and session with Stephanie my problems virtually disappeared. she was very thorough and paid great attention to detail and follow up. I can’t recommend her services enough!” April 8, 2009

“Worry about having to re-take the GREs in just a few days was keeping me up. After our session on test anxiety, I used the Sleep Now CD. I slept well despite my young son waking me up three times in the night; every time I woke up, I felt rested.

“I actually increased my math score by almost 200 points thanks to our session. It really helped!  I had to guess on the last three problems which is not bad, especially compared to my last test experience.  My verbal score stayed the same, but I know I can do better and I will.

“I look forward to having another session with you.  I’m a believer in what’s to come. Thank you so much for your help!

“I always wanted to write, but life always got in the way.

“Since I had a session with Stephanie, I am focused and make writing a priority. In fact, I have already written my book proposal and am ready to send it to a literary agent!

“I would recommend Stephanie Voss to anyone. She is truly a skilled hypnotherapist!”
